It does not work.

But only in the folder tree, The normal view works.

But it will be fixed in next version.

I have not decided how that should be handled yet.

There are three way to handle that. Open an instance of the program for every dropped file or send all files as parameters to the program or only accept the first of the dropped files.

Most program does not support opening multiple files. For example try dragging two files and dropping on Notepad then notepad will not open any of them.

I thinking that there need to be an option on the launch item where it can be configured how that item should handle multiple dropped files.

Using V2.1.1 64bit Build 1045

Problem- When I right click on an existing folder New Folder not working - refer to attached image

Ahh I see now. There a problem with new folder when it is selected from the folder tree. If you do it in the list pane it works.

I will put it on the list to fix for next version.

SFTP is not support (yet).

SFTP is SSH File Transfer Protocol. And Actually does not have much do to with regular FTP.

FTP-SSL/TLS is something completely different. it is normal FTP that are using SSL/TLS

The default size of the column is stored in the [Default] ColumnSet.

Add all columns and modify the size to fit your need then right click on the column header and select "Customize Column Set..."

Select "[Default]" and under the list of columns you have a "Copy columns from " a dropdown list. Select "[Current Column Setup]" , Press OK..
and then press Save Changes.

Your current column layout and sizes have now been copied to the [Default] column set

Script / Re: _FindFirstFile strange behaviour
« on: May 14, 2012, 15:49:52 »
I have not tried yet, but i wonder wheter it is possible to use do...while loop.
No Do-While is not supported. And I kind of skipped that because it is not necessary, You can do most thing with the for and while loops. But it would be nice to have. But adding new core function like Do-While to the script engine is time consuming because it is so easy to break the code and it also require so must testing.
I do have a lot of automated tests for the script engine but even so cost of time is to great at the moment There are a lot of other features that are more importent.

However adding library functions (like _FindFirstFile, and other function that are not part of the core language) to the script language is cheap.

Script / Re: _FindFirstFile strange behaviour
« on: May 14, 2012, 14:50:07 »
_findfirstfile match by using a wildcard filter. So when using exact name it fails so it is a bug.

Anohter The "Problem" with _FindFirstFile is that it only support local file system. I was planing to add so that used the virtual filesystem layer in MC. So that all file systems that is supported in MC could be used.. Like Ftp, Zip, and so on. But I never got the time.

Thats wait it also is missing from the online doc. But I will add it to the documentation. and fix the pattern matching issue.

I have a couple of script issue Im planing on fixing soon, So if there is any script functions you are missing let me know.

Script / Re: Create emty text file
« on: May 14, 2012, 12:51:38 »
Unfortunately I do not think there is a way I set the file into rename mode after that.

Calling one of the internal commands from script would solve that. I been planing to add something like that. I will see if I can add that in the next version.

If you just want to create an empty file you can also write "cf <filename>" in the commandline field. Then an empty file with the given name is created in the current location.

Showing the shell context menu when right clicking on drive button is something that I have on my list.

If I get the time I will included it into the next version.

3965
That have worked before, I will check and fix that.

I don't know exactly what problem DelInvFile fixes.

Multi Commander do support extra long path in most places.  up to around 4096 characters in most places and up to 32000+ in some other.

By the way, tooltips for these items look strange.

Yes the tooltip are strange. They are referring to text item in the language files that does not exists.

I will fix that

Yes it is the settings panel that has a bug. There is a way to fix it manually-

Edit "<mc install location>\Config\ZFileManager_def.xml"

At around line 145 you see


      <item type="chk" key="layout/customdatetimeformat" attribute="value" default="0" text="#s382">
        <item type="edit" key="layout/customdateformat" attribute="value" default="yyyy-MM-dd" tooltip="#s383" />
        <item type="edit" key="layout/customtimeformat" attribute="value" default="HH:mm" tooltip="#s384"  />
      </item>


Change that into

      <item type="chk" key="layout/customdatetimeformat" attribute="value" default="0" text="#s382">
        <item type="edit2" key="layout/customdateformat" attribute="value" default="yyyy-MM-dd" tooltip="#s383" />
        <item type="edit2" key="layout/customtimeformat" attribute="value" default="HH:mm" tooltip="#s384"  />
      </item>

Indeed, custom datetime format is not applied.

1. No changes are made to ZFileManager.xml file when saving settings.
2. If values are changed manually by some editor, then they are loaded and displayed in settings page, but have no effect in Explorer panel.

So the only visible effect is when you enable/disable "Use custom date and time format" option. But most probably only default hardcoded custom format is used.

There are no hardcoded format. by default is uses the same format that is defined by Windows, and that is depended on your regional settings in Windows.

But there is some issue here.. I think it is the settings panel that does not trigger that the edit field has changed.

But If you edit (zfilemanger.xml) it manually it works (xml tag "customdateformat" and "customtimeformat".)  just make sure that the option "use custom date and time format" ("customdatetimeformat") is also active. else it will not try to load it

Sir, I went to Use Custom date and time format option. It showed checked and has only two sub-options. yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm which are fixed. There is no option to add or replace or delete them. Tell me how do I change to d/M/yy H:mm.
Double Click in the "yyyy-MM-dd" field and it will enters edit mode, and you can modify it

Check following link on how the date and time format should be written

« on: May 11, 2012, 13:51:36 »
I don't think it is possible to change in windows what program should be opened when you press WIN+E

You need some hotkey program that override the default behavior of Windows.

I never used it myself but I think you should be able to do it with AutoHotKey

How to customize panel columns (Name with Extension, Size in bytes,  Date in H:mm, Time in m:ss) and delete Attrib column.  How to save this permanently.
Sir, my Windows Xp default date settings are d/M/yy and time settings are H:mm. How can this format be set and saved ?

By default it is using the date and time format defined in Windows. But you can override that in

Menu > Configuration > Explorer Panel Settings > Layout (Tab)

Scroll down to Date / Time format

There you can check "Use custom date and time format" and then change the format there below.

How to create Hotkeys to Compare files between left and right panel by Name or Size or Time). How to save this permanently.
Sir, when I go to menu > configuration > Keyboard customization > Explorer Panel and select Edit - Compare Folders Select Newest/Missing and remove Existing key then enter new hotkey then assign and save, it is not saved permanently. When I close and restart Multi Commander, This option does not show new assigned hotkey.
When you makes change in keyboard customization the configuration file : CustomKeymappings.xml  is created/change.
Look in your configuration folder if that file exists. and if it is changes when you do a change.

To find the config folder goto
Menu > Help > Goto > Config Folder

1. How to customize panel columns (Name with Extension, Size in bytes,  Date in H:mm, Time in m:ss) and delete Attrib column.  How to save this permanently.
Right click on the column header and select "Customize Column Sets..." and then select the "[Default]" column set.
Then click on the change button under the list of column to modify what columns to show, When you done then press "Save Changes" How this column setup will be used as default.

2. How to prefix folders at time of start (Left : C:\Program Files\MultiCommander, Right : D:\Data Files0. How to save this permanently.
Normally it will remember last folder you was in and keep that. But if you want the same path always to be shown you can send then as parameters to the program.
You edit the shortcut for MultiCommander.exe and add to the -L="path left" -R="path right"
for more command line option check the online doc here

3. How to create Hotkeys to Compare files between left and right panel by Name or Size or Time). How to save this permanently.
menu > configuration > Keyboard customization

Under module select "Explorer Panel" and under commands you need to scroll down and you see "Edit - Compare Folder, Select ....." commands and you can there assign hotkeys for the commands.

I wish [some] toolbars would be rearrangeable and dockable not only horizontally but also vertically. Monitors become wider but not higher. So a toolbar buttons may take only half (or even less) of useful horizontal space, but a whole vertical position.
That will not be support.  It is not possible the way everything is built.  But Toolbars will be able to be shown/hidden but it will not be possible to rearrange them in different order.

E.g. Button panel. I think it's redundant. 32 buttons, 4 states = 128 buttons. And it also can't be located vertically. I tried to move it outside MC's window and resize it: i thought buttons will be rearranged from 4x8 to e.g. 1x32, but they just became narrow and high - not what i expected.
So here is what i think:
If the button panel was dynamic in rearranging the buttons the behavior when showing them would be very strange, I tried that.. Did not work good. But some changes for it are coming. It will be easier to change how many rows to show. (Today you have to manually change it in the config file) and it will also be possible to disable the alternative buttons stats for the buttons.

If you want it vertical you can edit the MultiButtons.xml file manually and change cols="8" to cols="1". But you need to move buttons around if you want to keep them because they are fixed to row,col position.

1. File filters may be moved to the ones in the explorer panels as dropdown items with ability to edit them.
2. Drive buttons (in the button panel) are useless since they may be shown in explorer panels
3. Hotpaths may be also expanded in a way to store more paths: e.g. paths with assigned hotkeys Ctrl+<digit> would be "hot paths" and first in the list, others would be "quick paths"
1. Moved ? you mean changed from an edit field into a dropdown with history of previous filter ? Something like that is/was planned. But it did not work so good. I might give it another go later on.
2. There are a lot of thinks that are double. Some user prefer them there and some prefer the drive toolbar. and some user change just change the buttons to what they want there instead.
3. The idea with the hotpath is that they are assigned to hotkey Ctrl+<num> and since there only are 10 digits on the keyboard I do not think it would be good to have more there. But a whole new path/file favorite system is under design. It might replace the hotpath completely. not sure yet.

So button panel may become just one of the toolbars. And toolbars would need some additional options like "Only text", "Only icon", "Text and icon". So user would be able to create own toolbars: some might look like present button panel, some like ordinary toolbar.
I was testing that but it did not workout so good since the toolbars will be very long and even on large monitors you will run out of screen space.

Optionally, custom user toolbars may be additionally represented by menus (or/and menus may be represented as toolbars).
There will be a way to add own commands to a toolbar. More info about this is coming soon.
