Nice idea.

Some of them might be able the change to be able to customize.

But some is using the build in progress in windows. And that can not be changed.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Different sort of folders and files...

« on: October 07, 2011, 10:15:33 »

Nice idea.

But the problem with that is that it is not easy to visualize that in the GUI.
Now sorting is controlled by the clicking on a column in the header.

Having separate sorting for files and folder would create a messy GUI. 

Maybe if I figure out nice way for it.

Configuration -> Explorer Panel Settings - >Color (tab)

"Color file/folder base in file/folder name"

You have 4 colors to defined and you enter wildcard matches like "*.txt" or "*readme*" and
you can also have multiple matches "*.txt *.png *readme*"


If that configuration is not easy to understand then maybe I need to rethink how it can be improved.

It was used for something.. For the component that that shows files, checked and selected is not the same. An item can be selected but not checked..

But I'm not sure if it is used in the file browser anymore. it was used before. But so much has changed so I'm not sure if it is used anymore.

I have an item on my todo list that will use it in the future.. maybe..

Support and Feedback / Re: Why different types of tooltips?

« on: October 06, 2011, 15:23:39 »

The tooltip in the file browser is very special custom made tooltip component.

The problem is that this special tooltip controller is more advanced to use and take a lot more resources.

The regular or balloon is actual the same, only an option on how to show them. And in some situation a balloon is better.
Specially for tooltips for button.

actually.. if Balloon is disabled in the system. Then it should use regular. so there might be a bug there.

I know the selections is a bit off. But it is like this because of a compromise to be able to get a configuration that is similar (but not exactly) as Windows Explorer.
Both checkboxes for Windows Styled selection must be checked to get the full Windows Explorer styled checking. They will probably be replaced with just one checkbox in the future. because they depend on each other. 

They are two now because for Commander styled setup. You can now check the first, to be able to group (shift+click) selection, (kind of)
(But ctrl+click will not work as expected and so. ) And at the same time keep the same mouse and selection config for commander styled.

To enable "explorer mode" it is best to use the Quick Look''nFeel setup.
( Menu > Quick Look'n'Feel Setup -> Windows Explorer Compatibiliy Look'n'Feel)
Because to get everything to work like as windows explorer, More options need to be changed then the two under "Windows Explorer styled selection", Windows explorer also handled mouse differently.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Inverted cursor (Focus Rectangle)

« on: October 05, 2011, 21:18:06 »

Think I need a better way to export/import colors

but if you edit your zFileManager.xml file. (back the old before.  just in case)

Replace text below with similar text in the file. . it is located in the beginning of the file after the <colors> tag.

Code: [Select]

<backgroundhighlight value="0" color="ffffea"/>
    <override_windows_bg value="1">
      <alternating value="0"/>
      <active color="034323"/>
      <active_alt color="fefada"/>
      <inactive color="00005e"/>
      <inactive_alt color="cbfecb"/>
    </override_windows_bg>
    <item_specific_bg_color value="0">
      <use_files_bg value="1"/>
      <use_folders_bg value="1"/>
    </item_specific_bg_color>
    <focusrect value="388e8e"/>
    <files>
      <normal foreground="e4fa46" background="-1"/>
      <focus foreground="044e29" background="ffffff"/>
      <selected foreground="e4fa46" background="-1"/>
      <checked foreground="f38363" background="-1"/>
      <checkedfocus foreground="df3f11" background="ffffff"/>
    </files>
    <folders>
      <normal foreground="e4fa46" background="-1"/>
      <focus foreground="044e29" background="ffffff"/>
      <selected foreground="e4fa46" background="-1"/>
      <checked foreground="f38363" background="-1"/>
      <checkedfocus foreground="f38363" background="ffffff"/>
    </folders>

You might need to tweak the color a bit.. ther the major part of what you want is done.. I think..

I Think it is possible to configure it so it will be like that.

Make sure "use file specified background colors" (and for folders too) are checked..
Then when customizing the the colors you will override the default background.

and you can configure the color for "Focus" and "Checked and in focus" to be inverted from what normal is.

Support and Feedback / Re: Real focus rectangle colour differs from the one in options

« on: October 05, 2011, 20:57:05 »

I know..

The problem is that when windows is drawing a focus rect, it draws it in a way, so the color that is set does not match.  And I haven't wanted to spent time fixing it, I been pushing it down the list. Another stuff got more important to fix.

Might be fix in the future.. maybe..

The option button bug, is already fixed and will be available in the coming beta.

The open file dialog should not be able to get behind the editor. That is strange. I will take a look at that.

I will see if I can resize the dialog so it fit.

When you done and if you want. You can send me the translations files, you create a zip of them by clicking on the export button in the editor.

Support and Feedback / Re: Menu "Help->Go to...->Config folder" opens application folder

« on: October 04, 2011, 17:29:59 »

It depends on how it is installed. or if running from portable device.

Normally configuration is located under the personal appdata folder

( eg win7 -> "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\"  )

But if running from portable device. Then we do not want to store the configuration on the host computer, so then everything is saved under the application folder.

Support and Feedback / Re: How do I change the copy strategy permanently?

« on: September 29, 2011, 21:23:39 »

Copy to USB is tricky.
USB Memory stick devices work better if the buffer chunks are very big.. but copying to Harddrive connected to USB works better if buffer chunks are smaller.

I haven't been able to detect if a device is a USB Memory type of device or harddrive in a consistent way.

I did some testing and I looks like the preset does not save the RW Strategy even if that checkbox is checked.
That is a bug. I will fix that asap so that will be fixed in the next beta.

Save as default is not saving the r/w strategy selection.

Creating a preset that autoload on all path might be a solution.

Select a strategy that is you have configured and save with the settings you want.
Then in Presets. Create a new and only check "read / write strategy" (uncheck everything else)
Under the "Autoload this preset if target path is..." add "*"
and then save it.

Now that preset will autoload on all paths and set that r/w strategy.

( or changing all the strategies to the same settings. )

Sorry for not answering. I totally missed that post.

There are a couple of ways

Hotpath (Right click on field showing current path) this paths can also be accessed with ctrl+<num>

You can also a change path using 'user commands' and add that command to the button panel, or Menu. or assign a shortcut to it, or assingn an aliases to it.

You can also create aliases that expands into a full path.  So if you enter a word in the commandline field. that word will then expand to a full path and it will then go there.


A more unified are batter ways are planed for the future.
