Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: starting on the left panel

« on: September 23, 2012, 15:08:45 »

Not in an easy way yet. Since all tab are independent instances of an extension/plugin. The one that get the startup focus during startup is the one that get created last.

Until that can be done, there is a workaround for it using script.
You can create a User Defined Command that is automatically run after startup that changes the tab focus.

To auto run a command after startup you need to add the -AutoRun=<command to run> parameter to MultiCommander.exe

Code: [Select]

MultiCommander.exe -AutoRun=AutoRun
And then create a User Defined Command of "CustomCommand" type, That you name "AutoRun" (or what ever name you choose for the -AutoRun= parameter), Then in that command you can write

Code: [Select]

MC.SetActivePanel PANEL=LEFT

another little issue
in preview versions ,right click on file icon or file name in file list both show context (i config it to).
but in 1190 ,only on icon do.right click on file name nothing happend.

I change a bit how some of the mouse actions works. So their might be some bugs their..

I don't really understand how you configured the right click thing.
Can you take a screenshot of the Mouse configuration page and show me. Then I might be able to recreate the issue.
( edit : I found the Issue.  )

yes ,date can be retrieved in 1190.
but date string retrieve is formated to "2012/09/21 13:35:24",this makes file name invalud(because of / and : letter).
still unable to rename with tool.

i can change my system  date format to yyyy-mm-dd and retrieve substring 1 to 10 of date string.but this is too complex.

You can use the 'Search and Replace' to the right in the dialog to remove/replace invalid chars.
For example tell it to replace : with nothing will remove all of them, and you can replace / with -

But there is also a new thing.. You can define a date and time format to use in the tag.
[?ExtendedProp.datemodify-{<dateformat>|<timeformat>}]

examples

Code: [Select]

[?ExtendedProp.datemodify-{yyyy-MM-dd|HHmmss}]
[?ExtendedProp.datemodify-{yyyy-MM-dd|HHmmss},1,5]

// Only show time , Empty date format.. do not forget the | separator before the time format.
[?ExtendedProp.datemodify-{|HHmmss}]

// Only show date
[?ExtendedProp.datemodify-{yyyy-MM-dd}]

Support and Feedback / Re: Bug with displaying Drives toolbar

« on: September 18, 2012, 17:00:09 »

Strange. because all languages works for me.

When it does not work is when switching language because the show/hide status for the toolbars in the registry [1] is stored with the localized toolbar name.

[1] REG:\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MultiCommander\SessionConfig\Toolbars\

Support and Feedback / Re: Unpack with Password

« on: September 18, 2012, 15:15:27 »

Zip archives in MC does not handle password protected files yet. (mostly because the password security in standard zip format are very bad and unsecure )

So I do not understand how you can see a dialog asking for password.. That dialog most be from another program.

Well. It only happens if you change language between restarts.

If you set Russian language. Then restarts. Then hide drive toolbar, Then Restart, They are now still hidden.

Support and Feedback / Re: can MC support flat files view

« on: September 15, 2012, 13:22:18 »

No you can now list content like that.

However you can get almost that behavior by open a search for that folder and search for everything.
The result of the search is shown in a flat way.

Tips and Tricks / Re: Go to Sibling Folder Faster

« on: September 14, 2012, 17:36:41 »

No it should work.  It might not work if you have modified to use pageup/down for something else.

It is also using the same sorting that you currently have and if the next item is not a valid folder, it will not go to it.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: the cursor could follow the mouse (new settings)

« on: September 08, 2012, 11:39:21 »

I open directories and files with a single click, I'm used to it very much.
Sometimes I need to mark one file or directory and do some operation with it, since I open files with a single click, I'm not albe to move the cursor to the file with a mouse in Multi Commander, I have to use up and down keys.

I would like the cursor to follow the mouse cursor - it works in Total Commander, if you check the settings 'Open files and directories with a single click'. Please see attached image.

Don't understand why some whats single click. Don't you accidental starts file or goes into folder ? Nevermind. 

So you want an option to that will make it automatically change what file item that is in focus to the file item that you hover above.?

Support and Feedback / Re: switching tabs with left + right arrows?

« on: September 08, 2012, 11:33:51 »

No, the TAB key can not be reconfigured.

and since arrow keys are also used in many other places there would be lots of conflicts between them.

Support and Feedback / Re: Directory junctions on the server - MC can't go there

« on: September 07, 2012, 10:01:40 »

The problem is that MC will resolve the link and go to the link target. But since the link is located on a network folder this does not work.

I will add a settings so that it can be changed, So that it will follow link instead of resolving them while browsing.

Might also need a setting to only allow that on network drives. Because always following link on local harddrive can result in a very strange behavior and you can end up in a never ending loop, for example if you browse the C:\ProgramData folder on Windows7

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Internal Viewer - WordWrap

« on: September 05, 2012, 21:49:56 »

Actually, if I want to select a text longer than the window, and word-wrap is off, the window do not scroll and I can't select this text.
The issue is for horizontal & vertical scrolling.
This is not the behavior I am used to, from notepad, word, notpead++, etc. Is this an expected & wanted behavior ?

That has not really anything to do with wordwrap.
But will add it to the list anyway.

Add a registry key under 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MultiCommander\
Reg Key/Value  : "HideSplash"  REG_DWORD - value "1"

If you are running the portable version
then edit the file <mc install location>\SessionConfig\Misc\MultiCommander.ini

And add "HideSplash=1" to it

Support and Feedback / Re: Refreshing Units

« on: September 04, 2012, 19:08:01 »

very strange.

Because when F5 (Refresh) is issues, The file system will be rescanned, And it will show the information that is provided by Windows, Why Window is providing invalid content I do not know. Might be because it still has some reference to it so it does not flush it.

I don't know what can cause it to happen and I do not have SD card reader here so I can not test my self.

Support and Feedback / Re: Setting "Standard" Date display format has no effect

« on: September 03, 2012, 21:17:09 »

Ah yes, I can see the difficulty.
(Yes, "Default Date Format For New Tabs" makes it clear, but it would still be more intuitive to find the two settings one beside the other in the tree)

Probably some people will want their individual tab-specific settings to be persistent across app restarts too.

Maybe a new option or two would do it:
 - Apply this setting to:
     o  this tab (yes/no)
     o  other current tabs (yes/no)
     o  future tabs (yes/no)
     Default could be: this tab = yes, other current tabs = no, future tabs = yes

Do not think so.. I would require way to much code changes to make that possible. No, the date format option will probably change in the future to be same for all tabs

Support and Feedback / Re: Setting "Standard" Date display format has no effect

« on: September 03, 2012, 19:15:35 »

Difference between Apply and Save is that Save also close the Settings Page while Apply does not. Allowing you to continue to change settings
 
Date format is probably the only setting that is not applied directly on already opened tab. There is a note about it on the settings page
"Date Display Format (Will not change already open tabs)"

Maybe should say "Default Date Format For New Tabs" ?

And I'm not quite happy my self how it works. So a while a got that setting was change to change all tabs. But a lot of users complained and want the ability to have different format for different tabs and they did not like the new behavior,  So I changed it back.. But I'm considering to change it again to always sync that settings to all tabs.
