Support and Feedback / Re: Find Files finds nothing when invoked a second time with a different search

« on: September 29, 2023, 11:13:43 »

Try using wildcards when searching... for example

*filename*

took me a while to figure that out

Hmm Tried many different way.. don't fail for me.. .strange.. I will add some more logging to the search process so for next beta.. So then you can enable debug logging and we can see what happens

Support and Feedback / Re: Cannot drag and drop emails from foxmail

« on: September 20, 2023, 12:52:04 »

No idea what foxmail is or what it does.. But MC support most drag'n'drop formats.. Don't know what special thing foxmail does that make it not work in MC.. that is strange..
Might be that it is its own special drop format and that they install a extension to windows for it to handle it..

I'm not able to reproduce that.. Can you describe step by step on how to reproduce that
Also look in the FileOperations log (Ctrl+L)  there you see what search rules it uses and where it searches

MC do not have its own regex engine. it is using the reqex engine that is included in C++. the option for the regex engine is set to be ECMA, but I don't know if they are any exception or if you need to write in other way.  What it support and not, I don't know. I got it to work with most pattern I tried but Im no regex expert. I don't understand what your are trying to so with the regex

Support and Feedback / Re: Slow speed transfer !!

« on: September 06, 2023, 17:00:14 »

As you see from the MC dialog it is the write speed that is slowing down the process.. Read speed is almost 300mb/s, Windows only show you the averge speed of something, probaboly a combination of both the read and write..

Why you got slow write speed is very hard to say. There are so many layers that the data goes via before they are written that can affect speed.
If you expand the 'copy to ' under advanced you got read/write stratergy,  there you can tweak buffers and chunksizes and if caches should be used or not.
security software may also cause issue, Some do not like unknown application doing file transfer and will do extra scanning of them.

Support and Feedback / Re: How to prevent folders from opening when dragging a file

« on: August 31, 2023, 07:56:06 »

Hi Mathias, unfortunately this is impossible for me. I have only one arm.
Too bad!

How is it impossible to NOT hold alt key. you do not to do anything extra for that ?
You wanted to avoid going into subfolders. it only does that if you hold alt key pressed..

I would suggest to skip mouse entirely and only use keyboard.. you can do almost everything faster with keyboard with commander styled setup.. (optimized for kb) and then you only need one hand..

Support and Feedback / Re: Wrong calculation of size after adding files/folders to the queue

« on: August 28, 2023, 11:43:00 »

Not been able to repoduce that. File size is check when queued.. If the filesize changes between then and when file is copied, the actual size copied then can be large then expected.

« on: August 28, 2023, 11:31:33 »

That is correct. But unfortunately not in the Explorer window.

In the explorer panel windows (filelist part). The folder you hover over is not auto opened unless you hold ALT key.

« on: August 25, 2023, 18:36:31 »

Just don't enable preview..  Preview has to be enabled to be shown.. (Alt+Q / Shift+Alt+Q), so if you do not enable it. it will not show it

« on: August 24, 2023, 18:04:13 »

Just press F5/F2 (force refresh)(depending on setup) and it fix it self.. This is an display error only.
It happens very rarly in special situation, often if the filesystem updating a lot at the same time that MC is doing something..  Never been able to recreate it.

Support and Feedback / Re: User Defined Command to go into sub-directory.

« on: August 22, 2023, 19:58:45 »

There are two way depending on how good error handling you want..

1.
You can in the command line field type "cd temp\myfolder" and it will take you to "<currentpath>\temp\myfolder"

But instead of typing that in the commandline field you can automate that with a "Custom Commands" type Command..

Code: [Select]

MC.CmdLineRun CMD="cd Temp\myfolder"

However if path "mtemp\yfolder" does not exists, but temp\ exists, it will go into temp\ anyway.. there is no check if path exists.

2. User defined command of "MultiScript" type

Code: [Select]

@var $currentPath = GetSourcePath();
@var $newPath = $currentPath ^ "Temp\\MyFolder1"

if( FileExists($newPath) == 2 )
{
 MC.Explorer.Goto PATH="{$newPath}" SOURCE
}It will only go to the path if the path exists, else it does nothing.

Support and Feedback / Re: Can I stop horizontal scrolling?

« on: August 09, 2023, 10:07:52 »

Hello everyone

I'm quite a newbie to Multi commander.

I like Multi Commander very much but there's one thing that's a bit annoying for me: The horizontal crolling in the folder tree window.

When I try to drag and drop a file to another folder the folder tree scrolls to the right. Sometimes the folder names become unreadable, especially with short folder names. They are simply scrolled away to the left.

Can I stop the horizontal scrolling and how can I do this?

Thank you for your help!

Thomas

I'm not able to recreate this. If you while dragging in folder tree have mouse cursor at the begining / end of the line it will also scroll that way..

Support and Feedback / Re: Optimization in List view

« on: July 31, 2023, 22:47:28 »

Okay, I thought I'd suggest that by default, in Details view, the left and right keyboard arrows would behave like PageUp and PageDown.
Doesn't that make more sense?

I think it makes more more sense to just press page up and page down.
L/R arrow keys are used in some setup for other things, like enter folders , send folder to other panel.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Better configuration of languages

« on: July 31, 2023, 09:25:03 »

it is generated by the build system.
Removing language files your self and have it automatically update that file is not support.
You have to update that file also your self. But as soon as MC updates, it will overwrite it and you also get the new languages files.
All language files are only 1.6MB

What du you want to do with left/right in detailed list mode ?  Arrow left/right works.. But by default maybe not what you want them to work. You can customize it.
