Support and Feedback / Re: pack and unpack buttons

« on: February 17, 2023, 08:40:15 »

Is it only the buttons that does not work ?
Do the Pack/Unpack in the Menu ( File > Pack files / File > Unpack Files ) work ?
DO the short cut keys work ?

Is it only the Pack/Unpack button in the toolbar that does not work or is it all the buttons there ?

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: expand the folder tree when double-click the mouse

It should expand even if you just click on it in the tree.
Unless you disabled that option in Explorer Panel settings. Under the "Folder tree" section

You mean from the file properties windows that you get if you select "properties" from the shell context menu (popup menu) ?
That is from Windows. MC have no control over that.  MC just tell Windows to shown the properties Windows for that file.

That are not user config files.. that are the settings template files that are used depending on what quick settings you select.

Type ":goconfig" in the command line field and it will take you to the user config folder (or Help > Go To > Config Folder)

Is the CustomKeymappings.xml file in config updated when you save keys ?

Right click on the ".." folder and you get the context menu for the current location

or you can enable in Explorer Panel settings. under "Mouse Configuration" tab there is a "mouse action option" for showing context menu.
There you can enable that the context menu for parent (current location)  should be shown if click was on blank(empty) area of the row.. (like righthclick was outside of the filename text)

Well you can publish preconfigured configuration that you setup your self to
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\

Or you can publish a special file that make MC read all configuration for other folders

If you want to change the hotkey go to

Configuration > Keyboard customization

Then select module "Explorer Panel" and Category "Module specific commands"
Go down to "Flat filesystem view" and reassign that key to some things that fits you need better and that are not used by something else

Never seen that happen.

Might be that you accidently written something in the dialog so it ended up in some sub/parent folder..
Depends on how you started the copy operation. there are multiple way to do that in mc.

All file operation are logged in fileoperation log (unless you turned that off)
type ":golog" in command line field. and look in the *-FileOperations.log that handled the copy and you see where the files was written to

If you hold shift while click you select an range from where you previous focus are until where you clicked
Holding ctrl and you select separate items.

And if you have commander style setup you just toggle selection right mouse button.. And you can configure how to select a lot in settings.

« on: December 11, 2022, 23:15:19 »

Core Settings > FileSystem Tab
Under Tweaking at the bottom there is a setting named
"Auto refresh file list when detecting external changes" 

Set this to "No auto refresh"

You can also turn of the settings "Refresh tabs when application focus is returned to mc" that is located 2 steps up.

and if you just want to "unwatch a folder" from the folder change monitoring system.. you can use the command
list all   ":FolderMonitor list"
Remove ":FolderMonitor remove <folder>"

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Multiscript StrSplit improve

« on: December 11, 2022, 11:32:15 »

Is Option 2 really needed ? if you enter many delimiters . dont you always want it to split at the position where any of the delimiters are found ? (option 1 ?)

Actually, there may also be 3 option The first char of the delimiter param would be the delimiter (";" in the code above). If not found, then the second one etc. So:
- 1st from the input string disregarding delimiters order
- 1st from the input string regarding delimiters order
- 1st from the delimiter string disregarding input string index

Yes I Know but I find the other case strange. and wonder how useful it really is. adding something just because it can be added is not time well spent.
looking around at split function in other places I find the "Split where the first of ANY of the specified delimiters is found.."  But I can't find any uses for the other options.

Code: [Select]

@var $res = CopyFile("d:\\temp\\abc.txt", "d:\\temp\\1.txt", "NODIALOG") should work.. something must have broken.. I will investigate and see If I can fix that

Support and Feedback / Re: MultiScript: CopyFile - How to copy to the same dir with the new name?

« on: December 10, 2022, 15:04:23 »

I want to copy some file to the same dir with a new name (manually specified, no autorename). But CopyFile function accepts only path as a target param.

Is it somehow possible to achieve the goal? If no, maybe enhance CopyFile with an additional param or implement a new function CloneFile?

That should be able to do that is Script..
So you mean if you set target name like  CopyFile ("C:\NewFile.txt" , C:\MyFile.txt" , "NODIALOG, OVERWRITE_ALL" );
It does not work ?

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Some ideas

« on: December 10, 2022, 14:47:59 »

1) If you have files / folders selected an open MultiRename Window, the selected files are already in the MultiRename window..
Or do you mean some other rename window ?

2)That is actually a limited in Windows..  If you select many files and press enter.. the list of all of them are sent to windows with the command "open" and Windows has a limited on how many it allows to be opened.
I think there is a registry settings for this will change that value.

Put you can create a script for it. that will take a selected file and then run Execute on each of them.. sending X calls to windows. for each selected files

I think I rather add a new split function for it

StrSplitAny($str , ";|." );

Is Option 2 really needed ? if you enter many delimiters . dont you always want it to split at the position where any of the delimiters are found ? (option 1 ?)

So......  I'm guessing no non-overlapping SaR using script or MS rename tools is possible then... 

I don't know.

I don't understand what you are doing. So I can't setup a test to test it.

Most keys are customizable in the main app. But it is too much work to make every key in every dialog customizable..

Ctrl+F.. and Ctrl+N or only in the Favorites Windows.
alt+backspace open the favorites window
