Support and Feedback / Re: mouse file select / activate

« on: December 05, 2012, 12:31:34 »

#1: Cursor is on FileA (No other files Selected)
----| Ctrl+Click on FileB
Result ------> FileB is selected.
Expected --> FileA & FileB are selected.

Im not able to make this happen. I turned on Window Style mouse/key in Quick Look'n'Feel Setup. No other customization.
Maybe you have tweaked some other settings that makes it break ?

#2: Cursor is on FileA
----| Ctrl+Click on FileA
Result #1--> Inline-Rename activated.
Result #2--> File is selected/deselected (after you move the mouse)
Result #3--> Nothing Happens.
Expected --> FileA selection toggles (without moving the mouse)

That is because the rename action is configured to click and wait.
Maybe can be tweaked a bit to not fire command if ctrl is pressed. However. for some actions you might want that.

#3: Selection of Files via Left-Click Box-Drag
----| Behaviour appears to be consistent with #2.
Normal Select/Deselect with quirks if the cursor is on the file that you Ctrl+Click.

Same issue. Action fire on click and wait.

#4: Selection of Files via RButton Click, or RButton Drag
----| Behaviour here is the most inconsistent.

Ctrl|Shift + Click & LButton Box-Drag seems to be a different type of selection than RButton.

It appears to take at least two Ctrl+Click's to deselect a file that was selected via RButton.

Im not able to recreate that. Might be because of some conflicting settings.

When running Windows Explorer Styled mouse/key setup. It will try to emulate how it works there. But it will never match 100% . The Commander Styled mouse/key setup has priority and if fixing something in WE Style would break something in Commander Style. then it will not be changed.
It might be possible to tweak the mouse configuration in settings to make it work better.

But I will check the issue you listed and see if they can be fixed.

Support and Feedback / Re: Quick Search ( Match from Beginning of Filename )

« on: December 05, 2012, 11:47:07 »

1) If you set Quick Search to match from the beginning of the FileName, there doesn't appear to be a way to:
---> Use an asterix (*) wildcard to allow the search to match any characters in the beginning.

The QuickSearch popup window does not allow any wildcards.
You can in option specify if it should match from beginning of file or use substring matching.
( Explorer Panel Settings > Display (Tab) > Keyboard handling > Quick Search > "Search for text parts anywhere in the file/folder name"

2) There doesn't appear to be a way to activate Quick Search via a Command/Button.

You mean so that you can assign it to a button or another hotkey ? Hmm that might actually be useful, I will investigate and see if it is possible.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: midfilenamequick search

« on: December 05, 2012, 11:42:01 »

wildcard search was available before too

I don't see any way to use wildcard in quicksearch field.

Why not? An asterix (wildcard) '*' and question mark '?' are not allowed in file or folder names. So if it they were used in the Quick Search field, they could easily represent what they do almost every where else, all the way from GLOB matching, basic CMD.exe|Batch and many other editing-type applications use '*' and '?'.

I been thinking about maybe adding wildcard support.. However it would require a bit of redesign. So Im not sure If Im up for that.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Regex (Regular Expression) in Quick Search, Quick Filter

« on: December 05, 2012, 11:36:12 »

I have planes to support RegEx in the View Filter field. 
But also the selection window will get regex support so you can select files using regexp (wildcard is supported there today)
But regexp will probably not be added to the quick search popup window.

Support and Feedback / Re: MC in loop if Internet connection is not active

« on: December 04, 2012, 11:55:39 »

Strange.. MC only checks if a new version exists at startup once. If if that failes it does not try again.
You can turn that off in core settings.

Yes

Support and Feedback / Re: delete progress dialog

No. Delete uses its own delete dialog. and Copy/Move uses it own.
Unless you select delete from shell context menu

Support and Feedback / Re: What does FocusRect color do?

« on: November 29, 2012, 21:02:12 »

It is the color of the focus frame. But since the frame is drawn in a xor like way. the color is kind of blended with the color of the background. so it will never match exactly

Support and Feedback / Re: MC install path

« on: November 29, 2012, 17:30:53 »

Relative path might works ?

Code: [Select]

WScript ${mcinstallpath}..\FreefileSync\HideConsole.vbs ${mcinstallpath}..\FreefileSync\Compare.cmd "${leftpath}" "${rightpath}"

« on: November 29, 2012, 17:25:34 »

It depends on how far into the future you look. I have a lot planed. But there is no public list, But v2.8 (that already should have been out, but was delayed) will have a public beta soon.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Thousands separators in both status bar (format file size).

« on: November 29, 2012, 07:23:40 »

The status bar shows 2 556 600. Try to add the point separators, so will be more clear 2.556.600. Like
the sizes in columns.

I put it on the list.

Why that differences?

Not everything has a reason..

Because it will not fit the new design. and the design must be change to be able to support feature that are coming.

Support and Feedback / Re: resize filter rectangle

« on: November 27, 2012, 13:09:14 »

I think I will put it on my list. would be nice if it would auto grow. However it is not a top prio item

3567

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: more than one hotkey

« on: November 27, 2012, 13:07:57 »

I would like to have direct support for it. But the problem is that a internal redesign is needed if multiple hotkeys should be supported. (And also a redesign on how the hotkey customization window looks and works)  And since my time is a bit limited I think that the workaround is good enough for now.

Support and Feedback / Re: resize filter rectangle

« on: November 27, 2012, 11:46:14 »

no I do not think it will not possible to configure width of the view filter field, It would be to much micro configuration. There is already way too much configuration.
Maybe auto resizable. so that is will grow if typing to much in it. However that is not a quick fix.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: String 'Remaining time' in progress bar...

Not sure if that is going to change. But the entire progress window is planed to be redesign.. (maybe)

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: another drives list

« on: November 27, 2012, 11:18:17 »

Not sure that have a virtual top level like MyComputer is the best.It will mess with other features and a lot of workaround for those issues need to be added.
But an alternative to the device drop down list is on my list. If I ever got the time to implement it

Not sure what you are referring to.. Buy I would guess that it can not.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: more than one hotkey

« on: November 27, 2012, 10:00:32 »

Correct. Multiple hotkeys for the same command is not supported.
But there is a workaround. Create a User defined command of type "Internal Command" and pick the command you want and then save that command and then add a hotkey for this new command (that will call an existing command)

3574

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: not <DIR>

« on: November 27, 2012, 09:57:16 »

Type text for "..." maybe.. Will add it to the list atleast.

Safe. Yes BUT you will loose you changes when updating since the auto update will replace the language files. But you can backup and restore language sets in the language editor.
