Support and Feedback / Re: Regex matches in MR

« on: April 02, 2025, 13:40:19 »

For me, both scenarios work.
But be careful with #2. If you enter Find and Replace editor (by pressing [...] button), it will corrupt your "|"-separated group as long as it itself uses "|" as a Find-Replace separator

It would be very helpful (for me). Maybe with the adjustable depth.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Add shortcut for Find Previous in MultiDataViewer

« on: March 03, 2025, 09:08:36 »

Shift+F3 seems to be the standard for "Find previous" action. Please add it to the MDV.

Support and Feedback / [Issue] MultiDataViewer: Find next only works at second try after Find Previous

« on: March 03, 2025, 09:04:24 »

1. Find some text (which occurs multiple times) in a file
2. Find next several times
3. Now Find Previous.

Result: selection immediately jumps to the previous result

4. Now Find next

Result: nothing happens

5. Find next again

Result: now selection jumps to the next result

Support and Feedback / [Issue] Unable to go to the root of virtual device/folder in the file list

« on: March 02, 2025, 09:35:39 »

I'm unable to go to the root of virtual device/folder in the file list. Look at the pics attached. If I press ENTER or double click on the [..] item, nothing happens. So for the "Portable" I can't return to the "WPD:\LG Wine Smart", and for the "Registry" -- to the "REG:\HKEY_USERS"

However, "Go to root" action (button or shortcut) works. MC v15.1.3074 x64 Portable, Win 11 Pro

Support and Feedback / [Issue] Copy file: unhandled error

« on: February 27, 2025, 16:06:12 »

1. Copy any file to some directory
2. Try to copy the same file to the same directory (using F5)
3. When MC asks what to do (skip/rename/overwrite etc) choose Rename
4. In rename dialog press [Cancel]


Result: error appears or copy dialog stucks for a while (happened only once)

Support and Feedback / [Issue] MultiDataViewer word wrap is broken

« on: February 17, 2025, 20:45:23 »

Just look at the screenshots attached.

1. It wraps when it's unnecessary
2. It doesn't wrap when it's necessary
3. Hyperlinks are wrapped incorrectly: the upper part of the link is highlited and treated as hyperlink while the lower part is excluded from highliting and the actual URL-address.

Support and Feedback / [Issue] MultiDataViewer strips spaces from Find and Highlight patterns

« on: January 30, 2025, 09:07:59 »

Example file:

Code: [Select]

.test test  testtest
Try to find and/or highlight "     test     " (with spaces, without quotes).

P.S. It seems that Copy/Paste shortcuts (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+Ins, Shift+Ins) don't work in teh Find and Highlight fields.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: button panel area

« on: January 23, 2025, 11:47:52 »

Open button editor, then activate MC main window. Now press Ctr[+Shift] and click desired button.
Alternatively, you may enable Wizard Mode, press Ctr[+Shift] and drag'n'drop some file/folder onto desired button.

@wynford
You can create a custom command which activates the left panel, and then launch MC with the command line parameter -AutoRun=[your custom command]

If I get you right, you might need MultiScript function PathGetNamePart

It can be done via MultiScript (at least for some checksum types). The only "problem" is that MC doesn't allow UDC to be used as an action source in File Type setup.

@python,
Did you create that folder manually yourself or it was made automatically by some built-in app? I mean if you manage to find a way to create such "strange" folders, it may give Mathias a clue.

Have you set up MC as the Explorer replacement? As far as I know, it is not officially supported. And using MC in a single-pane mode is not officially recommended as well.

Support and Feedback / Re: MC using wrong app to open multiple files

« on: December 06, 2024, 08:30:40 »

I've configured PDF-XChange as a Launcher (Run/Open), neither viewer nor editor.
When I launch *.pdf from a "normal" panel, some lines appear in the Application Log (Debug/Full)

Code: [Select]

2024-12-06 10:26:39.056 Execute file item : "x:\path\file.pdf"
2024-12-06 10:26:39.076 ShellExecute returned without any error
When I launch *.pdf from RES1:, nothing appears in the Application log.

Support and Feedback / Re: MC using wrong app to open multiple files

« on: December 06, 2024, 06:32:37 »

Some more to add.

1. It seems that the way of launching depends on Explorer tabs type.
E.g. from the RES1: tab my *.pdf files are opened in MS Edge (which is the default app). And from "normal" file tab the same files are opened in configured app (PDF-XChange)

2. If custom config settings are wrong, the file will not be opened from the "normal" file panel. And it's confusing when the default file icon is used. So you see some associated icon, try to launch and nothing happens. I think either the default app should be launched or some kind of notification displayed. Maybe MC should check certain settings at startup and warn a user in a some way.

In the "Search and Replace" panel:

1. Check RegEx option
2. In the left edit field enter "\(\d*\)\s*" (without quotes) leaving the right edit field empty
3. Optionally select Replace only name

Support and Feedback / Re: Issue with file search

« on: November 29, 2024, 20:41:13 »

Ok. I've performed some tests with GUI.

1. c:\temp\22;c:\temp\33 - files are found
2. "c:\temp\22";"c:\temp\33" - files are found
3. "c:\temp\22;c:\temp\33" - files are NOT found

And now the issue is reproducible in pure GUI mode without UDC.

1. Open Find files dialog
2. Enter some findable mask (files must be found for issue to happen)
3. Enter some path
4. Press start.
5. After files are found close the RES tab
6. Close Find files dialog
7. Now change path

Well, maybe not 100%, but almost each time
