Support and Feedback / Re: Can't get MC.Filesystem.Delete to work

« on: July 30, 2022, 16:49:13 »

Well thanks for the fun Mathias! 
You got me twice,
1. because I was using the earlier release without the updated function
2. it killed <20 files it found in the directory above the focused one.

No problem as I was able to recover them.  Only lost a zip with all my crypto-currency addresses, but what's $1.6m between friends....    
 ...A few more tests will be needed I think!

1. first version was missing some logging that was not included in the release. I also improved how it handled filters and if the path is pointing to file instead and folder..

2. USE_CURRENT_SOURCEITEM take the item that are in focus from the panel that are in focus (source panel). but it is important that the correct panel is active.. so it picks correct.
it should not pick a folder above.. it picks the one that is on focus. that the line marker is on..

Hmm Might be to dangerous function to allow delete so easy. Maybe should require a confirmation box. ?  maybe a "Do you really want to delete : <folder> ?" box ?, but the idea with script it to not have them..

Thanks for trying to make this function work Mathias.
I have just attempted to use this command.
I get Failed to volume item whenever I use it.
I've tried :-

Code: [Select]

MC.Filesystem.Delete USE_CURRENT_SOURCEITEM FILTER="*.zip; *.rar"
MC.Filesystem.Delete USE_CURRENT_SOURCEITEM "*.zip; *.rar"
MC.Filesystem.Delete USE_CURRENT_SOURCEITEM="*.zip; *.rar"
It does appear to try to action the command, but even with files selected doesn't like something & always gives that error. 

I have this

E:\Test\Test and in that folder I have

testfile.png
testfile.rar
testfile.zip

I'm showing the content of E:\test and focus in on 'test' folder ( E:\test\test )

I run the command
and it deleted all files in text except the *.png file.

It is the first alternative. filter must be set to the "FILTER" option and the item in focus must be a folder.
Where is the files located ? normal harddrive ?  or a virtual path ?

I took a quick look and it was almost working. But I changed it a bit

So in next beta release this should work.

However if you do not specify a PATH you must specify a USE_CURRENT_SOURCEITEM parameter instead, this will take current source item that are in focus and use as PATH.
It was prone to accidental delete of files without specifying that you really want to do that.
Delete to recycle bin are not yet support and will have to wait. So it is still a bit risky to use since you get no UI or confirmation with the MC.FileSystem. methods. They go directly to the filesystem layer.
MC.Explorer.Delete access Delete via the UI layer. and you can see UI.

Application Log and FileOperation Log will output error and what is deleted.

Yes
MC.Filesystem.Delete is disabled. It had some issue.
Also the Filter option was removed.. The Normal Delete dialog had a filter box. but there are so many situation where it did not works well. so it was removed.. Might be why MC.Filesystem.Delete was disabled.
It was long time ago.. lots have happen since then. I will put it on my list and see if it is possible to add it again

Support and Feedback / Re: Last Folder Row Thumbnail List Filename Doesn't Fit+Hover Preview Broken Recentl

« on: July 25, 2022, 22:11:38 »

1. Not able to recreate that, Might be multiple configuration you done that work against each other or something.

2.Hover preview should work. If you got issue with hover preview use the Beta section and post a report there what is happening and what you do and in what situation it does not work

1. > It was due to a WindowBlinds skin I was using, I switched to another skin & now it's fixed, I can view the last-row filename —it isn't clipped anymore.

2. > Hover Preview is working again —I went into Preview Customization & had to move Default to the bottom of the list so Pictures was the first —works properly now ! I must've tampered with the settings by mistake.

Strange.. Order should not matter for profile that are checked as default.

Counter is sometimes - not always! - wrong
Moved 4 files...

Also sometimes a problem with encrypted rar archives. Could this be a behaviour of an older unrar.dll?
After enter the password - the password dialog is back again or got an empty window.
Open with Winrar all is fine.

I know.. it adds one extra when it finish up.

rar problem. Not able to recreate any problems with that.  external unrar.dll not used.. but using same code.  might be issues with the code or not.. I don't know, since I can't reproduce it.

It can be anything from HW error outside MC control to something else..
Look in FileOperation Log (Ctrl+L), There should be more information with external error code too if it is a error from Windows.

Not sure. You have a locked that that allows for new tabs when browsing to subfolder ?

In what situation are new tabs coming ?  Are they poping up when the tabs is refreshed. when you navigate to somethings ?

Multi Rename by using the Date mdified use  maybe the GMT..This mean it use the absolute Date and sould use the relative date for my time zone..

Not GMT but UTC,  All file times are UTC from the Filesystem.  So some UTC to Local conversion that are missing. I will look into that..

Hi, there is some issue with refresh of folders view on MC start in newest beta 2888.

When I start MC there are no folder icons, see picture 1. After for example refresh or go in and out to any folder, folder icons are refreshed picture 2.

There is still some bug with showing correct keyboard shortcut for rename F2 and make folder F7 command - picture 3. Anyway shortcuts are working OK, only visualisation is wrong.

Yes the icon things is a race condtion that can happen if things are fast and there are multiple icons requests at the same time.. I got it on my list of bugs for this release

Button Panel. Yes it is a refresh issue I think. If you have modifiers for button panel active so they change when pressing ctrl / alt then they are after that redrawn correct.

« on: July 07, 2022, 22:37:10 »

Yes, makes sense.

About the "Time elapsed" thing, though? It's not an important information, but if it is so much off the real numbers then it kind of hurts more than it helps.

Not sure, Have not notice any issue with that

I deleted the registry key and had MC create a new one. Did not help. What I see is that the focus=1 values moves correctly between panel 0 and 1 depending on how I close MC. But regardless of where the registry value is currently stored, MC still defaults to the right panel on startup, so the registry entry seems to be ignored.

PS: When I close all tabs on the right panel then MC defaults to the left panel at startup, even when I had the empty right panel active. But as soon as I create a new tab on the right panel it reverts to activate the right panel on startup.

Then I don't know. I can't recreate that

My settings default to loading the last used tab session. But even when I change it to "do not autoload any tab session" the startup focus stays on the right panel.

Then I don't know. It should work.  I can't make it not work.

What tabs to autoload is stored here
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MultiCommander\SessionHistory\a4c2985d9c7e4035a3221cfd600171d0\AutoLoad\

only one of them should have FOCUS=1, and that tab should be set to focus.. Unless you have something else like session that overrides that or from command line

If you are coping massive amount of small files and show the queue.. Then a lot of CPU time will be used to update the UI.
And if you copy lots of small files the OS will spend a lot of extra time on other things

Since MC is not build on top of Windows Shell, MC filter out network items that are not file shares.

Makes sense. The other file-managers open the browser for web-access to the network devices, which can be useful. But filtering for SMB shares likely is closer to what a file-manager is meant to do.

Auto is the tab side that was in focus when application exited last time.

I even tried File -> Exit (popup asking for confirmation) instead of using the upper right X button, same results, keeps default to right panel. Additionally I tried to limit MC to a single instance and disabled StartAllBack (which modifies the taskbar and Explorer), no dice.

Is there any more setting that I might check for this? I can live with using the "Left" setting, but to me this looks like a bug.

If you start with a TabSession that autoloads it can have configuration for what tab to activate and will override any other setting.

None of this are related new things in the beta. so moving topic

Thanks for the quick reply and moving to the proper section.

That is a settings. Explorer Panel settings. Look at "save on exit" section, there is a option if network devices should be rememberd

Turns out that the option works the other way around. By default it is set to "remember only path to local harddrive". I turned that off now.

Windows Network stuff are a mess.. MC have very little contorol. there 3 methods and you can switch between them

I get that and found a working setting after trying out all three of them. But it is noteworthy that other file-managers manage to display Windows network devices using default settings (usually not configurable anyway). And compared to MC they display and work with *all* my network devices, not just the SMB share.



Personally I don't need this often (if at all), because I can either use mapped drives or enter the IP directly. But it may be something to look into again?

The focus at startup works for me.. Maybe fails becuase of issue 1..

I tried with local and with network devices, different folders and same folders, exiting MC with the left or the right panel in focus. MC always defaults to the right panel when I open it using the "Auto" option. I don't know what "Auto" bases its decision on, though. For the time being I will use "Left", because I am more used to defaulting to the left panel.

Since MC is not build on top of Windows Shell, MC filter out network items that are not file shares.

Auto is the tab side that was in focus when application exited last time.

Zip is an OLD format that does not support enchanded characters..

Go to
Menu > Configuration > Filesystem Plugin System > FS-Zip Settings

Check "Encode filename using UTF-8"  most unpackers support this Zip Extension.
