buffer overflow you see there are normal. it is not the bad kind.
But If you saved the log you can upload it and I can take a look.

From the log I can see that first call to windows to write the data fails. So windows allows the file to be open for writing but when it starts to write data to the file it does not like it.  Something is stopping it from writing the data. This is not normal.  The internal error code is not shown in the log. And it is not one of the standard errors.
I will add the internal windows error code to the log in the next beta.
But if you are handy you can see it using Process Monitor, But that tool is not easy to use.

But why Windows does not allow the file data to be written is strange.
The question remains.. what is unique on the few systems that have this issue ?

No, The log does not contains the extended debug information .
You can enable the filesystem log and set log level to debug level in MC  under  Core settings -> Logging (tab) that might give more information on what fails.

If you do not want to post it you can send it to me at http://multicommander.com/upload/

I have a similar problem, also giving error 4000

Problem occurs only when using M.C., not in Total commander or Win Explorer.
Copying any file(s) to a external HDD (USB) giving the error.
File can be a txt file or movie files, just anything, and the problem occurs.

Did already format it twice, without any result; when I read this post, I tried Total Commander... no problem.
System is a Medion P7300/Win7.

Screenshots:

The other user had it only on files in folders called VIDEO_TS so not exactly the same issue.
The question is what is different about your system and your setup and everybody else that has no problem.
So far nobody have been able to figure that out.

log files are better then screen shots because there are many many different reasons why this can happen.

3) Ahh you want to CREATE a checksum file that has references to files in subfolders.. Well that is not supported since the .sfv /.md5 file formats does not really support that.
And it would break compatibility with other programs.
But I have been think about an option to allow that to be overridden.

Support and Feedback / Re: A couple of questions with the new version

« on: September 19, 2013, 10:55:06 »

I have just updated to the latest version and I thought I would ask a couple of questions that have puzzled me.

1) I have a number of 'cloud drives' and previously only SkyDrive was showing in the toolbar, now not even that shows up. I have checked the options to have them displayed. Is there something else that has to be done? They all show in explorer without problem.

This is fixed in the newest beta.. build 1508

2) Is there a setting to unselect a group of files after an operation has been performed on them? ie. If I select some files and do a Checksum on them, there is no need to keep them selected.

Not automatically. Since checksum is a tools plugin it just acts on all selected files. It can not modify them. But I add it to the list and see if something can be added,
Workaround is to press Ctrl+D..

3) I would like to select all the files within a directory tree and perform a Checksum on them and include the folder structure in the resulting file report. Could this be possible? Maybe I will have to create some scripts?

Just drag the folder over to the checksum panel. and it will add all .md5/sfv files it finds recursively.

4) The way the name of the Checksum report is named is strange. Although multiple files may be selected, the resulting file is always called after the top file in the selection. Why not just name it "report" or name it with time/date?

You mean the filename of the checksum file. md5 / .sfv ?
When having multiple files the checksum file is named after the first because it does not know what to select. Normally when having 1 file you want to have it named after the file.
But maybe an option on how it should generate the name if multiple is selected can be added.

The strange thing is that MC does not have any code in it to block files being written to folder with special name. If files are being block it is out of the control of MC.  also everybody should then have that problem. Something external must be interfering with the writing. Any why it only affect MC I don't know. might be because multicommander.exe is not "digitally signed" and the thing that blocks therefore does not trust it and thats why it blocks it. I don't know, never seen that behavior before.. very strange.

I do not think the problem is in MC (except to handle the error better) since it will not block files, the blocking is outside of MC.

Strange..

So if you create a new empty folder next to the VIDEO_TS folder and copy the file to that folder it works ?

Sound like you got something that block the writing of files. like AntiVirus or something else like that, But why AV program would block writing into a VIDEO_TS folder I do not know. Might be some other kind of program that blocks it.

I did some googling and there are virus that hide them self as VIDEO_TS.exe so maybe your AV software get confused ?

The file copy fails directly when trying to write.  0 bytes was copied before the error 4000 is shown.
It is strange that the internal error code is not shown there. I can not see if it failed to read the file or if it failed to write to the target file.

Lets to a test.

Test if you can to view the file with the extension *.BUP in the video subfolder with the internal viewer. (F3 or F1 depending on Keysetup).
(You will see lots of binary text and garbage I think. But it is a test to see if it is possible to read the data in the file)

Also can you write another (any other) file to the same location as your are trying to copy to ? (Test if it really works to write files to that location)

Strange.  Im not able to recreate it.. Error 4000 happens because it tries to do something that the device did not like or support, exactly what is impossible to say

You can enable the filesystem log and set log level to debug level in MC  under  Core settings -> Logging (tab) that might give more information on what fails.

Ok, then the second is probably because of the unhanded error of the first.

Are there any thing special with the copy operation that is aborted. ?  network ?, ftp ?, archive ? NAS, same drives or copy to different drives , or other information that can be valid.

Error 4000 is that an unknown error happened that it did not know how to handle.

"Unexpected Error. Write Thread..." message is because of a timing issue that happen on some machines under very rare conditions.

Are the "Error 4000" and "Unexpected Error , Write Thread..." message always shown after each other ?

What version are you running ?

Thank you very much for your message. The processor is a 1,67 gigahertz AMD Athlon XP.

According to wikipedia Athlon XP should have SSE instructions.. It might be that the BIOS need to enable it or something.

Tips and Tricks / Re: SEARCHING with Multi Commander

« on: September 07, 2013, 14:48:49 »

you can loop all args and build up the query string. I do not know how wikipedia want to have the url but something like

Code: [Select]

@var $query = "";
@var $n = 0;
for( $n = 0; $n < $argcount; $n++ )
{
   if( $n > 0 )
   {
     // Add delimiter for every search word, depends on the website..
      $query = $query + "+";
   }
   $query = $query + $arg($n);
}
$url = "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=" + $query;

You might have to experiment a bit to get it right.

Similar problem. I have uploaded the MCCrash.dmp file.

The crash is very low level. It happens because MC trying to use a CPU instruction that does not exists in your cpu.
So I guess the cpu in your machine is very very old. Do you know what CPU you have ?
I guess it does not support SSE

Tips and Tricks / Re: SEARCHING with Multi Commander

« on: September 07, 2013, 13:21:45 »

I don't think you can do that with alias. Because alias replace one command with another. And the parameters that is sent to the alias is sent as parameters to the replaced part. And since it is sent as a parameter there will be an extra space between the url and the parameter and that will not work.

But you can do it using script.

Create a UserDefinedCommand of MultiScript type that looks like this

Code: [Select]

@var $url = "";
$url = "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=" + $arg(0);
MC.Run CMD="{$url}" SHELL
When you save the script, the script will get a unique ID. (You see that id in the upper right location in the User commands dialog..
lets say it gets the id 77bbd54dec4b412589de6ea89b5d76c2  (You will get a totally different id)

Then in the alias editor you create an alias that calls that script by making "w" be an alias for "@77bbd54dec4b412589de6ea89b5d76c2"
( @ followed by the command id )

Now you can type "w cat" in the command line field

You probably did something that triggered so that the cache got invalidated and rescan of the zip file. And while unpacking the unpack process does not allow any other to mess with the archive while it has it. Because it can leads to strange errors.

Not sure. I have not seen it. But it might depend on the archive and the size of it. and how it is unpacked.
(Unpack of archive from menu, Copy using unpack plugin, browse into and select and unpack. or other way.. there are many way to start a unpack.)

Did you force a refresh of the archive while unpacking ?

I think it is because the zip is locked. because something else is using it.

Thank you! Working.
Why is the default sort by name? Polling for users?
I think it is more convenient sorting by type.

Because sorting by name is most common and there can not be an option for everything. There is already to many options.

There are also shortcuts for changing sort col, Ctrl+F1 for first column, Ctrl+F2 for second and so on.
