Find dialog -
can I force more or less view on open?
Most often I search inside files so having the dialog open in 'more' status would save me a click. 

Multi-rename -
how do I exclude the .ext from edit?
e.g.
If I have a SAR a with b on abc.avi I get bbc.bvi

Assume I'm doing something wrong.... 

A) No..  (But will change so it remember last setting )
But there is hotkey ctrl+C to move focus to "File Content" field. problem is that ctrl+C is also copy to clipboard and when dialog first is show focus is in "Look for" field so ctrl+C will not work to change forcus. but pressing tab first to move out of that field work.
So Tab then Ctrl+C and focus in the "File Content" area.
(Hmm Btw, I think Ctrl+X will toggle more/less of the dialog without changing focus)

B) Looks like a case that was missed. I think a new option for the Search / Replace is needed,  something Replace in Name and Ext, Only Name, Only Extension.
Will try to add that to the next release. should be easy.

I might add an option for it. Not sure if it will be for just the tab label or a more common font option that will be used in many places

I tries to load them in correct size first.

If requested size does not exists it will rescale.
And that works a bit different on XP vs Newer OSes.

XP it will load the next image going down in size. and then scale up.
From Vista and above it will try to load bigger image and then scale down.

« on: March 14, 2013, 18:17:52 »

I do not think so.. But you can create a script and assign that script to Arrow Key.

Create a UserDefinedCommand of "Multi-Script" Type

Code: [Select]

@var $path = GetSourceFocusPath();
MC.Explorer.Goto PATH={$path} SOURCE
Save command and assign to Right Arrow key.

Can these have more than 1 row?

Not currently. But they get smaller the more you have.

Can I change the font used?

For the tab label ? or for the text inside the tab ?
Tab label, No it should use the font set as default font for Windows.
Text inside the tab. Depends on what extension is shown in a tab..  If it is a Explorer Panel that is shown, the font inside that can be configured.





Any input appreciated.

Nice..

Like them, Except the "(?)" icon, Not sure it says "rename" for me,

I have not tested, but the icons are only in the size 32x32.. So might looks strange if user are running another size, because then they are auto resized to 16 or 24/48..

Something like:-
[PANEL_131]
Path=I:\Nowhere
Side=R
Cmd=Alt+*

Available settings are

Code: [Select]

Path=<path>
ViewMode=<1..3>
SortCol=<1...>
SortAsc=<1/0>
Side=<L/R>
ShowTree=<1/0>
Locked=<1/0>
AllowSubPathChange=<1/0>

I wondered how to drag & drop folders with media into VLC via a button.  I tried both vlc.exe & the full path c:\....exe but it didn't work.  I based the attached screen on the 'Notepad' button but I just get an invalid path msg when dropping files & folders on the button.

What you written should work. I do not have vlc.exe but for other program it works. (I used full path)
Press Ctrl+L and look at the Application log and see if some error is printed there

I'd like to know if I can do the following :-
*invert selection
*customize (add/remove/edit) top toolbar buttons  (e.g. I would like to add the existing F3 search command/icon to the default top toolbar)
*Alter size & number of the buttons at the foot of the main dialog.
*Run files from the search dialog (i.e. Double click a result & have it run (in its' default handler where req'd))
*Undo (call ctrl+z, or use the MC history log to step backwards)

BTW I like the idea of preview panels at opposite ends of the main dialog, that would be very useful.

* Exists in menu and with hotkey num*
* Main toolbar can not be changed. But it is possible to add own command to the quick launch bars. (the area after the command line field. (and also possible to add an entire new quick launch bar row ))
* The number of buttons in the button panel can be change by manually editing MultiButtons.xml  at the top there is a rows="4" cols=8" items that can be change.
 a settings for that, is coming. so in the future you will not need to manually change that.
* Right now you press return twice.  first time for taking you to the item on the filesystem, a second time for executing it. but a option for it is planed. Got a long list with changes planed for search
* Undo is not support. but is on the todo list. however that is not a small task do add.

Yes preview panel is planed..  I got a lot of things on my list but time is limited.

Commandline commands will expand enviroment variables when run. That why %USERPROFILE% works

There actually is a special commandline command to go to the desktop ":desk"

So you can do

Code: [Select]

MC.CmdLineRun CMD=":desk"
That should work for all languages..

« on: March 12, 2013, 07:12:16 »

the QuickSearch box is only triggered to be shown with the A-Z keys. So I would have guess that none of the cyrillic letters would have worked to show it.
It is on the todo list and might be fixed in next version. Unless I run into some strange encoding issues.

Do not create the command directly on the button. But create a User Defined Command. THEN you can assign that command to different things like HotKeys, Menu , Buttons. and more.

« on: March 10, 2013, 22:05:26 »

The internal command is shown as a dropdown list when you select a command of type "internal commands"

The the description of the "#{b,104} (${Core.1350}" is
#b,104  referee to the Language file..
Core.1350 is the internal command reference. You can see this command in the Keyboard Customization dialog.. 

But that is not anything you going to need to type.

Support and Feedback / Re: Reassign F4 to another (external) editor

« on: March 10, 2013, 21:38:01 »

What you have done is to change that button so it is now calling your custom command, instead of calling the internal Edit command.
You still see F4 on the button because you kept the Button Label (and it reference the internal command).

But if you want to create a own custom command you need to create a User Defined Command first and then assign a key to that command.
If you then what to same command in a button in the button panel you select so that the button is calling the User Defined Command that you created instead of having the entire custom command there.

But...
A more correct way to do that would be do add notepad++ as editor in FileTypeSetup.
Then all edit commands in MC will use this.

It is impossible to say why it does that without more information on how on what kind of drag/drop you do
because drag and drop are messy and it all works different depending on where you drag from and drop to.
for example If the drag is started from another program and then dropped inside MC,  Or if drag is both started and dropped in MC. of started from MC and dropped outside of MC.

Thumbnail view work as it does because it is built from the list mode. It is really the list mode with thumbnails instead.
Building a thumbnail view that worked that other way would require so much work that I do not even want to think about it.

But a Thumbnail detail mode are planed. It is build on Detail mode but with thumbnail (Top->Bottom) one thumb per line with size info and other info the the right of the image.

« on: March 08, 2013, 22:08:58 »

For Win7+ the thumbnails are created by Windows. (If thumbnail engine in core settings is set to Windows, and not internal )
And if you got a thumbnail plugin for windows for pdf.. it should show thumbnails for pdf in MC too.

Internal thumbnail creator for PDF would be nice. But will probably not happen for some time... It would require a lot of work.
And there is way to many more important feature that need to be added first.

You can not. The Quick Launch bar is not a normal toolbar. 
And because of the dynamic behavior of it, all "items" on the bar must be the same size.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: "Copy here" Not possible to "drop" the file in same directory

« on: March 05, 2013, 14:53:33 »

It works different because when you drag / drop in the same window stuff works different.

But this is already on my todo list. But there is not at the top of the list But it is there

btw
Keyboard is faster. Mouse require you to move the hand from the keyboard to your mouse.
Commander styled file managers are made to use from the keyboard first. and mouse second.
Specially all normal operation as navigate, selection,  copy, view and so on.
But if you not familiar with the commander styled key setup and uses Windows Explorer Styled mouse/key setup you will not get that advantage.

Ahh okey

I put it on the list, But since drag/drop is not highest prio it will not be the first thing that is fixed.
And it will only be fixed as long as it does not conflict with normal operations.

« on: March 05, 2013, 13:10:33 »

It is.. But I thought you meant that you selected copy from the right click menu.

If not then MC 'might' do the copy.. depends on if the drag was started from another application or not and what type of drop data that application sent.

to create a dupe of a file in the same location..the easiest way is to do Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V. or File>Copy Quick. ( Shift+F5 , or Shift-F2 for WinEx key setup)
