Support and Feedback / Re: Folder Tree panel changes size back to default

« on: April 23, 2014, 07:03:20 »

I am using Version 4.2 build 1672 64bit. Folder tree panel open on both sides.
I would like to resize the folder tree panel and have it remain wider than it starts out.

If MC is closed with the folder tree open, it will remember that and it size when opened next time.

When I do click on some folders it randomly goes back to its original width and remains that width
 unless I manually change it again.
Is there a way to lock the width I want it?

I'm not sure how you manage to get the folder tree to resize automatically. Because that is not something it can do.

Also, I created a set of custom columns under "Music". How do I use them?
I cannot enter anything in the "Autoload on filetype" box and the "Auto load on Path"
box will not allow me to add anything.

Autoload of filetype is not activated yet.
For the Autoload on path you enter  the path in the edit field below the list... and then press "Add" to add it to the list.
Check the checkbox if the path you add also should match against subpaths.  Press the X to remove the selected path in the list.

I Know, This is a know issue, it is not a quick fix but will be fixed sometime. (maybe)

It is a side effect of running Windows Explorer styled key and mouse setup.. MC prioritizes Commander styled key/mouse set up, and fixing it in Explorer styled setup would break other things in Commander Styled.

Not able to recreate it.. I suspect that it is timing related issues.  Which can almost be impossible to fix with being able to recreate it

If would have been if everything was hardcoded. But MC is built around a plugin architecture. And every tab is like its own application that is run inside the MC framework. So when you open 4 Explorer Panels you have 4 separate instances of the Explorer Panel running, And normally they do not know anything about each other.

Strange. It works for me
I can't find any reason why it should not work for you..

That tree look really messed up.. you got drives inside V:  not sure how that can happen.

It is kind of by design since the inserted volume is removed.
But it should come back when a new card is inserted.

(You can type :rdrive in the command line field to rebuild the drive lists.)

Support and Feedback / Re: Can't install v4.2.0.1671 x64

« on: April 21, 2014, 09:39:45 »

That is because it was not uninstalled correct and it is still registered inside Windows as a program that is installed
(So it will be shown in "Programs and Features" window where Windows list all installed software. )

Remove the registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MultiCommander

or

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MultiCommander

(depending on what kind of installation you had, Single User or All Users)

If the uninstaller failed it can be because of that.

The uninstaller probably failed because MC was already running (or something else was locking the files), and if MC was running then the installerer can not replace the file.

Make sure MultiCommander is not running and that the uninstaller removed the files in  C:\Program Files\MultiCommander\
Or just use the MultiUpdate to update instead of doing a reinstall..(but if you already uninstalled that program might be removed.)

« on: April 19, 2014, 15:13:24 »

Not sure I completely understand. But you can probably do that using MultiScript.

You got command like GetSourceFocusName() that returns the name of the file in focus. and from that you can extract the client ID. and build a target path that you then send to the MoveFile(...) command.

Do other popup menus work ?

Nothing in the code with the favorites popup menu or the path field have change i in 4.2 or not even in 4.1.

The only way I can make the favorites popup menu go way. is if I change the mouse configuration for "Path Field" and set the action "Right click outside path item" to "No Action"

I can't redo it..
how FTP act depends a lot of how closely the FTP Server follows the standard.  And the problem is that almost all ftp server do not follow the standard correct in some places.  So there often need to be workaround for some servers.

Do you have NOOP (AntiIdle) enabled when connecting  (that is the only own background work that FTP do) ?
Do you know what kind of FTP server you connecting to ?

I'm not able to recreate that problem and don't even understand how the menu does not even show up.
Only reason is if it can't read the config file and it things the action is "do nothing" But even without a config file that should not happen since the default are "do something"..

Whitelist ?  Are you running some kind of sandboxing ?
There are all kind of strange problem with those, I do not use them and do not test using them.

If you run the installed version you can test and see if you get the same issue with the portable version (they use the same binaries. but different default config)

In color settings in Explorer Panel.

Enable "Use File specified background colors" and "Use Folder specified background colors"
then select "Focus" item for file and folder, Disbale "Use Default background" and then set select background to use.

Yes he can do that, And he might get some clues.
However, It is a debug output of internal works. I normally do not advice doing that, because it is a very very technical output and most people will not understand it and will then just copy and paste the log back into here.
And that will most of the time not give me much since that information alone does not say much, The log by it self  is a bit out of context, You often need the log together with other information and other logs.

When files in a folder are changed Windows will notify MC about that. And MC will refresh the file or entire folder if needed. but normally entire folder is not needed. But A rescan should not use a lot of CPU, (Windows even cache it.)

I have no idea how it can use lots of CPU for you, because it can be many many different thing that causes it to be slow.
I'm not able to reproduce it, not even on my old slow machine.

You can try to disable things that are running in the background like not showing icons, not showing overlay icons, make sure you do not view in thumbnail mode. (since thumbnails are fetched in background) , Only show standard columns  (name,ext,size,date,attribute)
If there are a lot of .exe / .dll files in the folder the AntiVirus software might hook in the scan the file before the program can get the program icon.

It must be just you because it is still there. But you must right click on "empty" area.  (Unless you reconfigured in under mouse settings in the Explorer Panel)

Very strange. I'm not able to recreate any of those issues.

But FTP is messy since all FTP Server works different and almost none of them are following the standard correct.
Might be that the FTP server is doing something that makes MC freak out.
What kind of FTP server is it connection do ? Do you connecting using FTP-SSL/TLS ? or normal FTP ?

According to the dump it is not doing anything, it is idle.
not processing icons, not processing extra file properties,

According to the dump there is no high cpu usage at the time the dump was created.

If it comes and goes, then maybe the dump was created just after it went away or something.

Is it only happening after disconnect from FTP ?  how do you disconnect ?. (pressing the disconnect button in the Explorer Panel ? )

The only background work that MC do is fetching file icons and file properties for extended columns (if you have any of them showing) and file coloring
However 3de party shell extension can also hook it self into MC and do stuff.

What you can do is to create a dumpfile when it is happening from task manager and then upload it to http://multicommander.com/upload and I might be able to see what it is doing

Forst of all I'm not familiar with the syntax you're giving me, but I copy and pased it in and it does indeed work as you said - when used alone. Where do I find a complete overview of syntax?

You need to check the "regex" box for it to use regular expression

I do get a problem though, when I try to add size less than 1 MB. Then I get no hit. It is like if adding size imply I'm searching for a file, but what I really want is all directories if all files added together is smaller than 1 MB.

I could of course do it by sorting directories by size with Shift Alt Enter, but then I wouldn't be able to manipulate the search with sub levels, dates and attributes.

No you cannot matching folder size in search. Folders by them self do not have a size.
You can list folder size in the Explorer panel by selecting files and selecting menu > tools > Calculate folder size
