Where is a quick way for that,

Click on the "Wizard mode (on/Off)" Last Row, Last Button to the right on the button panel (Also exists in configuration menu)
Background for the Button panel now change. Now you can drop a file or folder to a button.
When you do that the Button panel wizard is shown. It will generate the command needed and set it to that button.
You got two option in the Dialog.  "Open file" or "Go to file"  Select "Go to file/path". Then Click OK..

(Then click the "Wizard mode on/off" button again to turn off that the wizard popup when dropping on buttons)

I'm no regexp expert..  Trying to do regexp almost makes my head explode..

But there are couple of different regexp specs.  But most of them work almost the same. But there are minor differences between them.
MC using the RegExp engine that are now part of the C++ Language.. and by default it is using the "ECMAScript syntax" grammer (Should be same as JavaScript uses)

I got something like that planed for the future.. But it is not just that easy to replace *.* with <custom>,
Using a custom filter does not fit into the architecture at the moment.. But I got some plans for some changes so that it will (maybe).

No. Sorry. it is not possible, and one reason for it is just because the filters are per tab.
This kind of settings does not fit well into a per tab session settings. X Numbers of Filters for Y Number of folders for Z number of Tabs.
Need some other kind of settings strategy for that and that is there yet

About filter set per tab. It would come to me completely, but I can not find where it can be configured.
?? The View Filter you set..are the one from that popup or typing you self or activate by script are set only for that tab. It will not change other tabs .
There is no other view filters.

It remember it during the session. So if you set *.jpg in a folder and goes out of that folder it is not set. but when you go back in it is.
Also the view filter are set per view (tab). not globally.

The idea with them are to use it when you are working with file in a folder and you set a temporary filter for that folder in that view.

Filter are meant for temporary filtering.. But you can create a script that set that filter and assign it to a hotkey


Code: [Select]
MC.Explorer.SetViewFilter FILTER=".desktop.ini"

Support and Feedback / Re: File order when editing multiple files
« on: October 31, 2014, 10:14:29 »
Neither.

The editor (Notepad++) is executed once for every selected file. And they are executed in the order they sorted from Top to Bottom.

2986
Thanks..
I have fixed this now.. Translator missed some formatting characters that messed things up.

Just replace the attached language file with the existing one.. it is located in <mcinstallpath>\Languages\
(You can type ":goapp" in the commandline field inside MC to go to the MC app path)

« on: October 28, 2014, 17:22:27 »
Maybe some of the other option there need to be checked.. case sensitive / whole words / text type (ascii/unicode/...)

Anyway.. I works for me. And it is hard to fix if I cannot recreate the issue.
But if you can create a file where the case is reproducible then I might be able to to fix it.

Sorry.
When accessing portable devices it is access via WPD (Windows Portable Device. that are using MTP to talk to the device) Windows do not get full file system access to the device.. So because of that the Thumbnail engine can not get thumbnails so it will not be supported anytime soon.

No.. The quick lauchbar is not a toolbar.  it looks like it but it is not. So it does not support dropdown buttons

NOTE: The Function-bar is also functionally great -- what it exposes, enables and it's ability to switch states via modify keys (ctrl|shift|etc). Although it is definitely limited in what can be reasonably contained within it's various buttons, and becomes somewhat awkward to hide/show it when needed. As well as visually jarring when it jumps between states when you are just pressing a modifier key for something else.

You mean buttonpanel ? Limited ? you can put almost anything there.. externals, script, internal commands.
You can change how many rows you want and you can also disable the alternative buttons when modifier keys is used


Addenum: Is this something that could be implemented with MC's plugin architechture?
Dont think so,  but maybe. depends on exactly what you want to do

« on: October 20, 2014, 07:38:40 »
It works for me.

But it depends on what you mean.
If you search for "212345" it is searching for that text string. It does not do any special handling for numbers it handles it as a string for text.

Support and Feedback / Re: Inline rename works strange
« on: October 16, 2014, 19:12:22 »
No it works as it should

Move and Rename are the same and it do not ask to move to another folder. As you see in the dialog there is no target path.. so they will be moved (renamed) to the same location.. (unless you choose to enter another location)

When you are renaming multiple files you will move them to a new name based on existing name.  That are what the * in the target name is for.
The first * is for filename the second is for file extension.
So if you select 2 files (myfile1.txt and myfile2.txt) and rename when and in the target name dialog you add "_bak" so it is "*.*_bak" then they are renamed to myfile1.txt_bak and myfile2.txt_bak

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: 5 Suggestions
« on: October 15, 2014, 09:14:00 »
Hi. Thanks for the program.

Please add the following functions:
1. In the tool "Find Files" - Search in the archives.
2. In the "Explorer Panels" - Show localized names for files and folders (from "desctop.ini")
3. In the "Explorer Panels" - When selecting a drive, always open root folder.
4. In the navigation path - Support of system variables (see: cmd -> set).
5. Don't show splash screen on startup.


1. Is planned.
2. Will probably not happen. MC is designed to not lie to you and show you exactly what the file system look like. Not show a virtual view of the filesystem like WinExplorer
3. Maybe as an option. It is kind of a feature to remember where it was last on that drive.
4. ? Command line field support enviroment lookup..  you can type "%WINDIR% , %TEMP% and so on there.
5. It is so nice. and if loading is slow you see what it does. It is shown in the background and will not halt any loading of normal operations.

I'm not able to recreate that.. It might depend on how the rar file is created. But I do not have any .rar files that fails like that.

  • BUG?: None of the 3 "save on exit" options ticked, yet when I open the app without parameters I get many tabs all pointing to "c:\".  At the very least only restore one directory once...
  • BUG?: Disabling the "Quick Launch" toolbar only works until the app is restarted.
  • BUG!: I open (via .ini) many shared folders in left pane and one to the users "temp" directory on the right hand side. Quite frequently each folder is duplicated including the ".." on the right side local drive.
  • BUG!: The color picker dialog doesn't work until the vertical bar (shading?) on the right is clicked
  • BUG!: When starting from default configuration, dragging columns to reorder them and "save current layout as default" doesn't do so but restores the original default.  After adding a column saving works, after that saving seems to work for subsequent column reordering.

  • BUG?: The "Remember Split" option I had to try to set multiple times, I don't know if this is a general issue saving configuration or something else is going on.
  • Suggestion: The app displays "[Admin]" on the left of the title, please move to after (and/or allow disabling), when many apps open all you see on the start bar is "[Admin"] XYZ....", I have set a title with "-t" that starts with "XYZ" and I don't group icons and use multiple instances (one per computer).
  • Suggestion: The tabs start with "[C]" or "[ComputerName]", there appears to be configurability to alter this but none to move it to the end. The tabs don't display the full text so I'd like to at least see the important it.
  • Suggestion: I'd like an option for the tabs to be bigger and over multiple lines
  • Suggestion: Registry only works on local workstation, if I am connected to a remote computer, I'd like that computers registry loaded. More generically, I'm hoping that the computer name will be available to any batch or MC scripts I create.
  • Suggestion: I'd like regular expression matching as an option for color matching rules.
  • Suggestion: I've worked out how to highlight the current pane, I haven't found this for current tab and it is very hard to see which it is.
  • Suggestion: When starting the app there seems no way to make the first tab on the first pane the default. You can only set the last tab on either pane.
  • Suggestion: File info tooltip should include the color rule name that was applied.
  • Suggestion: Optionally cascading color rules would be nice, allowing multiple rules to set different attributes for example hidden files may have a certain background color and following rules might set bold (for system attribute) etc.
  • Suggestion: I was hoping that I would be able to set the split on the comamnd line but failing that set up the split set the "Remember Split" option, close and restart the app and turn off the "Remember split" option and it would remember the original split but not any subsequent changes I'd make in a session.
  • Suggestion: Many Tab options are not available on the .ini file
  • Suggestion: The INI file reading is very touchy and no error messages, it took me a while to realise that unlike real ini files you can't indent the value names and you can't have trailing whitespace.
  • Suggestion: The app need MultiComander right click options, for example right click on folder "new tab"
  • Suggestion: If you accidently choose name instead of extension you clear the other fields, even changing this back doesn't restore the cleared data, ideally the app would not clear anything that is valid for the new "Field"

Most of the above were tested on WINXP some on Windows 7 (MC v4.5.1 (build 1769) 32 bit edition).  Anyway thanks for the app and making it free.

1. It works. You might have previously save session data that it picks up.
2. If you hide it, it comes back. To Disable you need to disable it in settings.
3. Yes know issue that can happen often on slow drives. in some werid situations, Not able to reproduce it. It is some kind of cache sync issue.. Just refresh and it fixes it self.
4. Yes you need to click the color button to change the color.. not sure what you expect ?
5. That can sometimes happens, depends on the situation.. But it is fixed in the current beta.
6. Works for me.. But there is a minimum size..
7. Maybe or but maybe not.. I need it where it is myself.
8. ?
9. Changing tab font/size is planned.. But multiple rows of tabs are not coming
10. Editing registry on remote computer will not be supported.
11. It is not there because of performance issue.(RegExp is a slow dog.) But there are plans to maybe solve that with some regex caching. But not sure.
12. Try change to another color and/or solid color.  Active tab is shown a bit lighter
13. It sets the active tab to the same as ti was when you closed it. (except if you start by own setup file. But then you can set it there)
14. Maybe.. Not sure it is possible to add without big changes
15. Was planed but confused users and users did not understand it.
16. as command line parameter ?  no that is not possible.
17. Most are but not documented (yet). Look in the session data for what is saved about the tab when closing MC. the same tags can be used in the .ini file.
18. It is windows fault. I use Windows API to read the ini file and it is a bit sensitive.
19. ? You can create new tabs by right clicking on tabs.
20. That is already fixed in beta. (or alpha.. or something.. last week)

That radio buttons is in the pick color dialog that pops up.
I'm very sorry, but I can not see neither an option "use default background color" nor a radio button "Background Color" in this Colors tab of Explorer Pane dialog :-[
I suppose, that I might work with the wrong dialog. Could you please describe a bit more exactly, which way should I reach this dialog, which you mean?
No. Not inside the tab.. I said in the "pick color" dialog that popsup :)

1. Check "Use File specified background colors"
2. Check "Use Folder specified background colors"
3. Click on Focus item under Files.
4. Color Pick Dialog shown. Uncheck "use default background" and select "background color"
5. Pick a color.. then press OK..
6. Click on Focus item under Folder
7. Color Pick Dialog shown. Uncheck "use default background" and select "background color"
8. Pick a color.. then press OK..
9. Press Save or Apply in the settings dialog..
10. Colors changed.

and uncheck the "use default background color" and click on the "Background Color" radio button. so that it switches over to background..
and then select wanted background color
It seems, that there is neither the option "use default background color" nor "Background Color" radio button at the [Color] tab of Explorer Pane. :-\
That radio buttons is in the pick color dialog that pops up..
 
Anyway it seems at this stage, that MC has a similar "Inverter cursor" option, as in Total Commander. Could you please consider adding this functionality? Trust me, it is very, very, very convenient. Please see the attached screenshot from Total Commander settings and file panels.
it does not fit into my program architecture. I would collide with the customizations options.
