Support and Feedback / Re: How to Drop&Run?

I see. Is that possible to use Alt or Shift as the modifier key? They are not used, right?
Please consider to follow the parameter convention. Currently, my programs can not recognize the file path.

Not sure what you talking about parameter convention..  The dropped file are sent as a parameter to the file it is dropped on. just like you would call it on the command line.
App.exe <Path of dropped file>

I just double click on part 1 of the rar-set. If I don't use MC I get the PW dialog as expected. 

Hmm strange.. I can Navigate into the rar (multi rar archive). select files,  select copy.  asked for password.. enter password. and copy continues..
Not sure what is different.

yes search settings should be remembered

Thanks for info Mathias.
Could it be related to the build of RAR that was used to create the set?
I'll see if I have some old files & try them.

or maybe some rar settings

When drop&run, Windows shell normal trasmit two parameters, the first one is the executable path, then the dragged file path. Multicommander just send the dragged file path as the only one parameter, which is not standard. (I choose Program supports more than 2 (paramaters))

Still hope I can drag any file to any executable, don't have to pre-create the shortcut.

It is possible if you put that executable on the QuickLaunch bar or Button panel.

Example for QuickLaunch bar:
1. Drag'n'drop some executable on the QL bar
2. Customize it by right-clicking the icon and selecting "Customize..." (here you can choose how the dropped files shoud be handled)
3. Now you can drag'n'drop other files on that icon, and they will be opened in that program

Example for Button Panel:
1. Enable wizard mode (Menu Configuration > Toggle button panel wizard mode)
2. Drag'n'drop some executable on the desired button
3. In the settings window check "Accept dropped files..."
4. Disable wizard mode (Menu Configuration > Toggle button panel wizard mode)
5. Now you can drag'n'drop other files on that icon, and they will be opened in that program

If I got you right, you can do it via Custom commands. E.g. write MultiScript or use Internal Commands directly.
For example:

Code: [Select]

@var $path1 = 'c:\temp'
@var $path2 = 'c:\temp\22'

MC.Explorer.NewBrowser PATH="{$path1}" SIDE=LEFT
MC.Explorer.NewBrowser PATH="{$path2}" SIDE=RIGHT
Then you can bind that custom command to a button on the button panel or to a hotkey, or put it to a quicklaunch bar

 Sometimes two folders are related, and they are only used when both sides are open. Is there a way to create a folder pair

Windows Explorer accepts dragging a file onto another executable, putting the file path in the argument and executing it. Can Multi Commander do this? I've tried Alt, Ctrl, Shift, but it doesn't work.
