Support and Feedback / Re: One Drive: Why Automatic Download of whole folder by opening a folder?

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on Today at 17:13:00 »

Im not able to recreate that. If I access a file from onedrive folder that is a only a placeholder folder (fake file that is not synced to local) then Windows will download that file and MC can then access it. That file and not all others.
I have not seen that ALL files is getting download if you only try to access one of them.  I'm not able to recreate that scenario.

Can you create a step by step description on how to trigger it ?

Support and Feedback / One Drive: Why Automatic Download of whole folder by opening a folder?

« Last post by Malleus on Today at 14:12:04 »

Hi all,
perhaps anybody can help me:
- I'm using One Drive a lot for backup scenarios
- Many folders are in sync with my local hard drive, but the files are only "visible" without being available , there are still in the cloud 
- ( folder option: free used storage)
  -> Only the cloud icon is shown in the MS file explorer ( if you download the file, you will see a green checkmark icon)
- If I now want to move some files into this cloud folder, MultiCommander is trying to download "all the files from the cloud". I'll get a message from Windows: "An App is downloading a file, do you want to cancel "this" file download or block the App.
- So, I have to cancel all file downloads manually or block the App
- But if I block the APP I can't unblock multi commander again. It wont be in the list of the corresponding Windows Setting Screen.
- If I want to open any of these file in the cloud, it won't work anymore. I have to deinstall mc completely and install it again.

So, my question is: Is it possible to stop multi commander to download "all" file in a One Drive folder?
Using Windows File Explorer if I click on a file (which hasn't been downloaded already) to open it, the file will be download first automatically.


A lot of text :-(  Hope it's clear what my problem is.

I want to use multicommander with my One Drive folders, I don't want to download all the files in a folder only by opening this folder in multi commander.

Thanks a lot for all your help/advices.

Frank

Bug #1
When using 64x64 Thumbnail Mode, the 'Right-Click Menu Keyboard Key' (I have that as a special key on my Dell keyboard next to the Function Key (it's a laptop)) doesn't open the Right-Click Menu sometimes. On 96x96 Thumbnail Mode it's functional & works always in Detailed List Mode though . If you could fix this in a future update that'd be great !
P.S: I was able to pinpoint+replicate the issue:: It happens when the caret is on the first item 'Move To Upper (Empty Arrow) Directory' thumbnail, if you move the caret to an actual File\ Folder & then switch between Tabs, the Right-Click Menu appears ! So there's a prob /w the caret being on the first item 'Move To Upper (Empty Arrow) Directory' box initially. If you want a screenshot to demonstrate I can do so … 
P.P.S: It works sometimes, doesn't work other times !  :'( <~~ Nvm I fixed this by checking 'Show Context Menu on '..' Item" !!

Bug #2
I don't see the 'Keyboard Customization' hotkey for 'Switching Tabs': that is, I don't see the Ctrl+Tab and the Ctrl+Shift+Tab for moving backwards and forwards between Tabs listed there. I want to change the hotkey to Ctrl+Page Down and Ctrl+Page Up that's why. 

Bug #3
When I use the " -AutoRun=AutorunCmd" command-line parameter in the MC shortcut (to View the Full Pane), my Tabs get reset and there's only 1 tab !!  I have the shortcut running as Admin, maybe that has something to do with it ? <~~ Nvm this is working too, I accidentally wrapped the [Shortcut Properties] path within double quotes —that's why it reset the Tabs !! 

#2 Not a bug. just an not implemented feature.
Some keys are not able to be changed. But you should be able to create a own command that call that command and assign to custom keys (unless that key is hard coded)
But the default variant will still be there too

Support and Feedback / Re: How to always start with 50%/50% panels?

« Last post by Klaas Hobo on April 17, 2024, 11:19:57 »

Thanks Jungle,
Remember split size;  I was thinking the other way around, not configuring it is better ;-)
And columns autosize is what I will try out for a while. Looks good thoug!

I always have to re-adjust my panels to 50%/50% when starting MC. Where can I set that the % of panel width is always 50%/50%?

There's an option under Menu Configuration > Core settings > Layout > Application layout > Panel Tab > Remember split size
With this option disabled MC should always restore 50/50 ratio

Also I would like to be sure then that column with is also sizing according to panel width (that is wider when panels width get bigger) and where to configure that?

Menu Configuration > Explorer panel settings > Display > Sorting and columns > Autosize columns

I tried to create a shortcut to MC on the desktop and input:
"C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\MultiCommander.exe" -AutoRun=Core.1206

It doesn't work.

It does work, but you have to create a User Defined Command. So you go to Configuration > User Defined Commands, create a command named e.g. AutorunCmd:

Code: [Select]

Command type = Internal Commands
Module = Multicommander (Base)
Command = Full Pane width
Then in the shortcut params specify -AutoRun=AutorunCmd


EDIT. You may also create UDC of type MultiScript:

MC.RunCmd ID="Core.1206"

The split size is not save if you totally or almost hide one of the panels.

I tried to create a shortcut to MC on the desktop and input:
"C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\MultiCommander.exe" -AutoRun=Core.1206

Core.1206 is the Command code for "View - Full pane width". I hoped that it would be possible to execute a MC command to get a full pane startup layout without pressing CTRL+F11. It doesn't work. This could be useful and probably it is already possible but I don't know how to do it.
