Yes and no.

There is no built in way to create file lists yet, It is on my to do list.

But you can copy all the selected file name to the clipboard and paste into notepad and print it from there.

From  "Menu > Tools > To Clipboard" you have a couple of different option on how the filename should be copied.
with or without path , with date and size and so on.

3977
Yes

Under the "Sorting and Columns" category under settings.

Uncheck

"Show link target in name column"


3978
No it is not possible.

The whole design around this kind of file manager is that you have a source and target panel. And if you hide one of them by default it is to easy to mess things up because a lot of functions is assuming that it shown.

You can toggle the current panel to use full size with Ctrl+F11. But this settings is not saved between restarts.

There is no way to use the "Windows code" for this. It is not exposed. Or was not when it was written.. (Long time ago)

The "New" items are defined in the registry. ("ShellNew" keys under extension names, eg "HKEY_CLASSESS_ROOT\.txt\ShellNew")
It also says there what data should be added to create an empty file of that type. (if there is a "data" value there)
Or it can have a reference to a template file that should be used ("nullfile")

Some of it might have change now. Was years ago since I looked at that.

I might look it over again.. someday.  maybe..  if it rains.

It is because it is almost not supported anymore. and is being faced out.

Before there was more of a difference between if an item was selected or checked.
It becomes more clear if you enabled "checkboxes" in settings so that it shows a checkbox in front of the items.
Before it was possible to have items that was checked and items that was selected and it did not need to be the same. But this has been removed (in most situations)
and it now keeps selected and checked synced. (The underlaying UI component still makes a distinction of selected and checked)

The "Selected" settings will be removed. (Or more correct, the "Checked" settings will be rename to "selected" and the one that is selected today will be removed)

So for now. use the same color for "selected" as for "normal".

3981
Yes..

It would be nice if it was possible to dynamically change the button text. I been thinking if it would be possible to add.
But it would require a lot of work to get that working so for now you have to go with fixed button names.

I will put it on the "Nice to have" list.

3982
No it is not possible to modify the button name from script dynamically.

3983
No there is not option to automatically press return for you.

But it might be possible to create this with script or usercommands. I will check

3984
When you delete to the recycle bin a file is not really delete. It is just moved to the recycle bin folder.
Multi Commander will move all the files separate in the recycle bin, This so that you can recover just the file you want without having to restore all of them.

If you really know you do not want to move them top recycle bin. Then select to delete them permanent and they will be gone much faster.

I might add an option for it.



3985
Menu > Configuration > Core Settings > File System (Tab)

There are a couple of "Ask for confirmation before...." settings you can change.

I don't know if SuRun is the problem. But it is a shell extension that I see is loaded into the MultiCommander process. And the crash happens in windows shell extension handling. So it is a candidate.

I have not yet done any test with SuRun. But I will see if I get some time over and will check later.

No Step Recorder will not do anything.

Since S10 does not install any shell extension. (at least not what I can see ) I think it is some other shell extension that come in conflict with S10 stuff.

Since it is memory corruption error something can mess up the memory when A is called.. but the crash will not happen until Z is doing something.
So one might think that the problem is with Z. but it really is A. With other words. I can might not always be the most obvious thing that is the problem.

I think more that it is the SuRunExt.dll  (SuRun ? http://sourceforge.net/projects/surun/ ?? ) shell extension that do something. But I have not been able to do any tests yet.

You sure S10 is the problem ?

I installed it and I don't see that it installs any shell extension. Does it adds any extra options to your right click menu ?

Maybe it is some other shell extension you have installed that makes it break.

According to the crash dump something has corrupted the memory for the shell extensions. so it can really be any of them.

Even though the registry is emulating a filesystem. The Search does not fully work for it yet

Strange rendering problem.

I'm not able to recreate that problem. What OS are you running on ? does it happen every time you start the program in maximized mode ?

The button panel problem is a bug. I will add that to my list of things to fix.

You said the problem was gone in 2.1RC .. It is back ?

You can try to uninstall the S10 shell extension to check if it really is that shell extension that makes it crash.
And if it is. I can see if there is anything I can fix on my side. But there is a risk the problem is in the S10 Shell extension then, there is nothing I can do to fix it.

I have been trying to find a way to edit the information that is displayed in the "Extra Columns" provided when right-clicking on the column header of the file view pane. Specifically the 'Description' and 'Comments' columns.

I used to have a shell extension on my 32bit machine that allowed me to attach comments to files. I found it very useful for all the downloads that I accumulate. This also worked for files that didn't have a 'Details' tab on their 'File - Properties'.
The file system on Windows does not support a standard way of having a file comment.
Some file types supports it (MP3 via ID3 tags, JPG via EXIF tags), some extra tools for adding user comments to files stores the comments in extra files next to the file or some stored them in a comments database, or as substream data to the file.

And since there is not standard way with comment and since there is no support for any of the 3de party solutions yet.
Editing file comments is not supported yet.

Secondly. How can I enable the display of these columns by default. Currently I can set up a folder with these extra columns but if I duplicate it it reverts to showing only the standard columns.
Go to "Customize Column Set..." and the modify the "[Default]" column set. Then the default column layout will be changed.

Thirdly. I have just done a quick check of comments and descriptions that are provided by files that I haven't edited and the 'Comments" column that MC provides doesn't seem to match the information that 'File - Properties' shows. e.g. I have a WMP plugin that displays lyrics for the active song, the 'File - Properties' shows the following info in the "Comments" section
"This plugin adds global hotkey support to Windows Media Player"
MC leaves this field blank.

Also MC shows, under the 'Comments' column, for a number of files "This installation was built with Inno Setup.". Information that normally doesn't display in the 'File - Properties' tab. Although examining with a resource hacker does show the same info under the 'Comments' value of the 'Versioninfo'.

So to sum up MC's 'Comments' aren't the same as Windows Explorer's 'Comments' and MC's 'Description' displays what Explorer calls 'File - description'

"Extended - Comment" is the comment property from the file version information that can be stored in exe/dll file.
"Extended - Description" is the description info from the file version information that is stored in exe/dll files

Explorer in Windows 7 handles the comment property differently. It get the information from different places depending on the file type.
For example for .msi file. it get the comment info from the Windows Installer Properties stored in that file.
And they way it is stored is unique to .msi files.

The crash was in the windows shell process of the right click items (Context menu)

Often it is some shell extension that does something bad. But it does not have to be the S10 shell extension it can be some other shell extensions that does something bad and then makes everything crash.

This is the problem with Windows Shell Context Menu. All the Shell Extension need to place safe together. It can be a mess.

Strange.
Do not understand how it can conflicts with S10. I have not run S10 my self so I don't know that it does.
But since it happens during right click it, S10 probably installs a shell extensions that is called when showing the context menu.

But nice to hear that it works in the 2.1RC.  But no issue around shell extensions has been changed for 2.1 (I think.. not sure).
But I will take a look at the dump you sent later tonight and see if it give any hints on that can have caused it.

Maybe is still crashes on some files and work some others..  If get the crash again, let me know.
