Support and Feedback / Re: MUITICOMMANDER support relative path?

« on: March 05, 2012, 13:50:24 »

Yes.

Just make sure the path to program you enter is a correct relative path. relative to the installation folder of Multi Commander.

Eg
MultiCommander is installed in E:\MCPortable\
You got Notepad++ in E:\Bin\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe

Then call notepad++.exe using a relative path like
"..\Bin\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe"

For example if using "custom commands" for the button and you want the program to get the file in focus as a parameter

Code: [Select]

MC.Run CMD="..\Bin\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" ARG="${focusfilepath}"

Support and Feedback / Re: Not connected networkshares do not show in Multicommander

« on: February 26, 2012, 16:41:37 »

Ahh I see..

That is because of how Windows work. and because of the security in Windows.

If you logon with as a standard user but are member of local administrator group. Then you will have two (2) access tokens for your account.
And connected networks share are associated with the access token for your standard login account so when a program starts as administrator the second 'admin' access token is used. So a program running as administrator will not have the same access to the network connection.

It work like that because of security reasons in Windows.

Read more at Microsoft KB 937624

You can however enable Linked Connections so that program that runs as administrator will have the same access as program run as normal user.

• Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.
• Locate and then right-click the following registry subkey:
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
• Point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
• Type EnableLinkedConnections, and then press Enter.
• Right-click EnableLinkedConnections, and then click Modify.
• In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
• Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.

The Tabbed Toolbar can not be removed. It was removable before but had some strange side affect so I had to make it locked in its place.

The entire tabbed toolbar area is on my list of things that need to be redesigned. But it will not happen until other more important things have been completed.

The Drive Toolbar can be removed by unchecking it in the Explorer Panel settings.

Support and Feedback / Re: 7-zip compression level

« on: February 24, 2012, 12:46:22 »

At the moment it is using the normal, and It ca not be changed.

But there are plans to include so that some of the compression options can be changed. Compression level is one of them.
But it might not be there in the next release. It depends on how much work it takes to add it.

« on: February 24, 2012, 12:42:13 »

That is one of the most popular features in Multi Commander. That it remember selections.
Right now it is not possible to disable that, But it should be easy to add and I will see if this can be added to the next release.

Normally it should use the same auto close settings as the default option for the copy/move dialog.
but it looks like the auto close settings are not used when unpacking using the unpack feature from the menu > file > unpack ..

Will be fixed in next release

Interesting idea.
I have some plans for a new and improved favorite system. I will include you notes and see what I can come up with.

At the moment there are couple of ways to create path shortcuts.

You can have a path assigned to Ctrl+<num> (0-9) (hotpaths)  you configure them by right clicking the the path field or with ctrl+H

You can also assign aliases for a path. But then you have to type more then 1 letter to get there.
eg. if you stand in you download folder and in the commandline field you types "alias2 dl" then a alias named "dl" will be created. This alias will be set to change the path to what the current path is when the alias was created. (that this moment it is your download folder.)  and then when you type "dl" in the commandline field it will change the current panel to that path.

You can also add a user command that change path and assign then to a menubar or keyboard shortcut.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Multiple columns

« on: February 23, 2012, 21:42:44 »

List mode like in Windows Explorer. .(Multiple file items per row) are not yet supported. Only 'Detailed' mode (1 item per row) are supported at the moment.
List mode it is very high up on the list for new features for future releases.


To use a customized column layout are you default layout you right click on the column header and select 'Customize column sets' and then select the [Default] column set.
Then you can customize it by adding/removing column.. or you can copy your current column setup to the default from the "copy column from" dropdown list.
when you done just click "save changes" and the [Default] column set is changed and by default it should not be used.

« on: February 21, 2012, 14:01:36 »

The setting for that in Windows Explorer does not affect how MultiCommader works.

MC has its own settings for that.

To show hidden/system files in Multi Commander you need to go to

Menu > Configuration > Explorer Panel Settings > Kayout(tab) > Show/Hide special files and folders (catagory)
and then check "Show hidden files and folders" and also "Show system files and folders" (if you need to )

Then it can be that the FTP server you using is special in some way. But since I don't know what server you are using I can not know if that is the case.

You might be able to see if there are any difference in the command that FZ and MC are sending by looking at the log output of them both.
There you might see if FZ is doing something that MC is not.

Support and Feedback / Re: FTP not working?

If it fails to download it can depend on a lot of things. From what FTP server you connect to, what settings is used on server/client and firewall settings.
It is hard to tell without more information.

A program like FileZilla that is dedicated on being a FTP client will always be better, Because they have the time to focus the development on just FTP and to included workarounds and support for all different ftp servers.
Other programs that has FTP Client support like Multi Commander tries to be good enough for most cases.

FTP in Multi Commander works good in 9 of 10 cases. But because the FTP standard is very unspecific in a lot of things, a lot of FTP servers handles things differently, there are cases where a program like FZ will work better.

However FTP in Multi Commander is improving with every release.

Support and Feedback / Re: mouse file select / activate

« on: February 14, 2012, 20:04:28 »

Have "Single Click" open/enter active and Windows Explorer compatibility settings on, might not be a good combination. I there you will always get a some wired conflict there,  since you can not select file correct without starting it or entering a folder.. maybe move the file selection to the right mouse button. and shell context menu to right button double click..?

Support and Feedback / Re: mouse file select / activate

« on: February 14, 2012, 18:17:35 »

The Windows Compatibility mode is not 100% identical to how it is in Windows Explorer. but it is close.


To active single click action. (Single click to run files, to enter folder) go to
Menu > Configuration > Explorer Panel Settings
and under mouse configuration

Set "Open folder" or "Open folder / Execute file" to the Click action.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Move buttons by dragging

« on: February 13, 2012, 19:12:05 »

Moving the buttons in the button panel by drag/dropping them.  That would be nice to have.

But..... it would require a lot of work to implement that. And you can already rearrange the buttons using the button editor.
So the priority for included this will not be very high. Not while there are more important features to add.

Support and Feedback / Re: IIS 6 Virtual / Application Directories not displaying ?

« on: February 02, 2012, 09:46:30 »

I think it is because they are not real folders. They are virtual folder and IIS have someway to expose them to the windows explorer.

I have not been to see this my self in Windows Explorer in Win7. Maybe a extension for iis is needed ? and the windows shell is required.
