Thanks

Not a feature I use myself, but at least I know what you are talking about and that I cannot help

Hi Ulf.

What is "MDV" and how do you invoke it?

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Minimise to Tray Enhancements

« on: February 15, 2018, 11:21:42 »

Hi Mathias.

I have recently started using "Minimize to tray instead of closing".

It would be really useful to have a configuration setting to "Start MC minimized to tray" so I can start it automatically with the OS and have it in the tray ready to use.

Also, once minimized, the only ways to actually close MC are:

  Right-click the tray icon and click "Close Multi Commander (I do not really want to reach for the mouse) or
  Choose the File menu and select "Exit"; but...  then I have the "Are you sure you want to exit Multi Commander" dialog.
 
It would useful if that dialog could be suppressed with a configuration setting, so that MC closes immediately.

Does the MC log (Ctrl+L) show anything useful?

Mathias,

You can delete a folder if files inside it are in use

Should that be "You canNOT delete a folder if files inside it are in use"?

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Folder Size

« on: December 24, 2017, 11:59:45 »

The detailed format of the size is not user friendly

Under the menu: Configuration->Explorer Panel Settings on the "Display" tab in the "File and Folder Display" section, you can set the file size units and the suffix.

Very user friendly

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Folder Tree should show the content of the folder with Keyboard only

« on: December 21, 2017, 11:17:23 »

Sorry Mathias - my bad.

I opened the tree in a locked tab so, of course, I could not navigate anywhere else. 

Old age I guess

Have a great Christmas and thanks for all the hard work

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Folder Tree should show the content of the folder with Keyboard only

« on: December 19, 2017, 18:00:26 »

Mathias,
  The problem is worse in build 2400...

If I open a filetree node using the mouse and then move further down the tree, clicking in the node that is selected does not show the correct files in the files pane; the original node's files are still shown.

Also, hitting Enter (Return) moves to the files pane, but there is no way [keyboard) to get back to the tree.

I hope that is a clear explanation

I notice the new beta is not showing the "Beta" banner on the splash screen or the "About...." screen.

I can confirm this problem (build 2381).

On further testing, you do not even need steps 2 and 3, just to enter a folder for the first time.

Hi Ulf.

Noticed a strange status output error using the sfv checker on W7x64 MC 7.5 b2381

What is "sfv"?

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: MCTAB-Files shouldn't save the focus information of the panel.

« on: September 23, 2017, 12:13:07 »

Ok, nice, but sorry, i can't understand why you need a focus on a very old file or save you the MCTAB-Files every day?

No.  I have a"standard" set of tabs which is my starting point when I open MC.  I have a link in my first tab to a mailbox that my programming colleagues post to all day, every day.

So I use this shortcut most often.  It saves me having to type "M" to give it focus

The .mctab file is just a plain text file, so it's easy enough to delete the "ItemFocus" line, if you like.

This new feature is imo useless.

I find it invaluable.  I was extremely pleased when it was implemented

Hi Mathias.

Build 2379 is labelled 7.5, not 7.4...

-- Build 2377 - (9-Aug-2017 )
ADDED - Settings for Device Dropdown if it should remember last used path or not

Where in config is this option - I am too blind (or old) to find it

I'm sure no one goes through all their systray apps and closes them all individually before shutting down their PC?

You are right, of course.  I should have read more carefully before posting. Apologies

REG is not using default column setup. So it cant remember it

I realise that, but the issue was not present before v7.3

Might be possible to create a custom column setup that only trigger for reg:

That would be excellent!

FWIW, it is bad practice to shut down a PC without closing all open apps...

Support and Feedback / Last Modified Date Often not Populated

« on: July 15, 2017, 19:16:17 »

Build 2360, Win 7 Pro, x64

Mathias,

there is an issue with Last Modified Date in build 2360 and the last 3 or 4 builds.

This happens frequently after re-starting MC.  F5 causes the column to be repopulated (of course), but I cannot pin down when or why it happens.  There is nothing in the logs...

Anything I can test?
