I know. As I said.. only basic functions included. And that include error checking and retry as admin stuff

No MC is not using QT. Visual Studio 2012.
SDK - Well... it should have been out. As I said before MC is build using a plugin architecture and all these internal plugins are using the same SDK that will be released. So the interface for MC is large. But there is only very limited documentation.
I been spending quite a bit of time cleaning it up making it ready. I plan to release a preview soon. But I think I need to create a couple of sample plugins too.
To begin with extension will need to be created using C++. I was planing to create a C# proxy so that extension should be created using that. But I do not have the time for that.
C++ is fine okey for me. Will the SDK work with Visual Studio Express 2012 ?
it's still best to start from 1024...I don't agree.
-Seems the argument with gradient is convincing.It if for Microsoft so they can say that now with Windows 8 you get xx% more battery life
-In my case the sizes weren't converted unless they reach 1.20. But I haven't used the recent beta so maybe it's the reason. I've only tried 1412.hm 1.2 might be correct. There is a threshold before it turns over.
-Windows Explorer(in both selection and copy/move dialog, etc) itself uses gradients.. so maybe it's not that resource hog..Yes they still have in some places. But it was also removed in a lot of places. Because every cpu cycle counts. that gradient require many many times more cpu then plain color. Performance is not always speed but also watts. How much power a program usage. And now when more then half of all computers are battery powered it is even more impotent.
-I noticed that the sizes in the explorer panel are now converted to higher units (KB to MB) when they reach 1.20..it still doesn't start from 1024 but it's much better now..thanks for that....It starts from what ever unit size you set in settings 1024 or 1000 bytes per kb.
BTW:No MC is not using QT. Visual Studio 2012.
-Are you using Qt Creator for UI design?
-When will the SDK be released?
-Maybe allowing the menu items to have icons will help. Currently only 'File Search' has one.That is because of technical reason and should work soon. But not all command will gets icons since I can not draw my self and have to rely on free icons I find.
Also, please allow the users to configure the menus and menu items(rearrange, delete, add...). 'Menu customization' lets the users add their own Menus and Menu Items for those menus but it doesn't allow the same functionality for the original menus(File, Edit, View, Configuration..etc) and menu items..Icons for the menu items will make main menu more lively..It is something that I been looking into. However it is not an easy task, The why MC works with menus are very special. MC is build around a plugin architecture. Everything in MC is almost a plugin, and all plugins can dynamically adds there items to the menus.
-You can also allow more UI elements(such as the quick launch bar, move/copy progress bars, menu items dialog(?, not sure what it's called), etc..) to have their colors configured..Most UI element takes there colors from what it is configured in Windows. And if you change that it will change in MC.
And speaking of colors, 'modern colors' are more than just plain colors, they also have gradients and the likes..Not anymore Modern as in Windows 8, then gradient are gone everywhere. (since it require a lot more CPU cycle. and that is not good for the battery)
-An option to display item path in the address bar in a 'explorer-like breadcrumb' (the one seen in windows explorer)..current crumb bar works fine but though it allows almost the same functionality as the breadcrumb, it isn't as modern..Problem is that Windows does not expose their built in crumbbar for 3de party apps to use.
FileColoringLoad( <filename> );
FileColoringSave( <filename> );
@var $id = FileColoringAddCustomColor( <TextColor> , <Background Color> );
FileColoringSetCustomColor( $id , "D:\MyFile.txt" );
FileColoringSetCustomColor( $id , "D:\MyFolder\Img*.jpg", true ); // set third parameter to 'true' do to wildcard matching
There is one glitch with the custom file color. It only works if the file have been shown and are in the UI cache. So it might not be so useful.I know that MC mostly focus on features and I love that, and I'd have no problems with the current interface if I was still using Windows XP and MC would look fine on it. But with Windows 7 raising the bar for the UI looks, it's just that I feel improvements can be made in this regard.Win7 mostly added glass stuff. and I was planing on adding something like that but it is to resource intensive.. And in Win8 it was removed again. so that was scraped.
What language did you use to create MC?C++
- 'Browse' button near 'Look in'The entire file browser on the other site is the location picker..
- be able to display the sizes in b, kb, mb, gbThere are a lot of changes planed for search, and it will fix many of the issue with search
- column configuration that will not change and remain until you change it.Currently, everytime you run search, the columns of the result panel will be set to the original configuration
@var $foldername = GetSourceFocusName();
@var $srcPath = GetSourcePath();
@var $trgPath = GetTargetPath();
$srcPath = $srcPath ^ $foldername;
$trgPath = $trgPath ^ $foldername;
if( IsFolder( $srcPath ) )
{
if(IsFolder( $trgPath) )
{
MC.Explorer.Goto SOURCE={$srcPath} TARGET={$trgPath}
}
}
@var $foldername = GetSourceFocusName();
@var $srcPath = GetSourcePath();
@var $trgPath = GetTargetPath();
$srcPath = $srcPath ^ $foldername;
$trgPath = $trgPath ^ $foldername;
MC.Explorer.Goto SOURCE={$srcPath} TARGET={$trgPath}
Then assign that command to a shortcut key. and if you are standing on a folder named "My Folder" in the source view. and run the command it will try to enter a "My Folder" folder in both the target and source panel.
