Support and Feedback / Re: make MultiCommander the default system-wide handler?

« on: June 04, 2023, 20:06:32 »

The following link may help.  The solution is for the "Q-Dir" file manager, but the principle should be the same.

Hmm...  works for me in MC 12.8 (build 2929) and 13.0 (build 2948).

Do you have file extensions hidden, by any chance?

@AndersMadsen

Could it be your antivirus removing the files?

Is there anything in MC, antivirus or Windows Event logs?

Do you any so-called disk cleaners(CCleaner, Bleachbit, or the like)?

Hmm...

Works for me in MC 11.6 and 12.8.  To clarify, did this start only after your changes of hardware/transport protocols?

Some ideas/WAGs:
Do you actually have access rights to the drive roots?
Do you have any locked tabs?
Are the new drives mounted as shares?

Support and Feedback / Re: Find & Replace or MultiScript to edit & output XML?

« on: December 06, 2022, 18:40:17 »

Hi Ulf.

Do you have a decent text editor that supports macros (Notepad++, UltraEdit, etc)?

As a programmer, I believe it would be quicker and less effort to use one of those as the tool for the job.

Support and Feedback / Re: Problem with UserDefinedCommands.zip

« on: November 30, 2022, 11:52:23 »

I will check if it is possible to keep date/time when it rebuild the zip

Date/time would be useful, adding the a attribute would give a quicker visual cue what has changed

Also the filename is not important., You can rename the script file if you want. the Guid used is the one set inside the .udc file then you can easier identify what script is what.

Sure, but I don't want to navigate from an open zip file back to MC, open UDCs and check every script to locate the Guid then go back to the zip and identify the changed script!

Support and Feedback / Problem with UserDefinedCommands.zip

« on: November 30, 2022, 00:14:44 »

Hi Mathias.

I have found a problem with UserDefinedCommands.zip.  I have 50 scripts in the zip (each identified only by its GUID).

If I modify a script with MC's editor and save the changes, the zip is updated.  So far so good.  But...

When the zip is rebuilt with my changes all files in the archive are given the same date/time stamp and all file attributes are removed.

So I have no way to identify which file in the archive was changed; there is no visible  connection between the GUId and the script name.

@mcfreddog,

sincere apologies - I did not study the images carefully enough 

In my (lame) defence, I always hide toolbars and icon panels in my system tools, so I never look for them.
