Beta Releases / Re: version 11.3 BETA (Last updated 10-Sep-21)

« on: September 10, 2021, 14:10:10 »

Just installed 2809
Cannot get past the startup flag @ reading config.  No idea if anything (eg error dialog) is behind it as it is 'fixed'.
Clicking on it makes it crash/close.

Really like the new copy / move dialog that appeared in the last release. Thanks Mathias   

Btw Jus so you know, the Appcrashview stuff is no help, it tells me nothing. specially since it is a hang and not a crash. 
Anyway I cannot replicate that. works on all machines here.. that strange..

Portable or installed ?

Can you start again and then when it hangs crash go into TaskManager and right click on MultiCommander.exe process in detaliled view and select Create Dump.
And then zip/7z it and upload it to http://multicommander.com/upload
Then I can see at what stage in the program it halts

Nevermind I been able to recreate it

Support and Feedback / Re: Unarchiving large .zip file with many directories and files is failing.

« on: September 09, 2021, 22:08:07 »

There is no general issue with unpacking large zip archive. It works with all large archives I have that are over 5GB+
Might be something special with just those archive you downloaded. So it is impossible for me to say why it does not work for you.

If you look in the logfile (Ctrl+L) is there any additional error information ?

Support and Feedback / Re: When copying folder again: skipp all only skips this item

« on: September 08, 2021, 09:42:41 »

I copy folder from my camera to my hadrdrive for backup purposes.

When I copy the same folder again I get to choose what to do with the filders already on the harddrive. Since I don't want to copy them again I select "skip all" I expect MC to skip all the files that are already on the harddrive. But it doesn't. The next file i get the same pop-up with the same question again.

Did I miss an option somewhere? Or is this a bug in MC?

I cannot recreate this.
How is the camera accessed ? is it accessed like a normal filesystem ? or remote device or other ?

This seems to be a bug. I already asked about it in 2019, but the developers seem not to care about it. Shouln't be hard to fix anyway.

Think is never as easy to fix that most people think. if stuff are easy to fix they are fixed quickly.
Most often also the bug report is bad and faulty so it cant be replicated, or the issue is more complex to fix and other stuff have higher prio.

@Mathias (Author)
Could you please answer my email about adding an option to overwrite (replace) default path to some configuration files and UDC Script directory?
Also, what do you think about it?
Is it possible to add this for next release?

Thanks,
-Pawel

Yes I saw both of them, It's require a bit to answer and I had not had the time.

Then you deleted it your self or it was not saved when you press post.
Or you posted in an other section and are looking for it in wrong section maybe.  Click on your profile and in the menu on the side you can list all your post and you should find it

It seems that the loading of Tab Sessions go now very much faster, also when programs open which this process slowing very much down. This programs slowing dwn yet, but no more so much.

Eh ? I don't understand.. what is slower ?

I posted this already after other releases and i made some threads about the problem: "Loading Tab sessions is to slow because of some reasons or also without any reason".

But now is the speed very much faster than before. It seems that something which was slowing down the speed was removed.

Strange because nothing around that is changed.

1. Will fix that.

2. Strange. I'm not able to recreate that.

3. Yes the change of how config is read messed up this.  Will be fixed

Hi Mathias,

I'd like to share with you few points which I found in newest MC build 2803:
1. Missing possibility to translate "of" info on copy/move dialog box.
2. When switch to different line than solid, by pressing down arrow, lines change the colour to default one (brighter then one I set in options). Situation change when I move mouse cursor above or go by pressing up arrow. Some issue with refreshing I guess.
3. Colour of active panel change to default even I set in options different one.

Support and Feedback / Re: audio tags in Greek language not displayed properly

« on: August 28, 2021, 12:26:26 »

I suspect that the 3rd party code I had for that does not support reading localized text..  I have not been able to test since I do not have files that this happens on.

Support and Feedback / Re: auto select function in single click mode?

« on: August 04, 2021, 10:16:06 »

I cannot find any issue. For me it works like in Windows Explorer.

In Explorer Panel Settings > Display (tab)
Under the "Selection and checking items"
there is a subsection called "Selection methods"
Both for this must be enabled to get Explorer like behavior

Support and Feedback / Re: Mutli commander does not update when commands are actioned via system

« on: July 29, 2021, 10:18:56 »

Strange, It works when I try. I cannot reproduce that.
Sounds like something on your setup blocking the filesystem change notifications that Windows sends to programs.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Add an option which timestamps (Created, Accessed, Modified) should be copied

« on: July 29, 2021, 02:38:50 »

There is option to keep date time or not. (all or nothing)
Having option for each individual date value feels strange.

Here how the settings could look like in the UI, see my screenshots from WinRAR. https://www.rarlab.com/download.htm


Windows should have no problems it supports this possibility keeping a certain timestamp or not.

More information here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.file.setcreationtime?view=net-5.0

That doc page is for dotNet, MC is not written in C# or dotnet..
But I know how to set the filetime parts, MC is doing it in Menu > Tools > Change Properties and when copying files.

However I'm not sure that just because it it possible to do something it should be done.. MC already have to many settings.
Choosing to just store some of the filestamps is a weird use case. and I don't really know how useful that it.
Adding a feature ,specially that require settings and UI is time consuming.
I put it on my maybe list

« on: July 19, 2021, 06:29:54 »

Strange. I cannot reproduce that.

If doing delete via the popup the delete is done by Windows..  But Windows should notify MC that the folder was removed and it should then refresh the view.
Not sure why it does not work for you.

It is the same no matter where the deleted folder are? or do it only happen on some devices or folders ? I know some network shares on some devices do not send notifications back to windows correctly all the time.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Jump to file/folder

« on: July 18, 2021, 18:28:02 »

By default you need to hold Ctrl+Alt when starting to type to activate quick search.

You can configure that in Explorer panel Settings > Display (tab) >
Go down under the "Keyboard handling" section and there you can configure if you do not want Ctrl+Alt  to be down. However it will disable the feature that keypresses is redirected to the command line field.

Support and Feedback / Re: FTP usb drive plugged into my router - NAS

« on: July 16, 2021, 19:12:40 »

So you access you NAS via FTP ? I have not seen that before but that should work as long as the FTP settings are correct.
Try to change disabled "passive" mode (Toggle for PASV / PORT mode)
Also disable "Auth SSL/TLS" if the NAS do not support secure connection for FTP

Most NAS access I seen is access via network shares, But FTP should work.
