There is Ctrl+N and then Return.  I was planing to also add a button. But there was no good place to put it.

Modifying the queue (Remove/Rearrange/save/load/...) is something that have been planed for a long time. But it is something that require a lot of work so I have pushed it forward. But it is on the list.

Do not see any download links for 32 or 64 bit version MC v3.0 BETA 1337.
Check for updates in previous 1335 version reported "No new version is found!"

This is a public beta and is available the normal way. So the update program will find it if the download beta option is checked.

Support and Feedback / Re: Delete Dialog and Shell Context Questions
« on: February 06, 2013, 15:17:21 »
I have looked through the docs and this forum, but I haven't been able to find the answer to these two questions.

1. Is it possible to turn off the delete dialog that appears when deleting files/folders? I don't want to be asked what options to use when deleting each and every time.

2. Is it possible to map a key to open the shell context menu? I know how to map a mouse click to open the shell context menu. However, I would like to use my keyboard to open the shell context menu. My keyboard is a compact type, so it does not have a shell context menu key like some keyboards have.

Thanks in advance.
1. No it was to dangerous and too many accidental files got deleted by users so that option was removed. But I plan on maybe adding it again, but only for deleting to recycle bin. (Like Windows 8) . I might add a option to turn it off completely for permanent delete, But that option will not be exposed in settings. you will have to add that to the settings files manually. 

2. The Context Menu button on the keyboard work. But if you are missing that key. like you are then you are out of luck. Maybe it is possible to remap that key to another key with some program.. But that would be system wide and not only in MC. I will see if it might be possible to add so that command can be customized.

3456
It is planned.. But right now there is a conflict when doing it between starting a copy of the dragged items or by execute file that files are dropped on.
A workaround (If you drop files a lot on the same exe) is to place the exe in the quick launch bar.  Dropping files on a files there works.

Support and Feedback / Re: Zip and encodings
« on: February 06, 2013, 15:03:19 »
Zip by its standard only allow for 7bit characters.

But there are settings to force what code page to use. They are still "experimental" (not widely tested) so you have to type the settings in the command line field

* Force the zip filesystem to use a custom codepage. Set Codepage using ":zipcp <cp num>" in the command line field. ( type ":zipcp -1" for current system codepage )
":zipcp 0" to restore to default behavior

* Force the zip filesystem to use the extended zip support for UTF8 when created Zip archive. Use commandline command ":ziputf8 1" to enable and ":ziputf8 0" to disable

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: panels

Or press Ctrl+. (dot)
Then Target path is set to the same as the source.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: panels
« on: February 01, 2013, 16:39:08 »
Think you need to explain that better.

Target panel is always the panel that is not in focus. and is the default target location for copy and other operations.. Like other commanders.

3461
Or they can use MC to open the 7Zip file. If you copy the content of a 7Zip file from inside MC it will work.

3462
First, thanks for the excellence program.

My requests:
1. Open a cmd window from here.  Right click on a folder and have an option to "Open cmd window from here", with the folder path set as current directory in cmd.  Also, an option to "Open cmd as administrator from here"
2. Predefined target directories for Copy and Move operations.  Let users pre-define target directories.  Once copy or move was invoked, prompt user for target selections.

1. You can kind of do that now using the command line field.. by typing "cmd" or "*cmd" (open as admin)
But the entire context menu thing will be reworked and then it will be added there too.

2. You can set presets for the copy to dialog that auto set target path/filter/option. This preset can be loaded from the F-key or also autoload if you starta a copy/move from a specified folder.  Expand the CopyTo dialog completely and at the bottom you can defined presets.

3463
The problem is that 7Zip temporary unpack the file and tell MC that the files is location at path X. and then MC starts to Copy the files. But since MC copy the file using a background thread then the control is returned to 7Zip when the copy starts and it thinks that the process is finished and deletes the tmp file. (While MC is copying them.)

I will see if this can be fixed.. I think the program need to block and wait until copy is finished. However this will block the program until the copy is finished.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Support for other OS's
« on: January 30, 2013, 14:59:29 »
Running under wine is no the exactly the same. But it might be okey for some. But I do not have the resource to do special testing and fixing for wine.
Either it works or it does not. If MC crashes and sends a crash report then good, but it will not tell me that it is a wine issue or not. And a lot of strange issues cannot be tracked down with only a crash dump so the risk is that wine issues will not be fixed.
I'm not sure how wine works. But If you can run a program under different OS compatibility modes. Try run it as if it would run on XP. Then a lot of the newer API's are not used.

Support and Feedback / Re: Pack selected files crash
« on: January 29, 2013, 11:07:17 »
Im not sure. But I think what is happening is that instead of recreating Pack.zip it tries to Include the new files to it, And since they already exists it tries to delete the old from the zip at the same time first. and things goes wrong..

I will take a look at it. (It should recreate the zip. not append to it. )


3466
Most Norton Commander clones follow the Commander style default key setup and there Space is for "select+folder sizing" and insert for "select+go to next".
Thats why the keys are what they are.

But MC also allows keys and mouse to be setup for Windows Explorer Style. And when using that setup the default keys for this commands maybe should be changed?

But it should also be possible to reconfigure it..

3467
1. If you press the "Insert" key you will select item and go to next item.

2. It is actually one of the most liked features. You can go in and out of folders without loosing the selection.
For example if you stepping down the list of folder and selecting folder to copy and you wonder if you should select a folder or not. You can enter that folder and check its content and decided if you want to select it or not, and when you get back out you have not lost all the other selection and can continue. But, depending on how you are used to work with files it might not be optimal for you. but there is an option for it. And if you get used to it you can't be without it. :)

Support and Feedback / Re: Problem updating 64-bit version
« on: January 28, 2013, 07:01:43 »
The 1671 bytes is the version information it get.
It looks like it never even start to download the actual update file.

Why it does not do that is impossible to say. Some AV, Corporate firewalls, ISP or other might block the request.

You can try to start MultiUpdate manually and then go into settings and there you can check
the option "Use IE User Agent" this will trick some to let the request through. You can also try "Use WinInet for download".
And if none of that work you can download the update file manually  (You see the link to the file in the window.. Just copy that. )
When you got the update file you then go to the settings page in MultiUpdate and check "Update from a MultiUpdate file" and then select the downloaded update file.
Then you start the update and it will do the update from that file.

Support and Feedback / Re: Swap Left and Right Panes?
« on: January 27, 2013, 11:04:52 »
The you have to use create a own command using MultiScript

Code: [Select]
@var $source = GetSourcePath();
@var $target = GetTargetPath();

MC.Explorer.Goto SOURCE={$target} TARGET={$source}

Ctrl+U will move each active tab to opposite side.

3472
I understand the issue. But I'm not sure if that is possible to add without major rewrites on how core stuff works.

3473
There are a lot I want to change with search and I'm planing to redesign big parts of it.

I will add your requests my list. And see if I can include some of them

Support and Feedback / Re: Title bar question
« on: January 24, 2013, 07:46:00 »
You see the [Admin] tag in the title bar when Multi Commander is run by an account with an elevated access token.
Processes with elevated access has admin access.

Thanks Mathias.

This works fine but when I select the ".." directory and execute this script I do not get the source path. Where as when I do Ctrl+P when ".." is selected I get the source path. Is there a way to modify the script to get the source path even for ".." directory with this script?

Essentially I am trying to have a replacement for Ctrl+P and make the script do whatever Ctrl+P will do but with forward slashes instead of backward slashes.

Thanks.


If current item is the ".." item then get current path else get full path with filename, just like Ctrl+P

Code: [Select]
@var $path = GetSourceFocusName();

if( StrIsEqual($path,"..") )
{
   $path = GetSourcePath();
}
else
{
  $path = GetSourceFocusPath();
}
