Please add option to MC viewer to re-use the same window instance when viewing multiple text files.  Currently, each time the viewer is activated, it spawns another new window. While sometimes it's useful to view and compare the contents of 2 files side-by-side, I'd like the option to control spawning multiple windows and re-use the same window.

Suggest calling the option something like:
[ x ] Open viewer window using a single instance

Thanks

Hi Mathias,

I noticed when viewing a text file with the built-in viewer, (F1), the expected mouse wheel scroll behavior is reversed.  Spinning the mouse wheel DOWN (toward me) should scroll the text content down, not up. 

Fixing this would make MC consistent with the existing scroll behavior in the file explorer panel (when there are many files in a single directory).  Scrolling down should move down, and scrolling up should scroll up.

Please consider fixing this in next beta.  Thanks!

Using latest beta MC x64 v8.9 Build 2528 portable release candidate
OS: Windows 10 64-bit (version 1903 Build 18362.239)

GOAL: I'm trying to move a new version of an identical file from folder temp1 into folder temp2, but I only want to overwrite the file in temp2 if the file in temp1 (latest version by date/time stamp) is newer than the older file in temp2.  In other words, move file if  the datestamp in Temp1 > Temp2

PROBLEM:
MC hangs with the progress dialog open while moving duplicate files across folders using the IF NEWER option.  Screenshots attached. The issue did not exist previously.

Steps to reproduce problem:
  • In menu, select View > Split Size > 50 / 50 to use split view.
  • In left panel, create a new folder called temp1
  • In right panel, create a new folder called temp2
  • Copy and paste a test test file into temp1 folder.   I'll refer to this file as Russell 3000.pdf
  • Copy a different test file with an older date/time stamp into the temp2 folder. 
  • Rename the file in temp2 folder as Russell 3000.pdf
    Note: Be sure to use the *exact* same filename and extension as  the filename in temp1 folder, i.e. Russell 3000.pdf).  The date/time stamp of the file in temp2 folder should be different (and older) to demonstrate this use case. Do not copy an identical file into both folders. Temp1 file must be dated earlier than temp2 (old file). You can alter the date/time of the file in temp2, if needed, using the Tools > Change Properties menu.
  • Now we're ready to demonstrate the hanging when moving duplicate filenames
  • Go to the temp1 folder, select file Russell 3000.pdf
  • In the MC menu, choose File > Move and then click OK
  • When the overwrite warning popup dialog appears, take note of the file date/time differences. 
    Temp1 is the newest version of the file; Temp2 is an old version (date is earlier than file in temp1)
  • click IF NEWER button to move the file from temp1 to temp2
  • MC should simply move the file from temp1 to temp2, since temp2 file is newer.  Instead, MC hangs indefinitely, and no file is moved.  I clicked Abort after waiting a long time.
Attached is a portion of my MC File Operations log (2019-07-17-(1032)-FileOperations.log) to help debug "ErrorCode 10":

Please let me know if you are able reproduce the problem as I've described.  I've attached a screenshot of my filesystem core settings, in case that is needed. Thanks once again for a fantastic program which I use daily and cannot live without.  Cheers 🤞

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Google Drive support?
« on: December 08, 2018, 17:38:30 »
In previous posts you indicated Google Drive is not supported because the folder path cannot be identified by MC.  I did a search of my Windows 10 registry and found the reg location indicating the path to the Google Drive local folder.  Open RegEdit.exe and navigate here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Drive
Under here, the Path is shown on the right.  (see attachment below)

Now that we know where the Google Drive path is, I would like to suggest it be added to MC (like Dropbox and OneDrive), please.
I am using MC (x64) V8.3 (build 2469) on Windows 10.   

Thanks very much for your consideration.

Support and Feedback / Increase width of dropdown lists
« on: December 11, 2017, 19:34:58 »
Some of the dropdown list controls are too narrow to display the choices inside the control.   Can you please increase the width of these dropdown list controls so the full text of the option is visible? For example, I see 3 dropdown list controls under "Core Settings > FileSystem" that are too narrow (see screenshots below).   

I am using Multi Commander (x64) version 7.6 (build 2398) portable with a fixed font (Segoe UI 9 point semi-bold) which is very readable. My system is Windows 7 (1366 x 768 resolution).

Thank you!  Excellent software :)

I found a serious bug when deleting individual files stored in the root of my OneDrive folder!  If I right-click a single file in the OneDrive root and then choose DELETE from the popup menu, MC will prompt me to delete the file's parent folder (the entire OneDrive folder)! But it should only prompt me to delete the individual file (not the parent folder)

This bug only occurs when using the right-click mouse menu to delete a single file stored in my Microsoft OneDrive root folder.  If I use the keyboard (delete key) or the Delete button (F8), the individual file is deleted and there is no issue.  Also, deleting individual files from outside the OneDrive root folder works fine.  It only affects deleting individual files in the OneDrive root folder.

In the example shown below, I right-clicked on robocopy.txt (which is stored in the root folder of my OneDrive) and chose DELETE.   Why is MC is prompting me to move the entire OneDrive folder to the Recycle Bin?  It should only prompt me to delete robocopy.txt


I am using MC 5.6 build 2001 Portable 64bit Edition on Windows 7. 64 bit.

Please consider the following for the Device Dropdown list:

A config option to show the Drive Letter (H: for example) before the UNC network path to the mapped drive, which can get rather long in some cases.  The entry for the mapped drive entry should then look similar to a physical device like C:

I know there is a Windows registry key to ShowDriveLettersFirst for use with Windows Explorer, but setting this key to value of 4 does not seem to affect MC behavior.   I am using Windows 7.  Log off and log on, or restart the computer to apply.

Link to registry hack:  Display the drive-letters first

Can you make MC read and follow this registry setting like Windows Explorer?   Thanks for your consideration.

Wonderful program! I'd like to suggest a link to the change log be placed in either the HELP > ABOUT screen or as a separate menu item elsewhere under the HELP menu:

Thanks for your consideration

Support and Feedback / OneDrive icon is missing in toolbar
« on: March 27, 2015, 00:24:26 »
I'm running MC 5.1 portable (build 1917) - 64 bit edition on Windows 7.    I have Microsoft OneDrive version 2013 (Build 17.3.4726.0226) installed, which is the latest version available for Windows 7.  I have enabled the Cloud Folders (OneDrive, Dropbox) option in Configuration > Explorer Panel Settings > Layout.

However, the One Drive icon is not appearing in the toolbar.  I have tried re-installing One Drive and MC portable to no avail.   One Drive is working perfectly, but not with Multi Commander.  Any suggestions?   Thanks in advance!
