« on: March 09, 2021, 19:46:30 »

Hi,
I am developing Ultimate File Manager Project.
Thanks to Mathias (thank you again) I could add to my project our favourite file manager - Multi Commander.

As I wrote in project description:
"...Ultimate File Manager (UFM) is an advanced File Manager distributed with carefully selected and configured freeware applications. The purpose of UFM project is making the best environment to run your favourite applications within one place. Main application of the project is well-known and appreciated Total Commander File Manager (shareware) or its freeware equivalent Multi Commander. UFM lets you manage all of your files and applications in best and simplest way. This properly configured, easy to use and very powerfull environment gives you the best experience, whatever you want to do!..."

Here is the project website: https://pawelporwisz.pl/ufm/ufm_en.php

Give it a try. If you like it, share and joy If you really like it - donate .

What should I add to make it better? What is your expectation from project like this?
Thanks for any idea and comment.

Support and Feedback / DarkMode Question

« on: February 17, 2021, 23:14:07 »

Mathias,
Thanks for explanation.

I have got one more question and one potential problem...

1. Is it possible to change interface Dark Mode color? I can not find any option for this. It is a bit to light for me (just a bit). It is #383838 - I would like to use #191919 (for example). Could you add possibility to change it via options?


2. I use Coloring Rules. One rule is to show last used files (<1h). It works, but sometimes it deactivates without any reason (it works again if I change directory or refresh (F2)).

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Dark Mode

« on: March 27, 2019, 16:41:17 »

Mathias,
Dark Mode seems to be popular now. Could you add such functionality to MC?
As far as I know MC is written in Delphi. It is very easy to add support for VCL styles, so application could have Dark Mode (for example default Carbon style is nice).
How do you think?

Support and Feedback / Multi Commander Custom Menu (issues!)

« on: June 29, 2018, 20:18:51 »

@Mathias (Author)
@All of You

I would like to ask you for help.
I am creating custom menu for Multi Commander (using NSIS) for my UFM project.
I create UserMenu.xml file and UserDefinedCommands.xml.

Here is my UserMenu.xml file: http://www.meggamusic.co.uk/shup/1530295428/UserMenu.xml
Here is my UserDefinedCommands.xml file: http://www.meggamusic.co.uk/shup/1530295450/UserDefinedCommands.xml

PROBLEM:
Multi Commander do not display some of menu entries (the last ones => Programy -> Narzędzia -> Universal Extractor 2 -> Submenus and all next).
Have no idea why... Bad GUID's? To many entries? Bad file encoding?
Could you please take a look?


How I make GUID:

Code: [Select]

###############################################################
# MC: GUID
###############################################################
!define UFM_CREATE_GUID "!insertmacro UFM_CREATE_GUID"
!macro UFM_CREATE_GUID "RESULT"

;GUID -> {XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}
System::Call 'ole32::CoCreateGuid(g .s)'
Pop "$0"
${WordReplace} "$0" "{" "" "+" "$0"
${WordReplace} "$0" "-" "" "+" "$0"
${WordReplace} "$0" "}" "" "+" "$0"
${StrFilter} "$0" "-" "" "" "$0"
Push "$0"
Pop ${RESULT}

!macroend
Multi Commander Custom Menu Editor shows this "empty" entries correctly.

Support and Feedback / Multi Commander - Run with parameters

« on: August 02, 2017, 12:34:01 »

Hi,
I want to ask you about Multi Commander Command Line.

I am trying to make it work like Total Commander does (I want to use it for AutoPlay actions toadd to registry).
Could you please write here if this is possible to:

Task 1: Run Multi Commander in NEW WINDOW (new instance) in RIGHT PANEL in NEW TAB
Total Commander: TotalCmd.exe /N /R /T="%1" (/N=New window, /R=Right Panel, /T=Open in New Tab)
Multi Commander:

Task 2: Run Multi Commander in EXISTING WINDOW (if MC is already opened) in LEFT PANEL in NEW TAB
Total Commander: TotalCmd.exe /O /L /T="%1" (/O=Existing window, /L=Left Panel, /T=Open in New Tab)
Multi Commander:

Task 3: Run Multi Commander in NEW WINDOW in RIGHT PANEL in EXISTING TAB
Total Commander: TotalCmd.exe /N /R="%1" (/N=New window, /R=Right Panel)
Multi Commander:

Is this possible in Multi Commander?
I know there is /OPEN to use  already running instance of Multi Commander (like /O in Total Commander)
I know ther is /L or /R for LEFT or RIGHT Panel (like in Total Commander).
How about tabs? Is it possible to create NEW TAB or USE EXISTING ONE?

Could someone write me the correct command line for Multi Commander for those example 3 tasks?
Thanks!

Support and Feedback / Creating User Defined Menu Items

« on: January 25, 2017, 13:15:26 »

Hi,
I am new to Multi Commander. But, it will soon change
I have a question... I am creating user defined menu, with menu commands (running programs).

I need to open directory in Multi Commander Explorer Panel (not in Windows Explorer).
How to do this?

What I do:
Defining User Command:

  <userdefinedcommand name="Open Directory" id="3c7cf12e862c4b38b1aacf8b25bd61ba" type="external">
    <tip>Open directory...</tip>
    <command>C:\Users\Pawel\Desktop</command>
  </userdefinedcommand>

And use it in Menu:
<menuitem name="Open Directory" id="3c7cf12e862c4b38b1aacf8b25bd61ba"/>

It works, but it open directory in Windows Explorer!
I want to open it in left or right panel of Multi Commander...

I hope it can be done easily...

Thanks for help,
-Pawel
