New filesystem scanning.
1. Go to 'big' folder like x:\windows or x:\users (tens of thousands; actually I can't provide more accurate values)
2. Switch to List View
3. Enable Flat View
4. After scanning scrolling via keyboard gets broken. Cursor can be moved but file list is not scrolled until scrollbar is clicked.

View mode switching.
After changing view mode via UI (clicking btton and choosing mode from menu) focus remains onto panel with buttons (root/view mode/free space/device dropdown). I think it should go onto the active file panel.

Hotkeys
If Quick Search is done via Ctrl+Alt+[Letter] or Alt+[Letter], then other Ctr+Alt+ (Alt+) based shortcuts don't work. I think MC should warn a user in both cases:
a) in Customize keyboard wizard when user tries to set Ctrl+Alt / Alt based shortcut while the same Quick Search is enabled;
b) in Explorer Panel settings when user tries to set Ctrl+Alt / Alt based Quick Search while having the same based shortcuts.

P.S. Flat view was tested on Intel i-5 3570 CPU, 8 Gb RAM, Win7 Enterprise.

But if I just pack empty folder without filter, it is added to archive.

Support and Feedback / How to set packer filter properly to keep empty folders?

« on: July 14, 2016, 10:57:53 »

E.g. i have the following file/dir structure:

Code: [Select]

\txt
  1.txt
  2.txt
1.dat
2.dat
3.txt
If i set pack filter to "-*.txt" then archive will not have txt folder. But i want that folder to be in the archive even it's empty. What is the proper filter?

If you mean QuickSearch but not ViewFilter then pressing Esc should work

Just one addition. You may also create filter (Configuration > Filters...) and use

Code: [Select]

MC.Explorer.Selection.Select FILTERID=your_filter_id

AFAIK, custom commands support only one command. So to perform multiple action you probably should use MultiScript

Try space instead of semicolon

But if nothing happens, Then it will probably go out on tomorrow  (8-May).

So there will be no "Language changes" post? Do you plan it for "more serious" release?

Script / Re: CopyFile has me Beaten

It fails because you're trying to copy non-existing file ($copytext).
CopyFile seems to copy existing file/folder to existing path

You may save/load tabs. See here
It is also possible to use startup file and/or startup User command. See here

The program have to assume/guess that the files belong together and I think that can be dangerous. and lead to issues..  Maybe..

Just to clarify. I meant if USESHELL applied then MC should perform copy via Windows shell API.

You still can have [almost] the same behaviour with MC (tested on Win7), but you'll have to use Ctrl+C/Ctr+X/Ctrl+V instead of F5/F6

Mathias
Actually, this is possible in Win7. See here

BTW, an option may be added to custom commands Copy/Move/Delete like USESHELL which would perform file operation via Explorer. It could make writing user script an easier task.

What about

return "\"" + $args + "\"";or

Code: [Select]

@var $args = "\"" + GetArgs() + "\"";

Imagine:

Code: [Select]

[NAME_files]
NAME.html
If i understand correctly, abrogard wants MC to automatically copy/move [NAME_files] folder when he copies/moves NAME.html

I've already suggested using Decimal/Binary prefixes.

1 kilo == 1000
1 kibi == 1024

1 kilo can't be 1024.

That screenshot from XP ?? damn XP is ugly

No. It's Win7 with disabled themes. I don't like themes.

There is a point with unification.
But the problem is to have a lot of disabled things there, Then some user going to complain why can't I do this and this there. I see the option but can change them.
For now it will not change..

The slogan of MC is 'File management for Professionals', so there is no need to disable something.

Anyway, I don't ask to implement it in the next RC or release. Just an idea.

FileTypes ? So when editing a file if the file is a *.txt file and it is older then 2006 open it with notepad++ ?  Hmm
Not really seeing the use case for using it with file types. There might be some very uncommon case for it.

In case of File types some UI elements in Adv. filters dialog might be disabled, e.g.:

• Only File matching tab is visible
• Include and Exclude combos are disabled(grayed) and are Extension part/Is
• File content is disabled

The reason is unification. Same way of managing, same UI, less code, less mistakes etc. From my point of view of course.

File coloring uses adv. filters, File search uses them too. So the next step is integrating adv. filters with File Types

1. I have no error in v5.9

2. If I understand your task right, you do wrong thing. You should either add separate search and replace patterns for each letter

Code: [Select]

search = ж
replace = zh
or press [...] and add single block

Code: [Select]

|_
а|a
б|b
в|v
г|g
д|d
е|e
ж|zh
з|z
и|i
й|y
к|k
л|l
м|m
н|n
о|o
п|p
р|r
с|s

у|u
ф|f
х|h
ц|c
ч|ch
ш|sh
щ|sch
ы|y
ь|j

P.S. This is for non-RegEx search. I haven't tried RegEx.
