No. MC is showing how the actual content on what is on the drive and in a folder.
Window Explorer will aggregate data from different folder and show that result ( it will also include C:\Users\Public\Desktop\ ).

« on: November 16, 2012, 14:37:49 »
No.. png are useful for webpages, not application, You want .ico because it can have multiple icon of different sizes in the same file.

Good free icon editor.. Can import .png and create icon file..
lots of "free" icons for personal use.

No I got no tools for that.

You should see MultiCommander.exe running.
I do not know why it does not work for you. It should. You must have something running that block it or something else.

« on: November 16, 2012, 07:12:59 »
No. You can not use underline font in filelist part.. why would you? It looks ugly 
and also underline are used for other scenarios there. So it can not be used. Even if it should be used.. Don't. very bad UI design.

Support and Feedback / Re: FTP I cannot connect
« on: November 14, 2012, 21:43:10 »
That is a system error message from windows, that means that it finds a DNS entry for the requested domain name when doing IP lookup. But it did not receive an IP address in that entry.
I would guess that maybe you have a firewall\router that messes with the DNS requests ?
A workaround might be to entire the IP address instead of domain name.

It should work. MultiCommander does not relay on any 3d party module to be installed.
Maybe the download was corrupted, Try download it again.
Or you might have something running that blocks it from starting.

If it was to just simple automatically do a refresh it would have been done. problem is that the internal design does not allows that. The part that handle A does not know about B so thats why it is not auto refreshed.

« on: November 13, 2012, 09:10:13 »
It is often network or usb devices that messes up the performance. But some drive perform a little better with higher data chunks and other does not like it.
It is a try and test and measure game. (But system/drive caches can mess with the measurements)
Windows does not give many variables to play with all of them are exposed to the user to tweak with in the Read/Write Strategy options that you find in the copy to dialog.
MC will try to auto detect what read/write strategy to use. (based on src/target device types) and you can then modify them. In Core settings you can disable the auto detect. It will then Always use 'Normal' strategy for all different devices.
System Cache
If the Data that is read/written should be stored in the system cache. For large file you do not what this. for small file that will soon be read
again this is good.
But for writing it will also lie to you and say that it is finished before the data is actual written to the drive and if you are copying a lot of
data you might get short delays when everything looks to stop/halts for a while. That is because the system cache gets full and it now has to wait until the data is actually written before continuing.
Drive Cache
Use the drive cache when read/writing. This option is up to the device driver to support. some device driver will ignore it. On Large files you might get better throughput if you disable it. But it is up to the drive and device driver.
Chunk Size
How many bytes to read/write at once. For optimal performance the size should be divided by 512.
But to large chunk and it may block other operation and to small can be a waste.
Windows Default is 64KB. but some USB memory stick likes bigger and some network devices what smaller.
Sync, Asyncrone
If read/write are on two physical different harddrives then async copy will allow for writing while at the same time it is reading.
(of when copying to network from local drive)
But doing this when read and write are on the same drive, and the performance drops like a stone.
Internal Buffer
This is mostly useful if for asynchronous operation. So that multiple read request can fit in the buffer until it has to wait for write operation to finish.

No. not directly. To much information is lost using cut/paste.
It depends on you HW and/or settings. My computer is much faster using MC then windows. But it depends on what you read data from and write to and also what OS. and Windows does sometimes lies when it says it is done copying. It says it is done when it has written data to its write cache. but the data is not written to the drive yet. by default MC bypasses the cache. But you can tweak and change read/write strategy in copy dialog.

Not sure I get what you mean.
But if you press the "history" icon.. 3de icon after the Left right icon before the command line field. You will get a history of previous folders you been in.
This can also be shown using Alt+Arrow down

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: <dir> in the extension column
« on: November 13, 2012, 07:42:59 »
It is a big difference. You do not have file extensions on folders at all. So that space will always be used for the name.
For file it can be turned off. you can choose to show the file extension in the name column. then the Ext column will be empty. (You can still sort on it.)
and the name column will overflow into the ext col.

« on: November 13, 2012, 07:36:53 »
Quick search on date/time is messy because every region has it own way of writing time and dates. and it is messy
But the View filter does support date/time filtering a bit.
"!today" - only show file/folder with date from today
"-!today" - show all file Except the file/folder from today
"!2012-01-01" - Show file that are newer then 2012-01-01
"-!2012-01-01" - Show file that are older then then 2012-01-01
