Support and Feedback / Right-Click ContextMenu Key Broken In 64x64 Mode + Tab Navigate Hotkeys Unlisted

« Last post by total_annihilation00 on Yesterday at 13:19:09 »

Bug #1
When using 64x64 Thumbnail Mode, the 'Right-Click Menu Keyboard Key' (I have that as a special key on my Dell keyboard next to the Function Key (it's a laptop)) doesn't open the Right-Click Menu sometimes. On 96x96 Thumbnail Mode it's functional & works always in Detailed List Mode though . If you could fix this in a future update that'd be great !
P.S: I was able to pinpoint+replicate the issue:: It happens when the caret is on the first item 'Move To Upper (Empty Arrow) Directory' thumbnail, if you move the caret to an actual File\ Folder & then switch between Tabs, the Right-Click Menu appears ! So there's a prob /w the caret being on the first item 'Move To Upper (Empty Arrow) Directory' box initially. If you want a screenshot to demonstrate I can do so … 
P.P.S: It works sometimes, doesn't work other times !  :'( <~~ Nvm I fixed this by checking 'Show Context Menu on '..' Item" !!

Bug #2
I don't see the 'Keyboard Customization' hotkey for Switching Tabs: that is, I don't see the Ctrl+Tab and the Ctrl+Shift+Tab for moving backwards and forwards between Tabs listed there. I want to change the hotkey to Ctrl+Page Down and Ctrl+Page Up that's why. 

Bug #3
When I use the " -AutoRun=AutorunCmd" command-line parameter in the MC shortcut (to View the Full Pane), my tabs get reset and there's only 1 tab !!  I have the shortcut running as Admin, maybe that has something to do with it ?

Thanks Jungle,
Remember split size;  I was thinking the other way around, not configuring it is better ;-)
And columns autosize is what I will try out for a while. Looks good thoug!

I always have to re-adjust my panels to 50%/50% when starting MC. Where can I set that the % of panel width is always 50%/50%?

There's an option under Menu Configuration > Core settings > Layout > Application layout > Panel Tab > Remember split size
With this option disabled MC should always restore 50/50 ratio

Also I would like to be sure then that column with is also sizing according to panel width (that is wider when panels width get bigger) and where to configure that?

Menu Configuration > Explorer panel settings > Display > Sorting and columns > Autosize columns

Support and Feedback / Re: Saving of panel widths/split sizes not working.

I tried to create a shortcut to MC on the desktop and input:
"C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\MultiCommander.exe" -AutoRun=Core.1206

It doesn't work.

It does work, but you have to create a User Defined Command. So you go to Configuration > User Defined Commands, create a command named e.g. AutorunCmd:

Code: [Select]

Command type = Internal Commands
Module = Multicommander (Base)
Command = Full Pane width
Then in the shortcut params specify -AutoRun=AutorunCmd


EDIT. You may also create UDC of type MultiScript:

MC.RunCmd ID="Core.1206"

The split size is not save if you totally or almost hide one of the panels.

I tried to create a shortcut to MC on the desktop and input:
"C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\MultiCommander.exe" -AutoRun=Core.1206

Core.1206 is the Command code for "View - Full pane width". I hoped that it would be possible to execute a MC command to get a full pane startup layout without pressing CTRL+F11. It doesn't work. This could be useful and probably it is already possible but I don't know how to do it.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Folder Tree Suggestions

« Last post by Ludde on April 15, 2024, 23:28:08 »

Hello, I just found this impressing software. I'm a keyboard user and do not want to use the mouse unless when I really need to. I also like to use both the Tree and the Explorer panel at the same time. Using a smaller laptop without a numpad I redefined Caps-Lock to Numpad / to be able to switch beetwwen the tree and the list. It works fine but it would really be nice to have the possibility to use some of the most important shortcuts when using an Explorer replacement program. I'm talking about Delete, CTRL+C, CTRL+X, CTRL+V and the Context Menu button. I understand that the main focus is the Explorer panel but Implementing this behaviour as a configuration option would be really nice and making Windows Explorer obsolete.

Nothing happens (at least for me) when pressing the Context Menu button in the Tree. You could argue that the user could be confused with if the context is the folder in the Tree or an item in the list. To help the user distinguish between these two alternatives the current context could be shown at the top of the Context Menu. I believe that MC have full control of the menu content. The same "confusion" could occur with the other keys (I personally think though that if you have set this behaviour it would be expected). Helping the user identify Clipboard content, the program could show what is put in the Clipboard on the status line. Shown there for about X seconds. I know that the Clipboard buffer can contain an "unlimited" amount of data but some "clipped" text or other info could be used.

Support and Feedback / Re: Crashed when moving files on the same panel

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on April 15, 2024, 10:46:02 »

I have been doing more tests and I have discovered that it fails by doing the following:
- Copies and movements using drag&drop within the same panel.
- Copy and move using CRTL-C & CRTL-V
These two fail quite often.

Copies and movements between different panels only fail using drag&drop.

I cannot recreate any issue with drag and drop copy.  What are special with how you do it? Something that are unique for you system.  ?
Do you drag from special device and drop on other special. ? Is it just from normal file on disk to another folder on another drive?

Beta Releases / Re: Copy to zip: skip all doesn't work.

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on April 15, 2024, 07:44:14 »

This post is moved to Beta Version section
Since it is about the auto handing of error, and that had major changes in the Beta..

Yes Zip and some other extension do not support the new error handing yet.
