    Like the galexy Note phone? I don't think so...

    Thanks. I will try some suggestions and get back to MC.

   I still wonder. Has anyone been able to send files over bluetooth using MC and still able to add new files to an on-going que?? Even with Explorer, I haven't been able to do this. Over bluetooth, the rule has been one file at a time or one bunch of files at a time! MC supports adding to on-going ques. My suggestion was it would be good if Bluetooth transactions had this feature (adding files to an on-going que).

   Considering my "portable device  problem", I'll try  to retry to investigate culprit settings, then try  updating to MC ver 5 (when  I have free time). If all fails, is there something like a log file I could send to demonstrate my case?

    Also I have been unable to que files up and keep adding to the que when sending them over bluetooth (to media devices). What are the chances of this happening any time soon?

    I feel honored having received a reply from the Master himself. Sir, my appologies for the unintended instructive tone.


  The media device problem I experience is real.  Refreshing the page dosen't help. Right now, only restarting MC works.

  Rephrasing, I suggest options be put in such that:-

1) QUICKLY draging files over a tab dosen't switch tabs.(While working with 2 separate MC  windows)

2) Control + double clicking over a folder opens it on a new tab.

3) Folder (and file) size are displayed along with other properties on press of a keyboard shortcut.(This way, only the required folder(s) are scaned at a time, and not the whole system) It is more difficult arranging many folders/files without folder size especially when  working with many MC windows at the same time. Right clicking on the folder, them accessing properties is one option, but only that l'll have to hold that in my memory...

 - I have always wondered, when it would be possible to go forward or backward in a directory by using the forward and backward cursor keys only. This has been my dream on a windows PC as far back as I can remember! Alt + back/forward cursor key, is hard work. Why the Alt??? I mean the guys a third wheel! 


  - Hovering over a folder does not show folder size. Size should not be a feature for files only.


  - Holding down control while double-clicking on a folder should open it up in a new tab.


  - In a 2 separate MC windows situation, rapidly dragging a file from one multi commander window into another will switch to the tab I had to drag the file over to access the main tab which was initially open (that is, the tab I had  originally intended to drag the file into). What I mean is, while dragging a file across the tab-bar, the initially open tab need not change if I RAPIDLY cross over any other tab in the tab-bar. So, the open tab prior to my drag and drop was was my intended drop tab, and not the tab I temporarily cross (but not hover over) to make the transaction.



  - Lastly, my main problem so far with MC. There is an obvious problem with windows Portable Devices (Removable Devices, portable devices, "WPD:\"). In my experience, removing and replugging a media device, or removing the device to plug in a new device results in a problem! MC would show the Media device name, but open up to a blank directory. When this happens, I have to restart MC and loose the last tabs I was working on. (And just like that another idea suddenly came up. How about adding an option to re-open recently closed tab(s)?. Certainly, some may frown at this for security reasons. But others may find this useful)
           Still on Portable devices, details of internal memory, and memory card are not obviously displayed in "portable device" directory. They should! Better still, how about adding a sort of "My computer" option (incorporated into the Pull down menu) that summaries key details of main things? It may solve the "portable device problem" I mentioned earlier, and more importantly give Cross-sectional summary information on key computer components.



I am happy that "thumbnails details" is been seriously considered. It will make a difference!

 Thanks again.  As at this post I was using MC v4.6.2 (build 1804) 64 bit.

I figured it out...

The only thing I did wrong was not ticking the "Quick search" box. Silly hun?

   One more observation. How about being able to make other file names with the same letter reachable by repressing the letter. For example in a folder containing the following files "Ca.txt", "Cb.txt" and"Cb.txt", it may be more convenient to go from one file to the next by repressing "c" on the Keyboard rather than resorting to the cursor keys.

Thanks for the help guys, I'll be in touch.

I'm still unable to locate a file by pressing the keyboard letter it begins with .

Do others experience this same problem?

In Explorer Panel Settings.
 Go to the "Keyboard handling" section and uncheck "Forward keys to commandline bar
 and for "Search keys" set it to "Letters only..)
 And if you do not want the Quick search box that pops up.. then uncheck "Search Field"

I tried the above. It didn't work. I think I know why .
 Pressing a keyboard letter locates that letter anywhere in the folder/file name, and not the folder/file name that begins with that pressed letter only. For example pressing "d" would locate the file "Adobe" rather than the file/folder "DvDrum 3".

 Also (and not very important), it will be good if Mc had proxy settings, so those of us using proxies can easily update.

      It would be cool if the press of a letter on keyboard locates a file whose name starts with that letter, instead of ending up in the input bar above.

     Pressing "control z" does not delete a recently copied file.

     So far, I am unable to PERMANENTLY remove the "ext" column. I am content with the file name attached to the file extension. I'd appreciate it if I didn't have to right click on the title bar and untick "ext" for every new tab I open.

     By the way, the windows explorer I use crashes regularly (Windows 7, home basic, 64 bit). Hence my search for more stable alternatives. I am glad I met Mc (v4.4 build 1725, 64 bit)!
