Support and Feedback / Thumbnail Mode CustomIcons Not Skinned (Previews Issue?) Only Details View Icons

« on: January 17, 2025, 03:22:30 »

In my MC, the File Type Setup Icons only skins the "Details" view mode icons, not the icons in the "Thumbnail List" view mode. Wish it would skin the icons in the Thumbnails View as well, though I can understand that images etc. /w an associated Preview Handler capability would mean the Previews in the Thumbnails would stop working, & only the static custom Icons would display —that would be an issue ! Anyway, is this a known bug ?

Support and Feedback / Re: Hotkeys Not Triggering Often - Works For Short Periods Only !

« on: January 16, 2025, 05:51:18 »

Yes sometimes the Hotkeys does not trigger, but it happens ever so rarely for me. Also could be the built-in Picture Viewer —I switched to JPEGView app (on Github) to handle opening my image previews & had great success in doing so.

I would also like to address the issue of being able to re-assign Next/Previous Tab Navigate to a custom hotkey (in my case I want Ctrl+Page Up/Page Down to cycle between Tabs ! This would be optimal for my use, as it more closely mimics my Edge Browser shortcut key.

Support and Feedback / Re: MultiTag for Opening Current Focus *FileName* Only /w a Program

« on: January 15, 2025, 15:29:47 »

Thanks, I got it to work thanks to both of your help. AI helped write the MultiScript:

Code: [Select]

@var $name = PathGetNamePart( GetSourceFocusPath(), 1 );
MC.Run CMD="C:\\Users\\dell\\Documents\\fba64_029743\\fba64.exe" ARG="{$name} -r 1366x768x32"

Support and Feedback / MultiTag for Opening Current Focus *FileName* Only /w a Program

« on: January 15, 2025, 14:30:13 »

I need the MultiTag to open the currently selected file (via Custom Menu) to the app, without the path, only the filename without the extension even, and certainly not the full filepath. When I enter this in MSDOS it works: "C:\Users\dell\Documents\fba64_029743\fba64.exe garou" (without quotes) but in MultiCommander I tried both variants of ${focusfilepath}: ${focusfilename} (returns only the name of the file that is currently in focus, without its path) and ${focusfile} (identifier to return the filename with its extension) but they both don't work (I'am entering these as a User Defined Command (External Command) into Custom Menu so I can right-click a file & open the game ROM selected in the FB Alpha program, as a command-line parameter (it accepts filenames only, w/o path and extension.) Please help me find the right MultiTag/identifier for this.

Support and Feedback / Re: File Type Setup Entries Lack Persistence (Get Randomly Missing)

« on: December 18, 2024, 16:32:09 »

When you click restore. all your custom changes go away.

There is "Reset To Default" & "Reset" I clicked "Reset To Default" I think it only reverts the values in the current tab which is how I like it.

and there should be multiple items for the MCPictureViewer.

Also I replaced MC PictureViewr /w JPEGView so that I could cycle through images (but this is resolved now.) But some Entries disappear over time. Is there a requirement to insert paths in double quotes when there are spaces ? 😵 P.S: I think it was because I had wrapped double quotes around paths /w spaces. I'll let you know if it happens again. 👍 So far so good ! Resolved. It was because I had double quotes in my filepaths !

Support and Feedback / Re: File Type Setup Entries Lack Persistence (Get Randomly Missing)

« on: December 18, 2024, 16:20:58 »

Sometimes when I click Restore Defaults it creates multiple cloned entries of the Built-In Viewers, then when I restart a few times it perhaps gets pruned out & some Entries I explicitly made vanishes. I will report if it happens again, but I had 3-4 Entries in Launchers & 1 of them disappeared, & also some Textfile Editors I added. Needs to be more reliable, the File Type Setup, I'am just speculating, but if those multiple Entries don't appear when clicking Restore Defaults, then maybe the Entries won't get deleted upon next restart.  Even when I don't click Restore Defaults, it sometimes loses a few Entries.

Sorry for the trouble but I have a bunch of Entries in File Type Setup but they aren't persistent & randomly some Entries disappear, & I have to re-enter them constantly. If you could fix that in a future update that would be brilliant ! 😊

By typing ":goconfig" in command line field, it will go to the config folder that are used. then you see what config files it is using

Noice !

Well it is stable since it works for me and I cannot reproduce any issues.

Not like I have a test department. Stuff only gets fixed if people can report a way to reproduce it. So maybe if somebody else have issue with it. They can report it so I can reproduce it.

I understand. I have like 20 different Image Viewers, together /w K-Lite Codec Pack & Window Blinds 10, these things are bogging my system down, I had even more but I reduced the apps startup considerably. It's still overkill I know. I may be able to run some tests once it gets into Stable download. At first I thought it was only /w my MultiCommander which is old, but now even fresh copies are broken, & I removed the APPDATA\Roaming folder. These things take time, I won't prolong this matter further… Ty for making such a wonderful app ! 🙏

Yeah don't worry I'll use JPEGView till I figure it out, I keep tweaking endlessly, I might have disabled something on my system that's why. I use a lot of Group Policy Editor configs & stuff so… Also in Help About > It says it's in fact running in Portable Mode, must be a stray folder that got into MC startup. Maybe I can do more tests once this MC PicViewr Beta update goes into Stable, so I don't have to update the Portable when testing !

It say it failed to load image.. guess there are lots of none image files there

I went to a folder full of 22 .JPG images only & still same issue.

If settings are stored in APPDATA then you are not running portable.
There only different between portable and not is a default configuration option in app/config/multicommander.xml

Also what is the App > Config > MultiCommander.xml setting to make it run Portable that you speak of please ? Maybe because it's running from APPDATA\Roaming is why my fresh d'ld Portable copies also were broken when trying to cycle images. I will test further & try to fix this glitch, by duplicating the folder & finding the heart of the problem. 😲

It still doesn't work, but here's the Application Log when I'am invoking the PictureViewr & pressing Space/Backspace, & I gotta ask: why is it storing settings in APPDATA\Roaming ?! I'am running the Portable Beta version though. P.S: The second log in the same textfile is better as I experimented /w launching Images more /w it. Also could this be a Windowz 10 problem ? I'am running kinda low on disk space & I'am using K-Lite Codec Pack, if that helps.

Nah the File Type Setup is working flawlessly, along /w F1 key and View File, I'am just having the previous issue of not being able to cycle between images in folders (using Blue Buttons & Space/Backspace) using MC PictureViewer that's all !  I couldn't View File or press F1 because I had MC PictureViewer AND JPEGView try to run the Images at the same time (conflicting shortcuts assigned in File Type Setup) —that is resolved. Just need to get the MC PictureViewer to cycle Images in Folder, that'd be grand ! Everything else is O.K. 😎

I switched my Configuration > File Type Setup > Image Viewer from MC PictureViewer (Internal Extension) to "JPEGView" & now back to MC PictureViewer, & now the F1 Key won't respond or View File won't work on the images ! How do I fix this w/o resetting ? P.S: I fixed it from a Backup, but MC (buggy Custom Key Mappings ?) is broken. I'll wait for an update patch before I tweak the File Type Setup > Viewers.
P.S: Thee's nothing wrong /w the KeyBinds —I had conflicting Viewers for the same File Extension, that's why F1 Key wasn't responding 👍 But yeah the Images aren't cycling or being detected in the Image Folders —baffles me !

O.K. thanks, let's hope that fixes it —I'am really dying to use this new feature !
P.S: Like right now in my new throwaway Portable copy, the F1 key stopped working, & I had to do a reset in Quick Look & Feel. Somehing is definitely up, it could be the KeyBinds, but I'am not certain (nevermind this was because it was running Multiple Instances, got that fixed (still not responding to F1 key though, & the Keyboard Customization is not recognizing any existing KeyBinds !) Also it's sometimes cycling images from another Panel !

Also there is a typo during Update, says: Unzip update into into "C:\Users\dell\AppData\Local\Temp\MUTemp\Multi Commander5005".
It should be just one into.

O.K. I narrowed it down to SessionConfig, when I replaced that /w a copy from the Beta Portable, the Images are properly cycled & detected !! I'll see if I can make a transition to a working version of the SessionConfig folder without any data loss. Also I replaced Config + Extensions, but the bug still persisted. Now I need to find out what in the SessionConfig folder is causing the Images to not be detected.
P.S: I found it, it's a prob in SessionConfig\History folder !!!! Oops no it's something else, I'm still looking into it, now it says there's 147 images in Title Bar, I'll figure it out.
P.P.S: Now even the fresh d'ld copies are broken —they do not display the Folder Image Count in the Title Bar.

Space/ Backspace is working but it's not displaying any other Images other than the one I pressed F1 to View. & to answer your question, I do have AutoHotkey scripts running, & COMODO AV/ Firewall. I'll try singling out the config file progressively. The PictureViewer is only displaying one file, and the "[1/8]" pictures is incorrectly displayed for all my image folders, even where there's over 30 images ! This is what I see when I press Space:
P.S: I'll make a throwaway clone & test it out —see what I can find. By the way, if it was a conflict /w AutoHotkey or COMODO Internet Security Premium, it wouldn't explain why my fresh d'ld Beta Portable copy was working.

No, all the commands work, except for the detection of other images in the folder. The Slideshow doesn't work because it cannot detect other images, and the Left and Right Blue Buttons are broken because in the Title Bar it says "[1/8]" in every folder even when there's dozens of other Images in it ! I can see the Slideshow working because it flickers, but there's no other Images in the PictureViewer that is borked at this point. My guess is a Config file conflict (not a prob /w Win10 as my fresh Beta Portable copy works), but I don't want to lose any settings by needlessly resetting stuff. 
Gimme an hour and I'll narrow it down to the faulty Config XML file.

Clicking the blue Left & Right Buttons in the Picture Viewer has no effect, I tried, in a bunch of different Images folders. The Slideshow button also doesn't work, and the Show Date/ Time button also does nothing (odd) !!! I stopped short of going to Configuration > Plugins > Rebuild Config. Anways I will try downloading a fresh Beta Portable & testing it. I'm using the Portable Beta latest version ! Maybe it's because I'm using Windows 10 ? (Enterprise Edition) & my default Image Viewer is JPEGView.

P.S: Works well in a fresh Beta updated Portable copy, but on mine it permanently says "[1/8]" in the TitleBar next to the filename in EVERY folder & doesn't cycle between images, just a blank image if I click Next. Any solutions ?

So it cuts the text 1-2 character to late ?

I'll have to check, I think in some files it's a lot more (like the Word Wrap is completely disregarded, but I'll have to confirm later on this)....
P.S: Yeah I think it's 1-2 characters, I can verify. 
P.P.S: It's a whole lot more than 1-2 characters, in some cases, also that's the best-case scenario, in ASCII mode the Word Wrap doesn't work at all ! UTF-8 Mode is a lot more efficient though.

Might be possible to add option for setting an optional extra right margin.

That would be ideal, thanks !


I'll test in a fresh copy of MultiCommander & see if the Word Wrap is preserved… I'll report what I find… I suspect it doesn't recognize the font so it doesn't know how to wrap, but I'am just speculating… Word Wrap Fixed Width isn't applied until you relaunch the MultiDataViewer, but aside from that, it's working pretty well on 115 characters Fixed Width ! 😁 The default setting of 80 is probably best, I see no text overflow under this, so I'll keep it, till you add a Wrap To Window option !

✅ P.S: Please ensure that other Encodings also are Word Wrapped to Window, not just the UTF-8 which is usually the most reliable Word Wrapped Encoding.

It could be my custom WindowBlinds skinned ScrollBar that's 'causing the text to overflow to outside the Window area. It would be nice if the text was Word Wrapped To Window, as I read a lot of texts in MC ! I'am using a custom downloaded Google Font called "Audiowide" by the way...

P.S: I have reported a similar issue, the Icons in my Explorer Pane sometimes are cut off at the bottom, perhaps 'cause I use a custom Font & ScrollBar /w WindowBlinds 10 skinning app.
