Support and Feedback / Re: Problem with startup-tabs containing network drives

« on: August 26, 2022, 10:17:46 »

Let me show you:

Img #1: My Tab Session setting. This session, named "Startup", should be automatically opened. 4 tabs on the left, 3 tabs on the right.

Img #2: I have MC open with a number of arbitrary tabs.

I now close and reopen MC

Img #3: MC opens with 3 tabs left, 2 tabs right. All seem to contains C:\. It seems these are the same 5 arbitrary tabs from Img #2.

Img #4: I choose the Startup tabsession manually

Img #5: Tabsession is openend correctly. I expected this to happen on startup.

Img #6: Explorer panel settings

"Remember open path" and "Remember only paths to local hard drives" are not checked. So that should not be the problem.
However, while checking this I found that it looks like that the problem actually is that the tab-session marked as "Autoload this tab session at startup" is no longer automatically loaded at startup.

So new problem description:

"Autoload this tab session at startup" doesn't seem to work anymore.

Support and Feedback / Problem with startup-tabs containing network drives

« on: August 22, 2022, 10:21:51 »

Current version: x64 v12.1, build 2906

Since one or two versions I'm seeing a problem with my startup tabs. If I start MC a number of tabs are opened automatically. Some of those tabs contain network drives. This should look like the 1st image.

However, since on or two versions MC fails to load the network folders. The tabs contain the root of my local C drive. See 2nd image. Seems like a startup-timing issue. When I reopen the tab-session manually the tabs are opened correctly.

Support and Feedback / BUG: Copying file from ZIP/RAR to folder containing readonly files

« on: July 15, 2021, 13:53:28 »

This seems like a bug:

When copying files from a ZIP/RAR archive from within MC to a folder which already contains those files, and the files are readonly, then the copy will fail. You don't get the option to overwrite readonly files (which you do when copying files from a normal folder), nor do you get a warning that there were problems copying.

This is an annoying bug. It causes a lot of confusion when folders are only partially updated (or not at all) without any notification of a problem.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Various feature requests

« on: February 24, 2021, 12:49:25 »

Various feature suggestions / requests:

Explorer Panel:
- Add auto-complete-as-you-type functionality to path-field
- Allow View-mode options to be added as separate buttons, allow switching between details, list and thumbnails with a single click
- Allow user defined commands/buttons to be added to the toolbar buttons
- Configure color of gridlines, separately for horizontal and vertical lines
- Listview: Allow columns to be resized individually; automatically resize each column to the widest filename/foldername in that column
- Listview: If the rightmost column in view is not entirely visible and you select a file/folder in that column, the entire listview automatically scrolls the column into view. However: it's often scrolled too far, leaving the mouse over the next column. This is a problem when double-clicking. The 2nd click lands on the wrong column. (See attachment). A solution for this problem would be great.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Size display in KB

« on: January 13, 2021, 12:28:32 »

I would suggest that when filesize display is forced KB and the file size < 0.5 KB MC still should display 1KB rather than 0KB. I would only show 0KB when the filesize actually is exactly 0 bytes.

(I force my filesize display to KB rather than auto since I find different size units in 1 list confusing)

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Command line parameters: select file

« on: January 06, 2021, 12:27:54 »

Useful addition:

When using command line parameter /OPEN not only should MC open the folder of the path-parameter, it should also automatically select and scroll into view the file (if path contains a filename)

So MultiCommander.exe /OPEN "c:\temp\somefile.txt" should open the "C:\temp" folder and select and scroll into view the "somefile.txt" file.

Support and Feedback / Does Multi Commander autocomplete paths as you type?

« on: December 19, 2020, 10:44:50 »

Hello,

I recently discovered Multi Commander. I'm very impressed, especially with the speedy UI. Excellent.

Question: Should MC provide auto-completion of paths as you type, either in the Command Line bar, or in  path-field in folder tabs?
I seem to remember seeing autocomplete on paths working, but I can't get it working anymore (maybe I never actually saw this)
