Support and Feedback / Bitmap (.bmp) Thumbnails

« Last post by LeoGrun on Today at 03:03:14 »

Maybe I am doing something weird or have not configured something correctly, however Multi Commander does not preview thumbnails for .bmp files.

If thumbnail data is already generated by windows, Multi Commander will use it.

Instead, I see the icon for my default image viewer in windows (Ifranview, in this case).

Is there a way to make Multi Commander show/generate thumbnails for bitmap images?

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Shaping the Future of MultiCommander - Your Feedback on Development Priorities

#3 Implement a search box field in the Aliases dialog to facilitate entry filtering. This feature is particularly beneficial when navigating through numerous entries (helps de-cluttering), akin to locating a needle in a haystack. The search functionality should ideally encompass both labels and paths. See screenshot (I have too many entries ! (Button Panel is full too !)):  P.S: The challenge is that aliases are typically brief, necessitating specificity in search queries to effectively narrow results. P.P.S: It would be optimal if the CommandBar Auto-Complete feature in item #1 could also incorporate Alias suggestions.

Wow! You got lots of aliases.. even more then me,  I think a search box can be added quite easy. Integrating it with auto-complete is another thing. Maybe later. Add it to my list as separate things.

for #1 and #2, I added them to request feature list. They are a bit complex. But I consider them when planing larger thing to implement.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Shaping the Future of MultiCommander - Your Feedback on Development Priorities

Hello,

- To use (and install when it is not present) the cascadia-code font (https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code) at least for MultiDataViewer default configuration.
- To have by default in MultiDataViewer, a powershell color syntax formatting that is imitates the syntax highlighting that visual studio code is using (it is quiet difficult to be exhaustive when creating our own).
   It may be possible to use their définitions ? https://github.com/PowerShell/EditorSyntax/tree/main
   It is true for the common file syntax in use actually, XML, INI (MC files), JSON, PY and Ruby.
- An extension to analyze disk space graphically and/or as a percentage. Some examples : https://www.info24android.com/les-10-meilleurs-outils-gratuits-pour-analyser-lespace-disque-dur-sur-votre-pc-windows/
- Format document in Multidataviewer for common files (XML, JSON mainly) without modifying / saving the file by default (option when closing the viewer ?)

Concerning the workflow, I have to manage several servers via administratives share to operate the same actions.
- The idea is via the GUI (no script) to be able to apply file operations to a list of computers (ex \\MyComputerName01.fqdn.com\c$\MyWorkingFolder, \\MyComputerName02.fqdn.com\c$\MyWorkingFolder).
- The active panel in this case will be a computer of the computer list.

Regards.

Just for some clarification

You do not want to configure it to use the  Cascadia-code font, you want it to automatically pick it as default if available ? (auto download I don't think I will add.. I don't want MC to automatically mess with a users system.)
Powershell syntax coloring are actually comming soon. Im not using it so much so when it is there. let me know how it works
Access to Text tools from MultiViewer is a good ide. I will look into that

The Manage multiple servers at once think are intressting.. Not sure how to implement it right now. Bit tricky. but very intressting, 
But can you mail me with more details on how you would use somethings like that. Copy one file and it is auto copied to all locations that are grouped ?  even delete ? rename ? what more? any ide and thougth you have around that would be great and I can see if something like that can be added. However It is a big and complex feature so can take some time to add. But I really like the idea.

If you are referring to "Show folder tree" then, no I did not.  All I know is it worked, did the update and it didn't.  Just updated to 3089 and that fixed the bugs in 3088.

Thanks

Support and Feedback / Issues with 3088 Windows 11 x64 Update

I performed the update to 3088 and now am having multiple issues.  Biggest issue is my files are not being listed when I open Multi Commander.  My default folders have been my download folder and a media folder with 467 files.

The next major issue is, if I go out of that folder and come back in, there is a 50 50 chance MC will crash.

Saw the post on portable version which seems similar.  I had finally got my columns setup correctly so please fix this soon.

I have very similar problems. I updated a few minutes ago.
I can navigate using the folder list and access files like that, but cannot use the 'go up' button to navigate through the folder structure. However, if I change the drive using the drive tab, then I can navigate the folders normally in that folder, but not the original. If I close MC whilst on that different drive, restart and go back to original drive, it sometimes lets me navigate that drive normally, but it seems very erratic.

Hope you can fix it soon. It's pretty unusable ATM.

I also found another possible problem. I went to downgrade the app so it was usable. The latest version was described as
MultiCommander_x64_Portable_(15.2.0.3077)
I download this and copy the files in to the correct folde. When I start MC it tells me there are other versions. I choose v 3086 as the latest available, but instead it updates to v3088,

Even if I mke a mistake, (I don't understand why I see dirferent versions available) an invitation to upgrade to 3086 should install 3086, not 3088.

Code: [Select]

Configuration --> Explorer Panel settings --> Display tab --> FontsIncreasing font sizes for File list and Folder tree should go a long way toward relieving your eyestrain, Garry. It sure helped me. And an increased size of the File list font also applies to the option listings in Core settings and Explorer Panel settings, making subsequent option changes a bit easier to find.
