Multi Commander > Feature Requests and Suggestions
Sort files and folders separately, Folders *last*
Cripple-resistant:
Hello,
Familiarizing myself with Multi Commander and it looks like a solid software.
There are a few things which are quite annoying/frustrating though.
For example:
There is an option: "Sort files and folders separately, Folders first"
Personally I navigate the directory structure using the tree and
when it is time to access/manipulate files, the folders being listed first
are right in the way of the files so it would be good to also have an option:
"Sort files and folders separately, Folders last"
Would that be possible?
How much time would it take for such option to be available in MC?
Many thanks in advance,
Best regards

Sad not to have even received a short "yes" or "no" answer after a month :(
It looks that the author(s) is currently allocating very little resource (if any) on Multi Commander,
that Multi Commander development has slowed down to a crawl and that MC is probably close to
or already in abandonware state.
Sad state of affairs because Multi Commander looked promising.
Fortunately I have found other similar projects where support and development are still active.
Hopefully Multi Commander author(s) will re-activate their project at some point in the future or
transfer its development and support to people who have the willingness and time to work on it.
Best regards

I actually missed this question.
Might be possible to add an option like. I add it to the list, and if it is not to time consumine I might be able to add it.
And No.. MC is not abandonen. I know it almost look like it. BUT the time I can spend on it is less then before becuse of my day job.
Also I been working an some fundamental changes that have taken a lot longer them estimated. since it was a lot more complicated to implement then planned.
When that change are in place add some other major features will be easier. I think..

Great news :) :) :)
1. You are still working on the project;
2. You are able to answer questions very fast if/when you want to;
3. You have put my feature request in your to-do list.
Hence my 3 smileys!
I have a few other feature requests but I will take my time before submitting them to you
as I don't want to overload you with to-do items right now as you have indeed unfortunately
currently allocated meager resources to Multi Commander.
But I would be grateful if you could implement the "Folders last" option asap,
that would bring such a big improvement to MC ergonomics :)
In terms of MC resource allocation, you are obviously a talented person who is
surely in demand for more financially-rewarding projects/jobs than MC and
that is fair enough that you've decided to allocate only a small fraction of your
precious time to MC dev.
But then why not bring some trusted people in your MC development team?
You could have them work on specific parts of the software for you and/or
help you with MC support.
This would help you boost both MC development and your project managing skills.
Have you thought about this?
Many thanks in advance for a quick reply regarding my suggestion about bringing
more people in your MC dev team,
Best regards

Even if you find people wanting to code for free, It would require a lot of time to teach and manager it.
Going open source is not really and option for various reason. Also just because a project is open source does not mean that a lot of people want to work on it for free.
Most open source project only have contributes from the original author. Only a very few project got contributions from a wider group. Specially complex programs like this.
So Sorry, going that way is not a option
