Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: button panel area

« on: Today at 11:47:52 »

Open button editor, then activate MC main window. Now press Ctr[+Shift] and click desired button.
Alternatively, you may enable Wizard Mode, press Ctr[+Shift] and drag'n'drop some file/folder onto desired button.

@wynford
You can create a custom command which activates the left panel, and then launch MC with the command line parameter -AutoRun=[your custom command]

If I get you right, you might need MultiScript function PathGetNamePart

It can be done via MultiScript (at least for some checksum types). The only "problem" is that MC doesn't allow UDC to be used as an action source in File Type setup.

Just in case... Don't modify MC's config files while MC is running

@python,
Did you create that folder manually yourself or it was made automatically by some built-in app? I mean if you manage to find a way to create such "strange" folders, it may give Mathias a clue.

I've never performed it myself. Try checking registry keys from this post

Have you set up MC as the Explorer replacement? As far as I know, it is not officially supported. And using MC in a single-pane mode is not officially recommended as well.

Support and Feedback / Re: MC using wrong app to open multiple files

« on: December 06, 2024, 08:30:40 »

I've configured PDF-XChange as a Launcher (Run/Open), neither viewer nor editor.
When I launch *.pdf from a "normal" panel, some lines appear in the Application Log (Debug/Full)

Code: [Select]

2024-12-06 10:26:39.056 Execute file item : "x:\path\file.pdf"
2024-12-06 10:26:39.076 ShellExecute returned without any error
When I launch *.pdf from RES1:, nothing appears in the Application log.

Some more to add.

1. It seems that the way of launching depends on Explorer tabs type.
E.g. from the RES1: tab my *.pdf files are opened in MS Edge (which is the default app). And from "normal" file tab the same files are opened in configured app (PDF-XChange)

2. If custom config settings are wrong, the file will not be opened from the "normal" file panel. And it's confusing when the default file icon is used. So you see some associated icon, try to launch and nothing happens. I think either the default app should be launched or some kind of notification displayed. Maybe MC should check certain settings at startup and warn a user in a some way.

In the "Search and Replace" panel:

1. Check RegEx option
2. In the left edit field enter "\(\d*\)\s*" (without quotes) leaving the right edit field empty
3. Optionally select Replace only name

« on: November 29, 2024, 20:41:13 »

Ok. I've performed some tests with GUI.

1. c:\temp\22;c:\temp\33 - files are found
2. "c:\temp\22";"c:\temp\33" - files are found
3. "c:\temp\22;c:\temp\33" - files are NOT found

And now the issue is reproducible in pure GUI mode without UDC.

1. Open Find files dialog
2. Enter some findable mask (files must be found for issue to happen)
3. Enter some path
4. Press start.
5. After files are found close the RES tab
6. Close Find files dialog
7. Now change path

Well, maybe not 100%, but almost each time

SEARCHIN is wrong.. one quote for them all.. not for each

With one quote search finds nothing, with the separate quotes it works.

view issue I don't know. look like after some windows update on some system, some ppl have seen that issue.. Not been able to recreate that

With usual navigation and normal GUI search I've never seen it before. This issue only appears with this command executed. Each time.

I've created a User Defined Command:

Code: [Select]

MC.FileSearch.Search SEARCHFOR=*.txt AUTOSTART HIDE SEARCHIN="c:\temp\22";"c:\temp\33\"
and inserted it to the QuickLaunch bar. The following is 100% reproducible for me.

0. There must be some txt files in "c:\temp\22" and "c:\temp\33\" folders.
1. Press the newly created button
2. Close the results Tab
3. Then change path. It may require several attempts

Results:
1. Explorer panel Settings look ugly (see pic)
2. Some item in the file list randomly becomes blanc. Refreshing the tab randomly replaces some oter item with a blanc line. Navigation via cusror keys can't skip that line. (see gif)

I had problems with defining multiple search paths in the MC.FileSearch custom command's options. What is the correct syntax for that?

You can create some UDC with desired search params, and then put it to the user menu or on the QL bar.
MC.FileSearch supports HIDE and AUTOSTART parameters

@Mathias, yes, I apologize. It also works.
P.S. But after changing desktop.ini MC has to be restarted, refreshing Explorer panel is not enough.

Yes, it works. Folder icons can be chaged via desktop.ini files.

You can enable "entire-row" Quick launch bar in the Core Settings > Layout. Then you can e.g. drag'n'drop exe-files on it and insert user defined commands.
