« on: August 02, 2011, 09:52:52 »

It is free for both personal and commercial usage. unless you are an evil person, Then you must pay , But since evil person are evil, I don't except to see any money from them.

MC did require purchase of license before. But when changing it to free and removing text that was referring to registered/purchase, some was missed. But they are removed when I find them.

So it is not just when you start it should calculate folders size. It is all the time. As soon as it finds a folder it should start checking the size for the folder?

Don't that slows thing down? Scanning the harddrive like crazy all the time, or are you settings a filter so it only do that under some path ?

You want it to start rescanning all the folder to get their sizes every time you start ?

Support and Feedback / Re: How do I change the default editor?

« on: August 01, 2011, 20:03:47 »

Very strange. I have been trying to make it fail. But Im failing at making it fail.

Only idea I have is that is fails to save the configuration.

If you go to
Menu > Help > Goto > Config Folder

You can see if the time of MultiCommander.xml file is changed when you save the file editor configuration.

Also make sure you do not remove the "*" under the "File extensions to use this editor"
* means default.

If the * is not there, it will not be the default editor, and it will fallback to notepad.exe when open, but the dialog should still show your changed.

If the dialog reverts back. then the changes was not saved. Or saving failed

A plugin for advanced mass renaming is under development.

But a limited mass renaming is already supported.

Menu > Tools > Rename > Replace text in name

It can replace a subtext in all the selected file with a new text.

« on: August 01, 2011, 17:37:34 »

And you can duplicate a tab with Ctrl+T

Duplicate tab will create a new tab showing the same path as the one you press CTRL+T on.

If you right click on a tab you will get a popup menu with the tab commands.

More script function is definitive needed.
And you got a good point about the functions you mention. I will add something like that for the next beta release.

If you have the need for any more functions just let me know and I will see what I can do.

Support and Feedback / Re: Copy files with long filepaths

« on: July 28, 2011, 07:48:15 »

Internally MC supports paths up to 4096 characters.

Support for long paths are limited. It works in some places and some don't. Multi Commander is using 3th party code for a lot of things. Like for example archives like 7zip, rar and so on, and they might have problem with long path. It has not been tested

The main functions have only been limited tested with long paths. when working with files on local harddrive.

Support and Feedback / Re: View Image or Media files

« on: July 26, 2011, 11:17:38 »

Right now it is not possible to configure external viewers for F3/view.
A workaround is to configure Edit to use a external picture viewer and use edit as view.
Another workaround is to define a user command that open the selected file with an external viewer and then assign a hotkey for that command.

A built in picture viewer and configuration of external viewers is something that is very high up on the todo list.

Support and Feedback / Re: File/Folder Copy

« on: July 24, 2011, 20:22:36 »

Windows build in copy is NOT used.  Multi Commander using it's own. Have it's own buffers and ways of reading and writing.
For example if target and source is located on physical different drives, it is copying using async mode (Write data on target while at the same time it can read from the source)

It is possible to tweak how this should work.
In the Copy dialog you can "Options>>" and then "Advanced>>" and the Read/Write Strategy can be tweaked.
However... It is not recommend that anything is change here, unless you really know what you are doing..

After you opened the button editor, You need to click on the button you want to edit.
Then the editor will update and show the current state of that button. Then you can change it and then click on "update changes" to save the changes.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: File copying-creating folders/subfolders on target

« on: July 21, 2011, 08:11:03 »

Don't really know if I understand.

If you stand in one location you want to show be able to change so it shown all files and folder and sub files/folders. Like a flat structure.

Eg if you have this tree structure.

 F:\File.txt
 F:\Folder1\File2.txt
 F:\Folder2\SubFolder1\File1.txt

then you would see

 File.txt
 File2.txt
 File1.txt

And if you select and copy File1.txt to G:\ it would keep the tree structure for file1.txt and
you would get G:\Folder2\SubFolder1\File1.txt

Is that what you mean ?

Support and Feedback / Re: removed file extensions

« on: July 20, 2011, 11:17:45 »

Yes hiding the file extension can be dangerous, I agree.
If showing the file extension in the 'ext' column is not what you want, you can have the file extension to be show in the filename or even in both columns.

Explorer Panel Settings->Layout.->File and Folder Display->File Extension :

3 options for that exists : 'Both in filename and ext field' , 'Only in filename field', 'only in ext field.'

List mode is planed and coming.
