Support and Feedback / [BUG] Changing file and folder state colors

« on: November 07, 2012, 08:27:40 »

This happens with clean installation.

1. Go to Explorer panel settings > Colors
2. Check 'Use file specified background color'
3. Choose e.g. File and Foldet state colors > Files  > Selected (bk. is white, text is red)
4. Uncheck 'Use default background color'
5. Press [Invert] (sample shows bk. red and text white)
6. Press [OK]. You'll see that bk. color is now red, but text color is black instead of white

Feature Requests and Suggestions / 2 suggestions

« on: November 07, 2012, 08:19:38 »

1. When drive combos enabled for explorer panel and MC window size is quite small, buttons (tree, root etc) are not visible.

I see 3 ways to resolve this.
  a) Additional button (like arrow button in old MS Office toolbars) may appear which shows something like popup menu with inaccessible buttons
  b) Bar wrap, i.e. buttons which don't fit bar width should be shown at next line
  c) Additional toolbar (like drive bar)

2. Current file info. This was already suggested but it is especially actual now because of list mode.

In list view mode you can't see current file info (size, date, attr ...), so maybe a section in status bar can be used for that?

Support and Feedback / [Bug?] Remember open paths

« on: October 25, 2012, 10:15:01 »

I switched to list view and saved it as default layout. But if Remember open paths option disabled, after start Explorer panel has Detailed view. Is it a bug or by design?

Support and Feedback / User Defined Commands bug

« on: October 17, 2012, 06:09:59 »

1. Create user command, e.g. Test
2. Set its type to Multi Script
3. Check "Store script in external script file"
4. Enter full pathname to script file
5. Press Save

Result: MC terminates

Now launch MC, go to User Defined commands, select Test command. MC terminates.

So now you have to delete (or maybe rename - i haven't tried) script file.

Support and Feedback / Fast moving to sibling folder BUG

« on: October 09, 2012, 12:40:14 »

1. Enter some folder with many subfolders (there must be more than two columns in explorer panel).
2. Navigate no e.g. third column.
3. Enter some folder.
4. Press Ctrl+PgUp or Ctrl+PgDn.
5. Leave folder.

Result: explorer panel is unscrollable anymore (at lest by cursor keys) until you enter and leave some folder in the first two columns or parent folder.

Video attached (rename to .7z).

---

P.S. Although Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn are used for moving to sibling folder, they are allowed to be shortcuts in the keyboard customization. But don't work.

On the attached pic. you can see how the keyboard customization dialog looks after assigning Ctrl+PgDn key on View - Menu Bar

Where do s.493-499 lines in Application.MultiCommander Core used? I can't find. Also no comments on h__p://multicommander.com/LanguageChanges

Btw, why are Shortcuts again included in text? I thought they are now added automatically.

Support and Feedback / Open New Panels With Tree Visible (internals)

« on: July 29, 2012, 07:46:48 »

Press the tree button or Alt+Num* to toggle it.  by default it is always off.

So each tab has its own tree? Or just some attribute? I think each explorer panel should have only one tree and it should be either always visible for all tabs or always hidden.

Beta Releases / Multi Commander 2.6 BETA - Build 1142 - Bugs

« on: July 27, 2012, 06:29:49 »

Bugs.

1. When 24x24 icons selected for explorer panel, icons overlap each other and filenames overlap icons.

Beta Releases / 2.6.1125 Bugs

1. Picture viewer stretch does not always work correctly (see pics)

2. Localization.

a. Explorer panel s.435 "Selection status area" is translatable, but always displayed in english.
b. List elements "Show free space", "Show used space" for free space area are untranslatable
c. "View filter", "Network" and "Network browse method" are also untranslatable.

3. It is not always possible to open folders in the list by double click

---

Also with drive dropdown list disabled it is inconvenient to go to ftp, net or reg. One have to type "net:", "reg:", "ftp:" in the path field. Maybe add these buttons to drive buttons panel?

- Choose program and press OK.

Result: "Program parameters" and "File extensions" fields are cleared.

2. There are no translation strings for "Core Settings > Filesystem > Network"

Support and Feedback / Listview mode improvement

« on: June 18, 2012, 07:16:00 »

Look at the attached pic.

There are 2 columns. And extensions in the 2nd column aren't visible. In "other file manager" there is a solution:
when you move file cursor to the 2nd column, the first column is gone and the second takes its place. The rest files are then in the new 2nd coumn. And when you reach the last file in the directory, there will be only one column.

Support and Feedback / Line numbers in multiviewer

« on: June 16, 2012, 20:14:48 »

Just noticed that with "Word wrap" enabled line number is showed for the each wrapping of a line.
E.g. in AkelPad and Notepad++ line number is showed only once. See pic.

Maybe it is by design but looks a little bit confusing:)

Support and Feedback / Quicklaunch bugs

« on: June 16, 2012, 19:25:53 »

Quicklaunch bugs related to WinXP with themes disabled still remain.

1. Focus around buttons with "Allow - rearrange buttons" enabled (see pic)
2. When you move mouse to the edge of the MC window and get resize cursor, then move mouse back to Quicklaunch, cursor remains instead of becoming arrow

Script / _FindFirstFile strange behaviour

« on: May 14, 2012, 13:53:32 »

I have the following code:

Code: [Select]

$s = AskText("Enter file name", "New file.txt", 0);
Log(0, 10, GetSourcePath() + $s);
Log(0, 10, _findfirstfile(GetSourcePath() + $s));
When i pass exact file name fo _FindFirstFile function, it finds nothing. But when i pass file mask, it finds that file:

Code: [Select]

012-05-14 15:46:21.192 D:\1\New file 1.txt
2012-05-14 15:46:21.192 Script engine - _FindFirstFile : 'D:\1\' - 'New file 1.txt'
2012-05-14 15:46:21.192 Script engine - _FindFirstFile found nothing
2012-05-14 15:46:21.192
2012-05-14 15:46:32.052 D:\1\*.txt
2012-05-14 15:46:32.052 Script engine - _FindFirstFile : 'D:\1\' - '*.txt'
2012-05-14 15:46:32.052 Script engine - Match found _FindFirstFile found : 'D:\1\New file 1.txt'
2012-05-14 15:46:32.052 D:\1\New file 1.txt
Is it a bug?

P.S. Where can i find list of the internal commands like _FindFirstFile? I haven't found it in online documentation. Maybe i've overlooked?

Support and Feedback / [FIXED] Bug? in "Store script in external script file" option

« on: May 14, 2012, 12:33:51 »

Enabling "Store script in external script file" option makes it possible to choose script file. But when i choose file, nothing is loaded and file name field remains empty. If i then write script and press "Save", script is cleared.

The only way to make it work is write script file name manually.

Beta Releases / 2.1.0 bugs/wrong behaviour

« on: March 19, 2012, 05:22:21 »

1. Disabled option 'Remember selected files/folders' works only for same level folders. Example.

Code: [Select]

..
[folder1]
[folder2]
file1.ext1
file2.ext2If you select some items, then go to folder1 or folder2 and then come back, selection is cleared. But if you go to parent folder or other folder via command (address) line and then return, selection remains.

2. Changing keys for 'Go to top'/'Go to bottom' has side effect. I set Shift+Alt+T, Shift+Alt+B respectively and when i press them i not only go to top/bottom but also get files/folders selected. (I have Commander Look'n'Feel enabled)

3. It seems that Option 'Icon size' has no translation string.

4. It is impossible to go to parent folder of a remote share via 'Enter' key or DoubleClick. Example.
I go to '\\Computer'. There are 2 shared folders: [Folder1] and [Folder2]. If i go to e.g. [Folder1], then i can't go back by pressing 'Enter' or Double clicking on [..]. I can return only by pressing 'Backspace' key

5. Language export. I've just noticed that language files for extensions are placed in Config subfolder of each Extension folder inside exported archive. So simple unpacking probably is not the right thing to do. Why not keep original structure?

---

Btw, why do color settings for Folder tree differs from ones for File List?

Beta Releases / 2.0.0 beta bugs

« on: December 28, 2011, 11:17:31 »

Here are some bugs i've just discovered in 2.0 beta

I. Multi-Rename tool

1. Hints aren't displayed.
2. Live preview works even if unchecked.
3. "Error! - Name Conflict" string exists in resource file but displayed in english.
4. When you go from "Previous Rename Sessions" to "Renamed Files" list, the selection in "Previous Rename Sessions" is lost, so it is impossible to detect which session is selected.

II. File viewer

1. It seems that Auto Reload doesn't work. If you modify the file being viewed, it is not updated in viewer. Only when you select "Reload" and then click, the content is updated.
2. There are no translation strings for Selection popup menu (Highlight - Add, Highligth - Clear, ... etc)

---

UPD1: Module rules in Multi-Rename don't work. E.g. [N][?core.size] rule neither updates preview nor actually renames the file.

UPD2: Plug-in profile manager.
1. There is no translation string for the caption of this dialog
2. If you create new profile with the existing name (e.g. "Test"), no rename suggested. Instead a new profile is created, so there are 2 "Test" profiles. And when you save it, previous profile settings are overwritten. So when you open the manager again, there is only one "Test" profile with last settings and the first one is lost.

UPD3. File Types manger
1. [Reset] action causes MC crash.
2. It is impossible (i can't find out how) to save new profile
  a. [Save] does nothing
  b. [Add] suggests to save currently editing profile but doesn't save. You can press it endlessly without success.
3. Some (all?) original english translation files are ANSI although they have encoding="UTF-8" xml parameter, so e.g. in Picture rotating dialog Unicode degree symbol "°" looks like two symbols "Вє"

Support and Feedback / User commands, hotkeys

« on: December 05, 2011, 08:11:41 »

Hotkeys. See pic.

When assigning alias to the command:
1. If there is an alias with the specified name, another one is created even if existing alias has the same command. So it is possible to create unlimited number of doubled aliases
2. If the command already has an alias, and you specify new alias name, a new alias is created but not assigned to the command.
E.g. you have command with alias 'c1', then you change it in User Commands dialog to 'c2'. Alias 'c2' is created. But if you exit this dialog, then enter it again, you will see that command has again 'c1' alias.

Suggestion for p1. If specified alias already exists, then:
1. If it has different command - create new alias
2. If the command is the same - DO NOT create new alias

Support and Feedback / File operations

« on: December 02, 2011, 07:42:01 »

Security

1. Whatever i select in 'Add file/folder permissions', i get full control
2. If i apply 'Take ownership' on the file i own, an error appears 'Access Denied! Admin permissions....' If a file has other owner, no error occurs and change is done successfully. Maybe there should not be error message on own files?
