Post by: GrantSP on July 11, 2015, 07:47:19
Couple of things I've noticed.

1. Path is shown in tooltip, and there also is a path column to add

2. I'm not seeing an issue, What is not working ?  Show Flat.. press F2 to refresh original path.. (goes out of flat) go in into folder.

3. The Windows Shell menu is build by windows and not MC.
 I'm not sure if the shell menu support multiple items from different locations at the same time. I have not check it yet.. the whole Shell Menu thing is a mess.
 Maybe better to just disabled it for now in Flat view.

1) Yeah, fair enough. Though that does require the extra step of enabling or adjusting the status of tooltips in the settings.
2) Maybe not an issue but it is odd behaviour when 'flat view' is in the same view menu as the other views: details,list,thumbnail. Those change of views don't require a forced refresh.
3) Agreed, the shell menu will find it difficult to process these files, only mentioned in the hope you might be able to do some 'magic' on them and have it work. Easy workaround is just to assign a hotkey or toolbar application to load them, that works just fine.

1. Maybe Path column should be auto added when entering flat.  But if you already have a own column layout it will be messed up and there are some other issues too.  But maybe something like that

2. The location is temporary.. maybe.

Context menu if flat view  might maybe, possibly work better in build1958
(you might need to stand on one leg while jumping around your chair while singing for it to work.. or not..)

Context menu does indeed work much better. Files are parsed correctly by all methods. Excellent.
See, I knew you could wield your magic.
No jumping around a chair on one leg while singing needed... though I did use a small coffee table!
