Support and Feedback / Re: V12 - Archive extracting counter wrong

« on: August 25, 2022, 16:17:25 »

Mark all files, move from right tab to left tab, use Context menu, Extract...

Very Strange. I do not get it to show extra files. 
I select files and show context menu and do unpack (it shows same unpack dialog as File Menu > Unpack
unpacking a rar with 5 files  it say 5 of 5.. and one with 1 files  is 1 of 1, and selecting them both and I get 6 of 6


Edit: Ok I think I been able to repo it.. I don't get it everything..

Support and Feedback / Re: Problem with startup-tabs containing network drives

« on: August 24, 2022, 16:15:43 »

"Remember open path" and "Remember only paths to local hard drives" are not checked. So that should not be the problem.
However, while checking this I found that it looks like that the problem actually is that the tab-session marked as "Autoload this tab session at startup" is no longer automatically loaded at startup.

So new problem description:

"Autoload this tab session at startup" doesn't seem to work anymore.

I cannot find any issue with autoload of tab session , If I check  "autoload" checked..  it will get autoloaded for me ..

Is nothing from the tabsession loaded, or are it some part of the things in the tabsession configuration that is not loaded ?

The update is replacing the files, no errors in the log.. If you still got the same error that must be another install of MC then.
Make sure that the path you see in the log are the same as the one that you start.
(Or you got some sandbox security software that do not keep changes,)

Dont know why you need "Has Not ARHSDLCE3"
Works for be with just HAS 3 (symink) and one rule that is HAS 4 (junction), might be because of other rules. first matching rule will be used

Updated to 12.1
Newly created rules (except for Junctions & Symlinks) now do get applied on exit of File Coloring Rules Editor.

Rules for Junctions and Symlinks still not applied.

Strange, I have no issue.
I Create a rule for Junctions...    Only attribute for junction is checked.. "Attribute Has 4" it say..

Was it many rars that was queued, or from unpacking one rar archive ?
I cannot replicate that it double the number of items done from expected. In some situation I get +1 more in done than from expected count.. but not double the expected amount.

You will find that changes getting applied after reboot MC...

My color rules for junctions and symlinks are not applied after restarting MC.
They worked in 11.6 but don't work in 12.0
Occasionally in 11.6 they would not be applied on initial display of a folder, but a refresh would fix it.

Problem reproduced on 2 systems upgraded form 11.6 to 12.0
Also tried on new install of 12.0 on system which had not had MC installed before. Added new rule to color symlinks and/or junctions. Exit MC and restarted. Color rule is not applied.

Only Issue I find is that it is not reloading it when saved.  so a restart of MC is needed..
I dont find any issue with coloring symlinks and junctions

Beta Releases / Re: Version 12 * RC *

« on: August 10, 2022, 11:45:36 »

Yes, it always fit. But how about get current screen resolution and set window width and height proportionally and place window centered?

I don't see how it matters.  as soon as you restart you get the size and location you had before..

And there is an idea to how windows is handling it. Because if you open a second instance you will not get the exact same position, it will be be moved a bit more down and to the right, of each new instance you open.. so you will se all windows of all instances. on top of each other but every windows is offset a bit so you see parts of all. seeing that you opened x instances and not one.


But you can do it with script..

MC.CmdLineRun CMD=":setpos 200 200 1400 1000"

Then from your MultiCommander shortcut you can tell it to auto run a command.. with multicommander.exe -AutoRun=<Name of Command to run>

Mathias,
Could you please improve displaying Multi Commander window on first run?
On my monitor (2k, 2560x1440) main window is NOT centered.

Mathias,
Have you try to improve displaying Multi Commander main window?
I would like to remind you, that the window is still not centered. Window is not proportional.
Take a look how it looks on 2K resolution after installation (on first run). See attachement image.
As you can see - MC window is not centered.

Left edge distance (163px) is different then Right Edge distance (491px). Top edge distance (156px) is different then Bottom Edge distance (212px)
How about making it proportional for each resolution?

-Pawel

Well This is only on first startup. MC is actually not trying to center it nor place it, Size and placement is actually handle by Windows it self, all calculations are handled by windows so the initial windows will fit on screen.
But after first run. The window pos use is stored and used for next run.

Ref 12.0 b2901 x64 (Win10)

Had couple of incidents today after updating to this build
1 - right clicked on a file, dialog opened & MC locked completely, rest of system continued normally - killed via TM
2 - inserting a USB stick I have been using this week w/out issue, locked MC up for several minutes, killed/restarted MC & removed/reinserted the stick got round it.  Stick checked out Ok on Win10 diagnostics/repair.

Unusual behaviour for MC so thought I'd mention it.

1. What dialog opens ? Shell Context Menu ?
2. Look in the look Ctrl+L if there are any info, also security software can blocks calls from MC to resources it protects.

But if it locks up you can create a dump from taskmanger.  and then send that to me at http://multicommander.com/upload
make sure you zip / 7z it first. Then I can tell you what it is waiting for.. often it is some external issue, like Network or somethings

Script / Re: syntax for MC.Explorer.Goto PATH=ftp:mysite.com ?

« on: August 04, 2022, 12:15:04 »

Thanks Matthias.
But this is not ftp script, its just

Code: [Select]

MC.SetActivePanel PANEL=TOGGLE
MC.Explorer.NewBrowser
MC.Explorer.Goto PATH=FTP:\jcremers.com

So i don't send any path myself, mc makes those CWD itself, and they are incorrect, they should start at /home/username/domains/jcremers.com/public_html/

That is the default remote path then. It is configured in the bookmark for the ftp site

2022-08-03 21:27:47 = Server request denied

You are trying to change folder to "/domains/jcremers.com" and the server reply that there is no such file or folder
and than the same with "/domains/jcremers.com/public_html"

Beware that some FTP server is case sensitive.

lines with > is Commands MC is sending to the server.
lines with < is the response from the server

Support and Feedback / Re: Can't get MC.Filesystem.Delete to work

« on: August 03, 2022, 12:44:54 »

Thanks for the reply Mathias.
FILTER to MC.Explorer.Delete = more complex - I see, just wondered

CMD Reading different dirs:
I repeated this test multiple times because its results are so odd.
Opposite pane was different drive not just different dir...
Whilst wondering why I tried clicking on different areas of the pane before calling the cmd, eg <-... at top; lower empty space; different files/filetypes.
Each time as you can see from the item count it looked at other dirs both above & below. 
Maybe I'll try with more dirs & see where it jumps...

Anyway if you can force a scope lockdown that would solve it, even if it does not explain it

Don't really understand..  the folder is also included in the item count..  if you stand on test2 and run cmd..  test2, test2\file1.txt, test2\file2.txt  would be included. so 3. but then some of them would be filtered away

If the command is a normal "Custom command" type.. then you can not click while script is running. since it blocks the UI while running.

I find no issue except that you can run the command on ".."

A dialog could be helpful but only if the reason why the command includes other folders in such a surprising way gets caught.  Would adding FILTER to MC.Explorer.Delete be easier?

Adding support for Filter for for normal delete is planned but that is way more complex because that operation in done in a different way that support so much more

Somethings that I dont get..  is that if C:\Text1\test2 is current item in focus.. and you use USE_CURRENT_SOURCEITEM.  How you get D:\test1\test2\..  because ".." is only available if you are located INSIDE test2, When set test2 as item in focus then you are standing in Test1 folder. The only reason I can see this happening is that panel that are in focus is the other panel.. and you are showing the content of test2 and the focus item in that panel is the ".." item.

However ".." should not be possible to select.. I will block that.. if focus is on ".." it should not continue. else it will scan up the tree..

Translations And Language Packs / Re: German language pack - latest MC version

« on: August 02, 2022, 10:44:46 »

Zip-dialog profile setting ist fixed now. Thx.

Translation for "Password required" and "This archive require a password to be opened. Please enter password." is available but not used for that dialog.

The strings are new and should be used:
    <item iid="2165" text="Passwort erforderlich"/>
    <item iid="2166" text="Dieses Archiv kann nur mit einem Passwort geöffnet werden. Bitte geben Sie jetzt das Passwort ein."/>

But instead these are really used:
    <item iid="2160" text="Passworteingabe notwendig"/>
    <item iid="2161" text="Die Datei oder das Archiv ist passwortgeschützt."/>

Is this a bug?
UPDATE: Think it depends which archiv format is used. For .7z I have the behavior described above.
For .RAR I got the new strings, but need more space. See pic MC Archiv extracting PW 2.png

BTW, need some addition strings for that process for "canceld by user" and "wrong PW entered" dialog. Than all is finished for handling zip

Problem is that most of the support for zip/7z/rar is from external code. And tying it up with MC to use MC language text are a bit complex. many times that code does not have access to the language system.
and most of them do not say if they password is wrong.. they you return reporting that it fail to unpack. with generic error code. that can be many things.
and modifying external code is something I try to avoid because that will make it harder to keep that code up to date.

But will check what can be changed

Hmm Might be to dangerous function to allow delete so easy. Maybe should require a confirmation box. ?  maybe a "Do you really want to delete : <folder> ?" box ?, but the idea with script it to not have them..

@Mathias, just a thought...

You could offer the dialog by default with a "Do you really want to delete : <folder> ?" but include an optional NODIALOG parameter (similar to the Multiscript function CopyFile).

Yes i was thinking that. problem is that MC.Explorer.Delete is really the one to use if you want a dialog. Problem is that it does not support filter.
MC.FileSystem.Delete goes directly to the filesystem layer, and should not show a UI..  But might break that principle with this, fell that it is to dangerous to not show a warning by default.

Well thanks for the fun Mathias! 
You got me twice,
1. because I was using the earlier release without the updated function
2. it killed <20 files it found in the directory above the focused one.

No problem as I was able to recover them.  Only lost a zip with all my crypto-currency addresses, but what's $1.6m between friends....    
 ...A few more tests will be needed I think!

1. first version was missing some logging that was not included in the release. I also improved how it handled filters and if the path is pointing to file instead and folder..

2. USE_CURRENT_SOURCEITEM take the item that are in focus from the panel that are in focus (source panel). but it is important that the correct panel is active.. so it picks correct.
it should not pick a folder above.. it picks the one that is on focus. that the line marker is on..

Hmm Might be to dangerous function to allow delete so easy. Maybe should require a confirmation box. ?  maybe a "Do you really want to delete : <folder> ?" box ?, but the idea with script it to not have them..

Thanks for trying to make this function work Mathias.
I have just attempted to use this command.
I get Failed to volume item whenever I use it.
I've tried :-

Code: [Select]

MC.Filesystem.Delete USE_CURRENT_SOURCEITEM FILTER="*.zip; *.rar"
MC.Filesystem.Delete USE_CURRENT_SOURCEITEM "*.zip; *.rar"
MC.Filesystem.Delete USE_CURRENT_SOURCEITEM="*.zip; *.rar"
It does appear to try to action the command, but even with files selected doesn't like something & always gives that error. 

I have this

E:\Test\Test and in that folder I have

testfile.png
testfile.rar
testfile.zip

I'm showing the content of E:\test and focus in on 'test' folder ( E:\test\test )

I run the command
and it deleted all files in text except the *.png file.

It is the first alternative. filter must be set to the "FILTER" option and the item in focus must be a folder.
Where is the files located ? normal harddrive ?  or a virtual path ?
