Support and Feedback / Re: Does this program sort thru photo files?

« on: August 16, 2011, 15:56:19 »

Multi Commander is not optimized for working with photos.

You can however show the meta data from photos as columns,
and there are tools for renaming multiple files.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Typing first letter of file/folder name

« on: August 06, 2011, 14:25:03 »

Maybe it is possible to make. Right now it will go to what ever you type.  if you type "MyFFF" it would find MyFFFile.txt for example. it might not be possible if it would move to next file if same letter are pressed.  It might be possible to tweak this a bit. I will give it more thought, and see what I can do

Have checked the code and there is a bug. I will fix that for the next release.

Support and Feedback / Re: making multi commander default

« on: August 03, 2011, 08:25:22 »

You can not replace it as the default shell in window. If you did that all your desktop icons will go away, and some of the feature in Multi Commander depends on Windows Explorer.

It might be possible top tweak Windows Explorer so that when clicking on my computer or folder. Mulit Commander would open.
But I don't know exactly how to do this. It has something to do with changing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder in the registry.
You can try google for that, But I do not recommend messing around in the registry like that, unless you really know what you doing. If you do decided to change things there. Make a backup first.

Support and Feedback / Re: Relative paths

No there is no constant for that.. I might add some for the next release.

You can try to edit the config file manuall.

"Menu > Go to > config folder" and  then edit MultiCommander.xml

The find the editors tag and change that

eg

<editors>
    <editor name="Notepad2" cmd="..\n2\notepad2.exe" parameters="${filepath}" ext="*"/>
</editors>

I got it working with notepad2

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Change font size of path bar

« on: August 02, 2011, 17:00:27 »

You can.. sort of.

It is the font for 'Path' in the configuration. However, there is a bug so that the height of the path field is not changed. So if the font is to big it will be clipped.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Need better documentation of Explorer Panel Settings Layout

« on: August 02, 2011, 16:57:59 »

You right

The documentation could be better, I got a long list with documentation stuff I should improve. I will put you recommendations on that list.

Unfortunately I had to prioritize bug fixing over writing documentation. But I will update the documentation when I get some time over.

The expiration date is when the program will force the user to update to a newer version.

This because I do not want to receive bug reports, crash reports and issues for old versions, because thous issues are most likely already fixed.

File Editor Setup dialog when configuring what file editor to use. Type in a path that are relative to the installation path of MC.

for your example that would be

eg  "..\fastEditor\fastEditor.exe"

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.
