Feature Requests and Suggestions / "Click and hold" also triggers "Click" -> Please stop that
« on: November 22, 2024, 18:39:54 »
Hi Mathias,
under Explorer Panel Settings > Mouse configurations, the "Click and hold" event also triggers the "Click" event, e.g. when I have "Click" set to "Open/Execute" and "Click and hold" to "Rename" then upon clicking and holding it will (in case of a file) both start an inline renaming of the file and at the same time open the file. Not what anybody with these settings could want.
I want to humbly request, please, for a "Click and hold" to NOT trigger a "Click". Many thx in advance for considering it.
regards, m.

Support and Feedback / Re: Problems with configuring selection behavior
« on: November 22, 2024, 18:21:54 »
Ok, I think I kind of figured out the isseu:
"Toggle selection" in Explorer Panel Settings > Mouse configurations is something else than / some additional behavior to the usual way of how items are selected.
It seems that the usual way of selecting items with the left mouse button cannot be changed (other than being deactivated completely)?
Under Explorer Panel Settings > Display > Selection and Checking of items I have some options that will influence selection behavior, but all these options will only affect the left mouse button. Is this correct?
regards, m.
EDIT: Maybe these options do affect both buttons and both buttons can actually select items. This is a bit confusing for me. But I hope.
EDIT2: It would be nice if I could deactivate all selection behavior for the left mouse button but keep it on the right mouse button.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Tab Sessions drop down menu
« on: November 22, 2024, 16:57:51 »
Hello Mathias,
it would be nice if there was a button that would provide a drop down like the sub-menu in the File > Tab Sessions sub menu (see picture).
I tried to find an internal command that would pop that menu to make a user defined command (UDC) that would pop it directly, but I did not find any.

« on: November 22, 2024, 16:07:52 »
ok, I found, how to do it:
MC.RunUserCmd ID=2578ac85fbad47f38ae5ab2f722e0112
The ID can be found in the right upper corner of the User Commands dialog (editing UDC dialog).

Or can we users "only" customize a lot of other things (e.g the menu and the button bar (at the bottom))?

Support and Feedback / Re: coloring rule for overlong file paths?
« on: November 15, 2024, 17:20:40 »
Nope. But I think I could now reproduce it:
When I inline rename a file (Windows Style F2), the path length is not updated automatically.
I have to manually refresh in order for the path length to update.

« on: November 15, 2024, 10:26:38 »
Hi Mathias,
In Explorer Panel Settings > Display, I unchecked "Select and Unselect when navigating over files and folders".
Then, in > Mouse configurations, I set "Left Click" to "Open folder", "Right click" to "Toggle Selection" and Right "Click and hold" to "Shell context menu".
It is really nice that one can - in theory - adjust the mouse buttons behavior in such detail. However, when I now right click on files or folders, it sometimes selects them and sometimes not. The behavior is not reliable. Do you have any suggestions how to fix it?
Many thanks in advance, regards, m.

Support and Feedback / Problems with Quick Search
« on: November 15, 2024, 10:01:38 »
The Quick Search feature seems to not work. I am using Windows Explorer-Style Setup.
When I start typing, the focus seems to go to some kind of (new?) field in the location where the status bar would normally be.
But other than that, nothing happens when I type.
I am using WASE (Windows App Store Edition).

Support and Feedback / Re: coloring rule for overlong file paths?
« on: November 15, 2024, 09:18:42 »
I had a case where an overlong file path was calculated as 200 chars, although it was over 260 chars long. (I temporarily displayed a column showing the path length.)
Thus, it was not colored according to the coloring rule.
It was a pdf file with multiple dashes, dots, underscores, and spaces in its name.
But for all other files in the same folder, the file path length was calculated correctly, as it seemed.
If you know of any way, Mathias, how to make the file path calculation more reliable, please do so. Many thanks in advance.

I also had to activate the color rules in the Explorer panel settings, but now it works.

Hi all,
is it currently possible to define a file coloring rule for overlong file paths?
i.e. if the path has more than 260 characters, apply the coloring rule

« on: November 13, 2024, 09:56:30 »
Thank you, Mathias!
That sounds amazing. Unfortunately I only have the Windows App Store Edition. I cannot switch to another edition, since my employer restricts that.
Currently, the date of my WASE is August 26 2024.
If I may ask, what is the update interval of the WASE?

« on: November 12, 2024, 09:32:20 »
Hi Mathias,
The split size right now is not remembered across sessions. It would be much better for me ;-), if it would get remembered, at least as an option.
Anyway, thank you for this good program.

So you want it to return directly if it finds any files. Not sure you can do that efficient with script yet.I have not yet looked at the scripting limitations. Are you saying that the script does not have a return command that you could call if it encounters a file? Seriously? Well, as I just said, I will yet have to look at the scripting. Maybe it works differently than I would expect?

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Color code folders based on empty sub-branch / MultiScript columns
« on: November 11, 2024, 15:19:51 »
Hello Mathias,
I am a long time user of XYplorer and am "forced" to migrate to Multi Commander because of restrictions bestowed upon me by my employer.
That said, MC seems to be nice and actively (maybe even passionately?) developed. So, the pain is already reduced.
One of the features, though, that I am very sad about to have lost, is the option to be able to color code folders based on whether their sub-branch is empty of files. Meaning, if the folder and its sub-folders (if any) do not contain any files, then color code the folder in a certain way, e.g. blue text.
Especially, when browsing a folder structure, created by someone else, this is very helpful. Sometimes also with my own folder structure.
In order to accomplish this, that logic must be accessible in the file coloring rules.
I also have an idea, already, how:
In https://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php/topic,4745.msg13685.html#msg13685 you mentioned:
With such a "custom column" implemented I could (hopefully) write my own script for that column, evaluating each folders content and returning an indicator in that special column (as long as I have a variable/placeholder for the item of each line (respectively, the current line,) that I can use in that MultiScript). Then I could base my coloring rule on that column's value - as long as the coloring rules will then support such special columns.
There are other things that I already miss, but this one currently seem the most important for me.
Many thanks in advance if you were to consider it.
Kind regards,
multicart
