Feature Requests and Suggestions / What I want to have added to Multi Commander

« on: June 10, 2015, 00:43:59 »

There are 3 things I need to use TC for:

• Custom columns (that use WDX content plugins).
• SubDir Branch View. Forum link discussing: SubDir Branch View | FlatView | Flatten Files (virtual folders)
  
• Synchronize Dirs.

There are 2 things I miss:

• Custom Menus (File, Edit, View, etc)
• Custom ToolBar(s) - that can be switched between, and that can be linked to a ToolBar icon so it drops down as a menu with icons.
  

I would choose Custom Toolbars with drop-down menu's that link to additional Toolbars, but I've mentioned that in the past --- I don't think it's on the table...

Secondarily, I would agree with some of the other posters in regards to Flatten (all or selected) Folders.

Thirdly, I would suggest a slight redesign to Multi-Rename, so that one could add additional [Search] [Replace] fields beyond the allowed 4.

NOTE: EmEditor has a "Batch Regex" Find/Replace, that allows you to add as many search/replace steps as you need, and save the steps out as a .tsv. It has made text transformation so much easier, as you can write much more specific regex statements, and chain those together --- as opposed to writing one or two extremely complex regular expressions - that break easily and are much harder to read and write.

Support and Feedback / Active Panel always left-side after using Multi-Rename extension

« on: January 04, 2015, 23:03:50 »

After activating the Multi-Rename extension, and using it, or closing it - and then either switching back to MC, or it auto-activating due to closing Multi-Rename:
The left-side panel is made active, even if it wasn't the panel the Multi-Rename extension was used for.

Support and Feedback / Regex Regex Regex!

« on: November 05, 2014, 21:46:21 »

Wooo Hoo regex in filters (search) AND selection!

And learned something, I had always thought "*.*" was a valid (if redundant) regex. Apparently only in tools that ignore the regex spec and just consider it ".*"

Anyways, very cool.

Regex Regex Regex!! Aaaahahahahaa!

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Drop Down Menu from QuickLaunchBar Icon

« on: October 23, 2014, 21:07:02 »

We currently can define custom Menu's (awesome). Is there any possibility of similar functionality from a UserDefinedCommand on the QuickLaunchBar?

I see that some built-in commands on the Toolbar have drop-downs, and a few have right-click context-menu drop-downs.

Example:
1) Create a custom Menu: "MyCustomMenu1"
2) Choose an option to not display it on the MenuBar (File|Edit...)
3) Create a UserDefinedCommand that references the custom Menu "MyCustomMenu1"

So the custom menu would drop-down when the UserDefinedCommand button is clicked.


NOTE: The Function-bar is also functionally great -- what it exposes, enables and it's ability to switch states via modify keys (ctrl|shift|etc). Although it is definitely limited in what can be reasonably contained within it's various buttons, and becomes somewhat awkward to hide/show it when needed. As well as visually jarring when it jumps between states when you are just pressing a modifier key for something else.

CB.

Addenum: Is this something that could be implemented with MC's plugin architechture?

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Donate PayPal button

« on: September 18, 2014, 22:48:00 »

I was going to perform thread-necromancy, on this Topic: Donate PayPal button somewhere (Read 818 times) ... but it appears it was locked, or auto-locked due to it being too old?

So I'll start another I guess.

Matthias, please put a PayPal DONATE button on your site,

Thanks.

I promise that I wont barrage you with feature requests. Nor feel entitled to any requests I might make as I'm pretty used to not getting any feature requests implemented after dealing with Total Commander for 10 years.

Support and Feedback / File Search Tab: Rename, Multi-Rename

« on: October 16, 2013, 23:42:48 »

When attempting a Multi-Rename from files selected within a Search Tab, "Replace Name & Extension" does not work: as soon as you type a dot, or \. (for regex) the file is no longer matched.

Context Menu for File Search Tab, is oddly missing a Rename entry?

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Custom Tool Bar ?

« on: December 05, 2012, 03:43:45 »

I see there is a User-Definable ToolBar (quick launch), but it is relegated to the tail end of the Command-Line bar.

I also see it's possible (as far as I can tell) to completely customize the Function/Button Bar (on the bottom) --- although I don't see how you can customize the context-sensitive nature of the Function/Button Bar - e.g. what is shown when Ctrl or RButton is pressed.

Multi Commander has internal scripting, and what appears to be access to internal commands.

Everything seems to be in place for the ability to have custom Tool Bars ... is that feature on the horizon at all? I don't see it requested, nor in the combined list of feature requests.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Regex (Regular Expression) in Quick Search, Quick Filter

« on: December 05, 2012, 03:32:11 »

Many characters are illlegal in file and folder names, e.g. \ / : * ? " < >

C:\ is a drive, plus root folder contents.
C: is a drive.

Typical usage of Regex in various applications consider a "/" forward-slash as the beginning of a regex, and a "/" forward-slash as the end.

If at all possible, the addition of Regex for QuickSearch, QuickFilter would be great, it could be indicated by starting the QuickSearch or QuickFilter with a forward-slash, e.g.

/FOO.BAR

which would be similiar to (if QuickSearch or QuickFilter supported glob)
*FOO?BAR*

Support and Feedback / Quick Search ( Match from Beginning of Filename )

« on: December 05, 2012, 03:10:36 »

1) If you set Quick Search to match from the beginning of the FileName, there doesn't appear to be a way to:
---> Use an asterix (*) wildcard to allow the search to match any characters in the beginning.

2) There doesn't appear to be a way to activate Quick Search via a Command/Button.
