It would be nice to have an option to forbid the last tab to be closed.

As a work-around, I keep that Autohotkey running.
Not nice but useful until you have the time to look at it.

SetTimer, MaximizeMultiDataViewer, -1

MaximizeMultiDataViewer:
   Loop
   {
      WinWait, MultiDataViewer
      {
         WinMaximize
         Sleep, 1000
      }
   }
   Return

Support and Feedback / [Solved] MultiDataViewer does not remember its maximized state.

Hello,

I use MultiDataViewer a LOT and for each file I open, I need to maximize it.
Can you make the Options/SavePosition save the maximize status too ?

Thank you very much,

Pierre

Script / Re: Start a Search Automatically

I thought I would use this as a work-around to get the search to open expanded by specifying a string in the search for content field.
Unfortunatelly, this did not the trick.

MC.FileSearch.Search SEARCHIN="${sourcepath}" SEARCHFOR="*" CONTENT="MultiCommander"

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Search result navigation

« on: August 27, 2013, 01:37:44 »

Hello,

As said in another post, I abuse the search (ALT-F7) as most of my day is searching through logs.

I usually:
- ALT-F7 : to open the search window
- CTRL-X : To expand the search window
Wish 1 (High) : I would like to have MC remember if the last search window was expanded or not
- CTRL-C : To search on file content
Wish 2 (Low) : This shortcut is conflicting with the 'copy' windows shortcut. Why don't you use ALT-C as it is usually done to navigate between controls ?
Wish 3 (Low) : If the search window is not expanded, CTRL-C might expand the search window and put the control on the search on file content field.
- ENTER : To launch the search
Wish 4 (Low) : Once the search button is pressed (or when I hit 'Enter'), the search dialog should remain the active control to accept the 'esc' keyboard shortcut. As of now, I need to clic it in order to close it.

Once the search listed the files containing the searched string, I go through the files in the search list and view them with the F3 launching the viewer.
This opens the viewer and highlight the searched term.
Wish 5 (High) : I would like that by default, upon opening from the search list, the viewer has the search string in the Find field. This way, it is really quick to jump to the line containing the text I searched for (from the search file list, I press F3 to view the file and press F3 to jump to the first occurence of that string).

Wish 6 (High) : From within the file viewer, I would like to be able to move to the next file in the search file list using any keyboard shortcut. You may use 'Space' for next file and 'Backspace' for previous file.
This would make my log navigation incredibly fast.

Would you please consider my wishes 1, 5 and 6 ?

Thank you very much.

Pierre

Hello,

I would love the FileSearch to remember if it was be expanded or not at the last search.
I spend my day searching through logs and abuse the ALT-F7.
I'm 2% of my time searching on filename and 98% searching on content.

Concerning the undo, the most interresting, in my opinion, would be a "undo close tab" as in Firefox.

Thank you very much for your time !!!
