Windows 7 OS.

When the task bar property "Taskbar buttons:" is set to "Always combine", multiple instances of the same program "stack" up under a single icon.  See the green worm icon in the attached image.  MC should exhibit this same behavior.

27
Current window title is
"[Admin] Multi Commander v1.1.2 (build 829) 64bit Edition - FREE EDITION"

If a user has multiple instances of MC running, then when mousing over the icons in the task bar, the same window title shown above is displayed for each instance.  This makes it harder for the user to find the desired instance.

Add a -T "string" or -Title "string" parameter to the command line (and a [Title] section to the .ini file?) to let the user re-title the MC window.  Then when mousing over the task bar icons, useful names will pop up, such as: "CR Maintenance" or "PC_Cards" or "Release 03.18".

28
File sizes currently displayed with spaces as the separator.  Examples:
1 044 034 B
     94 945 B
2 618 123 B

Create a new drop-down option in Explorer Panel Settings, under File and Folder Display, to let the user choose commas, periods, or spaces for the separator.  Or, maybe pick this up automatically from the system Locale.

If there already is a way to change this, please point me to it 'cause I haven't found it.

Turning off the Autosize column option stopped the bad behavior.

The default columns arrangement is such that attributes are the first column.  See first attached image.

Resize the Ext column making it a tad wider.

The first column containing attributes becomes hidden.  See second attached image.

Stretching the left-edge of the Size column shows the attribute column but as soon as the mouse button is released, the attribute column is hidden again.  Can't seem to make the first column reappear without exiting and restarting MultiCommander.

As can be seen from the column customization dialog (third attached image), the attribute column width is still set to 70.

Would really like to see better high DPI support since I use Medium 125% exclusively and have already reported problems with it.

32
Dragging the tab from one pane to the other would be a great way to do it if easy to implement.

33
The new mouse hover over tab feature does not always work.

My monitor set to medium 125% DPI.

See attached image of the left pane.

The hover feature does not work for the 1st and 5th tabs labeled "[D:] Open" and "[D:] \" respectively.  It works fine for all other tabs.

My initial SWAG is that it has something to do with the width of the tabs since those two tabs appear to be narrower that the others.

Support and Feedback / Quick search busted when name column moved?
« on: September 01, 2011, 22:29:15 »
The doco says "Quick Search allows you to start typing a name and the focus will change to files or folders starting with that name."

However, if the Name column is not the left-most column, this feature does not work as described.  What it seems to actually do is search the contents of whatever the left-most column contains.  In my case, it was attributes.  Thus it would only let me type "r" and "ra" in the quick search box as those were the only attributes in that particular folder.

35
Ah!  Thanks for the column layout instructions.  Just what I was looking for.  Except for that pesky icon stuck to the left edge...  I could turn the icons off but they are kind of nice to have.

Still learning the features of this great program!

By the way... thanks for being so responsive to posts in this forum.  Like a breath of fresh air!  I've been on other forums for other tools and people post questions or suggestions that are never acknowledged or just flat out ignored.  Makes the poster think the posts just go into a black hole or the circular filing cabinet; frustrating.

What I am looking for is maybe a menu option (that's saved on exit and restored on startup) to display the detailed file lists similar to the way a directory list is shown on UNIX systems - with the file name on the far right.  Or let the user arrange the columns as desired and have a menu option to save the arrangement as the new default for all file lists.

Example:
Attrib   Size   Date   Ext   Name

I was able to do this with MS Explorer on XP but on Win7 it doesn't work the same.

Currently I can rearrange the MultiCommander columns into a UNIX-like format by dragging them around but unfortunately the icon remains pined to the left edge and that looks odd.  Also, the program doesn't seem to remember the rearranged columns after exit and restart (unless I missed an option somewhere).

It would be good if the icon were in its own column or, at least, considered part of the Name column such that it moved with the name.

37
Works great!  Much better!  Thanks for adding it.

38
Preliminary try out of this feature is good!  So far it works great!  Thanks for adding it.

39
Sweet!

Is build 814 ready for prime time?  If so, how to get to it?  Web site still shows latest build as 800.

40
I didn't know its behavior was what you described.  Me thinks that I might like it better the way it currently is rather than what I suggested.

Now that I know it's behavior, I'll work with it for a while.  I'll withdraw or maybe modify my request.

41
Hovering the mouse pointer over a tab in the Explorer Panel should show a tip that contains the full path of the folder.

I could be in sub-folder ABC of project WXY in one tab, and sub-folder ABC of project XYZ in another tab.  The tab just shows "ABC".  But what project folder is it?  I don't know so I have to click on it so the full path shows up in the Path window.  Instead, a tip should pop up that shows "D:\Proj\WXY\lvl1\lvl2\ABC"

42
Along with what was mentioned already, it would be useful if there were a command line parameter that specified a file name that contained a list of folders to open for left and right panes.

For example, I would use this to open nine project folders in the right pane and maybe four standard folders in the left pane.  I would create a number of shortcuts to different projects that would open the nine project-specific folders and the four standard folders.

43
In explorer panel, using keyboard to type first letter of file name causes the first file or folder starting with that letter to be selected.  This is good.  However, typing the same letter again should cause the next matching file/folder name to be selected.  Instead, just the first matching file/folder remains selected.

In a long list of file names, I should be able to type S S S S and have the forth file starting with "s" selected.  This is how Microsoft Explorer works.

44
For example, under Fonts:
what does Freepace mean (what area of the dialog)?
what does Path mean?
what does Status mean?

Support and Feedback / Display problem on Windows 7
« on: August 02, 2011, 16:31:20 »
When the screen display is configured to "Medium - 125%" (Control Panel --> All Control Panel Items --> Display):

(1) Command line text box on the Address tab is vertically clipped,

(2) On the Drives tab, the drives are vertically clipped.
