Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Inverted cursor (Focus Rectangle)

« on: October 05, 2011, 21:18:06 »

Think I need a better way to export/import colors

but if you edit your zFileManager.xml file. (back the old before.  just in case)

Replace text below with similar text in the file. . it is located in the beginning of the file after the <colors> tag.

Code: [Select]

<backgroundhighlight value="0" color="ffffea"/>
    <override_windows_bg value="1">
      <alternating value="0"/>
      <active color="034323"/>
      <active_alt color="fefada"/>
      <inactive color="00005e"/>
      <inactive_alt color="cbfecb"/>
    </override_windows_bg>
    <item_specific_bg_color value="0">
      <use_files_bg value="1"/>
      <use_folders_bg value="1"/>
    </item_specific_bg_color>
    <focusrect value="388e8e"/>
    <files>
      <normal foreground="e4fa46" background="-1"/>
      <focus foreground="044e29" background="ffffff"/>
      <selected foreground="e4fa46" background="-1"/>
      <checked foreground="f38363" background="-1"/>
      <checkedfocus foreground="df3f11" background="ffffff"/>
    </files>
    <folders>
      <normal foreground="e4fa46" background="-1"/>
      <focus foreground="044e29" background="ffffff"/>
      <selected foreground="e4fa46" background="-1"/>
      <checked foreground="f38363" background="-1"/>
      <checkedfocus foreground="f38363" background="ffffff"/>
    </folders>

You might need to tweak the color a bit.. ther the major part of what you want is done.. I think..

I Think it is possible to configure it so it will be like that.

Make sure "use file specified background colors" (and for folders too) are checked..
Then when customizing the the colors you will override the default background.

and you can configure the color for "Focus" and "Checked and in focus" to be inverted from what normal is.

Support and Feedback / Re: Real focus rectangle colour differs from the one in options

« on: October 05, 2011, 20:57:05 »

I know..

The problem is that when windows is drawing a focus rect, it draws it in a way, so the color that is set does not match.  And I haven't wanted to spent time fixing it, I been pushing it down the list. Another stuff got more important to fix.

Might be fix in the future.. maybe..

The option button bug, is already fixed and will be available in the coming beta.

The open file dialog should not be able to get behind the editor. That is strange. I will take a look at that.

I will see if I can resize the dialog so it fit.

When you done and if you want. You can send me the translations files, you create a zip of them by clicking on the export button in the editor.

Support and Feedback / Re: Menu "Help->Go to...->Config folder" opens application folder

« on: October 04, 2011, 17:29:59 »

It depends on how it is installed. or if running from portable device.

Normally configuration is located under the personal appdata folder

( eg win7 -> "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\"  )

But if running from portable device. Then we do not want to store the configuration on the host computer, so then everything is saved under the application folder.

Support and Feedback / Re: How do I change the copy strategy permanently?

« on: September 29, 2011, 21:23:39 »

Copy to USB is tricky.
USB Memory stick devices work better if the buffer chunks are very big.. but copying to Harddrive connected to USB works better if buffer chunks are smaller.

I haven't been able to detect if a device is a USB Memory type of device or harddrive in a consistent way.

I did some testing and I looks like the preset does not save the RW Strategy even if that checkbox is checked.
That is a bug. I will fix that asap so that will be fixed in the next beta.

Save as default is not saving the r/w strategy selection.

Creating a preset that autoload on all path might be a solution.

Select a strategy that is you have configured and save with the settings you want.
Then in Presets. Create a new and only check "read / write strategy" (uncheck everything else)
Under the "Autoload this preset if target path is..." add "*"
and then save it.

Now that preset will autoload on all paths and set that r/w strategy.

( or changing all the strategies to the same settings. )

If you turn off "Autosize columns" that will not happen.

Menu > Configuration > Explorer Panel Settings > Layout (Tab) > Sorting and Columns

Sorry for not answering. I totally missed that post.

There are a couple of ways

Hotpath (Right click on field showing current path) this paths can also be accessed with ctrl+<num>

You can also a change path using 'user commands' and add that command to the button panel, or Menu. or assign a shortcut to it, or assingn an aliases to it.

You can also create aliases that expands into a full path.  So if you enter a word in the commandline field. that word will then expand to a full path and it will then go there.


A more unified are batter ways are planed for the future.

Download the file and replace the .exe

New MultiCommander.exe (require build 840)

If you can.

Try enable the Application log and set log level to "information" and enable "save to file".

Menu -> Configuration > Core Settings > [tab] Logging.

To find the log file you can go to Menu > Help > Goto > Log Folder.

The file will be named "<date>-(num)-MultiCommander.log"  it should have some text in it that says

"<date> <time> [Transfer2PortalDevice] ......"

I would be like to see all the lines with "[Transfer2PortalDevice]"

That way I can track down how far it really gets.

So it works if you uncheck the "Create MCStart.exe in the root" option ? but hangs if it is checked.

What OS does it fails under Win7 ? Xp ?
