Support and Feedback / Re: I can no longer move from a child directory into it's parent...

« on: January 26, 2023, 13:09:18 »

Hmm...

Works for me in MC 11.6 and 12.8.  To clarify, did this start only after your changes of hardware/transport protocols?

Some ideas/WAGs:
Do you actually have access rights to the drive roots?
Do you have any locked tabs?
Are the new drives mounted as shares?

You need to Ctrl+Click every item you want to multi-select (including the first).

« on: December 06, 2022, 18:40:17 »

Hi Ulf.

Do you have a decent text editor that supports macros (Notepad++, UltraEdit, etc)?

As a programmer, I believe it would be quicker and less effort to use one of those as the tool for the job.

Support and Feedback / Re: Problem with UserDefinedCommands.zip

« on: November 30, 2022, 11:52:23 »

I will check if it is possible to keep date/time when it rebuild the zip

Date/time would be useful, adding the a attribute would give a quicker visual cue what has changed

Also the filename is not important., You can rename the script file if you want. the Guid used is the one set inside the .udc file then you can easier identify what script is what.

Sure, but I don't want to navigate from an open zip file back to MC, open UDCs and check every script to locate the Guid then go back to the zip and identify the changed script!

Support and Feedback / Problem with UserDefinedCommands.zip

« on: November 30, 2022, 00:14:44 »

Hi Mathias.

I have found a problem with UserDefinedCommands.zip.  I have 50 scripts in the zip (each identified only by its GUID).

If I modify a script with MC's editor and save the changes, the zip is updated.  So far so good.  But...

When the zip is rebuilt with my changes all files in the archive are given the same date/time stamp and all file attributes are removed.

So I have no way to identify which file in the archive was changed; there is no visible  connection between the GUId and the script name.

@mcfreddog,

sincere apologies - I did not study the images carefully enough 

In my (lame) defence, I always hide toolbars and icon panels in my system tools, so I never look for them.

Hi Jungle (glad you are still with us!).

Tab2 is activated as soon as the mouse cursor passes over it, and I cannot create an "empty" (with no path) tab at all.

A dialog could be helpful but only if the reason why the command includes other folders in such a surprising way gets caught.  Would adding FILTER to MC.Explorer.Delete be easier?

Now that is a good idea

Hmm Might be to dangerous function to allow delete so easy. Maybe should require a confirmation box. ?  maybe a "Do you really want to delete : <folder> ?" box ?, but the idea with script it to not have them..

@Mathias, just a thought...

You could offer the dialog by default with a "Do you really want to delete : <folder> ?" but include an optional NODIALOG parameter (similar to the Multiscript function CopyFile).
