Support and Feedback / Re: How to Drop&Run?
« on: October 12, 2024, 08:48:37 »
Drop to run in filelist conflict with the Copy and replace feature.. (Drag file to replace another)
I also would like to have the ability to just drop files on an executable or a batch file or else to launch it as a parameter. This would be much more useful to me than the replace option. It would be nice to be able to configure which behaviour should be used or to toggle it with an unused modifier key.
The workaround with Quick Launch Bar or Button panel is only useful when you only have few applications to use.
By now I have to temporarily switch to another explorer :( when I have to use this functionality although I use Multi Commander for all the other stuff.
If you drag and drop and hold CTRL+SHIFT while dropping on a .exe (so you get the Link overlay on the mouse icon) you get a popup menu whatr do to..  and there you have execute the exe with the dropped file as parameter

Ah does not exists.. Yes it check when creating the file that the target exists..
Symlink can be created to none existing files/folders. So I think I can remove that check.

Since there was no interest for a an extension like this.. This extension will only not be released for public use, only minimal work will be spent on it to fit my own needs.

Works for me..

I got
C:\MyFolder\MyFolder ( SymLnk => D:\MyFolder )
C:\MyFolder\Myfile.jpg ( SymLnk => D:\MyFile.jpg)

If I have the option to "copy or move the link itself" enabled.
Then Drag and Drop C:\MyFolder to E:\

I Get

E:\MyFolder\MyFolder ( SymLnk => D:\MyFolder )
E:\MyFolder\Myfile.jpg ( SymLnk => D:\MyFile.jpg)

Using Copy / Paste , Then the copy process is not handled my MC. Then you are using Standard windows shell for copying.

If you enable fileoperations logging in Core settings logging and the view Ctrl+L  does it show any any reason or error..

Support and Feedback / Re: List/Index Of Files and Folders
« on: September 25, 2024, 12:46:27 »
select all files from the search and then Menu > Tools > To Clipboard > (xxx)  and you get a  list of all them in different format.. then past into what ever program you want.. if you paste into a folder in MC it will create a text file for you

If none of the format suites you need. then you can do it in Multiscript

Support and Feedback / Re: 3 Screens (panels)
« on: September 21, 2024, 12:22:05 »
No. the concept in MC is around the source /target panel.. that the panel that is in focus is always the default source and the 'other' visible is the target..
You can however have multiple tabs

Yes looks like something is blocking the access and just dropping the connect

« on: September 18, 2024, 09:32:23 »
Guess that the company also blocked so that not crash report was sent ?

Sorry, I'm not sure here. Do you mean you SHOULD have received some automatic report ? Or are you talking about the standard windows application crash reports ?


Anyway, if you want me to send you something I can replicate the issue with the brand new portable packages I downloaded...

I may also want to ask you : about the future updates, since I have to deal with them manually from now on... is there a way I can setup them without losing all my customized settings : keyboard bindings, recorded sessions, etc ???

No.. Normally when MC crashes it sends a crash report and shows a dialog with a crashId. If you did not get this. not crash report was sent..
If it was and I have the CrashId. I can manually check the crash report and I can often we why it crashed

If running the MultiUpdat tool. if you enable show info checkbox.. You see the file it download. download that maually. and in MultiTool and in settings you can select to update from file.
But full installer should not overwrite settings. all settings are in user folder..  the installer should not touch them. (You can backup them first from Help menu just in case..)

Strange. Cant replicate that. But yes. might have something to do with company firewall or something.

Menu > Configuration > Core Settings > FileSystem (Tab)
Under the section "Junctions and symlinks" there is a settings for sizing Folder. change it to not follow links

Beta Releases / MCWebAccess (Experimental Extension)
« on: August 26, 2024, 10:48:22 »
MCWebAccess is an experimental extension that enables you to access files shared via MC directly from a web browser.

What Problem Does It Solve?
Imagine you're working on your laptop and need to quickly share a file with a colleague or friend. Normally, you might use Windows file sharing, but this comes with challenges:
  • Network Restrictions: If you're not on the same network, you may need to configure settings that can be complex or cumbersome.
  • Corporate Firewalls: Corporate firewalls or administrative restrictions might block file-sharing features, making it difficult or impossible to share files this way.
  • File Size Limitations: Emailing large attachments often isn't feasible due to size limitations.
  • Cloud Services Blocked: Cloud storage might be blocked by corporate policies, or transferring large files can be slow.
  • USB Stick Hassles: You might resort to using a USB stick, but this isn't always convenient or practical.

MCWebAccess addresses these issues by providing an easier way to share files within your local network. When you start the extension, it hosts a local web server, allowing your colleague or friend to access shared files using a browser. Although you might need to open the incoming port on your computer, this is typically simpler than configuring Windows file sharing.

Additionally, MCWebAccess makes it easy to transfer larger files between your phone and computer over Wi-Fi, eliminating the need for USB cables.

Important Limitations - READ THIS
  • Local Network Only: MCWebAccess is designed exclusively for sharing files within a local network. It is not intended for internet-based file sharing.
  • Security Risks: Currently, there is no login or authentication mechanism, making it unsuitable for use over the internet. Running the extension on an internet-connected device poses significant security risks.
  • Early Experimental Version: This is a very early, experimental version of the extension, aimed at identifying which features to add in future updates. It is not intended to be left running unattended.

Note: Do not use MCWebAccess if your computer is directly connected to the internet. It is meant to be used only on a local network.


Download
v0.1 (x64 only) Download (Minimum required MC build 3026)

Install
* Unpack into Extension folder
* Restart MultiCommander
* Menu > Extension > MCWebAccess

Leave Feedback
Please leave feedback if these extension would be useful for you. What features you want and so on.
This is a very early experimental version. There are lots of things that can be added. But I do not want to spend time on features that is not needed.
So what features do you need ?
If I don't get any feedback this extension might be scraped for public release.
I created this to solve a problem for me, and I can live with very limited features and bugs.


TODO
 * Add virtual folder.
 * Add Permission to if upload or download should be allowed.
 * Add so it only accepts connect from some IPs
 * Better Web UI (react ?. Already using WebSockets for upload)
 * Lots more.

Or use command line parameters to the .exe

-ENABLE-APPLOG - Enable full logging for application log.
-ENABLE_FSLOG - Enable full logging for FileSystem log.
-ENABLE_FOLOG - Enable full file operations log.
-ENABLE_ALL_LOGS - Enable full logging for all logs.

MultiCommander.exe -ENABLE-APPLOG

Last Windows position is stored.
It is not stored on the normal configuration since it is not information that is user configured.
For installed version in the registry for portable in the registry mirror files (.ini)

Not sure why it is not saved for you. I cannot replicate that, If you are using some sort of sandboxing it may clean out the registry between runs..

17
Exactly what it say on the splash screen is not relevant, since the startup is parallell and it does many things at once. If you enable full logging everything it does in outputed to the application log

hangs at startup is often it is because some some network device that windows think is online but is offline.
During startup MC will get information about all available device. And Windows sometimes sees network connected device that are offline as "not offline" at it will hang there until it timeout

@Mathias (Author),
I think @Balu just wants to hide the entire header with column names, not the particular column itself.
Yes, that is correct!

Ah remove the header.. no that is not currently supported. without the header you would not be able to change the sorting to something else or to change the width of the name columns..

19
Correct is cannot be removed.. It will prevent you from removing the 'Name' field in 'List' mode . If you removed it, it would result in a blank list and you would not see any files.  since in List mode 'Name' is the only field that are shown.

20
If you remove column 'Name' in list mode. there would be nothing that was shown.. the list would be empty since only name is shown

21
False positives happens a lot.  The security software sees that this software do lots of files things. so it much be suspicious.
It often fix it self after a while. Not much I can do to make it not happen.

Support and Feedback / Re: Open folder link in new tab
« on: July 17, 2024, 09:36:00 »
by default ' Middle click' will open in new tab on other side

You can configure the Mouse action in Explorer Panel Settings > Mouse Configuration
There you can select what action you want for the buttons.
Eg change so it is opened in same side

23
OneDrive is using virtual placeholder files (might be that other cloud venders also have moved over to that), Windows has done some changes to how they are identified, and they are now colliding with how junctions links are identified.


24
Im not able to reproduce that
If you start foldersize from shortcut or from Menu > Tools > Calculate folder size , Same result ?

Is there something special with those folder ? permission ? symlinks or something ?

The "Always rescan folders" has nothing to do with folder sizing. It is if a folder always should should rescan the content of the folder when entering, even if folder hint say nothing has changed

25
Not sure what issue you have, I have not seen any issue running 32bit apps. Run lots of them.
Yes Windows will virtualize some system folders for them. But that is needed else it would not run. part of the emulation. Eg System dlls must be loaded from Windows\SySWOW64  and not System32\ folder,  (That it is called 32 is just for combability reason. for 64bit version it contain 64bit version of dlls)
