SEARCHIN is wrong.. one quote for them all.. not for each

With one quote search finds nothing, with the separate quotes it works.

view issue I don't know. look like after some windows update on some system, some ppl have seen that issue.. Not been able to recreate that

With usual navigation and normal GUI search I've never seen it before. This issue only appears with this command executed. Each time.

« on: November 29, 2024, 14:38:25 »

I've created a User Defined Command:

Code: [Select]

MC.FileSearch.Search SEARCHFOR=*.txt AUTOSTART HIDE SEARCHIN="c:\temp\22";"c:\temp\33\"
and inserted it to the QuickLaunch bar. The following is 100% reproducible for me.

0. There must be some txt files in "c:\temp\22" and "c:\temp\33\" folders.
1. Press the newly created button
2. Close the results Tab
3. Then change path. It may require several attempts

Results:
1. Explorer panel Settings look ugly (see pic)
2. Some item in the file list randomly becomes blanc. Refreshing the tab randomly replaces some oter item with a blanc line. Navigation via cusror keys can't skip that line. (see gif)

I had problems with defining multiple search paths in the MC.FileSearch custom command's options. What is the correct syntax for that?

Code: [Select]

MC.FileSearch.Search SEARCHFOR=*.txt AUTOSTART HIDE SEARCHIN="c:\temp\22";"c:\temp\33"

You can create some UDC with desired search params, and then put it to the user menu or on the QL bar.
MC.FileSearch supports HIDE and AUTOSTART parameters

« on: November 23, 2024, 15:17:06 »

@Mathias, yes, I apologize. It also works.
P.S. But after changing desktop.ini MC has to be restarted, refreshing Explorer panel is not enough.

Yes, it works. Folder icons can be chaged via desktop.ini files.
P.S. But MC doesn't seem to respect desktop.ini settings

« on: November 22, 2024, 14:48:11 »

You can enable "entire-row" Quick launch bar in the Core Settings > Layout. Then you can e.g. drag'n'drop exe-files on it and insert user defined commands.

Script / Re: Multi-script for create folders and subfolders from target windows

« on: November 05, 2024, 20:56:41 »

Try this:

Code: [Select]

@var $current_dir = GetSourcePath();
@var $path_parts  = StrSplit( $current_dir, '\' );
@var $parts_count = arrayCount( $path_parts );

@var $i = $parts_count - 3;
@var $path_tail = "";

for( $i; $i < $parts_count; $i++ )
{
  $path_tail = $path_tail ^ $path_parts[$i];
}

MakeDir( $current_dir ^ 'A16'  ^ $path_tail, "LOCAL,RECURSIVE" );
MakeDir( $current_dir ^ 'AGFT' ^ $path_tail, "LOCAL,RECURSIVE" );

It is assumed that the source folder has at least 4 levels (x:\%LETTER%\%NAME%\CM4000)

« on: October 29, 2024, 13:55:11 »

BTW: dropping multiple files on a quick launch bar item only sets the first file as parameter, the other files are ignored.

Some programs support multiple files as params, some do not. You can customize QL button and try different settings.

Support and Feedback / Re: Multicommander hangs on the splash screen

« on: August 15, 2024, 07:00:52 »

There's a file MultiCommander.xml in the config folder (I use portable version, so it is in the .\Config subfolder, for installable version it should probably be somewhere in the user profile). I configured logging to Full/Debug and that's how <log> section of that file looks:

Code: [Select]

  <log>
    <application>
      <level value="2"/>
      <save value="1"/>
    </application>
    <filesystem>
      <level value="1"/>
      <save value="1"/>
      <copy value="1"/>
      <move value="1"/>
      <delete value="1"/>
      <rename value="1"/>
      <mkdir value="1"/>
      <extended value="1"/>
    </filesystem>
    <filesystemscanning>
      <show value="1"/>
      <level value="1"/>
      <extendedscanlog value="1"/>

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

Support and Feedback / Re: Is it possible to rename

« on: July 19, 2024, 18:13:56 »

If I get you right... Let's suppose there's a folder structure:

Code: [Select]

my_folder\
  subfolder1\
    file1.txt
  subfolder2\
    file2.txt
  subfolder3\
    file3.txt

You can enter my_folder\, switch to "Flat" mode (via Ctrl+Shift+B or "View mode" button in the top right corner of the explorer panel). It will show all the files recursively within one list:

Code: [Select]

my_folder\
  file1.txt
  file2.txt
  file3.txt

Now you can select these files and multi-rename them.

So now we know that MC shows File Type in correct language at least for RUS and ENG.

1) File type names shown from the filetype columns is returned by Windows. MC ask windows for them. It should return same in Windows Explorer.

I don't know what does "is returned by Windows" mean. But I tried simple reading (Default) value for file extension from registry and then LoadString/RegLoadMUIStringW. Simple reading returns unclocalized string (I tested on RUS/ENG lang packs), while the latter return localized one.

I can only suppose that "File type" is simply read from registry as I did in my script. But in order to display localized string, so called FriendlyTypeName should be read either by LoadString or by RegLoadMUIStringW (the latter is only supported on Vista+)

Yes some Windows API report  NOT FOUND and some SHARING VIOLATION..
Its only for some very special system files. Not sure it is worth the time to create some workaround just for them.

Let FileExists() and others return:
* 1 when GetFileAttributes returns true
* 0 when GetFileAttributes returns false and FILE_NOT_FOUND
* 2 (or -1 or whatever else) otherwise

It will guarantee file existence or absence
