Is it possible to implement restoring Language not only from internal backups but also from custom file (saved by Export command)? In one of the next releases...

Another localization bug. Now in MultiViewer. Captions for "Word Wrap" and "Line Numbers" are shown translated only in settings but not in menu.

---

Strings "Toolbars" and "Panel Tab" in Core Settings have no localization.

Also in localized version (at least in Russian) tab captions for settings look wrong. 'Core Settings' looks like 'Core Настройки' and the same for 'Explorer panel'. But if in the first case it can be solved by simple translating of the 'Core' word, in the second case it is harded. So maybe two independent strings could be added?

---

There is no localization string for 'Lookup in Google Translate' (Language Editor)

Localization bug. Lines 40-42 for Application.File Search.b (toolbar) removed from the file, but actions still active in the popup menu. So they have empty captions.

If the reason for registry setting is to check parameter before parsing config files, then for portable version there could be a check for file existance. E.g. if zero-size file "nosplash" exists then hide splash.

Beta Releases / 2.5 Beta - Build 1106 - Questions

« on: May 27, 2012, 17:56:07 »

1. How do i make list view mode default?

2. In list view mode when i press right arrow, focus cursor eventually goes to the very last file. But if i then press left arrow, focus cursor goes only to the first column but not to the top position.

3. Is it possible to change toolbar icons size?

Yes by design. They are independent of each other.

Then maybe some menu command for both bars like "Move all buttons to command line bar"/"Move all buttons to quick launch bar"? Or "Swap command line/quick launch bar buttons"?

---

When i switch view mode from Detailed to List, my color setting for focused files is changed. Switching back to Detailed restores colors.

When you enable Quick launch as entire row, existing elements from commandline's bar don't get there. And when you disable entire row, its elements aren't moved to the commandline's bar. So in fact there are two independent quick launch bars. Is it by design?

Another issue. If you have settings tab active and open File>Tab menu, all other tabs on that panel are closed.

Strange.  I suspect this is a XP / Theme issue..

You're right. I had visual styles and themes service disabled. After enabling the problem was gone.

Enabling/disabling toolbars from menu works only for commandline bar.
Also by default commandline bar is shown, but disabled in menu. If disabled, after restart it is shown again.

---

After update if settings were not changed, menus "Date format" and "View mode" for Explorer panel are disabled.

Some visual misbehaviour with quick launch bar. When rearranging disabled and you try to move the button outside the bar, focus rectangle remains after releasing mouse button.

I did not say 'impossible'. But then I have to redesign and rewrite a some stuff, and it takes times. And I'm already to busy.

And what about make it hidden and show only when error occurs (optionally).
But i agree, better leave it as is while there are more urgent things.

The problem is that the settings are not loaded when the splash is shown. And if no splash is shown, then it will not be possible to show the error if it happens during startup..

Why is it impossible? What about simple Windows messagebox?

duci,
Enable checkboxes in Explorer panel Selecting settings and you will see wheter files are selected or not. If they become checked after INS, so you just need to change colors scheme.

How about passing the selected files from both panels...

I can't even imagine how that could be performed Maybe script action is a better way?

Just for clarification: will buttons accept multiple dropped files (to be passed as parameters to the button program)?

Script / Re: _FindFirstFile strange behaviour

« on: May 14, 2012, 15:56:40 »

However adding library functions (like _FindFirstFile, and other function that are not part of the core language) to the script language is cheap.

Thanks, will keep it in mind.

Script / Re: _FindFirstFile strange behaviour

« on: May 14, 2012, 15:03:22 »

So if there is any script functions you are missing let me know.

I have not tried yet, but i wonder wheter it is possible to use do...while loop.

Code: [Select]

do {
  ...
} while ( ... );

Online doc only has example of while loop.

Script / _FindFirstFile strange behaviour

« on: May 14, 2012, 13:53:32 »

I have the following code:

Code: [Select]

$s = AskText("Enter file name", "New file.txt", 0);
Log(0, 10, GetSourcePath() + $s);
Log(0, 10, _findfirstfile(GetSourcePath() + $s));
When i pass exact file name fo _FindFirstFile function, it finds nothing. But when i pass file mask, it finds that file:

Code: [Select]

012-05-14 15:46:21.192 D:\1\New file 1.txt
2012-05-14 15:46:21.192 Script engine - _FindFirstFile : 'D:\1\' - 'New file 1.txt'
2012-05-14 15:46:21.192 Script engine - _FindFirstFile found nothing
2012-05-14 15:46:21.192
2012-05-14 15:46:32.052 D:\1\*.txt
2012-05-14 15:46:32.052 Script engine - _FindFirstFile : 'D:\1\' - '*.txt'
2012-05-14 15:46:32.052 Script engine - Match found _FindFirstFile found : 'D:\1\New file 1.txt'
2012-05-14 15:46:32.052 D:\1\New file 1.txt
Is it a bug?

P.S. Where can i find list of the internal commands like _FindFirstFile? I haven't found it in online documentation. Maybe i've overlooked?

Script / Re: Create emty text file

« on: May 14, 2012, 12:56:59 »

Unfortunately I do not think there is a way I set the file into rename mode after that.

Maybe activating in-place rename is not possible, but another way is to use custom command

Code: [Select]

MC.Filesystem.Rename ASKNAME

Support and Feedback / [FIXED] Bug? in "Store script in external script file" option

« on: May 14, 2012, 12:33:51 »

Enabling "Store script in external script file" option makes it possible to choose script file. But when i choose file, nothing is loaded and file name field remains empty. If i then write script and press "Save", script is cleared.

The only way to make it work is write script file name manually.

Script / Re: Create emty text file

« on: May 14, 2012, 12:18:21 »

Maybe this script will be useful

Code: [Select]

@var $s = AskText("Enter file name", "New file.txt", 0);
$s = GetSourcePath() + $s;
SaveStringToFile($s, "", 0);
It asks you for the file name and then creates empty file. But if a file already exists, it will be overwritten.

« on: May 11, 2012, 19:55:17 »

Yes. Probably i've done something wrong at first time. Manual editing DOES work.

By the way, tooltips for these items look strange.

449

Support and Feedback / Re: Customisation

« on: May 11, 2012, 18:35:02 »

Indeed, custom datetime format is not applied.

1. No changes are made to ZFileManager.xml file when saving settings.
2. If values are changed manually by some editor, then they are loaded and displayed in settings page, but have no effect in Explorer panel.

So the only visible effect is when you enable/disable "Use custom date and time format" option. But most probably only default hardcoded custom format is used.

Blog post comments / Re: [Blog Post] - An Early Look - New Toolbar system

« on: May 10, 2012, 08:55:52 »

I wish [some] toolbars would be rearrangeable and dockable not only horizontally but also vertically. Monitors become wider but not higher. So a toolbar buttons may take only half (or even less) of useful horizontal space, but a whole vertical position.

Maybe some other interface parts should also be redesigned (or combined with the toolbar system).

E.g. Button panel. I think it's redundant. 32 buttons, 4 states = 128 buttons. And it also can't be located vertically. I tried to move it outside MC's window and resize it: i thought buttons will be rearranged from 4x8 to e.g. 1x32, but they just became narrow and high - not what i expected.
So here is what i think:
1. File filters may be moved to the ones in the explorer panels as dropdown items with ability to edit them.
2. Drive buttons (in the button panel) are useless since they may be shown in explorer panels
3. Hotpaths may be also expanded in a way to store more paths: e.g. paths with assigned hotkeys Ctrl+<digit> would be "hot paths" and first in the list, others would be "quick paths"

So button panel may become just one of the toolbars. And toolbars would need some additional options like "Only text", "Only icon", "Text and icon". So user would be able to create own toolbars: some might look like present button panel, some like ordinary toolbar.

Optionally, custom user toolbars may be additionally represented by menus (or/and menus may be represented as toolbars).
