Hi
Thank you for answering so quickly. Attached photo in No_Dark mode
And YES, I use UltraUXThemePatcher... Is this the problem, you think?
Best Regards

I think the ThemePatcher is the issue, When using dark theme in MC, Theme Patcher is overwriting some of the drawing and draws buttons that are not darkmode..
Might work if you configure ThemePatcher to draw in dark mode too. (If that is possible, not sure how configurable Themepatcher is)

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.

The "FileType Name" Column. (Added in 14.1)  MC asks Windows for the filetype

C/C++ API call to SHGetFileInfoW returns that.

Code: [Select]

 
  SHFILEINFOW fileInfo;
  UINT sizeFile = sizeof(fileInfo);
  UINT Flags = SHGFI_TYPENAME;
  if (!SHGetFileInfoW(szFilePath, 0, &fileInfo, sizeFile, Flags))
    return false;
 
  // FileType is set in
  fileInfo.szTypeName

Don't know why it looks like that for you.
The checkboxes are also in a none standard color.

Are you running some 3rd party Theme changer in Windows ?

How does it look if DarkMode in MC is not enabled ?

« on: June 24, 2024, 09:04:13 »

I am using a Chinese language pack, but when I added "file type", it did not display in Chinese.
I used language editing extensions and found that I couldn't find the relevant items and couldn't understand the sorting rules.
So I decompressed the language pack and searched for relevant text. I can't find it either.

Additionally, I found that columnset is stored in columnsetsXML. Directly stored name.
When switching languages, columns seem to not switch based on language changes

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.

2) Yes some places do not support the multi language system. Like the "name" of default column sets.

when checking if file exists the GetFileAttributes(..) API is used. But for the special system files it return false and set error code to FILE_NOT_FOUND.

I tried PathFileExists(). For non-existing file it returns 0x02 FILE_NOT_FOUND while for "hiberfil.sys" it returns 0x20 ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION. Also FindFirstFile() succeedes.

It looks inconsistent when you see a file in the panel, but script says it doesn't exist.

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.

If FileExists return 0 then Windows return error when checking for those special file. Windows actually return ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND when trying to check those files.

But MC somehow shows that files in Explorer Panels. If it can detect them, then I don't see a reason why MultiScript's FileExists could not.
Try IsFolder() for "hiberfil.sys"

Listing all files just to see if a file exists is not efficient. It is very slow.
when checking if file exists the GetFileAttributes(..) API is used. But for the special system files it return false and set error code to FILE_NOT_FOUND.

Support and Feedback / Re: how to add filetyoe column

« on: June 20, 2024, 10:49:29 »

The program can now display the extension column, but cannot find the file type column.
The program has already obtained the icon for the file, so it should also be able to obtain the file type.

I hope to display the corresponding type column like explorer  . thanks

Never been a request for actually showing that.. But I think it is easy to add.. See if I get time to add it to 14.1

I don't see it losing defined scripables columns. have you checked  the option for the script to be a FileProp?

Thanks. Checking this option works.

But there's another issue. Some multiscript functions fails with certain files. E.g. FileExists returns 0 for "hiberfil.sys", "pagefilt.sys", "swapfile.sys". And IsFolder fails with script engine error.

This sample code: will variable be visible out of its scope?

Code: [Select]

if(IsVariableDefined("$_FILEPROP_FILEPATH") == 0)
{
  @var $_FILEPROP_FILEPATH = GetTargetFocusPath();
}

it should be "@gvar" to force defined a global. But that branch is not merged. Will fix that tonight.

IsFolder() works for me

If FileExists return 0 then Windows return error when checking for those special file. Windows actually return ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND when trying to check those files.

1.

Example of script that will just show the file extension in a column.

Code: [Select]

if(IsVariableDefined("$_FILEPROP_FILEPATH") == 0)
{
  @var $_FILEPROP_FILEPATH = GetTargetFocusPath();
}

@var $ext = PathGetFileExtPart($_FILEPROP_FILEPATH);

@var $_FILEPROP_DISPLAYNAME = $ext;

On the line "@var $ext = PathGetFileExtPart($_FILEPROP_FILEPATH);" I get error "Script engine error => Failed to process token - "$ext"" although IsVariableDefined() returns 1.

---

2. Script list for a scriptable column is empty.
3. Scriptable columns are completely lost after closing MC (not only from displayed column, but from the available columns list)

I found that IsVariableDefined always return 1.  even if it is not defined.. that the only issue i found

I don't see it losing defined scripables columns. have you checked  the option for the script to be a FileProp?

maybe the script was created before you needed to allowed it to be run as fileprop column, thr script need the option "AllowAsFileProp"  to be clicking on the "*" in the script editor.
It will add
#options (AllowAsFileProp) 
At the top of the script..

so if you created the column before that was added it can be why it is not shown in the list.

I tried that. See the attachment. The autocomplete does not happen.

Ah yes. there is no autocomplete in the field.  Not sure if it can be applied. Will check..  the Autocomplete is a build in Windows things that can be assigned to some fields..

« on: June 14, 2024, 09:38:01 »

As is:
You can only type the folder or path with autocomplete on the address bar editor below the icon tool bar.

Request:
I used the address bar bread crumb below the drive letter. Can you allow us to double click on the path and then typing the folder.
Autocomplete options appear to allow me to navigate the path while typing.

If you double click after the text, it enters edit mode. or press Ctrl+E
Might maybe be possible to add so it is possible to enter edit on double click on name to.

Support and Feedback / Re: Quick Filter Borked When Entering Very Long Queries

« on: June 12, 2024, 07:25:28 »

its not the lenght.. there is no limit for that.. I guess it is how you write it

If you are looking for a file called "Sockets, Shellcode, Porting, & Coding. Reverse Engineering Exploits & Tool Coding For Sec Pro.pdf"
then put it around " around it. else it will break on spaces.. and each part is a filter..  "Sockets," "Shellcode," If you want to match many keyword use space,
The it will be a OR match.. if you do "Sockets Shellcode" it will find all items matching "Sockets" OR "ShellCode"  it does not require both of them to be there

For that you need to rightclick and the filter icon and selected advanced filtering and create a advanced one.

Or do a regexp match.. if you start the filter with ":" then you are matching using regex

MC do not control that. It is handled by the Windows manager in Windows.
Only time MC messes with that is if you force it to be "topmost" using cmd "topmost 1" in cmdline field.
But that sets it to top window.. not bottom.

Support and Feedback / Re: "Show link target in name column" only affects symlinks to directories

« on: May 24, 2024, 07:20:44 »

That's really odd.

I tried it on 2 PCs, one with Windows 7, the other with Windows 10.
I tried it with the installer and the portable version.
I even tried earlier versions, back to the oldest available on the download page (v11.3).
The only changes in the configuration I made was unchecking "Show link target in name column".

The results were frustratingly consistent:
Toggling the option always made targets appear or disappear for symlinks to directories. But it had no effect on symlinks to files. For them the target was always displayed.

It's not as if the universe would implode, if that mystery couldn't be solved.
But it would be very convenient, if symlinks were a bit less obtrusive.

So, though I know that this question is slightly impertinent : Did it really really ever work as intended with file symlinks?

Correct.. for files it does not check that option.. Easy fix.. will be fixed in next version

No if you uncheck that, symlinks should not show target path.. maybe the view is not refreshed ?

Is the jpg you try to open sync to local ?
maybe you did something from MC that trigger it to download and sync a file on onedrive., and then you aborted the sync and told it to block that app (MC) .? (Then you need to unblock it in Settings in onedrive)

Texts ? I don't know. Have not seen that. Are that for files on onedrive ?

If I hover over a tab in chrome. while dragging. the tab is switching.. 

MC have no control of any of that. Sounds like a browser issue.. If you search for drag and drop issue with chrome there are many results.

Yes, text is ok, but not the two boxes.
Both boxes should be at the same height / level.

The problem is if they are, it looks like the advanced button and save button belong to the settings for Keeping incomplete/Broken files.

I been thinking to swap the left and right side if settings. then the buttons is not so close to just one setting
