Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Default Settings

« on: August 06, 2014, 14:22:20 »

So what settings do you change when you done a fresh installation of MultiCommander ?

I use commander style. And on clean copy i set:
1. F2 = rename.
2. Ctrl+\ = go to root.
3. Tab panel = top.
4. Auto close progress window > Only autoclose on short operations = off.
5. List View Mode > Filename = File name with right aligned ext.

I can't but want to be able to set:
1. Pack/Unpack to target

But as mention above.  currently you might need to restart MC if settings are changed for some settings if other modes been active.

I tried. No effect.

2. I see no difference between Left<>Right and Top<>Bottom scroll modes.
3. I see no difference between Thumbnail Alignment modes.
4. I see no difference between Highlight filename enabled and disabled.

P.S. Win 7 Ent

1. I think there should be only one thumbnails mode but with options:
  a) info align - left/right/top/bottom/disabled;
  b) info content - filename, attr, dates, etc;
  c) scroll direction - left<>right  or  top<>bottom;
  d) ...

2. On Windows XP associated file icons aren't scaled. So if i have set up icon size to 16x16 and thumbs size to 128x128, icons will still be drawn as 16x16. But i suppose Win XP is not a thing for you to deal with anymore. And probably it's not worth it.

It's a genaral words. As a programmer you now should technically and distinctly define your task.

Given: A, B, C;
Expected result: X, Y, Z;

Then you'd probably need to split a task into subtasks. Not sure, but most likely you'll have to use MultiScript.

If you want just wheel scrol in unfocused windows, AlwaysMouseWheel works ok in MultiDataViewer and Chrome.

Support and Feedback / Re: Filename font colour --- how to

« on: May 15, 2014, 05:25:56 »

You should go to File Coloring Rules Editor (via menu Configuration or multicolor circle icon on the toolbar).
There you should either create new coloring profile or modify existing.

Add new rule, set parameters to e.g.

Code: [Select]

Field: Full filename
Match: Is
Value: Benny HillThen choose font styles and colors. Create as many rules as you need.

Save changes and then activate appropriate profile via multicolor circle icon on the toolbar.

Unfortunately, you can not create a rule for zero-sized folders. Unless sometime Mathias add plugins' specific actions to the field list or Script type which would use user script

Don't know whether it is possible to disable overwrite confirmation via MC.XChangeSettings as i haven't found list of supported settings.
So as a workaround the following could be done:
1. Disable copy confirmation
2. Unpack to a temp dir
3. Copy to target
4. Enable confirmation

Strange. In both cases zero-sized file is the same. Looks like antivirus deletes content after file is written.

« on: February 20, 2014, 06:53:38 »

You may create User defined command

Code: [Select]

Command type : Internal commands
Module       : Multicommander (base)
Command      : Swap the location of left/right panel
And then assign it to a button. Or you may directly set the same parameters for a button (on the button panel)

If you want to see extended info in a playlist, you may use Tag command line utility.
So a script can be written which would pass selected files along with command line arguments to the Tag.exe

In Quick Look'n'Feel setup choose Commander Style. So you'll get behaviour similar to TC. E.g. you'll be able to (un)select using Space or Ins. But Space will not move down file cursor.

« on: February 11, 2014, 06:10:21 »

You can specify "-*" (without quotes) filter in the Copy dialog
Or you may try to write a script which would launch xcopy. See documentation.

1. There are 2 options in Core Settings > Filesustem > Drag and Drop Operations
2. You may use MultiScript command MC.Explorer.Move with NODIALOG parameter

P.S. Mathias. I've noticed that after moving file from left to the right panel, right panel is updated but left is not. After moving from right to the left both panels are updated.

« on: February 04, 2014, 09:25:09 »

Ah, I see that empty area (whitespace) is a space with no symbols even if it is a item row. And selection doesn't matter.
But I don't know whether it is a bug or by design.

Support and Feedback / Add MultiRename Tag dialog is untranslatable

« on: February 01, 2014, 11:20:56 »

Add MultiRename Tag dialog is untranslatable. I mean dialog appearing when you press [<] button and then choose Plugin and more menu item.

And i think that property type and value should be delimited. E.g. now it looks like Standard Name. I suggest to make it look like Standard: Name or Standard - Name or similar.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Tray menu improvement

« on: January 31, 2014, 17:42:27 »

If Show icon option is enabled and sub-options are disabled, MC is minimized to the task bar. In that case Open Multi Commander menu item in tray menu does nothing. I suggest to make it restore MC.
