If you have a wide monitor then you will probably not shrink the program so much so that icons disappear.

Yes. I've faced that situation on clean system with 4:3 monitor and no video drivers. Indeed it is probably rare situation.
I just look at all that ribbon software and wonder why so much horizontal space is not used. Well, maybe i use that software in a wrong way

Concerning p1. Indeed it is a minor issue. But i've already mentioned that monitors become wider, so maybe vertical panels/elements could be used somewhere?

Support and Feedback / [BUG] Changing file and folder state colors

« on: November 07, 2012, 08:27:40 »

This happens with clean installation.

1. Go to Explorer panel settings > Colors
2. Check 'Use file specified background color'
3. Choose e.g. File and Foldet state colors > Files  > Selected (bk. is white, text is red)
4. Uncheck 'Use default background color'
5. Press [Invert] (sample shows bk. red and text white)
6. Press [OK]. You'll see that bk. color is now red, but text color is black instead of white

1. When drive combos enabled for explorer panel and MC window size is quite small, buttons (tree, root etc) are not visible.

I see 3 ways to resolve this.
  a) Additional button (like arrow button in old MS Office toolbars) may appear which shows something like popup menu with inaccessible buttons
  b) Bar wrap, i.e. buttons which don't fit bar width should be shown at next line
  c) Additional toolbar (like drive bar)

2. Current file info. This was already suggested but it is especially actual now because of list mode.

In list view mode you can't see current file info (size, date, attr ...), so maybe a section in status bar can be used for that?

Used HTTRack to download, then some manual work to cleanup/correct some links/compile.
Unfortunately, for some reason styles were not saved. I tried different browsers with the same negative result.

Support and Feedback / [Bug?] Remember open paths

« on: October 25, 2012, 10:15:01 »

I switched to list view and saved it as default layout. But if Remember open paths option disabled, after start Explorer panel has Detailed view. Is it a bug or by design?

Support and Feedback / Re: Tabs on Panels

« on: October 25, 2012, 05:45:50 »

1. I have Tabs in left panel, a. D:\abcd 2. E:efcg. on my right panel I have a. E:\hiij, E:\klmn, E:\opqr. I wish to set this as my start option. In other words I want these to open when I start MC.

You may create autostart file and pass it as command line parameter.

3. When cursor stays on a file, it changes by displaying line with an underline (without changing color). If possible, I would like to change color of whole line to indicate that cursor is there.

You can change text/background color for focused files/folders in Explorer panel options > Colors.

Support and Feedback / User Defined Commands bug

« on: October 17, 2012, 06:09:59 »

1. Create user command, e.g. Test
2. Set its type to Multi Script
3. Check "Store script in external script file"
4. Enter full pathname to script file
5. Press Save

Result: MC terminates

Now launch MC, go to User Defined commands, select Test command. MC terminates.

So now you have to delete (or maybe rename - i haven't tried) script file.

Support and Feedback / Fast moving to sibling folder BUG

« on: October 09, 2012, 12:40:14 »

1. Enter some folder with many subfolders (there must be more than two columns in explorer panel).
2. Navigate no e.g. third column.
3. Enter some folder.
4. Press Ctrl+PgUp or Ctrl+PgDn.
5. Leave folder.

Result: explorer panel is unscrollable anymore (at lest by cursor keys) until you enter and leave some folder in the first two columns or parent folder.

Video attached (rename to .7z).

---

P.S. Although Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn are used for moving to sibling folder, they are allowed to be shortcuts in the keyboard customization. But don't work.

On the attached pic. you can see how the keyboard customization dialog looks after assigning Ctrl+PgDn key on View - Menu Bar

You can also enable Substring in 'Plugin and More' dialog and add several patterns to rename template, e.g.

Code: [Select]

[N]_[?ExtendedProp.datemodify,1,4]_[?ExtendedProp.datemodify,6,7]_[?ExtendedProp.datemodify,9,10]
and then save the profile.

Well. It only happens if you change language between restarts.

If you set Russian language. Then restarts. Then hide drive toolbar, Then Restart, They are now still hidden.

No. It happens always. For Russian, English and Czech ok. Haven't tested other langs.
