Support and Feedback / Multicommander does not attempt to resolve mapped drives

« on: June 29, 2017, 01:14:16 »

This has become more of an issue these days because of the proliferation of SSDs. Basically windows attempts to resolve mapped drives only once, and if the computer boots too fast, it will try it before networking is initialized. This leads to the network drive being there, but windows does not see it until you try to access it via explorer. It looks like http://imgur.com/a/WPi3n.

The problem is that the mapped drive (Y:\ in the image) is invisible as far as multicommander is concerned. You can't navigate to it, it does not show up in the drive list, you can't manually type in the drive letter to go to it. As soon as you physically open it in explorer, multicommander can then see it, but the whole point of multicommander is that it replaces explorer.

Support and Feedback / [Bug] control selecting via keyboard not functional

« on: July 19, 2015, 13:30:48 »

A bug I have noticed is present in regards to selecting items via keyboard. In explorer, if you hold down the control key, you can border highlight other items using the arrow keys. You can then add (or remove) that highlighted item to the selection using the spacebar.

the border highlight


selecting with spacebar


Holding down control and using the up/down arrow keys doesn't appear to work in multicommander. Some people might consider this a feature suggestion, but this functionality has been around since the xp days for explorer, and I would think is a core component of any explorer gui.

Support and Feedback / MC does not correctly grant admin permissions in windows 8

« on: April 13, 2015, 05:42:52 »

I have multicommander set to automatically run as administrator in the core settings, which works fine in windows 7. In windows 8, it does not automatically prompt for administrator, nor gives admin rights. On some occasions, multicommander *might* retry as administrator (like deleting a file it doesn't have permission to delete). However, I need multicommander to always have admin rights, as I launch subprocesses from multicommander which don't have the rights they need (like partition wizard for example).

Note that I don't appear to have this issue with windows 7, I think it is 8 specific.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Choose drive by label

« on: April 13, 2015, 05:21:05 »

A feature I would like to see is to type in a drive label into the command bar and have it go to that drive (or at least the first instance of that label). Sometimes, especially when I have multiple USB drives plugged in and virtual drives open, I could have 10-15 drive letters in use. It's a pain to have to sift through them to find the partition I want to deal with. being able to type in the label would be very helpful.

Support and Feedback / treating white space in line with files as the file itself

« on: March 03, 2015, 05:10:43 »

I don't know if this is a bug or by design, but clicking in the white space after an object (like after the name when a column is too wide) doesn't behave like clicking on the object. For example, if I click in the middle of the column after the name it will select the object, but I can't drag the object. More annoying is if I turn on double clicking in white space to go to the parent, it will behave the same way with the in line whitespace. This leads to situations where I'll try to open a file and end up going back a folder instead. Is there a fix for this?
