Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Better use of space.
« on: July 12, 2023, 17:39:15 »
Problem is that normally you got the device dropdown there at the top and then there is not so much space left.. Also everything need to fit even you do not run it at a super high resolution. And normally the app is run with dual panels.. so then there is even less free space..

Support and Feedback / Re: How to Compress and Copy Files.
« on: July 12, 2023, 17:32:47 »
I notice that the file copy is not being done by the multi-Commander, it is showing me the normal Windows window.

It depends on HOW you starts a copy operation. 
Normally MC will do the copy.. But if you do copy / paste the copy operation will be handled by Windows since it might require special handling of Windows.

And when I click to perform the file compression Clicking with the other mouse button and going to the option "MultiCommander" -> "Compress Files" nothing happens
Strange. I cannot reproduce that.
You should get a Pack files dialog where you then select what packer to use and target name.. and the if you press Ok it pack the selected files into a zip (if you selected zip)

Currently the "virtual" folders are not shown in the root in the tree.  (It will be added in the future. But require a bit a redesigned.. so it been pushed to the future for now.. but it is coming)
You can have shortcuts for them in the toolbar or with keys that will take you to those locations

Support and Feedback / Re: FTP TLS Connection Error
« on: July 11, 2023, 07:08:49 »
Often this happens because it fails to enabled a TLS connection.

MC is using built in Windows functions for TLS negotiation, Not OpenSSL (that the others are using), (Support for OpenSSL is planed for the future..)

Problem is that MC is depending on what chiphers Windows support or has enabled, Windows support most of them but some of them that are not considers fully safe are disabled by default.
It is possible to enable them. With this tool https://www.nartac.com/Products/IISCrypto/ you can modify that, But then you must know exactly what Chipers combination you need.

Support and Feedback / Re: Standby while copying on Windows 11
« on: June 07, 2023, 11:41:31 »
MC do not block sleep at the moment. but depending on settings, Windows will not put it to sleep if there are lots of IO activity.., But depends on power profile.

But I will check if is possible to add some more control of this.

...up files, it will now save a 100/0 panel split.

...it will not save a 100/0 panel split.
Yes  typo.. you are correct  it should say *NOT*

133
You can't (Unless you do unrecommended workarounds and set the split with script that run at startup)

Because MC is designed around the dual panel layout where one panel is default source and the "other" panel is the default target. It is not designed to be a single panel filemanager like Windows Explorer..
Even if you hide the panel (F11) it is still there and many function in MC depends on it and by hiding it you might do things in the panel that you don't know is there. So to avoid you messing up files, it will now save a 100/0 panel split.

134
This happens only if one gives the file name other than MultiCommander_ConfigBackup, I think.

Ok so the file extension is not added when you change the name in the File picker... that strange.. I will check

135
The device toolbar.
Yes it is a bit crazy because of legacy reason and that it takes to much time to rewrite everything. ( got it on my list, but other stuff felt more important to add/fix)
That real controls the layout of the DeviceToolbar is in ExplorerPanelSettings > Layout (tab) and then go to section  Under Toolbars > Main windows Toolbars > Drive Buttons
There you can activate groups of buttons.
But then sometimes you wanted to customize that.. and then go to the Device Filter tab in the settings..
There you can to more fine tune customization of all device/virtual devices to be shown.

And no you cannot drag and drop to that bar since only special items can be there. But you can drag and add a folder to the quick launch bar. (the bar after the command line field, you can also activate an entire row of the quick launch bar in settings if you have many)

Beta Releases / Re: v13.0 **BETA**

Hi Mathias, thx for the new RC.

Is there a problem with translation server`? Cannot update my latest updates for Language pack.
Got message that my public key is not correct!?
I found the error. It is the error in the new website system.. I will fix.. should work soon Try now

Dear Mathias,

I noticed, that a new MC backup file is created without a .zip extension. If I still need a new file I must first make a copy of the existing file, rename it, and only then use it as a new backup file.

I'm not able to reproduce that.
Can you explain more detailed what you are doing to make it happened

138
MC do not have any special sharepoint support.. But if you connect in WIndows to sharepoint shares so they are assigned to devices like S: or somethings.. then MC will be able to access it.

However, I was merely extracting a single file, and the option was unavailable as it was greyed out.
It been like that since 2009.

An archive is not being unpacked in the target folder, but rather in a subfolder of the target folder with the same name as the archive. I believe I recall this behavior being different in the past, when I could unpack the contents of the archive directly into the target folder.
When unpacking multiple files, you get them into subfolder if "unpack archive into individual folders" are checked in the unpack dlg. (and it is by default)

Support and Feedback / Re: Wrong IMG Dimension
« on: May 15, 2023, 08:38:25 »
Witch img diminsion columnn is that, there are two one that take the diminsion from the meta data. (faster) or the other that read
One is the dimensions stated in the metadata.. "Picture (EXIF) dimensions" and one that checks the actual image file "Picture (IMG) - Dimensions"

I guess the you show the size from the ExiF metadata.. This can be wrong if the image is resized and the program did not update the metadata tag with the new size.

Hello :D,
Mathias new update of MC Beta changes 64bit version to 32bit. Even if you check option "Upgrade 32bit version to 64bit" in MultiUpdate, it still installs 32bit version.
What's interesting, it downloads zip file with 64bit version (MultiCommander_x64_Update_(13.0.0.2945).zip), but after installation it turns out to be 32bit.
Ahhh.. Ok the new publishing script must name the files wrong. I will fix that that tonight with a new version.

144
That is strange. But some AntiVirus software are hooking them self into the process of running application..

Are you activating the scanning from within MC ?  and how ? context menu ?
What AV software is it ?

Mathias i have a widget on the desktop that shows cpu for processes. This mc beta shows between 6 and 7% cpu being idle. I never saw that before so i downgraded to latest stable and cpu use is normal again, so low it doesn't even show up anymore.
Also where is the page to download older beta's please, the previous one was working fine.

Also, while i have your ear, for me a weak point in mc, my favorite filemanager, it how it handles a network share that is gone, it does not respond for a long time, no other filemanager takes so long.

That very strange since there is no new functions that run in the background or anything like that. difference between the two beta are very low, only fixes and only major change are in Preview Panel, and if you did not even use that. everything is like before.
Can you create a dump of the process when it using CPU and upload to https://multicommander.com/support/upload

I don't think MC can take longer before responding then others, when shares are gone, unless some other program bypasses Windows Networking and do there own networking. MC is using the Windows network api. It is Windows that control how long it waits for it to timeout.

There is no revert of beta. You have to go back to 12.8

Thanks for the update Mathias.

Just installed b2945 & it seems to have lost many of the entries on the right-click context menu.
MC entries are intact but 3rd party entries have mostly gone.
Any way to recover these or is it necesssary to reinstall the apps?

I used autoruns to inspect the system & the reg entries etc are intact.  The context entries are also OK in Vanilla Explorer.   ::)

Nothing around that is changed.. changes are just minor fixes to the things in the previous beta
Also MC do not control external options in context menu, MC just ask windows to fill up the menu.
Can it be that you went from 32bit to 64bit ?
64bit does not show shell extensions that are only 32bit.. and the other way around


147
Yes, default maybe should be extended.

You can also modify your own in the Color rules editor.

Support and Feedback / Re: Simple tree and file pane view
« on: May 08, 2023, 08:01:36 »
Hejsan Mathias

Why can I not get a nice and simple tree and list view as you have in your online manual? (See the attachment).
I am forced to have a 2. list view that I don't use, because "Split size 0/100 or 100/0" can not be saved between sessions.
What is the trick you use?

You can show that tree by pressing the tree icon on the toolbar inside in explorer panel. That screenshot is just a cut to show that panel. not the entire application.
MC always has 2 panel. It is designed around this concept where the "other" panel is always the default target for different operation. This is very efficient if you are a keyboard user and do not want to use the mouse unless when you really need to.
So therefor 0/100 and 100/0 split is not supported. Even if you do a 0/100 split there might be a panel showing that is hidden that you can do stuff to without knowing it.
There are tricks to get around it and do it..  By settings this in an auto load script. but then you are going out of the way to do it manually, and then I hope you fully understand the risk.

Support and Feedback / Re: sorting folders by date
« on: May 05, 2023, 13:34:27 »
Not sure what you mean
But you click the column header to sort by that column,
You can also in Explorer Panel settings under the "Sorting and Columns" section you can change if files and folders should be sorted separately

150
Hover preview have no settings. There is no setting that remembered if it should be on/off between starts. it is always off when MC starts.

Yes. keep an eye on it and see if it happens again and what you did around that time.
