Support and Feedback / Re: button panel text not saved.

No.. As I said..

The file under your userprofile is NOT change by the update.
It will copy and use the file from the install folder IF the file is missing in user profile. but only then


It is only change if you edit the buttons in Menu > Configuration > Button Editor, or activate changing the button by clicking on the "wizard mode '(on/off)' button.. Then it will save your modifications by creating a new MultiButtons.xml file and overwriting the old.
So if you had manual changes in that file. they are gone since the file was rewritten with new configuration in them.

Meanwhile.
You can create a UserDefinedCommand that execute an external command

"explorer.exe shell:RecycleBinFolder"

and then assign a that command to a button/menu/hotkey

Not sure what is going wrong for you if the download or unpacking of the file. can be that some security software stops it.
What it does is to update the update tool.
But you can download the file manually using the Link see there. the Multiupdate_(1.9.1.0).zip file contains just an .exe file
unpack that and replace it with the original exe file.

(You should not ignore it, since it can make future updates of MC fail, since they expect a newer version of the tool)

Support and Feedback / Re: Icaros Shell Extension metadata not show in MC

« on: January 02, 2025, 10:37:57 »

Since MC is not built on top of the Windows Shell. MC do not automatically get access to the shell properties.

MC do access some of them for some properties but they are mapped one by one.

7zip supports zip

That is different.
7Zip have there own format (7z) that is a totally different from zip. But the 7zip exe also include other formats like zip and more

It is quite advanced. It has support for most things. There are not many free c++ lib that support most zip features.
Problem is the Zip standard is OLD , it is from 1989. and been patched to support newer requirements. and not all zip/unzip code are following all the added specs completely. It is a real mess.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Support automatic verification for *.sha, *.sha1,*.sha256, *.sha512 file extensi

« on: January 01, 2025, 13:33:57 »

Scenario
- user downloads a file (https://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/MX-Linux/MX-ISOs/MX/Snapshots/MX-23.4_December_KDE.iso)
- user also downloads the checksum for the above file (https://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/MX-Linux/MX-ISOs/MX/Snapshots/MX-23.4_December_KDE.iso.sha512)

Observed behavior
- MC does not recognize hash file extensions other than *.md5

Requested behavior
- please add other extensions, like *.sha, *.sha1,*.sha256, *.sha512. So the user can check the *.iso by pressing <Enter> on the hash file.

I will check. can probably be added

This extension is using an old way to connect it self to file extension. It should really be updated to use FileType Setup system instead. but that require lots more rewrites.
So for a first step I might be able to add so it trigger on the *.sha## extensions too.

According to Zip Spec, Entries with no data should not be packed. Many do it. Zip is like wild west. No one cares about the spec. But MC do not have that control.  It is up to the 3rd party lib that MC is using. I can check if they added support for it.

Support and Feedback / Re: Can't share files from the files contextual menu

« on: December 31, 2024, 11:30:55 »

MC do not have any control over those Windows things. In the context menu all MC does is to tell Windows to use command X from the context menu with this files that are sent to it.
Might be that that window require a more tighter connection to the windows shell.. some Windows features do that. but since MC is not built on-top of the Windows Shell, it cannot do that.

Support and Feedback / Re: Can't delete Onedrive folders

« on: December 31, 2024, 11:27:28 »

I can't reproduce it. I have no issue delete things under onedrive.

Maybe some shell extension or something have some handle to some folders open, that cause it to fail to delete them.

But. Is there files left in the folders that is say are not empty? Or are they empty?
If you run Delete twice.. does it remove the folder it say was not empty ?

Support and Feedback / Re: Can't delete Onedrive folders

Might be that something has that folder open or something.
Might be more info in the Filesystem log (Ctrl+L)

« on: December 30, 2024, 11:15:14 »

I don't even get that option in Windows Explorer so I don't know.
Might be that it is very tight connected to Windows Shell. Most Windows tool works without the Windows Shell, some does not. and MC is not built on top of windows Shell.
But Don't know. I never seen that option in the popup menu.

same as other post about one drive..
I can't find any issue with it.. I can delete without any issues.
What error do you get.. Any error message ? error code in log ?

Support and Feedback / Re: Can't share files from the files contextual menu

« on: December 28, 2024, 13:01:54 »

I can't replicate that. I get a Window that popup from Onedrive if I select Share where I can get a link and set some permissions

Support and Feedback / Re: Can't share files from the files contextual menu

« on: December 28, 2024, 11:34:53 »

I can't reproduce that.. 
MC do not have a direct connection to onedrive, It is using the filesystem layer Windows has for the onedrive folder. So MC see it just as normal files.

Are the file synced offline ?
or are they just fake place holder files ?

ah then the error was not about a specific folder . It was becuse there was a lot of files in that folder.
Ok good that that solved the issue

I'm not able to reproduce that..
How Do I create a folder that is not shown ?
Is it a folder you create your self or did some app create it ?
What phone is it.. iPhone or Android ?
if android what android. Google Pixel ? Samsung XX ? or what type and model ?

Also you can enable log-output that list all objects that WPD finds
Go to Menu > Configuration > FileSystem Plugin Settings > FS-Portable
And Enabled everything under "Extended logging"
It should log everything it find under each folder to App Log (Ctrl+L),
Is the missing folder listed there ? or is does it report of any error and skipped items when listing the folder that should contain it ?

Beta Releases / Re: v14.5 BETA

« on: December 22, 2024, 20:21:25 »

With latest Beta I've problem using ftp server. All was working fine before update.
Now when I want to use a ftp-server and double click on an item, nothing happened. Must use context menu - edit - connect
Connection is possbile but cannot enter any folder with mouse or keyboard. Any hints?

This should also be fixed in the 3053 build

« on: December 22, 2024, 16:37:52 »

This worked in 14.4 ?
There as been no changed to the 3rd party zip code.. But I will check

Hello! Thanks for replying.

I didn't have the old version anymore, haha, but trying to find more info on this, so:
- I redownloaded Multi Commander v14.4 (Build 3047) (32 bit)
- used 14.4 to recreate the archive with the exact dataset as with 14.5 BETA
It's exactly the same result, the archive is corrupted.

One more clue, in both 14.4 and 14.5 I used "Internal zip (max)" from Packer profiles.

Try beta build 3053. I think I found the issue

If you do any modification to the buttons in the button editor in MC.. that file is rewritten.. and manual changes will be overwritten

When updating to new version.
the file under your profile is not change
This file is changed.. C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\Config\MultiButtons.xml
This is used and copied to the user profile if you do not have that file already.

Update 1
Redid the compression with 14.4 with "Internal zip (normal)" packer profile - still creating corrupted archive.

Update 2
Redid the compression with 14.4 with "7-zip" packer profile - the archive is valid.

Zip and 7Zip are totally different. even if both are called "zip"  7Zip have nothing to do with zip, Different 3rd party libraries that handle that
