You can not rename in the tree part. Go to parent folder and rename in list part.

Support and Feedback / Re: Problem with copying directories.
« on: July 27, 2012, 11:19:30 »
Not sure I understand what you are doing.

If you do a copy, then the folder should still be their. it is a copy.. or you mean that you did a move ?
and if so.. How did you move the folder?

Does a refresh/reload ( F2 or F5 depending on key setup ) fix it ?

Yes that settings is not saved between restarts.

It was doing that before but got lots of requests from user that they wanted it to be reset at restart.

Maybe I will add a settings about it in the future.

1. When 24x24 icons selected for explorer panel, icons overlap each other and filenames overlap icons.
The bug is that you can select 24x24. I forgot to remove that settings for the Explorer Panel. It does not support that at all yet. I was checking to see how much work it would take to fix support for it. And it require a bit more rewrite and I have time for right now so Explorer Panel will not support 24x24 icons at this time.

2. If Quicklaunch bar (standalone) was hidden via menu View->Toolbars, it is shown after MC restart.
I know and it is a bit messy to fix. Not sure it will be fixed. Maybe.

3. If Drives toolbar was hidden via menu View->Toolbars, it is shown again after Language change and MC restart.
The settings survives normal MC restarts, But not language change. hmm that was strange. I will investigate that.
---
Request. If "Forward keys to commandline" option enabled and Commandline bar is hidden, automaticaly show it when user types text and hide it again after command execution.
You are right, I was planing that but forgot about it. I will put it on the list right away so I do not forget that again.

Tips and Tricks / Correct Folder date
« on: July 26, 2012, 14:27:37 »
This is another of the lesser know feature of Multi Commander.

One thing that is a bit annoying with how the file system works in Windows is how the file system changes the date of a folder if a file in that folder is removed/added. If you add (or remove) a file in a folder, then the date of the folder that this files was added to is also changed.

And Sometimes you do not want. Because you are for example sorting the folders by date. and now the sorting is messed up.

For example

Say you got folders with pictures you have taken on different vacations you been on and the date of the folder are matching the date of the files inside the folder. The picture files inside the folders have the date and time of when the picture was taken so the folder have the date and time of the latest picture.
(Btw, The tool 'Adjust EXIF date information' can also set the file date to match the date of the EXIF date from the picture )

So when sorting the picture folder by date you will get the folder in the correct order.

Folder          Date
Sidney        2011-04-16
New York      2010-11-12
Pairs         2009-12-12



But then you remove some of your bad picture from the Paris folder. The problem is that the date of the Paris folder will now change.

Folder          Date
Pairs         2012-07-26
Sidney        2011-04-16
New York      2010-11-12


To correct it you can modify the date you self. But if you have many folders with incorrect date that is a pain.

It is now the "Correct Folder Date/Time" tool that you find under the tools menu in Multi Commander come to use.

This tool will scan the files inside the folder and its subfolder and then change the date/time of the folder and subfolders to the time of the latest date/time of a file inside that folder.
So the folder will now receive the date and time of the latest file in that folder.

You will have the option to exclude files from the scan. For example if you added a text file to you pictures with description and other information about the picture you might not what the scan to include the date of that file into the scan, You then enter "*.txt" in the Ignore field.
Or you could also add *.jpg in the Include Only field.

3783
User Defined Commands (UDC) can not have "parameters" to them at all. And UDC that are on the QuickLaunchBar does not support dropped files. (Dropped files are only support when the command is on the button panel) But it is on my list to add support for it. So it will be supported.

So for now you have to select the files instead and make the script use selected files.

Yes some of them only exists as 16x16.. Will have to see If I can find some replacement for them..

Think it is the Refresh, Back, Forward and History button.

And the icons would also look a lot better in Medium size (24x24) if the icons supported that size.  right now only 16 and 32 are support in most of the icons. So when choosing 24 or 48 icon size the icons are scaled. And the on XP the Medium size look worse then on Vista/Win7 since XP will scale up the 16 icon to 24, on Vista/Win7 the 32 sizes icon will be scaled down to 24, that looks better.
Best would be the have icons that are 24 from the beginning and not scale at all. But that is not an option at the moment since I can not draw icons my self. (Well I can. but they will look very very ugly)

Tips and Tricks / Go to Sibling Folder Faster
« on: July 24, 2012, 11:50:55 »
For example say that you got the following folders at a location.

FolderA
FolderB
FolderC

You enter FolderB, And then you want to go to FolderC, Now you first need to go up to the parent folder and then select FolderC and enter it.
But with the Go to sibling folder commands you can go the the previous or next sibling folder directly.

So when you are in FolderB and if you instead choose to press Ctrl+PageDown it will take you directly to FolderC.
If you have pressed Ctrl+PageUp it would have taken you to FolderA

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Hot Paths by Tab.
« on: July 23, 2012, 16:44:14 »
No it is not possible.

I'm not sure how that would work. As soon as you close a tab then it will be lost. I think that will be a bit annoying to loose them if the tab is closed.

3789
nice idea.

If it is possible to find what service a given process id is, Then it is possible.
And I think it should be possible. Question just how...  I probably need to do some research.

Interesting idea. Will add it to my list

Support and Feedback / Re: Theme question
« on: July 22, 2012, 18:06:45 »
Depends on what you mean with theme. But a lot of the colors can be change.
The colors and fonts can be change under Menu > Configuration > Explorer Panel Settings > Colors (tab)

There are a couple of pre-configured set under Quick Look'n'Feel Setup. Then press Customize
and for colors you have 4 different color themes.

Tips and Tricks / Pasting clipboard data into Multi Commander
« on: July 21, 2012, 14:01:44 »
One of the lesser known features of Multi Commander is the extra handling of clipboard data when pasting it into Multi Commander.

Multi Commander can save text and image data from the clipboard to a file.

If the data in your clipboard is text that you copied from another program and you press Ctrl+V (Or Menu > Edit > Paste ) while the
focus in Multi Commander is in a Explorer Panel. Then you will be shown a windows where you can save the text content from the clipboard to a file.

The same will happen if the clipboard data is a image. (For example if you pressed print screen to take a screenshot)
And for images you will have the option to select what image format you want to save it as. jpg, png or bmp

Their is also some special handling done for text data. If the text data in your clipboard look like file path.
Then instead of just asking you to saving the text to a file it will change the current location to that path you have in your clipboard data.
If the path in the clipboard has a file specified then that file will also be set to focus.

Support and Feedback / Re: current folder to clipboard
« on: July 20, 2012, 13:15:48 »
To Clipboard commands failed on ".." because it is kind of a fake folder. I will see if a special workaround for it can be added.
[...]

2. Do not really understand that.. Can you give an example ?

2. I was asking what you said in your message. For valid commands, consider that item to be ".", so current folder. That will allow To Clipboard to work (File path will return c:\windows\. , which is syntactically correct, even if it adds a small redundancy, Path will return c:\windows).

Ahh okey.. Well as I said.. I will see If it can be added so it will works. Because how the internal virtual filesystem works it might not be possible without a major rewrite. But I will check.

1. You can create user defined command for it
Create a command of Multi-Script type and then add
Code: [Select]
SetClipboardText(GetSourcePath());And then save it and then assign a hotkey for that command.

2. Do not really understand that.. Can you give an example ?

4. Language editor / Resore / Select a file to load.
If Cancel pressed in File open dialog, MC shows message that language was successfully restored. Don't know if it is actually restored.

Whops.  Will fix that.

If cancel is pressed nothing is restored. Just wrong error code sent back so the wrong result text is shown.

1. Picture viewer stretch does not always work correctly (see pics)
I take a look

2. Localization.
a. Explorer panel s.435 "Selection status area" is translatable, but always displayed in english.
b. List elements "Show free space", "Show used space" for free space area are untranslatable
c. "View filter", "Network" and "Network browse method" are also untranslatable.
"Network"/""Network browse method" parts is temporary there. Not sure if it will be there or be removed.  but the other I will fix

3. It is not always possible to open folders in the list by double click
You have to first enable the new option in the mouse configuration page.

---
Also with drive dropdown list disabled it is inconvenient to go to ftp, net or reg. One have to type "net:", "reg:", "ftp:" in the path field. Maybe add these buttons to drive buttons panel?
Yes I know. Thats why I really did not like removing it. And one of the reason I'm not sure If I will keep the option there so it can be removed. It will require a bit of work the be able to add net/reg/ftp/... to the device toolbar.

Yes
the ! forces the program or path to be launched instead of letting MC go to that path.

3799
But I do not think you even need to create a custom command at all..

You can also just create an alias.

eg
Alias     Expand to
n          !"C:\Users\Master\notepad2.exe"

then you can write "n myfile.txt" in the commandline field. and "n" is expanded to the full path to notepad2, and programs that are directly launch from the commandline field get the working folder for the current active path.

3800
Yes, I get that base.txt is just an example.. was try to understand what you want to do. but if you do not want to use  ${focusfilepath}  or ${sourcepath}, how will notepad2 know where to create the file ? If you want the file to be created under the current path then the current path must be included some places.

So you do not what a button /menu option for notepad2, But you want to run "notepad2" from the commandline field inside MC ?
So you want to type (for example) "notepad2.exe myfile.txt" and notepad2 should open with myfile.txt as parameters ? And notepad2 will then create the file "myfile.txt" in current path that is shown ? (or should it be a fixed path ?? since you do not want to use any ${xxx tags ?? )

if it should be under the current shown path then some of the ${xxx tags must be used. else notepad2 will create the file it its working folder that will be the folder that notepad2 is located in, and I do not think you want that..
You can add the STARTIN= parameter to change the working folder for the command that is run.

maybe ?
Code: [Select]
MC.Run CMD="C:\Users\Master\Notepad2.exe" ARG=" ${sourcepath}${param:0}"or maybe
Code: [Select]
MC.Run CMD="C:\Users\Master\Notepad2.exe" STARTIN="${sourcepath}" ARG="${param:0}"
You can also add the path to notepad2.exe to you PATH environment variable. Then you will not need a command to launch it.
