Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Relative path for alternative icon
« on: July 03, 2012, 13:27:23 »
..\ paths should work. It does not convert the path to a relative path by it self, but typing one should work.
The Icon path is relative to where MultiCommander.exe is located.
It was planed to add better relative path support with tags and buttons to convert. But I did not have had the time, So that bit was pushed to the future

Im currently compiling the result of the request here and from mail and will post the shortly.
First I want to comment on some of the issue and suggestions named here. some of them are just bugs and some are fixed in v2.5.1
This is a bug. And if you can provide me with a example case where this can be recreated I will look into that.
3. You mean like a quick zoom feature. pressing shortcut x and it wlil got to 10% and pressing y it will got to 20 % ?
Or do you mean that it should resize and save the image to disk ?
4. This is fixed in v2.5.1
Icons are to big ? really they are 16x16. All other complains have been that they are too small.
scrolling, Well I don't really know why this is happening. I do not have a device like that so I can not test it.
Anyone else have this problem ?
Custom icons for the filetype, Hmm Might be possible to add. But with if you got .txt defined for a viewer and another for editor. what icon should it show ?
Drive Buttons can be shown in the explorer panel. but the drive dropdown will also be there. But a request to make that optional is on the list
${mcpath} problem is fixed in v2.5.1
A test for removal av the active border highlighting has been added in v2.5.1
type the command ":activeframe_disable" in the command line field to activate it (it will NOT remember the state between restart at the moment)
Is this what you looking ?
3. Added in v2.5
be careful so you do not create a script that call it self.
in v2.5.1
List of Custom Commands are now in the doc. (all descriptions not 100% done yet)
First I want to comment on some of the issue and suggestions named here. some of them are just bugs and some are fixed in v2.5.1
- maybe I was too lazy, but with "File Search" I was not able to find a specific text within multiple binary files, or maybe this a problem with File Search and not MultiCommander
This is a bug. And if you can provide me with a example case where this can be recreated I will look into that.
2. an easy way to select non consecutive files using the keyboard2. Im note sure what you mean with this.
for e.g. in win explorer you hold down the ctl key, then move down with arrow key and select individual files with space key
3. an option in picture tools to resize or compress
either in terms of percentage (10 - 30 - 50 %) or in a few predefined resolutions (small - medium - large)
4. change of the arrow behavior during rename function
I explain. after you press "rename" or f2, the selected ......

4. This is fixed in v2.5.1
- also drive drop down list and icons on the right (parent folder, root, ...) are too big
- scrolling file list with elantech touchpad is impossible. I dont know the reason, but scrolling in all other applications is working fine except in multicommander. I dont have another laptop to test on, so I dont know if other touchpad brands work better.
Icons are to big ? really they are 16x16. All other complains have been that they are too small.

Anyone else have this problem ?
- Custom icons for filetypes (File Type Setup) - with relative paths support
- Drive buttons instead of drive drop-down (explorer panel)
- Fix: "${mcinstallpath}" is inserted in the File Type Setup if you click on "${mcpath}"
- Removal of inactive frame border (explorer panel) - kinda annoying, feels like the inactive panel is active
Custom icons for the filetype, Hmm Might be possible to add. But with if you got .txt defined for a viewer and another for editor. what icon should it show ?

3. Allow multiscript to execute internal and custom commands (those created via User Defined Commands).
As i see now it is impossible to execute e.g. Edit action from a script.
3. Added in v2.5
Code: [Select]
MC.RunUserCmd and Code: [Select]
MC.RunCmd be careful so you do not create a script that call it self.

Disable is more like 'do not load'. But as they are built in. They are always there. There is no way to not load something that is built it.
If I get the time I might redesign the loading process to take care of it.

But you can do what I sad as a second option
.. Change that for all plugin that you do not want MC to support as virtual filesystems

In the Configuration > Manage Plugin and Extensions -> FileSystem Plugins.
Select FS-7Zip then click on Option
then double click on 7z in the list and click on remove. And close and save changes and restart MC.
Now .7z file will not be handled as virtual filesystem and if you click on them they will be launch, and if 7Zip is installed it should open it that.

Some caching can of course be done. But it might slow down the navigation speed when going fast in/out of folders before color data has been cached.
But when filtered coloring is implemented. Then I will notice how fast it is and if the normal should be removed or change or whatever.
I also think that filtered coloring is harder to configure. It is also easy to make error. easy to create conflicting rules.
But Im going to start with just adding filtered coloring, and then we can see if it works good, so that the standard coloring can be disabled or changed.

The virus is being report for the file : USBStart.dat (Btw It still does not contain any virus )
(This file is not included in the Update package . only full installer )
This is a small 32kb file that is used to launch MC from USB. (When you install MC on USB you can choose to get a StartMC.exe in the root, that file is USBStart.dat but with the relative path to MC included inside that file)
That file is optimized to be as small as possible. and it is probably why it gets tagged.

Looks like the AV Forti report it as having a virus. (which is false)
And the virus is an old one and only 1 of 42 AV ( https://www.virustotal.com ) software report it as having a problem.
so it is defiantly a false positive error for the Forti AV. Since the virus it reports is old, If it was true that it had that virus then all of the AV software there would report a problem.
Will see if I can find a mail to Forti to let them know about the false positive, So they can update there signatures.
Might be enough to just rebuild the affected file.

You must be getting a false positive.

What Antivirus program do you run ?
EST NOD32 - OK
Microsoft Security Essentials - OK
Symantec - OK

« on: June 29, 2012, 08:02:05 »
If the filter based coloring also can match if a file is in focus/select then Yes, you might be able to use the filter based colors instead of the separate file/folder selected/normal/.. settings,
But I think the current coloring will still be there as a base. and used by default. Maybe make it so they can be disabled if you only want to use the filter based.
I do not want to replace the current way with the filter based, because filter based colors is a lot slower. I notice that already with the color you can set based on file name. So I made it do the coloring in the background, so that it would not hold up the GUI.

The color item by filter rules is still in design and planing stage.
I had some plans for this (grayed out) on system/hidden files. But had some problem with it. But it was a long time ago, So that might be possible to add now.
But there are also some other problems that must be consider when adding grey out. What color to use? Should the color be configurable? or should it just use a lighter then the default color? if the default color already is white, should it make it darken then? or should it change the font to italic or bold? or should that be an option? or... or...
But I have it on my list and will do some test later to see how it can work.

« on: June 28, 2012, 18:20:10 »
Quality loss all depend on the icon, and most file / folder icons are fetched from the file so the quality is up the file, but there are a couple of file/folder icons that MC are providing. This icons must fixed.
But it is planed. But it is not just to change so it gets icon of size 24 instead of 16. There are also a lot of other fixes and changes to the icon system that are needed. And if icons are scaled there might be a performance issue. and the icons are used in many places and all places need to handle the new icon size.
24/48 icons have not had high prio since most user wanted to have 16 size icons since they wanted to be able to show as many files as possible.
But with the rise of user that are using high DPI mode then the need for more sizes have gone up.

But kind of same issue here as with toolbar icon sizes... some file/folders icons is not supported in that size. However their are fewer icons for the file/folders then for the toolbar that needs fixing, So It might be easier to fix them.

Im not able to recreate the problem.
And it is hard to say what the problem can be.
When you copy using ctrl+c , ctrl+v the copying is handled by Windows it self and not MC, and MC has to rely on Windows to notify MC that the file system have changed, This often happens if the target is a network device, But can also happen in other situations.
It can also fail if MC has lost the notification hookup to the system. But happens mostly only on network devices.
You can always force a refresh with F2. (If running commander styled key setup)
