Support and Feedback / Re: Compressed files handling

« on: June 28, 2012, 14:02:15 »

If you do not want MC at all to support any 7Zip (pack/unpack/browse) you can disable the FS-7ZIP plugin (restart mc afterwards)

If you only want to remove so that the .7z (7zip) file extension is not handled as a virtual filesystem by MC  then you need remove so that FS-Zip does not register it self as handler for .7z

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.

Yes.
V2.5 ended up using some of the FatCow icons. unfortunately they are only 16 and 32 sizes. but that has to be enough for now.
I would like to have more sizes in the future to support high DPI mode better.

it is not a button..
When you list the content of a network server the path for that server is "\\<servername>", and then it will list all network shares on that server.
And then in the context menu for a network share you have that option.

If you go to "\\Server" and right click on a share you have "Map network drive..."

Support and Feedback / Re: Manage Aliases - Resize column bug

« on: June 25, 2012, 10:33:44 »

If it helps I can uninstall MC in one of them and install it again with the default settings and see what happens

No, I do not think so.

I do get the second column to auto expand over the entire area so first column goes away. But I don't get it until I try to resize the column.
I suspect it is the same issue. But on you machine something is triggering the resize automatically.

Support and Feedback / Re: No Tiles/Icons View

« on: June 22, 2012, 23:50:45 »

I wonder if I used the wrong word. Here I mean zip folders to be having a "zip" icon, mp3 files to have icon of it's corresponding associated player, image icons to have icons of the image viewer on my PC. In Large Icons all appears just white, while in Small Icons view it's showing correctly.

The large icon should be exactly the same as the small icons, but bigger. If they are white, then they are not fetched. Try restarting MC. if they still are white then something in your system in preventing the large icons from being extracted.

Thanks but choosing large icons seems to mess the thumbnails. Will there be a fix?

Thumbnails ??
MC does not support tumbnails so I dont understand how it can mess with them ?

I see both columns.. but When I start to resize them. Then "expanded into" gets full with and it takes the complete width. Some column size issue. I will look into it.

Strange that you do not see both column when the dialog is first shown.

What OS are you running ? XP ?

The icon size is changed in settings.

Menu > Configuration > Explorer Panel Settings

Layout (Tab) > Icons (Category)

Icon Size

There you can change icon size to Large (32x32)

There is a new command for changing that settings faster.

":showhidden" - Will show system and hidden files.
":hidehidden" - Will hide system and hidden files.

type it in the command line field.  (do not include the " )

Support and Feedback / Re: Listview mode improvement

« on: June 18, 2012, 08:05:28 »

If the second column does not fit completely in visible area. And user move focus to a file item in that column.
It will only auto scroll that column it if less then 75% is visible.
I had it so it always scrolled if it was not 100% visible. but UI experience was weird, and it would autoscroll in situation where you wonder why it did so, because for the user it was not needed.

However when showing file with the file extension to the right I can see that in this case it might be more of an issue.

So maybe handle it different if that option is on? or maybe always draw the file extension, if column end is out of visible area then move the position where the file extension is drawn so it is always visible? I will do some testing.

** This post is now LOCKED - Create a new separate post if you have any requests **
** Result from this post can be found here **

Now that v2.5 is out the planing for the next major release have started.

I got a list of new features and changes I want to do. But that list contains mostly my own wishes and
since we all have different needs and wishes I would like to hear from you.

What feature do you want to be added ?
What do you want to be able to do ?
What existing feature does not work and should be change? And how should it be change?
What do you want to be able to tweak and customize ?
What do you want to be able to do with script ? what needs to be added it it ?
For file task that you do often, How can some feature be added so you can do it easier/faster?

Any idea are welcome.  small, big, smart or stupid.

I will however not promise that I will add all of them, It all depends on what it is and how much work it required.

I will not comment on your suggestions in here, or saying that it is already on my list or if it is good or if it is not possible to add.
I will collect all ideas now and at a later time I will present a list with all the suggestions where they then can be discussed.

Support and Feedback / Re: Line numbers in multiviewer

« on: June 16, 2012, 22:49:33 »

Just noticed that with "Word wrap" enabled line number is showed for the each wrapping of a line.
E.g. in AkelPad and Notepad++ line number is showed only once. See pic.

Maybe it is by design but looks a little bit confusing:)

Yes, it is by design. But I will consider if I it should be changed.

Quicklaunch bugs related to WinXP with themes disabled still remain.

1. Focus around buttons with "Allow - rearrange buttons" enabled (see pic)
2. When you move mouse to the edge of the MC window and get resize cursor, then move mouse back to Quicklaunch, cursor remains instead of becoming arrow

MC v2.5

1. I only got XP in a vmware and Im not able to recreate the problem in there.
2. If i move the mouse over very fast, I can recreate this. I will add it to the fix list

Beta Releases / Re: 2.5 Beta - Build 1106 - Questions

« on: June 09, 2012, 19:22:54 »

Some words about "Save current layout as default" action in columns popup menu.

1. If i uncheck column(s) in popup, then save as default, unchecked column(s) become checked and layout is saved with all columns. So i need to "Customize colums..." first and then save as default. Too many operations to do. I think unchecked columns should not be saved.

2. "Save as default" saves view modes separately for each panel, while colums set is one for both panels. And after saving as default columns set is immediately applied to both panels. I think that default layout should be either different for each panel or the same for both. Not mixed.

1. I know. It is a bit strange. But for now uncheck means temporary disable them. But they are still in the column set, but hidden temporary.
I have it on my list of things to fix in the future. But it is a too big of a code change this close to final release of v2.5

2. If you have 2 panels with the default column layout and you change how the default column layout looks, all views that are showing the default layout will be updated.
Before I had it so that only current view was updated. But it was messy and I got a lots of complains that users needed to go in and update all their views manually.
It think it is better that they are synced. It will only update the other views when you a changing the default column set. And you do not do that often.
