Feature Requests and Suggestions / MCTAB-Files shouldn't save the focus information of the panel.

« on: September 21, 2017, 08:50:12 »

Since which release save MC the File Focus Information tonthe MCTAB-Files? My older files don't contain such useless information.
I was scared about that after every restart the focus is on a very old file.
Please remove this new feature again.

I deleted just all focus informations from the files.

This new feature is imo useless.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Renaming without Filename Extension

« on: August 27, 2017, 15:30:27 »

When attempting to rename a file and need to select the last word in the filename with double click, the word will be selected together with the filename extension. This is not good. Better is a dialog box with separate fields for filename and extension, or a better separation of filename and extension in the direct rename field.

Support and Feedback / New Tab on target panel have a wrong size of folder tree

« on: August 22, 2017, 12:43:29 »

I created a user defined command:

Code: [Select]

MC.Explorer.NewBrowser PATH="${focusfilepath}" SIDE=TARGET
MC.SetActivePanel PANEL=INACTIVEAnd gave them the simple hotkey Right-Arrow.

This User defined command create a new tab on target panel with the path of the folder or file  in focus. This is a very useful command, i use it every day.

But the new tab start with a different size of the folder tree.

If i use Ctrl+T for creating a new tab-copy on source-panel, the size are not wrong. Also if starting a New MC instance without using the bat file the size are not wrong.

« on: August 11, 2017, 17:21:28 »

When paste a full path of a file, the file should be on focus. At time nothing in focus. For me is this a bug and no feature and i know 2 other file explorers which do it like i want. The Windows Explorer not, but the windows explorer is so bad that we should not talk about.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Don't save settings when exit optional

« on: July 11, 2017, 17:58:36 »

Do not save the settings when exit will be nice. A save settings button is enough and if pressed this button the settings saved and when exit do nothing. This is good when use more than one instances and want change settings. Maybe this option should be optional because of the normal users.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Show only the selected drive in the Folder Tree

« on: July 11, 2017, 17:46:06 »

Sometimes the folder tree confuse me because to much folders and drives visible, but i use the tree sometimes and in Full HD is enough space for the trees. Showing only the selected drive will be really nice. The selected drive is then on top of the tree and not somewhere.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / If some Files selected and double click at another file

« on: July 11, 2017, 14:57:38 »

If some Files selected and double click at another file, all selected files will be opened (when permanent selection is enabled  in commander mode), but the file on which made the double click won't be opened. This is in my eyes a bug and no feature, because only when using the enter key should all selected files be opened. It have several reasons why i don't use the windows selection mode. One reason is, i dislike 100% of the windows explorer. A other reason is, when selecting some files, maybe you need to open a file and keep selection, this is also for images needed, sometimes while selecting some images, you need to watch a image big without losing selection, and normally it works with the double click and not only with a user defined command.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Copy a Tab beside the active tab and not at the end of all tabs

« on: April 05, 2017, 16:25:00 »

If making a Tab-Copy with Ctrl+T the copy will be created at the end of all opened Tabs. It will be very much better when this Tab-Copy will be created directly beside the active Tab just because a better order of the opened tabs. Maybe is also a thing like Child-Tabs possible. In Firefox i use also such a setup. If i start new tabs in firefox with ctrl and mouseclick on a link, the new tabs will be loaded in background and the first tab will be created beside the active tab and all next beside the new background tabs. Only with this config is a good internet experience possible. And when u make another tab active, firefox start again beside the active tab for loading the next background tabs. So is it possible to have more than one issus in one single window, but  use crtl+n if i search something different.... this is only for example.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Shark CAD slows Multicommander Tab Loading speed extremely down

« on: April 01, 2017, 11:26:07 »

I guess MC and Shark CAD won't work together. Maybe this programs using the same windows features....... Thats not good. Hoping devs won't using such windows resources.

Now i use only 3 instances. Thats enough. The third instance is for loading different tab layouts and the first and second are my main working space. MC is still the best.

Support and Feedback / What do MultiCommander with the Modify Date when copy over Network?

« on: December 20, 2016, 15:26:03 »

It removes the Modify Dates and created a new modify-date= copy-date. Most time i use BC for copying anything and MC only for starting programs/Files and Multirename, therefore i see this only sometimes...... I made another copy with BC and the Date was right. Maybe i have some thing in the settings wrong, but such a behavior need imo nobody.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Administrator Mode with Keyboard Shortcut

« on: November 03, 2016, 12:35:14 »

My system refused to start because of a corrupt C:\Windows\System32\System (Most reason when a Windows system dont start anymore after Repair) and i attempted on a running system with MC (i dislike the command line...) to copy the windows made backup from C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\ to make the system running again. But MC was unable to open this folders. Then i started MC as administrator and it was possible to replace the corrupt System-File (a file without extension). Thats the history.

MC have a problem with Daylight-Savings when started as administrator. Therefore is the Administrator-Mode better than starting as Administrator. And MC is not everytime able to turn the administrator mode on if needed. When moving shortcuts on startmenu go MC correctly on administrator mode, but when trying to open special protected folders like C:\Windows\System32\config\ it don't work.

Therefore please give us a Custom Command like MC.AdminMode.
The Admin.Mode should go off when press this button again...

Support and Feedback / Adobe Reader end of Full Screen View go to MultiCommander

« on: May 21, 2016, 10:14:14 »

When i start a PDF from Multicommander and with Adobe Reader, and watch it in Full screen View (Ctrl+L) and end the Full Screen View also with Ctrl+L, then is the MultiCommander on Screen and not the normal View of Adobe Reader. I have no Idea why. But this bug should be fixed.  I guess it have to do with how Multicommander open Programs.

Support and Feedback / Multiple Instances of the 64 Bit Edition slows the Computer down

« on: May 15, 2016, 14:21:01 »

When using the 64 Bit Edition in multiple Instances, are there alot of problems with the dllhost.exe and it will slow down the whole Computer after some hours. The Menu of all programs will be slower, and the longer the computer will not be restartet the slower run it. Also Loading of Tab-layouts need then alot more time (ca. 1Tab/s). This is not because of the CPU Usage, it run also slow when 95% of cpu are free available.

I thought then i use in future just one instance, but its not really what i need and today i was testing the 32 bit edition.

The 32 bit Edition do not use the dllhost.exe and i created a batch File to start 10 Instances of MC32 Bit and it works very well and the computer go fast like fresh restartet also after hours of use.

Batch File to start multiple instances (Example)

Create some User defined Commands for loading Tab-Layouts:

Code: [Select]

MC.LoadTabs FILENAME="${mcconfigpath}\Layouts\Arbeitsplattform.mctab" REPLACE
MC.LoadTabs FILENAME="${mcconfigpath}\Layouts\Dokumente.mctab" REPLACE
MC.LoadTabs FILENAME="${mcconfigpath}\Layouts\Downloads.mctab" REPLACE
MC.LoadTabs FILENAME="${mcconfigpath}\Layouts\Internetseiten.mctab" REPLACE

Create a new Text File with Notepad2

Code: [Select]

Start "Arbeitsplattform" "C:\Program Files (x86)\MultiCommander\MultiCommander.exe" -AutoRun="Arbeitsplattform" -T="Arbeitsplattform"
Start "Dokumente" "C:\Program Files (x86)\MultiCommander\MultiCommander.exe" -AutoRun="Dokumente" -T="Dokumente"
Start "Downloads" "C:\Program Files (x86)\MultiCommander\MultiCommander.exe" -AutoRun="Downloads" -T="Downloads"
Start "Internetseiten" "C:\Program Files (x86)\MultiCommander\MultiCommander.exe" -AutoRun="Internetseiten" -T="Internetseiten"
Change the Encoding of that file to "Western European (DOS-850)"
Save the file as YourMCstartname.bat
Use this File to start multiple instances of MC with one click.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Quick-Filter - Automatic quotation marks and semicolon as delimiter

« on: May 02, 2016, 12:43:47 »

The quick-Filter should add quotation marks automatically to every searchword and using a semicolon as delimiter when using more than one searchwords for multiple filtering.

And it shoulf be another namefilter added which can use a List as Filter Criterion. The delimiter is then just a line break.
Here a example of a namefilter. The source of such searchwords is most time a Excel table.

01YTB04d15347.pdf

01JRB04dBEG00319.pdf
01XFB04d15326.pdf
01YGB04d15329.pdf

This searchwords in this list can contain spaces. This mean, also here should the quotation marks automatically added. The number of searchwords should be infinitely.

I have found a program (BC) which contain such a filter in April 2016. But it was my idea, i posted it long time ago on the freecommander forum.
