Support and Feedback / download previous versions - portable media

« on: February 11, 2013, 08:27:27 »

My MC got screwed when it upgraded to the new beta version. (Running on Win XP 64 bit, it gives an error failed to load MCIcons.dll). Even the stable 64-bit version doesn't seem to work. I would like to download previous versions of the 64-bit but portable. Where can I find that? Thanks.

Support and Feedback / Re: Copying path to clipboard with forward slashes

« on: January 23, 2013, 05:31:58 »

Thanks Mathias.

This works fine but when I select the ".." directory and execute this script I do not get the source path. Where as when I do Ctrl+P when ".." is selected I get the source path. Is there a way to modify the script to get the source path even for ".." directory with this script?

Essentially I am trying to have a replacement for Ctrl+P and make the script do whatever Ctrl+P will do but with forward slashes instead of backward slashes.

Thanks.

Thanks, Mathias and Jungle.

I can write similar scripts to get finename alone, path alone, etc. And I can assign shortcut hotkeys to these. suppose I assign the default
(Ctrl+P, Ctrl+Shift+P, Alt+Shift+P) shortcuts will it create any problems in terms of MC working and functions?

Is there a way by using multiscript I can get the output of Ctrl+P or Ctrl+Shift+P? In that case, I can use that (instead of GetSelectedPaths()) and replace the backward slashes by forward slashes.

Thanks.

I tried the following but doesn't seem to work:

@var $arr GetSelectedPaths();
LogDump($arr);
$arr = StrReplace($arr, "\" , "/");
SetClipboardText($arr);

In general, how do I debug a script. Where does the LogDump dump the output?

When we do a Ctrl+P, it copies the entire path to clipboard with backward slashes like C:\Users\Karthik\.. etc. Is there a way to copy the path with forward slashes like this C:/Users/Karthik/...

Since I am using this path in unix machines, having forward slashes will help greatly instead of me doing a find replace everytime.

Thanks.

Support and Feedback / Folder refresh not happening immediately

« on: January 11, 2013, 12:41:35 »

I am using MC 64-bit latest (beta) version. Here when I copy files to folders (local drive or shared network drives), the files get copied but the files don't show up in the explorer pane. Even after I do the refresh button it doesn't show up. Only after I restart MC it shows up. Could you let me know what could be the cause of such a problem. Thanks.

Support and Feedback / 32 bit and 64 bit

« on: December 22, 2012, 14:14:08 »

I use a 32-bit MC portable version across different computers. One of my computers I use is a 64-bit. While 32-bit MC works fine on the 64-bit machine, is there a strong reason for me to have the 64-bit MC on my 64-bit machines? Will I have some limitation if I use a 32-bit MC on a 64-bit machine? Thanks.

Ctrl+T duplicates the tab in the same panel. Is there a way to get the duplicate tab in the other panel instead of same panel.

Support and Feedback / duplicate tab in panel

« on: December 20, 2012, 08:16:27 »

I know that we can duplicate a tab in panel-1 to a tab in panel-2 by using Ctrl+.

But this replaces the existing tab in panel-2 when the duplication occurs. I would like to create a new tab and duplicate. Is there a short-cut for that? OR how do I replace the Ctrl+. shortcut to do this job?

Thanks.

Support and Feedback / Re: MC install path

« on: December 10, 2012, 09:10:58 »

Thanks for the suggestion. The line works with a slight modification (addition of a \ after the mcinstall path)

This works:
WScript ${mcinstallpath}\..\FreefileSync\HideConsole.vbs ${mcinstallpath}\..\FreefileSync\Compare.cmd "${leftpath}" "${rightpath}"

Thanks again.

Support and Feedback / MC install path

« on: November 29, 2012, 16:51:42 »

I am doing a user defined command and for that I need to get the MC install path - which I can get from ${mcinstallpath}. I need to go up one directory and add a different directory to it. For example if MC install path is C:\Portable\Multicommander, I am writing a Uerdefined command which has the following text:

WScript C:\Portable\FreefileSync\HideConsole.vbs C:\Portable\FreefileSync\Compare.cmd "${leftpath}" "${rightpath}"

I would like to replace the C:\Portable using the main path of multicommander installation. How do I do that?

Thanks.

But that changes the extension to .bak. I would like to keep the extension same and add a tag to the filename instead.

Is there a shortcut to make a copy of the file in the same directory. An equivalent of Ctrl+C followed by Ctrl+V (in windows explorer which creates a copy of the file in the same directory with a tag "Copy" added). Thanks.

Support and Feedback / open a closed tab

« on: September 07, 2012, 08:50:18 »

Is there a shortcut key to open a recently closed tab. (Like in Chrome, when a tab is closed, we can open the recently closed tab using Ctrl+Shift+T  and doing this multiple times opens the recently closed tabs in the order last closed first opened). If this is not already available wouldn't it be useful to add?

Figured that out. A double quote does the job. Thanks.

That helps. But when the source path has a space character the string breaks and does not show the full path.

I would like to call a batch file from within MC using the paths displayed in the two explorer panel path rows as arguments... Something like

runbatch.bat leftpath rightpath

Is there a way to do this?

Support and Feedback / Thumbnail list more

« on: August 23, 2012, 07:07:07 »

I am using the latest version 2.7 Build 1171 (32-bit, Portable on Win7). In View->Exploere Panel -> View Mode, there are three choices (Details, list and Thumbnail list (Beta)). But Thumbnail list (Beta) is greyed out and I am not able to select. The change log for the new version says thumbnail list mode but am unable to use it. Is there any option in Core settings or Explorer panel settings that I need to turn on?

Figured out the problem. When I turn off the Device drop down, then my problem re-appears. When Device Drop down is turned on, it works fine. Can you check if you are able to reproduce the problem? Thanks
