Support and Feedback / Re: Is there a ${focusfilepath} alternative that works for multiple selected files?
« on: November 23, 2019, 16:41:02 »
I think in this instance it is the fact that "${focusfilepath}" is for a single item in scope, so you need to tell it to recurse the selection for an array of entries.
You could probably script a button then drop the files onto it with MS, maybe button +custom commands (eg MC.Explorer.Selection.Select) will do it.

CTD = Crash To Desktop
...& then crash reporter opens, I did send the reports in a few times but as I was experimenting/trying to debug with it I didn't send 0000s
The MC updates didn't solve it, it was still happening with b2531, then I remembered that if the script had become corrupt, a plain text reformat of the script might solve it & it did.

Still getting CTDs with that script so I decided to copy out the button script to a text-only editor & delete the button contents & save the new state with 'update'.
Copied the plain text back to the button, saved/updated & it's working again!
+ When copied from the text editor to the MSDebugger it also now works perfectly.
Some weird invisible corruption able to crash MC & MSdebug I guess!

I tried with MSdebugger but no info is revealed.

« on: May 30, 2019, 14:25:04 »
Recent Win10 updates have broken some things in MC.
This might be one of those things.
I tend to stick to details view 90% of the time but IIRC I had a thumbnail issue a little while ago.
Using MC 8.9 b2520 beta x64, thumbnails work & this Win10 is fully updated.

I have had a few moments of scratching my head with the script so I too am glad to know I'm not alone pncdaspropagandas
I just tried your script on a dir with varied files - zip, rar, 7z + epub & pdf.
The debugger lists the last file - a .pdf - as soon as it reads the directory, lists it as being the array (see pic) & then ends on the next step.
Why does it jump to the .pdf instead of the actual archives...?
On a dir with nothing but a single rar it ends with 0 instances found. (array size = 0)
So something is definitely weird.

I'll have another look at it as I assume that you haven't had any other instances of this occurring.

MC v8.9 b2517 x64 on W10
Hope this is the right place for this...
I've had issues with crashing when running the internal zip command via a scripted button.
This always crashes MC (CTD) - I did send in the bug report incl the script used on a couple of earlier builds but it is still occurring.
The internal zip/rar handling allows me to click through to the contents OK it's just when I call that script.
I am wondering if this is related to MScript as some other scripts that always worked before now sometimes seem to take a while to process.

Support and Feedback / Re: Losing Focus When Task Complete
« on: April 04, 2019, 11:34:03 »
OK thanks guys.
I had a sequence of different hardware, different driver builds & variable focus loss on 2 PCs with W10 so I wondered... Navigating away within MC seems to always defeat this loss tho.
Thanks for creating some code to handle this Mathias

« on: April 01, 2019, 13:24:05 »
I've had the same problem since win10 1809.
When I have multiple windows open it will pull up the last viewed window, losing MC focus.
I do not need to navigate away during the MC operation, just to move around with MC & other windows running.
e.g. I use the browser then switch to MC, run an op, wait for MC to complete it's task & then browser will pop-up.
BUT If I navigate up/out from the source dir whilst op is running I do not lose focus
I am suspicious of the VGA driver involvement in this as it appears more frequent on some AMD driver versions than on NVDA. I do not have enough different hardware to test this suspicion fully tho

e05470df6fa74db19ad73aa2c34228ba ? that is a ID of your UserDefinedCommand ?
Then it depends on what that command was using.
Ah ok, I thought the ref # was the command called not the UDC ref #. I'd previously had 'find files' selected in the dropdown & making a new UDC with that reselected restored that ref #.
Will see what happens with the new build.

I went thru the command selection process again & assigned e05470df6fa74db19ad73aa2c34228ba (again?!) & now it's working OK so that is just MC giving me a slap in the face I think

So far so good for me - no CTDs etc.
Ref the search panel - I'd previously assigned it to a toolbar button - that is now broken, has the reference ### changed or...?
The RES# method seems more versatile but I'd like the window to open in the opposite pane as per old behavior or is that switchable via options?
I will keep digging just in case this is me not & MC
Thanks for the continued MC dev work Mathias

You can set up custom buttons & special define user commands
See

I use eg -
MC.Explorer.Copy NODIALOG USEEXISTINGQUEUE
& have ones for move & delete

Just wondering if it might be AV related? Do you see the xml timestamp change when you update it?
I've never had this layout error, but I have had the MDV refuse to keep altered settings without my manually editing the xml.

« on: February 21, 2019, 14:27:20 »
That is normal, MC doesn't save it's status on a timer or as a temp file etc.
You need to manually save sessions in file>tab sessions or use the last used session config which is saved when MC is normally closed & which auto-loads on MC restarting.

There are 'history' options.
The 2 dark blue arrow buttons on the left of lowest row of top buttons will navigate the history relative to each tab.
Hi-lite a tab & move about then click these back/forward arrows to retrace the moves, RMB or holding down LMB on an arrow will bring up the history to see/select the travel stops. There is a full history button next to them (clock).
Parent is accessible via the 'normal' windows folder+green arrow in the top right of each tab, root is \.
Can't recall but you may need to define a custom command to make these things keyboard shortcuts....

Any chance of adding a Skip All button to this dialog?
I was copying/moving files from the Search pane to a folder, some files were duplicated & MC asked each time rather than giving the skip all or other options.
