Beta Releases / Re: Re: v11.1 ** BETA ** (Updated 28-Mar) Hang At Startup Issue

« on: March 31, 2021, 14:40:34 »

Hi Mathias.
I can see the values that are added at the end of the xml in what I assume is the correct place:-

Code: [Select]

  </tweak>
    <SortLanguageAware value="0"/>
    <SortFilesBeforeFolders value="0"/>
    <AdjustDateTimeForDTS value="1"/>
    <HighlightSortColumn value="0"/>
  </layout>
  <tweak>
    <CacheRowData value="0"/>
  </tweak>
  <save>
    <path value="1"/>
    <onlylocal value="1"/>
    <sort value="1"/>
    <onlylocked value="0"/>
    <itemfocus value="1"/>
  </save>       
  <selection>
    <comparefolders>
      <files value="1"/>
      <folders value="1"/>
    </comparefolders>
these are echoed at the end on MC shut down as I said.
I added the
 <startup>
  </startup>
beneath   </save>
& MC removed the starup entries & echoed those lines again & is back hanging on the 'loading' comment.

Tried uploading a dmp  & 

Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.

Storage is low on free disk space

......I'll try again later

Updated & ran this build OK for 5hrs approx.
Subsequently shut down & restarted PC & now hangs on splash screen at ''Loading extension : Explorer Panel'' statement.
Needs to be terminated via Task Manager.  Running as Admin on win10 x64.

Following Lukasz' comment, I altered the end section of the ExplorerPanel.xml file & MC then correctly starts.
I.E.

Code: [Select]

<DelayUpdate value="1"/>
<onlylocal value="0"/>
<onlylocked value="0"/>
<itemfocus value="1"/>
<sort value="1"/>

<<<< I commented out this trailing extra block>>>>

<!--<DelayUpdate value="1"/>-->
<!--<onlylocal value="0"/>-->
<!--<onlylocked value="0"/>-->
<!--<itemfocus value="1"/>-->
<!--<sort value="1"/>-->

Closing MC reverts to lock-up at next start with ExplorerPanel.xml being incorrectly formatted again.

Need your help Mathias

Support and Feedback / Re: File Coloring Rules Editor dialog

« on: March 13, 2021, 17:57:00 »

Thanks Mathias.
Well that shows how long I've been happy with my colors 
Only on the last update did my system files suddenly become invisible in dark mode.
The absence of the system files setting threw me but I can see that there are lots of options with the new filter setup, which is good. 
I will have to think about how I can use the increased functions.

Support and Feedback / File Coloring Rules Editor dialog

« on: March 09, 2021, 15:27:24 »

Has the default dialog changed, Mathias?
I added a filter so it does what i want.  But I'm wondering whether the dialog has changed.
It was

but I now get a different version with fewer presets.

I wanted to change the 'System' file colors but that entry doesn't appear to be present in MC v11 b2770 x64 (run as admin, dark mode) editor dialog...

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Use scripted buttons on Search results?

« on: March 02, 2021, 15:23:13 »

Thanks Mathias, not to worry.
I had wondered if it was an obvious or known limitation of the search panel.
I will try & do some experiments & see if I can track it down & get back to you.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Use scripted buttons on Search results?

« on: March 01, 2021, 17:19:41 »

Thanks for the reply Mathias.

I haven't tried many scripts via the RES, but the one that would like most, name as folder (from the thread I mentioned above), doesn't work on single or multiple selected files.
Using less complex instructions does work in some cases e.g. search & replace chars in a found item, works fine.

I'm guessing the call to get the folder name doesn't interpret the virtual path of the RES correctly. 
Maybe I just need to alter how the folder name variable is looked for by MS?

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Use scripted buttons on Search results?

« on: February 28, 2021, 16:34:09 »

I'd like to be able to select files in the RES window & run my scripts on them.

EG Would like to block select & run 'name as folder' script on found files in multiple folders via the RES.
(Re:- http://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php/topic,945.msg2836.html#msg2836 )

I think this may be a complex thing to incorporate given the variables but maybe it's possible???

Support and Feedback / Log file output issue

« on: December 08, 2020, 23:16:04 »

In Win10 with MC 10.1 b2743 x64
Using Log window (file operations tab) I found that using select all > copy to file  for log contents creates an empty 0 byte txt file.   

The contents when just copied are fine & paste into a txt as normal.

One for the bug list?

Beta Releases / Re: v10.0 Beta 2728

« on: September 22, 2020, 17:38:08 »

Thanks for the improvements Mathias.  Liking it so far

I am wondering if there is some way to alter the hidden files & folders coloring in Dark mode when they are shown?
Currently things like pagefile.sys & $WINDOWS.~BT are black when unselected & I'd like to hi-lite the label text but cannot see how 
....& whilst I'm being awkward, I'd also like to put a white border on the "KB" of the Calculate Folder Sizes Icon on the top bar...

Beta Releases / Re: v10.0 b2725

« on: September 21, 2020, 14:09:39 »

Thanks Mathias 2726 fixes it.

The GUI looks good with this makeover. Will you be able to make this quick-launch toolbar Dark also? 

FYI - I noticed that when making the filelist fields Dark the scroll bars stay Dark if/when reverting to original colors until MC is restarted.

The quick launchbar is dark..
ANd yes some UI elements cant be changed untils MC is restarted. After you enabled it there will be a dialog notifying about a restart is required if all UI element should change

Ah, I'm not seeing any restart req'd dialog anywhere so I'm only doing half the job   
Now I just need a way to make all file coloring rules 'neon' automatically 


BTW FTP is working OK for me.
Thanks Mathias.


Update
FYI I noticed the filter dialog (attached) has a problem.

Beta Releases / v10.0 b2725

« on: September 18, 2020, 15:17:20 »

Just updated to this & lost my custom toolbar space.  (I'd added stuff below the drives/Docs etc toolbar).
Any way to recover that extra space? 
Can't seem to see how to do it.  ...or am I half asleep & have forgotten how to do it? 
I tried reloading my saved layout config without effect.
I can add back the custom commands but this tool area won't move from the end of the input cmd/path field.

Support and Feedback / Re: Regex backreference in MultiRename?

« on: July 24, 2020, 13:06:53 »

Thanks Mathias.

I'll see what I can do with scripting 

OT
In the new Find Pane (RES #) are you planning to make scripted buttons accessible for the found items?
I was thinking that it would be nice to be able to rename items via script from the RES pane, eg Name as Folder for items found in sub-folders etc.

Support and Feedback / Regex backreference in MultiRename?

« on: July 23, 2020, 16:59:14 »

I'm wondering if I should be able to use a backreference in MR?

eg to change S27 to Session 27

Code: [Select]

(S\d+)|" - Session "\1
I've tried \1 in a variety of places vs the "" & it won't call it, only giving bad chars warning in the rename preview pane. 

The ECMA REGEX script syntax linked to elsewhere says

\int   |backreference   |the result of the submatch whose opening parenthesis is the int-th (int shall begin by a digit other than 0).
(subpattern)   |Group   |Creates a backreference.
(?:subpattern)   |Passive group   |Does not create a backreference.

Support and Feedback / file search using timestamp

« on: April 11, 2020, 16:23:48 »

MC 9.6.1 b2582 x64 Win10

I'm puzzled by the result I got today using search>advanced>time.
I specified *.* on anything written since 1500, I got 0 hits.
I then tried 1400 & the files appeared.
The timestamps of the files was 1502+ so I don't understand why it needed any adjustment below 1500 to find them.  (1450-59 didn't work either).

I was sure that the sensitivity used to be seconds - or am I doing it wrong?

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.

Support and Feedback / Re: Button Editor: Create New Text File

« on: November 23, 2019, 16:22:15 »

Shift+F4 brings up a notepad instance.
I think you could script it or use the custom commands feature in the button editor with MC/edit/  etc
