Support and Feedback / Re: How to use unpacking filter correctly?

« on: January 02, 2012, 17:01:05 »

extension is need for filters to work if using wildcard.

But you can try to use exclude filter like example "-*.txt" to unpack everything except *.txt files.
so if you can match everything expect the extension less files you can exclude them and then only the extension less files will be unpacked.

Translation issues
1. File Types manager: as i see - buttons [Add], [Remove], [Reset] have no translation strings

The button is using the MultiLanguage text strings..

Add = g - 21
Remove =  g - 36
Reset = g - 17

(Build 966)

File type manager.
1. It saves profiles, but not permanently (until restart) as it seems. And it is possible to have multiple profiles with the same names.
2. If you select internal program as source, press OK, then select External program, intrernal module name will appear in the edit box (see pic1)
3. Is file age shown correctly. Some minutes ago (18:11) i've created a file. Now is 18:25 and MC shows file age as 6 Hours (see pic 2)

1. Not able to reproduce it. Are you running normal or portable mode ? (transfer to usb)
2. I check if I can fix that..
3. That worked before.  Will investigate what can have changed.

Translation issues
1. File Types manager: as i see - buttons [Add], [Remove], [Reset] have no translation strings
2. Core Settings: Tab Mouse Configuration node with sub-nodes have no translation strings
3. Rotate pictures dialog has no translation string for Options group caption
4. Convert pictures dialog has no translation string for JPEG Quality text

1/2/3/4 Will be fixed
 

1. Adjust EXIF Date: what's the purpose of Previewing %d of %d files? As i see, it always shows n of n flles in the list.
2. What is Smart rename (Tools->Reanme->Similar name, different extension)? How to use it the right way?
3. There is translation file for the PictureViewer, but where is Picture Viewer itself?

1. Try selecting more then 100 pictures.  The previewing is only showing a preview of the first 100 files. so if 200 are selected it will say Previewing 100 of 200 files
2. If you got MyFile.h, MyFile.Cpp, MyFile.inl MyFile.txt and rename any of them to "NewFile" then all the files matching "MyFile.*" will get the new filename
 and you will have NewFile.h NewFile.cpp NewFile.inl NewFile.txt  (Special case rename feature that most people will not use)
3. Press Menu->View file or (F3?) on a .jpg file.  (Unless you change the default viewer for *.jpg in the FileType Setup )

I. Multi-Rename tool

1. Hints aren't displayed.
2. Live preview works even if unchecked.
3. "Error! - Name Conflict" string exists in resource file but displayed in english.
4. When you go from "Previous Rename Sessions" to "Renamed Files" list, the selection in "Previous Rename Sessions" is lost, so it is impossible to detect which session is selected.

1. Hints ??
2. I will have a look at this
3. Will fix
4. Will check if it is possible.

II. File viewer

1. It seems that Auto Reload doesn't work. If you modify the file being viewed, it is not updated in viewer. Only when you select "Reload" and then click, the content is updated.
2. There are no translation strings for Selection popup menu (Highlight - Add, Highligth - Clear, ... etc)

1. Yes auto reload has a bug. You just need to force the first refresh you self.
2. Yes. They are at the moment not translatable. because of some code design issues.. Will be fixed in the future.. someday. But it is not a normal quick fix like other language issues so might be a while.

UPD1: Module rules in Multi-Rename don't work. E.g. [N][?core.size] rule neither updates preview nor actually renames the file.

Strange. That worked before, I Will investigate it, I most have broken something.

UPD2: Plug-in profile manager.
1. There is no translation string for the caption of this dialog
2. If you create new profile with the existing name (e.g. "Test"), no rename suggested. Instead a new profile is created, so there are 2 "Test" profiles. And when you save it, previous profile settings are overwritten. So when you open the manager again, there is only one "Test" profile with last settings and the first one is lost.

1. ??  Title in the Save plugin dialog ??
2.  Will check

UPD3. File Types manger
1. [Reset] action causes MC crash.
2. It is impossible (i can't find out how) to save new profile
  a. [Save] does nothing
  b. [Add] suggests to save currently editing profile but doesn't save. You can press it endlessly without success.
3. Some (all?) original english translation files are ANSI although they have encoding="UTF-8" xml parameter, so e.g. in Picture rotating dialog Unicode degree symbol "°" looks like two symbols "Вє"

1. Not able to crash it. But will check the code what can cause it to happen.
2. (a/b) Im able to save without any problem.
3. the "°" sign is stored as the correct UTF8 character in the language file. So it should be converted correct. Looks good here and in other languages I have here..

At the moment MultiCommander is only using the file extension to identify what archive format a file is.
(There are plans for auto detecting by trying to detect it by opening the file in the future)

If the file does not have any file extension you need to rename the file first to a name with a valid file extension.
if the file has a different file extension like .XZY but really is a zip archive. Then in the Extension Manager select the FSZip Plugin and in option add "XZY" is a file extension for that plugin.

Multi Commander is not reading the desktop.ini file. And right now there is not plan to change that.
However a similar feature like rainbow folders is in the table to be included into Multi Commander in the future.

Support and Feedback / Re: Localized archives opens in a bird's language.

« on: December 19, 2011, 16:56:39 »

This is a common problem with zip.

The problem is that Zip is an old format and in its base format it only support characters in codepage 437.
And this code page does not have any localized characters.

Some program forces localized name into zip. But that creates a bounce of other problem. Like the zip archive can fail to unpack if you try to unpack it on a system with a different language that it was packet on.

Zip has extended its support to include UTF8. But very few program support that.

MultiCommander is following the standard an assumes that the characters are in CodePage 437.
But maybe there should be a way to override.

« on: December 16, 2011, 13:22:31 »

In what situation is it slow ? Normally it should be faster then Windows.

Copying HD to USB Memory Stick has an issue that in default mode it can be a bit slow. But tweaking the read/write stratergy will change that.

Support and Feedback / Re: Compare Folders Select Newest - unexpected results

« on: December 06, 2011, 21:25:53 »

That is very strange.

All tests I do here, it works.  Don't really know why it does not work for you. It should.

NTFS vs FAT only matters when comparing using time. There might be some daylight saving or timezone stuff effecting the FAT32 time.
because some files look to have an diff of exact 1h.. (but not sure since seconds is not shown)

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Multiple MC icons should "stack" in the task bar

« on: December 05, 2011, 19:27:09 »

If it is the same MultiCommander.exe that is started it should stack them unless you change some option in Windows 7 telling it not to.

The default behavior in Windows 7  is to stack them. It is possible for window to opt out if that. And the only window that does that are the Copy progress windows and FileViewer window.

but the Main window should always be stack.
Unless Windows settings preventing it or if the two instances are not the same .exe from the same path.

Support and Feedback / Re: Keyboard File Select

« on: December 04, 2011, 15:22:23 »

You can configure how keys typed in the explorer windows should be handled.

Menu > Configuration > Explorer Panel Settings > (tab) Layout > Keyboard Handling

You can tweak that in different way.
For example if you enable Quick Search, And set Search Keys to "letters only" and disable the search field.
You can start to type something and the focus item will move to the matching item.

If using the search filed. you can also move up/down to next matching file using arrow keys.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: language.

« on: December 04, 2011, 15:14:28 »

Since Multi Commmander is free there is no money to buy translations.

So new languages are only going to be added if someone is creating a translations them self.
And then sending me the language files, I will then include them into the next version.

(A tool for helping with creating translations is included with Multi Commander)

2. Not sure if I understand what the problem is.. You get an error message when doing 'take ownership' on a file that you already are owner on

Yes. You're right. I was confused when tried it several times, because other admin-functions worked well. But then i applied it on the file which had other owner and got success.

Im not able to make it fail here. Might be a XP only issue. Will check XP later
