Support and Feedback / Re: dragging a file over the tabs area.

Maybe you could make it so that if you press shift when dragging, it won't change the tab. That way one would have both ways.

Support and Feedback / Re: when a share is closed, mc becomes unresponsive

« on: September 19, 2020, 13:04:38 »

I understand. But i still have a feeling there's something not quite ok because total commander and dopus both had less issues with this on my machine. This is the one reason i used those other ones because i do prefer mc for several reasons.
I have the same issue with an usb drive, it goes asleep so it takes a bit time to wake up if i access it, but mc sometimes takes a long time, more than is required for the drive to wake up.
If i get impatient on these unresponsive listers and forcibly restart mc, the splash window says 'loading configuration' for awhile.
A month ago i couldn't get mc to start up anymore, it just kept on saying loading configuration. I installed it anew onto another map, and than it worked ok again.
Maybe this is some help? Keep up the great work please.

Yes i thought that would be the reason. I had opus installed, that one did not change the tab and still did copy to another tab, i don't have it installed anymore so i can't check.
An option for this would be great! Thanks.

Support and Feedback / Re: how to call the WINDOWS Terminal?

« on: September 15, 2020, 21:03:01 »

Install conemu, drag it's exe to the upper buttonbar in Mc, it becomes a qucik launch button and you can set it's parameters like -dir "${sourcepath}"
Alternatively you can go to settings in conemu, integration, default term, check Force conemu as default terminal and add multicommander.exe to the list of executables there.

Support and Feedback / dragging a file over the tabs area.

« on: September 15, 2020, 19:57:46 »

Hi,
I do this often, drag a file from somewhere into another program, browser etc.
When the drag crosses the tabs area, the tab changes to where to mouse crosses there.  Now i have to aim my drag so it crosses the current tab.  If i don't do that, another tab gets focus which is not what i want. I hope you can understand.
Thanks.

Support and Feedback / when a share is closed, mc becomes unresponsive

« on: September 15, 2020, 19:53:54 »

For instance i have a network share to my laptop form the deskop. If i turn off the laptop then on the deskop Mc becomes unresponsive. It was minimized so i tried to maximize it but i got a blank screen and i had to wait a minute or so. There are also variations when it just says 'not responding', but always with either a network share or an ftp tab that has lost connection.
I'd love to see this fixed and have my fav filemanager become more stable.

Support and Feedback / moving a bunch of queued files and skipping one

« on: July 25, 2020, 20:01:55 »

Well i did this, skipped a file from the cue.
Then the lower progress said the files were moved 100% while the above progress bar happily continued to move files.  (fortunately)

Mathias no need to clutter the ui, i wouldn't mind some ini file like

Code: [Select]

[red]
c:\in
d:\in

or

c:\in=red
etc or something like that.

Mathias, i get the error again, look at the pic, it's supposed to find Adams*.ab, as you can see the file is present but the search results are empty. Explorer finds the file. It's the only search criterium, i don't see what i'm doing wrong.
Then i switched to normal mode, did the same search and now it finds them all.
Can't make much sense of it, seems very random.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / tabs for some paths with persistant color, for instance always color d:\in red.

tabs for some paths with persistant color, for instance always color d:\in red.
So that when you make a new tab and browse to d:\in (or subfolder) it will get red. I have a few paths i would love to define that way, not dependant on the tab property but in some setting window like the favourites paths. Or maybe let me assign a tab color to one of those.

Hi folks,
What am i doing wrong, i'm trying to search a map for filenames with the word 'on', but it shows me wrong results. Explorer shows the files are there.

Can't remember what caused it. I didn't change things, on the contrary, now i have some tabs locked and colored i'd like to keep them this way.
I will keep an eye on it, I made a config backup for in case it happens again.
Thanks!

1, it works now, must have missed something, i'm sure it didn't work before, but it's ok now.
2. I understand, it's not a modal window, good luck.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / remember tab colors / multirename key

« on: March 13, 2020, 14:02:43 »

Hello,
1. I just noticed that after a restart mc looses it's tab colors, is there a way to remember/reapply them?
2. On the multi-rename window, please give the Start and Close button both a keyboard shortcut. I would like more keyboard shortcuts in that dialog, after all, when renaming you mostly use the keyboard.
Thanks

ps i donated and was expecting something like contributor status, it's not important, only i didn't see it.

thanks, in the latest version, size is remembered and i can close the window with escape. However there is no way to Start the rename from the keyboard as far as i can see.

If someone is looking for a way to do this, this works for me.

Code: [Select]

@var $files = GetSelectedPaths(), $n;
@var $s = "";
for( $n=0; $n<arrayCount($files); $n++ )
  {
  $s = $s + "\"" + $files[$n] + "\" ";
  }
$s = "c:\myprog.exe " + $s;
MC.Run CMD={$s}

Script / send selected files to a program in the 'send to' list

« on: March 08, 2020, 12:13:03 »

Back at multicommander after a trial of directory opus. Glad to be back, i prefer MC, not only money wise.

Is it possible to send selected files to a program in the 'send to' list by a script?
Another solution for me would be the ability to assign a key to that specific program in the 'send to' list.
The whole idea is that i'd like to send selected files to a utility with just one keystroke.

And possibly make Start the default button when you press Enter, or give it a shortcut key.
And please also some means of closing the multirename window by keyboard. So that when i'm working with it don't have to switch to the mouse.
Thanks.
