Support and Feedback / Re: making multi commander default

« on: August 03, 2011, 08:25:22 »

You can not replace it as the default shell in window. If you did that all your desktop icons will go away, and some of the feature in Multi Commander depends on Windows Explorer.

It might be possible top tweak Windows Explorer so that when clicking on my computer or folder. Mulit Commander would open.
But I don't know exactly how to do this. It has something to do with changing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder in the registry.
You can try google for that, But I do not recommend messing around in the registry like that, unless you really know what you doing. If you do decided to change things there. Make a backup first.

No there is no constant for that.. I might add some for the next release.

You can try to edit the config file manuall.

"Menu > Go to > config folder" and  then edit MultiCommander.xml

The find the editors tag and change that

eg

<editors>
    <editor name="Notepad2" cmd="..\n2\notepad2.exe" parameters="${filepath}" ext="*"/>
</editors>

I got it working with notepad2

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Change font size of path bar

« on: August 02, 2011, 17:00:27 »

You can.. sort of.

It is the font for 'Path' in the configuration. However, there is a bug so that the height of the path field is not changed. So if the font is to big it will be clipped.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Need better documentation of Explorer Panel Settings Layout

« on: August 02, 2011, 16:57:59 »

You right

The documentation could be better, I got a long list with documentation stuff I should improve. I will put you recommendations on that list.

Unfortunately I had to prioritize bug fixing over writing documentation. But I will update the documentation when I get some time over.

The expiration date is when the program will force the user to update to a newer version.

This because I do not want to receive bug reports, crash reports and issues for old versions, because thous issues are most likely already fixed.

File Editor Setup dialog when configuring what file editor to use. Type in a path that are relative to the installation path of MC.

for your example that would be

eg  "..\fastEditor\fastEditor.exe"

It is free for both personal and commercial usage. unless you are an evil person, Then you must pay , But since evil person are evil, I don't except to see any money from them.

MC did require purchase of license before. But when changing it to free and removing text that was referring to registered/purchase, some was missed. But they are removed when I find them.

So it is not just when you start it should calculate folders size. It is all the time. As soon as it finds a folder it should start checking the size for the folder?

Don't that slows thing down? Scanning the harddrive like crazy all the time, or are you settings a filter so it only do that under some path ?

You want it to start rescanning all the folder to get their sizes every time you start ?

Support and Feedback / Re: How do I change the default editor?

« on: August 01, 2011, 20:03:47 »

Very strange. I have been trying to make it fail. But Im failing at making it fail.

Only idea I have is that is fails to save the configuration.

If you go to
Menu > Help > Goto > Config Folder

You can see if the time of MultiCommander.xml file is changed when you save the file editor configuration.

« on: August 01, 2011, 18:04:26 »

Also make sure you do not remove the "*" under the "File extensions to use this editor"
* means default.

If the * is not there, it will not be the default editor, and it will fallback to notepad.exe when open, but the dialog should still show your changed.

If the dialog reverts back. then the changes was not saved. Or saving failed

A plugin for advanced mass renaming is under development.

But a limited mass renaming is already supported.

Menu > Tools > Rename > Replace text in name

It can replace a subtext in all the selected file with a new text.

Support and Feedback / Re: How do I use tabs?

« on: August 01, 2011, 17:37:34 »

And you can duplicate a tab with Ctrl+T

Duplicate tab will create a new tab showing the same path as the one you press CTRL+T on.

If you right click on a tab you will get a popup menu with the tab commands.

More script function is definitive needed.
And you got a good point about the functions you mention. I will add something like that for the next beta release.

If you have the need for any more functions just let me know and I will see what I can do.

Support and Feedback / Re: Copy files with long filepaths

« on: July 28, 2011, 07:48:15 »

Internally MC supports paths up to 4096 characters.

Support for long paths are limited. It works in some places and some don't. Multi Commander is using 3th party code for a lot of things. Like for example archives like 7zip, rar and so on, and they might have problem with long path. It has not been tested

The main functions have only been limited tested with long paths. when working with files on local harddrive.
