Support and Feedback / Re: How to prevent folders from opening when dragging a file

« on: August 30, 2023, 20:09:40 »

I have only one arm.
Too bad!

To assign the ctrl, alt, and shift keys to mouse buttons, you need a mouse with additional buttons. Some gaming mice have enough buttons for this purpose.

Support and Feedback / Re: MC displays multiple copies of files and folders

« on: August 24, 2023, 16:33:09 »

I suppose this problem occurs only with USB drives. When I use USB drives, I encounter the same issue. You don't need to restart MC; just selecting "View > Refresh" (F1 in my configuration) should suffice to display the folder properly.

@Tommy: Sorry, now I understand what you mean. When I drag and drop a file into the folder tree, it scrolls to the right. Yes, this should be disabled. I'm sorry for being slow on the uptake.

@Mathias (Author): Maybe you can also disable the horizontal autoscroll for the mouse cursor while drag and drop, and the same in the Explorer Panel?

Yes I found this and unchecked this setting.
But the horizontal scrolling continues

Did you save the settings and restart MC? It works perfectly for me. If the "Auto adjust horizontal scrollbar" option is unchecked and the settings are saved, then nothing will scroll horizontal automatically anymore.

Matthias, congratulations on new release (and new home).

Will the Microsoft Store version be updated, or is it permanently broken?

many thanks

I am not the developer and my post was pointless. I'm not referring to the MC-App, but the Microsoft Store app on my computer. I don't use apps from the Microsoft Store, so it doesn't matter that the Microsoft Store no longer works on my computer.

Mauseinstellungen> Rechte Maustaste> Einzelauswahl - You have to hold down the button and then you can make selections similar to using a lasso.

This might only work in the commander style.

If you use the right mouse button to select files, it will autoscroll. Go to Configuration > Explorer Panel Settings > Mouse Configurations > Right Mouse Button > Click > Select the option "Toggle Selection".

Copy the folder '....MultiCommander64\Config' from your old portable installation to your new portable installation. Ensure to replace all existing files. Make sure to close MC before starting this process.

Support and Feedback / Re: Network Issue

« on: June 10, 2023, 18:41:51 »

This works for me. I click on 'network', and my network computers are listed. It seems that you might be using an older version of Windows. I suspect there was a bug in the early versions of Windows 10. However, it could also be that your network computers are not in the same workgroup, and are set to 'public' instead of 'private'.

Configure the power button for sleep mode and press that power button when you leave your computer. And remove the pointless energy-saving plan.

Beta Releases / Re: v13.0 **BETA**

However, I was merely extracting a single file, and the option was unavailable as it was greyed out.

An archive is not being unpacked in the target folder, but rather in a subfolder of the target folder with the same name as the archive. I believe I recall this behavior being different in the past, when I could unpack the contents of the archive directly into the target folder.

Support and Feedback / Re: Simple tree and file pane view

« on: May 07, 2023, 10:43:39 »

However, an easy way to get this one-pane view is to go to View > "Full pane width." You can also use F11. If F11 is not the key for full pane width in your configuration, then go to Configuration > "Keyboard Customization" > Module: "Multicommander Core" > View - "Full Pane Width" and create it. The 2-panel layout is a main feature of MC, and there are reasons why the single panel view cannot be saved.

I need the Button, which is under File, directly on top in the menu bar or a Keyboard shortcut to get the Session-List.

I cannot enable this toolbar. Under View > Toolbars, there is only the Command Line bar. But I guess I don't need this bar anyway.

Is this a new function? I've never seen this before, and I don't have a toolbar with this button. Also, this option is not available in the settings. And I can't find this button. Just pressing Alt+Q enables and disables this function.

Support and Feedback / Re: skip errors in copy operation

« on: April 14, 2023, 14:04:27 »

For such copy operations, the simple copy method is not the right way. You need a synchronizer like Beyond Compare or the synchronization tool from FreeCommander or TotalCommander. MC does not have a synchronization tool. I use Beyond Compare and sometimes the synchronization tools from FreeCommander and TotalCommander.

And for Backup, all these tools are not the right way. I use an old version of Acronis True Image for backups.

« on: April 08, 2023, 13:22:36 »

MC should not wait for Windows to time out with something. One request should be enough. After that, MC should do its own thing and let the explorer.exe handle the silly stuff. Maybe the best solutuion is:

Code: [Select]

taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F

You should create a "Find and Replace - List" with Excel in a Format that u can insert in the sub-window which you find when you click on the three dots button right beside the Add-Button.
Follow this rules, this can all be made with excel.:

Separate each find and replace pair with |
Only one find and replace pair per line
Load - Press F1 to F10
Save - Press F1 to F10 while holding shift key

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Favorite should display name instead of Path

« on: December 06, 2022, 19:53:16 »

I use Ctrl+F and Ctrl+N for other funktions. How can i open the favorite-window without the command line bar? Such problems have i olso in other programs. All Keyboard-Shortcuts should be configurable. Ctrl+F is common used for Find and Ctrl+N is common used for a new instance or a new window. Firefox for example need no new instance for a new window.
