Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Change the icon of folders...

It uses the icon that Windows is using for folders, So changing what icon windows is using should change that.

Support and Feedback / Re: Font of somes 7z files are bigger than default lister font...

« on: August 19, 2012, 15:15:59 »

Im not sure how you manage that. The list can only handle one font. Only colors and bold/normal can be different for the items inside the list

Maybe you changed font and only one of the panels got updated ?
Files can have different colors based on name/ext matching or if it is hidden/system. That the file is inside a 7z file does not matter, the list view does not know that. it just shows file and colors of them can change based on name or file attributes.

To get it added to the download package, Just Press the Export button in the Language editor and send the file to me privately or upload it at http://multicommander.com/upload/
It does not need top be 100% complete.  Just send a new file when you ( or somebody else ) have added more to it.

Support and Feedback / Re: Full pane width not preserved

« on: August 17, 2012, 14:58:54 »

That is by design. Multi Commander is design to use a Source and Target panel. And If you go full width on some of the panels the other panel still exists. And some function still use it and focus can still be there. So to avoid mistakes it will always make sure that both panels are shown at restart.
You can toggle a panel to full o half with width Ctrl+F11. but if you are using only one panel all the time you are missing how MC is designed to work, and some functions will behave strange.

Ahh was only a stack overflow problem.  The thumbnail threads are run with minimal stack usage. And the RAW decoder required a bit more. So just increasing the stack a bit will fix that.

1. Is it possible to disable the behaviour of switching tabs on dragging files? Or maybe include modifier (ctrl/alt/shift).

When i drag files to the quicklaunch and mouse is over other tab, that tab becomes active.

No it can not be disabled. Is that really a big issue?.. can't you just drag the files around the tab area. ?

2. Will it be possible to pass multiple files to quicklaunch buttons?

Depends on what you mean. Dropping multiple files as a parameter to an existing button, Yes
Dropping multiple files to be added as buttons.  No..

3. Space key selects files/folders and calculates folder size. Is it possible to make it move cursor down like Insert does?

Their are plans to make them customizable.. But the problem is that the space and insert commands are a bit special and it is not easy to make to them user customizable in a good way.

Pressing ESC should break quick search and close the quick search window.

But maybe the quick search settings you have make it fail.. So how is quick search configured for you ?

Support and Feedback / Re: Open New Panels With Tree Visible (internals)

« on: July 30, 2012, 09:24:08 »

Well, i don't try to change your mind I like the possibility to perform several simultaneous searches. You're right, everything should be easy. And efficient.

Even if I wanted to change It would be to late now. But there is a lot of caching and memory sharing, ref counting and things in MC that makes sure that it does not waste memory and that performance is not slow.

[irony] It just makes me sad when i see an application with single empty form that does nothing and has size ~1Mb. And i can't understand how the hell 2GHz CPU + 1Gb RAM + 128Mb video can not be enough for playing Tetris or 8-bit style game! [/irony]

Yes that is just bad programming.

I can say nothing about smartphones since i've never had one, but i definitely prefer to have one phone for all my contact list rather than lots - phone per contact   

More like many contact applications inside the phone can use the same contact list. But the point with the phone thing was the app model that phones are using.
MC is kind of similar with its plugin API. MC is build around a app model where the Explorer Panel and search, checksum, (and more) are Apps that is build using the core API layer. This make it easy to add new features and extend MC. It makes everything modular and easier to maintain and update.

Yes of course performance is important. That is one of the reason it is done this way. Sharing GUI you had to remember the state and content of everything manually.  There also would have been a delay when saving/restoring the state was soon as you changed tab. But it probably would not be that noticeable since a computer are really fast.
And the code would be horrible and not modular.

Now all instance of an "apps" (like the Explorer Panel) are self contained like they are own programs running inside a program witch make then easier to extend. And the app module also make it easier to add new features.

(And if it is never shown then it is never fully created, and does not take up any resources)

If i want to always see a tree, it means that it will be created for every tab. And for 10 tabs on each side there will be 100 trees? But since there is always one visible active tab on each panel, it means that actually only 2 trees needed.

100..?? no you have only 2 sides not 10..  so of 10 tabs on the left and 10 to the right,  20 instances of the explorer panel is created.

You could technically use the same Tree/List elements for all tabs and only show the content for the active tabs. But that would be messy. And is not good coding.

Every instance of a Explorer Panel\Search\LanEditor\CheckSum  is like an "app" (Like the one you have in smartphones.).  but instances of showing them in own windows they are shown in tabs.

Press the tree button or Alt+Num* to toggle it.  by default it is always off.

So each tab has its own tree? Or just some attribute? I think each explorer panel should have only one tree and it should be either always visible for all tabs or always hidden.

A tab is a new instance of a Explorer Panel. and the Tree is located inside the tab. so every tab has its own tree.  It is just not shown by default. (And if it is never shown then it is never fully created, and does not take up any resources)

Not sure I understand what you are doing.

If you do a copy, then the folder should still be their. it is a copy.. or you mean that you did a move ?
and if so.. How did you move the folder?

Does a refresh/reload ( F2 or F5 depending on key setup ) fix it ?
