I would like to
- see the name and extension as a single line in the Name column so that it is easy to edit
- have a Type column that shows the associated program
The screenshot example is taken from Windows 7 Explorer.
Menu > Configuration > ExplorerPanel Settings
Under the Detail view mode settings
( or just type ":gosetting ExplorerPanel/layout/FileExt" in the commandline field and press enter )
The type column like the one in Explorer is not available since MC is not built on top of Windows Shell.
Thanks!
For file types, you could cache the extensions and descriptions from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT in the registry. You could just need minor filtering and trimming of the descriptions to be able to match those of Windows Explorer.
I know but that is not a good way.. But there are other ways.
However it is not added since I never seen a need for it. Also there been other things to add.
Might maybe be added in the future if there really is a need for it.
