Title: Viewer and tablet
Post by: scbs29 on May 18, 2013, 15:30:28

Hello
Until I discovered Multi Commander I used PowerDesk. As far as I can see so far (about a weeks usage) MC compares very well with PowerDesk.
However, with PowerDesk the viewer window (accessed with F1 in MC) has the option to be 'always on top' and is automatically refreshed when
another file is clicked while the window is open.
Also, when I connect my Nexus 7 to the pc, in Windows Explorer it is shown as My Computer\Nexus 7. It is not shown in MC.
Would it be possible to add these facilities to Multi Commander ?

a) That will not work as MC is designed. But something similar is planed for the preview panel.


b) MC can only access remote device that get connected as storage devices. (Get connected as a mounted device and gets a device letter)

For devices that does not support that, you can run an app in android that let the device be a SMB network device. You can then you can access the android device as a normal shared folder over the network.
