Support and Feedback / Bugs of CopyFile script function

« on: January 23, 2014, 12:24:11 »

I have the following script:

Code: [Select]

@var $dst = GetTargetFocusPath();
@var $src = GetSourceFocusPath();

CopyFile( $dst, $src, "" );
Target focused path is E:\temp\_mc_test\1, source focused path is E:\temp\_mc_test\2.

Debugger shows:

Code: [Select]

$dst  string  E:\temp\_mc_test\1
$src  string  E:\temp\_mc_test\2
Bug #1. When dialog appears, target path is E:\temp\_mc_test\ instead of E:\temp\_mc_test\1 (so if "NODIALOG" parameter is passed to CopyFile, error occurs "...Can not copy a file to itself").

Bug #2.  MC crashes when [Cancel] button is pressed in this copy dialog. It happens if copy was called from debugger.

Now assign this script to a QuickLaunch button. Enable Allow - Rearrange of buttons option for QL bar.

Bug #3. After copy dialog appears, this button will move over QL bar following mouse cursor (even if cursor is outside QL). Now:
  a) if you press Esc copy dialog will be closed and the button will take new position;
  b) if you click somewhere outside QL bar the button will take previous position and keep focus cursor around itself;

Feature Requests and Suggestions / FR: Improve CopyFile/MoveFile script functions

« on: January 23, 2014, 11:40:49 »

It would be great if CopyFile/MoveFile functions could accept string arrays for targetPath and sourceFile.
So it would be possible to copy items to multiple folders and get less warning messages.

P.S. Maybe also add new parameter "NEWQUEUE" to force creating new queue.

oktom,
changing system settings doesn't affect MC, am i right? Have no idea what's wrong. As you can see on attached pictures, normally it works.

Support and Feedback / File coloring is not always refreshed for both panels

« on: January 22, 2014, 05:18:03 »

1. [Create new coloring profile and] add a rule.
2. Set it to Attributes :: Has :: D
3. Set some background color, e.g. green.
4. Save and close coloring wizard.

Result: both panels now have green-colored folders

5. Now go to wizard and uncheck that rule.
6. Save and close.

Result: coloring is refreshed only for active panel.

Support and Feedback / Re: MC doesn't update drives in minimized to tray state

« on: January 15, 2014, 08:36:06 »

you can type ":rdrive" in the commandline bar to refresh drives.

Maybe it should be done automatically after restoring from tray?

View/Selection filters

1. In blog post you write

By pressing the right mouse button on the Add Selection/Remove Selection toolbar buttons a dropdown menu with quick selection option will be shown.

But what if i've disabled file operations toolbar? Is there other way to show [un]Selection filters?
Maybe right/middle click on the selection status at the bottom of explorer panel?

2. "Need help ?" link in View/Selection Filters setup dialog shows tooltip about user commands.

After scanning newtwork MC closes a long time even if cache is disabled

Don't understand what the problem is ?

1. Start MC.
2. Close MC.

Result: MC closes very fast

3. Start MC
4. Open Network
5. Perform Scan
6. Close MC

Result: It takes long for MC to close. "Not responding" message may appear in the Title bar

It happens even when computer cache is disabled.

Picture viewer.

1. I've set Picture viewer options to "Resize window to picture". When i zoom it in or out, window is resized but picture is not centered (see pic).

2. "Remember window position and size" seems to be nonworking.

And little feature request: option to center window on desktop (on open).

Localization. Some items seem to be hardcoded.

1. File types setup dialog: "Icon", "Override default icon", "Refresh", "Remove", "Add"

2. Button editor dialog: "Icon", "Description"

3. Tab context menu: "Tab properties..."

4. Column setup dialog: "Current column layout", "Available columns", whole Column properties group

---

P.S. 5. MultiViewer: Entire Find panel

6. Scan Network: "Abort" and "Aborting"
6.a Not enough space for "Pleas wait..." message

7. FS-Zip settings strings present only in FSZip_def.xml

File Checksum issues

1. Create new checksum file
2. Add some files
3. Uncheck all.
4. Press start.

Result: "verifying" process will not end and can't be interrupted (pause/stop buttons do nothing)

---

If i put cursor on a svf-file and choose Tools > File checksum > Verify svf-file file reference existents, nothing happens. The file should be selected, but why single file have to be selected?

--

In verifying file reference existence there are messages like
"1 SFV files have missing files"
"Totally missing 1 files"

I think they shoud be "redesigned". E.g.
"Inconsistent SFV files: 1"
"Total missed files : 1"

File types.

1. Icon in "View"/"Edit" tabs is not displayed if icon file path is relative or enclosed by quotes (see pic1)

2. Icon in "Icons" tab, "Extensions" column is not displayed if icon file path is enclosed by quotes (see pic2)

3. Icon is not applied (to file list) if icon file path is enclosed by quotes

4. If you add new extension in "Icons" tab, then "Override" icon for that file type in "View"/"Edit" tabs, you will see only one entry in the "Icons" tab until MC restart. If you uncheck "Override" again (before restart), this entry will disappear from Icons list.

5. If you create new entry in e.g. "Edit" tab, type extensions or/and parameters and then choose path to program, extensions and parameters will be cleared.

6. It's a little bit confusing that in "Icons" tab extension should be typed without "*." (e.g. txt) whereas everywhere else it should be typed with "*." (e.g. *.txt)

7. Custom icons are only applied after MC restart, but there are no any warning.

Any pointers for the script?

You have to write it by yourself. Manuals are in the online docs on the main site.

One more thing. It is possible to create special column set that will be applied when you open predefined directories.

« on: November 05, 2013, 09:18:22 »

The path to the referenced file or folder for symlinks is shown immediately after the symlink name i.e.

symlinkname->path to referenced file or folder

A) how can referenced path be suppressed, I find it 'very untidy'

Explorer Panel options > Display > Sorting and Columns > Show link target in name column

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Auto scroll file list to make last column fully visible

« on: October 22, 2013, 10:28:06 »

See pic.
Last file column is not fully visible (it has smaller width than previous).
I'd like MC to automatically scroll file list when file cursor moves to such "partial" column.
