Beta Releases / 1470 issues and questions

« on: August 17, 2013, 20:26:10 »

1. Keyboard customization dialog captions "Hotkey" and "Name tag" seem to miss translation strings.

2. Delete dialog does'n use localized string for caption at the start. E.g. try to delete non-empty folder. Warning dialog will be shown. At this time delete dialog has caption "Deleting".

3. I don't understand the purpose of putting options "Continue on error" and "Delete all" in delete dialog.
  a) if there are many "problematic" files (ro/hidden/system) you will simply have no time to check them;
  b) buttons "Skip all", "Delete all" in error dialog should act exactly as if those options were enabled.

So instead of one properly working scheme there are now two partially working schemes. Btw, there is the same problem with copy/move dialog. If there're many blocked files you always need to confirm skip/delete partial. Try to copy e.g. "Documents and settings" folder (Win XP).

4. Color rules dialog is non-localizable

5. When i press "Add" button in color rules dialog, MC freezes and can't be killed.

Maybe this is related to the drag n drop focus grabbing I mentioned in another post?

Not sure. As i said i close all apps, launch MC and begin resizing. Just a few resize operations reqiuired to get cursor trapped.

Maybe some kind of debug tool can help?

P.S. I've noticed that after cursor is locked new resizing always unlocks it.

I just start MC and begin resizing, nothing special. Tried also with default settings and MultiCommander style - the same result.

Bug with horizontal mouse cursor locking still exists in 1457. Appears after column resizing. The easiest way to see it is resizing Size/Date column (via separator between these columns).

Win 7 x64 Enterprise, MC 3.3.0 b1457

P.S. I haven't noticed such effect in other apps. I also tried closing all apps before launching MC.

I confirm bug with inplace rename for current beta 1452. Steps:
1. Launch MC
2. Open inplace rename. OK. <e> and <n> acts like chars
3. Cancel rename
4. Press and release Ctrl key
5. Open inplace rename. BUG. <e> and <n> toggle ext/name selection
6. Cancel rename.
7. Open inplace rename. All OK again.

Bug with mouse cursor is easily reproducible on Win 7 x64 and MC v3.2.1 x64. It was described, captured and sent to Mathias. But on WinXP x32 i'm unable to reproduce it neither in MC 3.2.1 nor in MC 3.3.0.

Shift+F6 by default, but you can change it via menu Configuration > Keyboard Customization: choose Explorer panel module, then search for Tools - Rename current file/folder

you may set up buttons on the button bar

Mathias,
it looks like FR for "Favourites bar" or "Hot paths bar"

ADDED - Pressing Ctrl+N / Ctrl+E while in inline rename mode the name part or extension part will be selected

Maybe toggling should be done by pressing the same key that assigned for inline renaming? E.g. i've set up F2 for inline renaming. So pressing F2 would toggle selection from name to extension.

Support and Feedback / Re: Adding buttons to multibuttons.xml

« on: July 31, 2013, 19:55:41 »

You can change rows count in the Core Settings.
Don't forget that each button can have "alternative states" (using Shift/Ctrl/Shift+Ctrl or RMB/MMB) if allowed in Settings.

So you can create custom command, debug it and then assign it to one of the button states

Script / Re: Search routine

« on: July 31, 2013, 19:31:37 »

Ulfhednar
Custom commands can be created via Configuration menu.
Then you may open multi-script debugger from the Help menu and choose your command in the dropdown list.

To perform some action on a file/folder you should get its path first by using appropriate functions. They are described in on-line doc.

If it's not too late for request

Flat (branch) view. Shows all files in the current folder and all subfolders as if they were in one folder. This might be useful e.g. to find a file by name or to use tools like the Multi-Rename

You may replace

Code: [Select]

$n = StrRegExpFind( $s, "\d+$" );
by

Code: [Select]

$n = StrRegExpFind( $s, "(_|-|~)?\d+$" );
where (_|-|~) is a list of characters that precedes numbers.

But using a special rename tool may indeed be a better idea.

==================================================================
8. Use custom icons for internal file associations
 
   Yes.. When configuring Editor/Viewer I guess settings an icon there too might be a good idea.
  But what icon should it show if you set a different icon for edit/view ? Or Maybe have a Icon tab... Well I figure something out.

If there's only one association (e.g. only for View) so the choice is obvious. If there are several associations then icon should be choosen using priority:
1. Open/run association
2. Edit association
3. View association

This of course should be done only if MC decides which icon to use. User may manually choose desired icon.

9.  Ability to set default file type for pasting from clipboard

   You really need a config for it ? Or would a remembering last used format. So if you used PNG last time it will be the format that is preselected the next time. Is that good enough ?

I think it's enough.

10 . Paste dialog - Focus is moved to the filename field

  I know. The problem is that it will select the filename part for you when you selected a format. And if you just do arrow up/down the combobox takes that as a selection. Im not sure that can be change unless the select only filename part is disabled. 
 However as said in the comments, pressing F4 is a workaround. Might not be good enough.

Actually when you paste something from clipboard, the focus is automatically moved to the filename field. Therefore renaming is the first action performed in this dialog. So i don't know what is the reason to return focus to the name field each time.

12 . If i create folder la-la;bla-bla,
 
  As said in comment ; is used for separator when creating multiple folders.. But I like the sugestion with a checkbox in the Create Folder dialog to override it

Well, the reasons i suggested to use "folder1","folder2" when creating multiple folders are:
1. ";" is a valid pathname char
2. Enclosing folders in the double quotes (which is invalid pathanme char) is a common practice. And also some select files dialogs represent the result as a comma separated string with items enclosed by double quotes.

OK. Modified version.

Log( 1, 10, "Renaming files to %%parent_folder_name%%[_N].*" );

@var $name = $arr[0];
@var $prefix = StrReplace( PathGetPathPart( $src_path, 1 ), $name, "" );

@var $n = StrRFind( $prefix, "\\" );

if ( $n > 0 )
{
  $prefix = StrSub( $prefix, $n + 1, StrLen( $prefix ) - $n - 1 );

  @var $i;
  @var $c;
  @var $s;

      while( $n < arrayCount( $files ) )

$old_file = PathGetNamePart( $old_file );

          $n = 0;

However i have not tested this script with thousands of files, so i'm not sure about perfomance/resource consumption.

You can test the following code. But it doesn't check whether existing names have ending numerals.
Backup your files before testing and perform testing it in the temporary folder.

Code: [Select]

Log( 1, 10, "Renaming files to %%parent_folder_name%%[_N].*" );

@var $src_path = GetSourcePath();
@var $arr = PathGetParts( $src_path );
@var $name = $arr[0];
@var $prefix = StrReplace( PathGetPathPart( $src_path, 1 ), $name, "" );

@var $n = StrRFind( $prefix, "\\" );

if ( $n > 0 )
{
  $prefix = StrSub( $prefix, $n + 1, StrLen( $prefix ) - $n - 1 );

  @var $i;
  @var $s;
  @var $file;
  @var $files;

  $arr = GetSourceSelectedPaths();

  for ( $i = 0; $i < arrayCount( $arr ); $i++ )
  {
    $file = $arr[$i];
    $s = PathGetFileExtPart( $file );
    $name = $prefix + "*" + $s;

    $files = FindFiles( $src_path + $name );
    $n = arrayCount( $files );

    if ( $n == 0 )
    {
      $s = "";
    }
    else
    {
      if ( $n == 1 )
      {
        $s = $files[0]; 
        RenameFile( $s, StrReplace( $name, "*", "_0" ), "RENAME_RO" );
      }

      $s = "_" + numtostr( $n );
    }           

    RenameFile( $file, StrReplace( $name, "*", $s ), "RENAME_RO" );
  }
}
else
{
  Log( 1, 10, "It seems parent folder is root. Renaming impossible." );
}

No.

That was the first thing I tried.
It results in the errors: "Failed to Rename"

I tried and it works.

BTW, Mathias. If files are read-only, confirmation dialog appears on every file with no option "Apply to all"

« on: July 15, 2013, 10:21:15 »

Some more suggestions.

1. Apply 'Auto resort files after manual renaming' also to folders.

2. If i create folder la-la;bla-bla, two folders are created. But i want single folder with ; char as a part of the name. So i suggest creating multiple folders when name is CSV-string. E.g. "folder1","folder2".

3. In paste from clipboard dialog when i change file type, focus is moved to the filename field. It is inconvenient when navigating via keyboard because i need to switch to filetype combo again.

Support and Feedback / Folder sorting issue

« on: July 12, 2013, 15:27:29 »

I've enabled separate sorting for files and folders, always sort folders by name. Folders which begins with non-alphanumeric characters are shown in the end. E.g.

Code: [Select]

Folder1
Test Folder
!test
#test

But "!" and "#" precedes alphanumeric characters, so they should be at the top:

Code: [Select]

!test
#test
Folder1
Test Folder

Is this by design?

*  Add touch/gesture support.

If it is planned, please implement it as external module and/or let a user disable it.

If it's not too late, i would like to add 2 requests.

1. Use custom icons for internal file associations. E.g. if default OS app for *.pdf files is Adobe Acrobat Reader, but MC's assigned app is PDF-XChange Viewer, so PDF-XChange Viewer's (or user defined) icon should be shown in the file list for *.pdf files.

2. Ability to set default file type for pasting from clipboard. E.g. i often paste img files and would like to save them in PNG format. Maybe "use by default" checkbox or just setting in config file.

« on: July 04, 2013, 15:12:01 »

At least the following.

1. Search inside archives (including content search).

2. GUI settings for rule-coloring.

3. Some kind of status line for the current file in list mode. It might be shown when no items are selected, otherwise standart selected stat would be shown. Although i would like both of them to be shown but i don't see a way now. As there's only one file may be focused, maybe current file info might be shown in the main status bar (optionally), but i'm not sure it would look good.
