Support and Feedback / Issue with copy to existing file

« on: October 22, 2013, 10:17:53 »

E.g. i have two panels with the same folder x:\temp, and there are 2 files there:

Code: [Select]

x:\temp\file.txt
x:\temp\file_bak.txtI want to copy file_bak.txt to file.txt (replace). But after copying file.txt remains, instead file.txt (1) is created which is the copy of file_bak.txt. No overwrite dialog appears.

btw, can I create a folder/container for quicklaunch? (sort of menu with shortcuts)

There's no quick way. But you may create custom commands which will launch your progs, then compose menu via Configuration>Menu Customization.

-I'd like some sort of relative path to easily find things on USB stick and use as bookmark. let's say Multi Commander is on my USB stick in E:\MC folder and I want to be able to bookmark E:\Cleaning\spywares\ and use it even if i plug it on another computer on F: (sort of \..\Cleaning\spywares\ path relative to MultiCommander.exe).

Actually you can. E.g. quicklaunch bar items support relative paths. I.e. you can drag program to the QL bar, then customize it and use [R] button at the right of the program path.
You may also use ${mcpath} tag.
Internal file associations also support relative paths.

Support and Feedback / Re: Toolbar view messed up after upgrade

« on: October 13, 2013, 20:01:06 »

don't know how that can happen.. I'm not able to reproduce that

1. Resize MC window so the drive toolbar moved to the new line
2. Switch off Standard or File commands toolbar (vie View menu)
3. Switch on that toolbar again
4. Resize MC window to the previous size (or wider)

Support and Feedback / Re: Compare Folders (Synchronize)

« on: October 12, 2013, 20:23:28 »

rwelty,
tip #26 exactly shows HOW you can do it - by choosing menu items "Compare folders, Select missing" etc.

It's all about selection. So you can select files/folders on one or both panels depending on some criteria. Comparing contents or including subfolders is not possible - if i'm not mistaken.

Extra columns (like mp3 tags) don't support unicode. Would be great to fix it (if possible).

Bodtje,
make a video of what you are doing, maybe it'll help. And try to close all other applications (except antivirus/firewall).

Support and Feedback / Re: [Bug?] Archive content is not updated while unpacking (from flash-drive)

« on: September 06, 2013, 13:24:06 »

Not sure. I have not seen it. But it might depend on the archive and the size of it. and how it is unpacked.

Archive is about 17Mb, unpack by copying files from inside the archive (enter the archive, select files and copy to target panel)

Support and Feedback / [Bug?] Archive content is not updated while unpacking (from flash-drive)

« on: September 06, 2013, 11:25:15 »

1. Open some archive on a flash drive
2. Start copying files from that archive
3. Switch from copy queue to MC.

Result: file list remains empty (see pic) until copy is finished.

Is it a bug?

Mathias,
If you don't want to add gui option for default sorting, I suggest saving sort type (column and direction) when choosing Set current layout by default.

P.S. Sorry. It is already saved.

I repeat my question: Is there any way I can help your devlopement ?

Not with development directly. But I'm always looking for more translations. And I also take fixes for my own English language files. (There are probably a lot of errors in there. Since I'm in a hurry a lot and I don't always have the time to double check the spelling. ) 
Icons is also wanted if you are good at drawing, I really need some improvements on some of them.

Other then that. 

Just keep report bugs you find

zorglups,
Unfortunately, i can't find initial message where you asking about help in development. But if you know C++ well, i think you could try to make a plugin/extension.

Yes. I've just tested and it works on latest stable v3.2.1.

My MC v. is 3.2.1 b.1432

Probably this is because new beta has updated RegExp engine.
So this is my fault - i hadn't tested on current stable version. I apologize.

First pic - all files
Second pic - all except *.avi

As you can see video.avi is absent on the second pic whereas other files are the same.

Mathias,
sorting is reset after new search. I mean if you e.g. set sorting to Ext column, then clear results and perform new search, new results are NOT sorted by Ext. It would be great to keep sorting order.

Thanks, but it looks little bit too math and moreover it seems not working..

I've tried it and it works. But it is case sensitive

Well the registry entries MUST be there for it to loop.
It is what the installer check for.

I've played with installation/uninstallation and found out that:
1. If MC was installed for current user only, launching setup again doesn't ask for uninstall
2. If MC was installed for all users, launching setup again asks for uninstall

But the main issue remains - install/uninstall only work when launched as Administrator. Well, let's blame unidentified security settings

P.S. It seems that uninstall doesn't remove start menu/desktop shortcuts.

MC must have been installed before.. you only get that loop if it find it self under install programs.

I've cleaned registry and disk, so there're no MC entries neither for Administrator nor for User (note that User has admin rights).
The problem remains. Setup works properly only when launched as Administrator.
But maybe it is because of some local and domain rules?

Then it must have failed to uninstall.
It can loop if the reg entry for installed program is still there and that is the last things that is removed when uninstalling.

No. I hadn't MC installed. If setup is launched as non-Administrator, such loop occurs. If launched as Administrator, no problems (and no uninstall procedure).

BTW, Uninstall and MultiUpdate also work properly only when run as Administrator (on Win7)

With fresh (non-portable) install everything seems to be OK.

**

But when i try to install MC (beta) under non-Administrator account (even with admin privileges), endless loop of messages occur

Code: [Select]

---------------------------
MultiCommander v3.3.0.1476 x64 Setup
---------------------------
MultiCommander is already installed.

Do you want to uninstall the existing version.
---------------------------
Yes   No 
---------------------------
then

Code: [Select]

---------------------------
MultiCommander v3.3.0.1476 x64 Setup
---------------------------
Try to install MultiCommander again?
---------------------------
ОК   Cancel 
---------------------------
and again.

Mathias,
I think somthing like "Exclude" or "Not match" checkbox in the Look for panel of Find Files dialog could be useful. It should "invert" search. I.e. if search pattern is "bla-bla*.doc" then all files should be found except matching this pattern.
It sometimes could be easier than using RegExp.
