Beta Releases / Re: 2.0.0 beta bugs

« on: January 02, 2012, 17:20:12 »

1. Hints in MultiRename tool manager: i mean popup windows with descriptions. They are not displayed. Btw, there is no translation string for Multi Rename for global menu.

2. There is no translation string for the caption of Plug-in profile manager. See pic1.

3. Read/Write strategy for copy operations.
  a. Pressing [Reset] in expert mode settings shows empty dialog (even with original language). See pic2.
  b. What does Power word mean: 'power saving' or 'advanced mode'

4. Three buttons in Columns customization have no text. See pic3.

5. Column sets setup. Copying from [Default] profile shows dialog with 'Default' word although there is translated text in the list. See pic4.

6. It seems that Correct folder date/time works wrong on folders in the root. See pic5

P.S. I use portable mode (on fixed drive)

At first - Happy New Year!

File type manager.
1. It saves profiles, but not permanently (until restart) as it seems. And it is possible to have multiple profiles with the same names.
2. If you select internal program as source, press OK, then select External program, intrernal module name will appear in the edit box (see pic1)
3. Is file age shown correctly. Some minutes ago (18:11) i've created a file. Now is 18:25 and MC shows file age as 6 Hours (see pic 2)
---

Translation issues
1. File Types manager: as i see - buttons [Add], [Remove], [Reset] have no translation strings
2. Core Settings: Tab Mouse Configuration node with sub-nodes have no translation strings
3. Rotate pictures dialog has no translation string for Options group caption
4. Convert pictures dialog has no translation string for JPEG Quality text

---

1. Adjust EXIF Date: what's the purpose of Previewing %d of %d files? As i see, it always shows n of n flles in the list.
2. What is Smart rename (Tools->Reanme->Similar name, different extension)? How to use it the right way?
3. There is translation file for the PictureViewer, but where is Picture Viewer itself?

---

P.S. Sorry for delayed translation. There are some reasons.
1. To be honest: i'm quite lazy
2. No enough time
3. I don't want to quickly translate it via dictionary, i try to test the functions and understand specific terms.

Beta Releases / 2.0.0 beta bugs

« on: December 28, 2011, 11:17:31 »

Here are some bugs i've just discovered in 2.0 beta

I. Multi-Rename tool

1. Hints aren't displayed.
2. Live preview works even if unchecked.
3. "Error! - Name Conflict" string exists in resource file but displayed in english.
4. When you go from "Previous Rename Sessions" to "Renamed Files" list, the selection in "Previous Rename Sessions" is lost, so it is impossible to detect which session is selected.

II. File viewer

1. It seems that Auto Reload doesn't work. If you modify the file being viewed, it is not updated in viewer. Only when you select "Reload" and then click, the content is updated.
2. There are no translation strings for Selection popup menu (Highlight - Add, Highligth - Clear, ... etc)

---

UPD1: Module rules in Multi-Rename don't work. E.g. [N][?core.size] rule neither updates preview nor actually renames the file.

UPD2: Plug-in profile manager.
1. There is no translation string for the caption of this dialog
2. If you create new profile with the existing name (e.g. "Test"), no rename suggested. Instead a new profile is created, so there are 2 "Test" profiles. And when you save it, previous profile settings are overwritten. So when you open the manager again, there is only one "Test" profile with last settings and the first one is lost.

UPD3. File Types manger
1. [Reset] action causes MC crash.
2. It is impossible (i can't find out how) to save new profile
  a. [Save] does nothing
  b. [Add] suggests to save currently editing profile but doesn't save. You can press it endlessly without success.
3. Some (all?) original english translation files are ANSI although they have encoding="UTF-8" xml parameter, so e.g. in Picture rotating dialog Unicode degree symbol "°" looks like two symbols "Вє"

Support and Feedback / User commands, hotkeys

« on: December 05, 2011, 08:11:41 »

Hotkeys. See pic.

When assigning alias to the command:
1. If there is an alias with the specified name, another one is created even if existing alias has the same command. So it is possible to create unlimited number of doubled aliases
2. If the command already has an alias, and you specify new alias name, a new alias is created but not assigned to the command.
E.g. you have command with alias 'c1', then you change it in User Commands dialog to 'c2'. Alias 'c2' is created. But if you exit this dialog, then enter it again, you will see that command has again 'c1' alias.

Suggestion for p1. If specified alias already exists, then:
1. If it has different command - create new alias
2. If the command is the same - DO NOT create new alias

Sorry, it was my mistake. I first removed all permissions and then tried to take ownership

« on: December 02, 2011, 11:05:39 »

2. Not sure if I understand what the problem is.. You get an error message when doing 'take ownership' on a file that you already are owner on

Yes. You're right. I was confused when tried it several times, because other admin-functions worked well. But then i applied it on the file which had other owner and got success.

« on: December 02, 2011, 07:42:01 »

Security

1. Whatever i select in 'Add file/folder permissions', i get full control
2. If i apply 'Take ownership' on the file i own, an error appears 'Access Denied! Admin permissions....' If a file has other owner, no error occurs and change is done successfully. Maybe there should not be error message on own files?

I haven't yet tried built-in scripting, but what if make it possible to do expanding via scripts?

P.S. Some nodes in folder tree have "+" square although they haven't subfolders. So when you try expand such nodes, "+" just disappears

Support and Feedback / Re: File Verifier (checksums)

« on: November 22, 2011, 04:30:53 »

1. Yes. I test without files. And expect the MC to show me that files are missing. Instead i get a dialog with suggestion to rename/delete/do nothing. How can i delete non-existing file?

2. I mean that there's no "Copy checksum to clipboard" string in the language resource file.

--

3. It seems that rescan failed files doesn't work (e.g. when file exists but expected checksum differs from calculated). So at first time i get a dialog dialog with suggestion to rename/delete/do nothing, and when rescan i get nothing.

4. How exactly Expected value should be entered? Sometimes i need one click, sometimes 2 with a pause. Maybe shift+left click or something like that should be recognized. Or double click should be recognized in a different ways: when double clicked in Filename column - go to real file (as it is now); when double clicked on Expected column, a value should be edited?

Support and Feedback / File Verifier (checksums)

« on: November 21, 2011, 14:28:41 »

1.
I've created md5-checksum file and md5-compare file (both containing one file, say test1.txt and test2.txt). Then i renamed original files to _test1.txt and _test2.txt and started comparing/creating. I expected to get error message showing 2 missing files.
a. If i check both checksum nodes or only Compare node, i get a choice dialog (see pic.)
b. If i check only md5-file node, i get message "All OK, Verified files 0"

2. There is a menu item Copy checksum to clipboard, but translation string is missing

Support and Feedback / Re: Creating links

« on: November 18, 2011, 18:23:58 »

For p.2 i've just noticed that not only link source is wrong but also link target (on the pic from the first post). There were 3 selected files: 1.txt, 2.txt and 3.txt. But c:\test\1.txt\* is shown. Or is it by design?

539

Support and Feedback / Creating links

« on: November 18, 2011, 12:17:45 »

1. I'm able to create only junctions, sym and hard links are not created.
2. For multiple files resulting path mask is wrong (see pic.)
3. Following links for delete operation deletes only files even if option "Keep empty folders" is uncheked.
4. E.g. i have the following folder structure:

Code: [Select]

c:\test\1\2\3and a junction

Code: [Select]

d:\test\test_c -> [J] C:\test
When i delete a junction following link, MC shows "Access denied" for the folder 3. I press [Skip All], but then it shows the error again for folders 2 and 1. When i delete real folders there are no errors

5. Setting "Follow link" doesn't work for calculating dir size.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Some MultiDataViewer FRs

« on: October 19, 2011, 20:22:09 »

1. Don't highlight/select address in hex view

2. Highlight hex strings
If i'm in Hex view, i can highligth hex values only by typing text representation in highlight field.
E.g. i have a text file with 'as' text:

Code: [Select]

00000000 61 73           as
If i type as in highlight field, both text and hex values will be highlighted, but if i type 61 73 - nothing will be highlighted.

3. Select Hex Strings.
Something like 'Copy as hex string' in main/context menu to copy
So in above mentioned case 61 73 would be copied (as a string but not raw bytes combination because it's not a hex editor).

About showing file date as age.

1. I haven't found locale strings in config files
2. Is there any way to customize algorithm? It is because there are 3 different age endings (or even words) in Russian.
E.g.

1 Year = 1 Год 2 Years = 2 Года 5 Years = 5 Лет 1 second = 1 секунда 2 seconds = 2 секунды 5 seconds = 5 секунд

I removed tags from some files, so i've got N files changed. But if i remove tags from the same files again i still have N files changed. Why they are not skipped?

P.S. Video tools config has the same strings as the audio config. Are they needed?

Support and Feedback / FTP

« on: October 12, 2011, 06:49:04 »

1. Is ftp connection through proxy supported?

2. When i press [Connect] in Quick connect dialog, nothing happens but that dialog appears once again, and only after i press [Connect] again MC tries to connect.

3. If i check 'Add to bookmarks' option in Quick connect dialog, the server is added to the but is not displayed in the explorer panel until manually refreshed.

4. I'm not sure what 'Remember site' option in Quick connect dialog means. I thought that it should keep entered data in this dialog after closing. But the data remains even if option is unchecked.

5. It is possible to create nameless profile in 'Site manager' but impossible to delete it, because it is not displayed in the list of 'Site manager'. Only by editing config file.

6. Connections in FTP filesystem are displayed like folders. I tried to delete test connection, but instead of deleting FTP-profile, MC showed me long progress bar and began to delete something. At the moment i don't know whether something has been deleted or it was just 'fake' deleting. But it scared me

Support and Feedback / Re: Some fs-registry related issues

« on: October 08, 2011, 19:13:03 »

1. Shame on me, i haven't tried this
3. Maybe MC should not guess the type when copying files to registry, but should istead ask for a type with a possibility to apply the choice to all files?

P.S. This is just a particular case and warning may be enough. But in general there could be different ways of using the same operations on different types of plugins (or even between them) and not always you can predict what a user can do. So maybe a check should be done to block 100% 'incompatible' actions like change filetime for registry params. IMHO such approach has at least 2 'pros':
1. You protect a user from potentially bad things
2. You protect yourself from possible wasting time on debugging/remaking and reading angry comments

Support and Feedback / Some fs-registry related issues

« on: October 08, 2011, 18:13:05 »

1. How can i edit registry param? I can create but have no idea how to edit.

2. Enter some registry path with existing parameters (i've created test path and params for experiments). Now open Windows registry editor and enter the same path. Now edit some parameters ans return to MC. Exit the path and enter it again - all values remains unchanged until you manually refresh the panel view.

3. I think some actions should be disabled for fs-registry (and other specific plugins). E.g. it is impossible to change file attributes or pack registry parameters

Moreover, they may have unpredictable results. Example.
a) Open Windows registry editor, create some test folder.
b) Create two different keys with the same data. E.g "Param1" with type REG_SZ and value "test", and "Param2" with type REG_BINARY and value "74 00 65 00 73 00 74 00 00 00" (all without quotes).
c) In MC pack this folder to some disk path, then delete this folder in registry and unpack from archive
Result: there are 2 these parameters in the folder but both have type REG_SZ

I haven't explored much but i suppose that such 'unusual' actions may even sometimes be dangerous.
