Hi Mathias,

"I forgot to mention the feature for displaying special characters in MultiFileViewer, similar to Notepad++'s 'Show All Characters' option."

Best regards.

Stéphane.

Just for some clarification

You do not want to configure it to use the  Cascadia-code font, you want it to automatically pick it as default if available ? (auto download I don't think I will add.. I don't want MC to automatically mess with a users system.)
Powershell syntax coloring are actually comming soon. Im not using it so much so when it is there. let me know how it works
Access to Text tools from MultiViewer is a good ide. I will look into that

The Manage multiple servers at once think are intressting.. Not sure how to implement it right now. Bit tricky. but very intressting, 
But can you mail me with more details on how you would use somethings like that. Copy one file and it is auto copied to all locations that are grouped ?  even delete ? rename ? what more? any ide and thougth you have around that would be great and I can see if something like that can be added. However It is a big and complex feature so can take some time to add. But I really like the idea.

Hello Mathias,

I've seen that you can embed the font in the application and load it directly, without having to install it in the system. If this is possible in Multi-Commander, it could be an option in the preferences to use Cascadia code by default. If this is not possible, you could indeed propose the option if the system has it.

For 'powershell' syntax highlighting, it's great. I could compare it with the display in Visual Studio Code! I'll let you know as soon as this option is available in the application.

For the last part, I'll try to lay the foundations of the need to expose you the vision I have of it. I'll send you the email as soon as possible.

A good day to everyone.

Hello,

No you're not the only one.

I also have this strange behaviour on one computer at home.

@Mathias, are you aware of the problem ? Do you want us a vidéo of what is happening ?

Regards.

Hello,

- To use (and install when it is not present) the cascadia-code font (https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code) at least for MultiDataViewer default configuration.
- To have by default in MultiDataViewer, a powershell color syntax formatting that is imitates the syntax highlighting that visual studio code is using (it is quiet difficult to be exhaustive when creating our own).
   It may be possible to use their définitions ? https://github.com/PowerShell/EditorSyntax/tree/main
   It is true for the common file syntax in use actually, XML, INI (MC files), JSON, PY and Ruby.
- An extension to analyze disk space graphically and/or as a percentage. Some examples : https://www.info24android.com/les-10-meilleurs-outils-gratuits-pour-analyser-lespace-disque-dur-sur-votre-pc-windows/
- Format document in Multidataviewer for common files (XML, JSON mainly) without modifying / saving the file by default (option when closing the viewer ?)

Concerning the workflow, I have to manage several servers via administratives share to operate the same actions.
- The idea is via the GUI (no script) to be able to apply file operations to a list of computers (ex \\MyComputerName01.fqdn.com\c$\MyWorkingFolder, \\MyComputerName02.fqdn.com\c$\MyWorkingFolder).
- The active panel in this case will be a computer of the computer list.

Regards.

[System Variable]

Hello,

Some examples to show the different possibilities.

System Variable

Code Select Expand

@var $env = TranslateEnvString("%COMPUTERNAME%");
SetClipboardText( $env);
MessageBox( "Env Var", $env,0);

Run system executable

Code Select Expand

MC.Run CMD={"c:\windows\System32\shutdown.exe /r /f /t 0"}

Read File and Put Content to the clipboard

Code Select Expand

@var $content = LoadStringFromFile( '\\10.69.0.200\CounterString_1000.txt' );
SetClipboardText( $content );

Create folder with the date of the day

Code Select Expand

@var $now = GetTime();
@var $date = FormatDate( "dd-dddd" , $now );
@var $folder;
@var $FolderBaseName = GetSourcePath();
{
$folder = $FolderBaseName ^ $date;
MC.Filesystem.Makedir PATH="{$folder}"
}

Hello,

That is a pure Windows problem and not related at all to Mc. Anyway, have you tried the Microsoft wrapper wt.exe?
For specific folder launch that is quiet not yet possible, see https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2019/Sep/03/Programmatically-Opening-Windows-Terminal-in-a-Specific-Folder

Regards.

- Many dialog is not change to DarkMode. All of them will not be change. But request the dialogs that pops up often for you that you want to be updated.

Hello Mathias,
I think it might be a lot of work, but what about the MultiDataViewer? I often use it, so I'm trying my luck.

Regards.

Hello Mathias,

Regarding translations, can we start on this version, or is it better to wait for a more stable version?

Regards.

[Where does most of the content on this site come from?]

Hello,

If you want to exchange with most of us, please use a 'common' language as English.
Your question:
Where does most of the content on this site come from?
It is the creator of the application that is managing all the web site and also gives 99% of the answers of this forum.

Is it possible to share information?
What do you mean? What do you want to do with the content?
Do you want to help translate to Finnish?

As everything is Matthias property, once again, ask him directly your thoughts.

Best regards.

Hello,

See http://multicommander.com/docs/Installation

Portable Installer (.zip)
The portable installer is named MultiCommander_x64_Portable_([version]).zip or MultiCommander_win32_Portable_([version]).zip
The portable package is a zip archive that you only need to unpack to a folder. Just make sure that you keep the folder structure from the zip package.
The portable version is the same as the installed version. The difference is that the portable version is configured to store all settings and configuration in the folder that Multi Commander is installed in and run from.
The portable version does not save anything to the registry or to the user account folder. Everything is saved in the Multi Commander folder. So the program must have write permissions to the folder that you start Multi Commander from.
This version is ideal to be installed to - and run from - a USB memory stick.

Regards.

Hi Alan,

If I remember correctly my exchanges with Mathias on this, it is a way of commenting entries in English reference files. It is not impacting the translation process.
He told me that he may be cleaned one day.

Best regards.

Attached is the last translation of the MC_LangPack_fr_5.9.5_Build2805_BETA.

Hi,

Very quick overview.

In the Submit Language Pack, an extra & character, "wit" without the "h"

"press then "Export/Send" button.&

A windows with a dropdown wit three options will be shown."

The google translation option do not appear too. Wanted?

Regards.

Hello Mathias,

A script function to be able to download files from the internet using the HTTP, HTTPS or FTP protocol.

Regards.

I share my script in case of it can interest other people.
The need is to update "Process Explorer" tools from Sysinternals to the last version.
It verifies the registry to see if the EULA has been accepted. If it is the case, it retreives the running path to overwrite it if a newer version exists.
If no EULA, retreives the last version in a defined path.

The only possible problems is that live.sysinternlas.com may take a long time to respond.

Is it possible to have for each panel explorer it's own Hot Paths list?

Is it possible to add a Stop Service button when it is a service that is using the locked file?

Hello PBDier.nl,

Do you plan to realize the NL Language? If not, I can help in the way of realizing the translation files using online tools, but as I do not know at all NL language I will not understand the results and for sure it will need corrections, ... So if you are ready to verify/correct the work, I can work on it. Let me know.

When this option is used, no file is created in the destination folder selected.
Tested using the default name unkown.txt and with another one.

More the type combobox is not available in the Save As dialog.
