Feature Requests and Suggestions / PAF portable format?

« on: December 25, 2016, 04:03:12 »

I know the official portable version is available to download, but it would just be better if it is available in the PortableApps.com format (.paf.exe). Could you pack the portable version into this most popular portable format? Thank you!

Do you have a roadmap, or do you think this can be done by the end of this year?
What about if I donate?

Wow, that's wonderful!! So when will the TabsManager be implemented in MC? I couldn't wait to use that!

QTTabBar and DOpus can organize opened tabs as groups, and show them in drop-down button in the toolbar, as shown in the attachment (the attachment is using QTTabBar http://qttabbar.wikidot.com/). Maybe it is a good idea to make the favorite button in MC as a drop-down button.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Multi-row tab display

« on: August 31, 2015, 17:27:33 »

I'm glad to see that MC can save and load tabs group to and from file, finally . This may not be exactly the same as tab groups in QTTabBar or Directory Opus, but that's enough to me . Now the thing is, when there are just too many tabs there, showing all of them in single row is just inconvenient. Is it possible to allow multi-row tab display, just like in FireFox (with tab mix plus installed)? I remember FreeCommander has already been able to do this. So it will be great to have this feature, and it won't be too hard, right? Thanks.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Better handling of Favorites/Tab Groups

« on: July 23, 2014, 07:48:13 »

I'm switching from QTTabBar to MC, and I'm really missing the easy manipulation of tabs into groups/favorites of the former. Whereas MC does have a "favorites", but it is really inconvenient to add an existing tab into favorites (For example in QTTabBar, I can right click on a tab and select "add to group"), and it is not easy to restore or open all tabs of a specific group (or a "section" in the favorites). Another feature that I'm missing is the "recent tabs" of QTTabBar, which will keep a list of tab history and also the recently closed tab. It will be really convenient if MC can have these features. Thank you.

Well, if I use the ctrl+c and ctrl+v in either windows explorer or MC, or right click then select copy and paste, there will not be any error. This problem only appears when I use the advanced copy function of MC.

It just gets stuck, and I cannot skip, pause, abort or even close the copy window. I can only close MC main window and wait for several seconds then everything is closed.
Tested on Windows 8 64-bit

Thanks for your reply.
The length is longer than 260, but definitely less than 4096.
I also tested it on windows 7 64-bit. It seems that the option "Retry using extra-long path support" works if the destination folder path length is already > 260 (the normal context menu will not show), however, if the destination folder path length is less than 260 (the normal context menu still works), and if I copy some folder to that destination so that the final path length after copy will be > 260, then the option will not work (but not every time, sometimes it still works. It seems that this issue really depends on the destination folder structure).

Update: If I copy an empty folder to a very long path destination, it will not copy it at all, neither will it pop-up any window for selecting an option. But If I copy an empty folder together with some other non-empty folders, then MC will pop-up the window, and whether the option "Retry using extra-long path support" works depends on the destination folder structure/length.

PS: Is there any way to force MC to copy everything using extra-long path support? I hope in that way this problem will disappear.

Support and Feedback / "Retry using extra-long path support" doesn't really work

« on: February 11, 2013, 06:39:10 »

Hello,

I was trying to copy some folders with very deep folder structure to external hard drive by using MC (to keep all folder time stamps). Since the path is > 260 characters, MC will pop-up a window providing 4 options: Rename, Skip, AutoRename and Retry using extra-long path support. I did click on the "Retry using extra-long path support", but it didn't work, and the window will pop-up again. I also checked the "Do this for ALL files with this error?" and still didn't work. Is this a bug? I am using Windows XP SP3 32-bit and MC build 1275.

I really appreciate it if this issue can be solved. Thanks in advance!

PS: I tried, and the only option that works is the "AutoRename". But this is really bad
