Sure you have not mixed up SRC and TARGET?

Hell, you're genius! I have! I should open up dialog of creating links through menu and notice proper terminology but I was sure I was doing right things. Big thanks for your help!

I am already an admin and mc is started with admin privileges, and I've tried an ASADMIN option too. Nothing works. I only see a confirmation dialog when I set an appropriate option in command (Display confirmation dialog...). Interesting, I don't see a confirmation dialog when I purposely execute a wrong command, for example MC.Utils.CreateLink1, but I see one when give a wrong argument to a proper command, for example ASADMIN1. So I conclude the command is correct. Are options' names for this command correct in documentation? Could you give me a file with a properly working multi-script CreateLink command, so I can try it on my machine?

Hello, Mathias. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong with a custom command. I am trying to make a MC.Utils.CreateLink to create a symlink. I have even tried the most easiest case, for example MC.Utils.CreateLink LNKSRC="D:\1.txt" LNKTRG="D:\2.txt" LNKTYPE=3. Nothing happens. I will be appreciate for any help.
Version of MC is 4.6.2 (build 1804) 64bit

I'm sorry I was a bit hasty. It seems importing actually works despite some view issues. I was certainly confused with some settings that really were not imported, for example "crush dump format"

Hello, Mathias!
I think there is a bug in importing settings. I can't import settings except those located on the first tab.  It is easy to reproduce. You need to export either Core or Explorer Panel settings. Then you need to import them immediately. There are neither checkboxes nor folding markers apart from first-tab settings ones, but there are correspoing tags in xml file. I've attached a screenshot. My version is 4.6.2 64bit.

Hello, Mathias! First of all, big thanks for updating searching in binaries in v. 3.1. It seems to me that it works. I started to use it heavily and realized that I don't know how to properly use regex searching in mc. Some constructions that I regulary use in other applications don't work here. For example, nor /s nor [:space:] don\t work as class of "space" characters; lookahead and lookbehind: (?=), (?!), (?<=), (?<!); possessive quantifier: ++ (but it seems *+ and lazy versions *? +? work); backreferencing causes mc to hang at all (i am searching "(a)\1" in folder with one plain text file, which contains "aa"), so I have to close it through task manager.  Could you provide some information about syntax of regex mechanism using by mc?

Searching in binary files are a bit tricky and does not always work. There are some changes planned for this.
so that it will be possible to search for a byte pattern.

It would be great. Thanks.

It do remember its location in the list. if you from the command line row press esc/tab to go back the focused item will still be the same.

Yes, I've kept it in mind, when I have said, that I must do some more actions in MC to solve this task.

I think it should be possible to create a script that launch program using "cmd /K <arg>" and then assign that to a hotkey

I have tried to do this today, but still can not figure out how can I get text in command line. I have not find neither nor Multi-Tag nor Custom Command, which provides such a functionality. If it is impossible in current version could you add such a feature in future releases?

And one more releated issue. Is it hard to do to let command line handle hot keys provided by user commands?

Greetings, Mathias!

At first, thank you for your job, I really like your commander. But I have one problem with it, which forces me to use other instruments to solve it. "File search" doesn't search meaningful phrases in contents of my Oracle Forms 6i source binaries. I've found a topic (http://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php/topic,503.0.html), where another user had a similar problem (Reply #8), but he did not responded to your request to provide you some examples. So try my attachment to explore this problem. I had to change an extension from ".fmb" to ".txt", but it doesn't matter.

One more problem, although not too critical for me. But solving it will save a little time in my job and save my fingers and my good mood also . When I navigate to command line by mouse click or by hotkey or by just start typing, commander "loses" cursor position in a tab. Other commanders like midnight or far saves it's position. So I can type for example in command line "cvs upd " and then press ctrl+return to append a filename under a cursor to complete and execute my command. In MultiCommander I have to do some more actions to mimic such a behavior.

And one more timesaving feature I need at the moment. Cmd window closes after executioning a command in a command line. So I can't see an output of that command. To solve this problem, I can start cmd and then start typing desired command in a prompt line, then go to mc to copy filename, then return to cmd to finalize my command. To minimize number of steps I've created an alias cmd = "cmd /K", and use it like that "cmd sqlplus -some_args"  to start sqlplus in cmd window, which will not be closed after command will be executed, so I can analyze an output. But it still would be great for minimizing typing to have a hotkey (for example shift+return like in TotalCommander) for executioning a command without closing a cmd window after it finishes it's job.

P.S. Version of MultiCommander is 3.0. And sorry for my english. I hope you will understand.
