Thank you for implementing this already!

I noticed there is still a related problem with 'shift-click' selection of a series of files.
Currently the files are not only only selected but activated too by LMB 'shift-click'
in one-click mode.

It would be very handy if LMB 'shift-click' would allow the marking of a series of files without activating them.

Thanks again!

Mathias,
yes, exactly.
Just tried again, this is how the MS explorer one-click mode works.
Many thanks for checking this!

maybe move the file selection to the right mouse button. and shell context menu to right button double click..?

I have been using this setting since more than a month now and my experience is:
Yes, the workaround as suggested can be used.
Still, it would be much nicer to have the real thing, i.e. MS explorer - one click functionality like the original (LMB one click activation, RMB one click context menu).
Any chance for an improvement in a later version?
Many thanks.

Works nicely with the updates.
Thanks.

Great. Thanks again!

Default behavior for dragging files between panels correctly is 'move' for same drive  and 'copy' for different drives.
Default behavior for dragging files to folder tree is always 'copy'. I think it would be nice if dragging to folder tree would follow the above scheme with 'move' or 'copy'.
Thanks.

Hi,
I find myself sometimes opening several instances of Multi Commander where one would be sufficient.
Is there, or will there be an option to limit Multi Commander to one instance?
Thanks.
Norbert

Your suggestion with the right click works nicely and is certainly an alternative. Thanks!

It might be still a good idea to emulate the behaviour of the explorer more closely, if you should  find time to implement this. It would be of help for all people who have to switch between ms explorer and multi commander.
Just a suggestion. Multi Commander seems like a great program anyway.

Thanks Mathias and Jungle for your explanations and your videos, Jungle!

I have done as you suggested, but please let me try to explain what the missing part is:

I can do the one-click opening/activation alright, as in explorer.
But if I then try to select files by pressing the ctrl-key and left-clicking files, they should get selected (or unselected), but the one click opening does not allow that, instead opens the file or folder. I can then go back to the original folder and see the files/folders selected, but that is not as expected.

Hope I could make myself understood.
Thanks for your efforts.

Norbert

 

Thanks.

Have you tried it?
The behaviour is different: either one-click selection/activation or ctrl-click selection, not both as in explorer.

Norbert

I would like to reproduce the explorer style file selection and activation with:

-       one-click file activation
-       ctrl + left-click file selection/ deselection

Can this be done? I did only manage to get the one or the other.

Thanks
Norbert
