Have you set up MC as the Explorer replacement? As far as I know, it is not officially supported. And using MC in a single-pane mode is not officially recommended as well.

Support and Feedback / Re: MC using wrong app to open multiple files
« on: December 06, 2024, 08:30:40 »
I've configured PDF-XChange as a Launcher (Run/Open), neither viewer nor editor.
When I launch *.pdf from a "normal" panel, some lines appear in the Application Log (Debug/Full)
When I launch *.pdf from RES1:, nothing appears in the Application log.

Some more to add.
1. It seems that the way of launching depends on Explorer tabs type.
E.g. from the RES1: tab my *.pdf files are opened in MS Edge (which is the default app). And from "normal" file tab the same files are opened in configured app (PDF-XChange)
2. If custom config settings are wrong, the file will not be opened from the "normal" file panel. And it's confusing when the default file icon is used. So you see some associated icon, try to launch and nothing happens. I think either the default app should be launched or some kind of notification displayed. Maybe MC should check certain settings at startup and warn a user in a some way.

In the "Search and Replace" panel:
1. Check RegEx option
2. In the left edit field enter "\(\d*\)\s*" (without quotes) leaving the right edit field empty
3. Optionally select Replace only name

Support and Feedback / Re: Issue with file search
« on: November 29, 2024, 20:41:13 »
Ok. I've performed some tests with GUI.
1. c:\temp\22;c:\temp\33 - files are found
2. "c:\temp\22";"c:\temp\33" - files are found
3. "c:\temp\22;c:\temp\33" - files are NOT found
And now the issue is reproducible in pure GUI mode without UDC.
1. Open Find files dialog
2. Enter some findable mask (files must be found for issue to happen)
3. Enter some path
4. Press start.
5. After files are found close the RES tab
6. Close Find files dialog
7. Now change path
Well, maybe not 100%, but almost each time
1. c:\temp\22;c:\temp\33 - files are found
2. "c:\temp\22";"c:\temp\33" - files are found

I've created a User Defined Command:
and inserted it to the QuickLaunch bar. The following is 100% reproducible for me.
0. There must be some txt files in "c:\temp\22" and "c:\temp\33\" folders.
1. Press the newly created button
2. Close the results Tab
3. Then change path. It may require several attempts
Results:
1. Explorer panel Settings look ugly (see pic)
2. Some item in the file list randomly becomes blanc. Refreshing the tab randomly replaces some oter item with a blanc line. Navigation via cusror keys can't skip that line. (see gif)

You can create some UDC with desired search params, and then put it to the user menu or on the QL bar.

@Mathias, yes, I apologize. It also works.
P.S. But after changing desktop.ini MC has to be restarted, refreshing Explorer panel is not enough.

You can enable "entire-row" Quick launch bar in the Core Settings > Layout. Then you can e.g. drag'n'drop exe-files on it and insert user defined commands.

Try this:
It is assumed that the source folder has at least 4 levels (x:\%LETTER%\%NAME%\CM4000)
Code: [Select]
@var $current_dir = GetSourcePath();
@var $path_parts = StrSplit( $current_dir, '\' );
@var $parts_count = arrayCount( $path_parts );
@var $i = $parts_count - 3;
@var $path_tail = "";
for( $i; $i < $parts_count; $i++ )
{
$path_tail = $path_tail ^ $path_parts[$i];
}
MakeDir( $current_dir ^ 'A16' ^ $path_tail, "LOCAL,RECURSIVE" );
MakeDir( $current_dir ^ 'AGFT' ^ $path_tail, "LOCAL,RECURSIVE" );

@Mathias (Author),
I think @Balu just wants to hide the entire header with column names, not the particular column itself.
