Support and Feedback / Re: Remembering network paths

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on Today at 14:54:13 »

Settings.

Explorer Panel Settings > Display (Tab) > Save on exit (Almost last in the list)

Uncheck That is it should only remember paths to local HD, (trying to access remote drives that are gone at startup can make MC Hang for a while until window tells it , that it is not there. )

Support and Feedback / Remembering network paths

« Last post by ThePalsyP on Today at 14:42:56 »

I love this program to bits; however, there is one niggling issue.

I have about 13 tabs open altogether between the windows; I use my network NAS drives a lot to move & copy stuff, between local and them.

However, when I exit MC and reopen it, the tabs are remembered; all the local paths in tabs are fine, but all the network ( eg. \\NAS\ ) revert to C:\

Is this a limitation or what, or a setting?

Thanks for reading.

Thank you, Mathias ! Sorry for the late reply, I was having probs accessing MC servers and d'ling updates, that's why.

I had lots of AI and other Bots flooding the server I think was been able to block most of them now

You want to show the MC fileoperation progress dialog when you copy with Windows Explorer ? No MC can't replace things in Windows.

You can configure the MC fileoperation dialog not to autoclose in core settings.

When you tell MC do copy using internal methods. it will use Internal dialog.. If you copy using windows it will show Windows progress.

Support and Feedback / Customizing File Operation Progress Dialog (MC Not Built-in Windows Explorer)

« Last post by total_annihilation00 on Yesterday at 08:34:54 »

How can I override the default Windows Explorer file operation progress dialog with a custom MC modal progress dialog during copy/move operations? Attempted to modify the MC settings to make the progress indicator persistent post-operation, but it defaults to the built-in Explorer progress dialog, which auto-closes upon completion, preventing customization or persistence.
P.S: Maybe it's 'cause I have TeraCopy installed, & when I initiate a file operation it gives me a popup to choose to handle it through either Explorer or TeraCopy, that's why ?

The focus indicator is now always at the very top in the first row. I could swear that it used to be at the top on the first file. Or am I mistaken?? I had already come up with the idea that one could remove this row entirely and leave out the jump one level up, or place it as a button in the Explorer’s toolbar instead. But the row is needed for the context menu in the empty space, for example to create a new text file. Sorry, maybe off topic.

No always been that by default, the focus is set to first item ".."  so that if you press return to enter.. you should just press return again to go out, (its like that by design to navigate in and out of folder faster)

But there is option to remember the item focus when you leave.. so if you move down to item 4.. and then leave with backspace.. and then go back in. it will then set focus to item 4.

Queue hang -

• Seems random, probability increases when an external drive is connected & accessed for part of the queued items.
• Queue hangs & transfers fail, sometimes it is the 2nd item queued that MC hangs on, sometimes it will run thru the queue until the very last file in the list & then hang.
• Queue hangs - type & qty of files/folders vary but I get the strange value outputs in the move dialog when in hung state as per post

:-

This is not something I been able to reproduce on any machine, so I have to let that be and hope somebody can provide steps to reproduce.  It does not look to be common since I can't reproduce it.

Thanks for looking at it Mathias.
Changing my button to NEWQUEUE seems to have reduced occurences. 
The closest thing I have seen here is the 'same' kind of issue reported by total_annihilation00.

If you want I can upload my dump & PM you the URL, as I cannot access your server - which I have done previously perfectly OK.

Dll hell is over. because all apps have there own version.
Before when you installed shared version, than some software with would stop working because some software downgrade the file to a previous version.
Or upgrade it and the API in it required some changes. or that some app removed it because the app was uninstalled.

The standard today is to make sure the software you install include all the files it need. and don't use shared dll.. So many bugs and issue can be track to the shared dll hell.

Drive space is cheap today compare to the WinXP Days.  Share the dll and save 2 MB per app or have each app have there own version of the file and get a more stable system. ?
