FreeCommander Forum

I remember that a long time ago, with pre-XE FC, there was an issue with drag and drop not working between FC and the Windows desktop, but I've had no trouble with that for some years now - until very recently when I upgraded my OS from Win7 x64 to Win8 x64. However, as about the same time I updated...

Brilliant - many thanks! I've just tested with one file, and, yes, it does appear to be working consistently, though I'm still finding that there is an intermittent unwillingness to respond to an attempt to drag/drop the renamed file into a sub-directory. It works sometimes just fine, but other time...

Thank you for pointing that out. However, for me that is ergonomically a bit awkward, and Ctl-M comes much more, well, ergonomically! That is particularly because I use the mouse with my left hand, and so the Ctl key is closest at hand there. Actually I generally avoid F keys anyway, because I have ...

I was greatly pleased when finally the Multirename function was implemented. I have one small suggestion that would make it still quicker and more intuitive for me to use. What I would like, and, years ago I had that particular option in the stand-alone Batch Rename Utility, is to have an option for...

In Multirename, when I first set the option "Close dialog after rename" I tested it and it worked. Since then it has not worked, and I have to click on the Close button to close the dialog. I have checked each time that the option is still set in the Options menu. Apart from that I've had ...

Yes, I would underline that point about donations. Indeed, I had earmarked the point at which XE got the multi-rename function (which I have daily essential use for) as being the point that I would have no further use for the 2009 version. which I'd already donated for, and would make a donation for...

...And now the multi-rename IS implemented in the XE version! Well worth a try of the latter, as I've found it very stable and well behaved, despite it being called a 'pre-alpha' version.

Ah yes, another ex-PowerDesk user - welcome! I too was using PowerDesk 8, having been a long-standing PowerDesk user till I eventually tried FreeCommander. I myself have found the latter greatly more stable than PowerDesk, quite apart from its having a fuller and more customizable and intuitive func...

This is a facility that I have definitely been wanting all along. With only the text coloured, actually only a few colours can usefully be used, for otherwise various different filetypes tend to look too similarly coloured and thus the point of the colouration would be lost. With differently coloure...

What I find particularly helpful about this is that I've been able to tuck all the functionality that I would not normally want out of the way. I found the default layout in both XE and the older versions visually rather a mess, with too much distraction (for me!), but in both cases it has taken jus...

That's brilliant - and obvious, once one actually thinks of it! :D Thanks for the suggestion, HeiWoMa! I've immediately done the honours in my Favorites list. In my case I named each separator "----------------------------(n)", where 'n' is a digit. If I didn't put the digit there (preferr...

Well, if there is a clear division of user preference over that, then the most helpful solution would be a user option for this. In my particular case I rarely use multi-rename for anything other than one particular daily task, so it makes sense to have my own settings being the default, whereas for...

FC continues to be really great for me. There's one small detail, however, in which it became a bit less convenient for me when I updated my beta copy earlier this year to 2009.02a Build 410 donor. I've just updated to Build 412 and the issue is still here. Previous to that earlier update this year,...

Not wanting to lead us off-topic, but the UAC problem in Win7 is exacerbated by there not yet being any 3rd party utilities to bring it to heal and make it behave in a user friendly manner. With Vista, UAC was just acceptable to me when used with Norton UAC and UAC Snooze - but the former currently ...

Yes, I got this problem, having done a clean install of Win7 from Vista nearly two weeks ago. It's associated with the abominable UAC of Win7, which is supposed to be more user friendly than in Vista, but in my experience is in some ways still more perverse. Owing to a serious bug in Win7's UAC, che...
