FreeCommander Forum

I wish I could add comments to files. This would really help to keep me organized - I could keep notes on why I downloaded this thing or that thing. Right now I go through my downloads and can't remember, so I just delete anything I can't recognize. If I could add a note to the file then it would he...

joby - you can add comments to doc files this way, but how do you add them to zip files?

raffso - that's a good point. FC would work, but the plugins wouldn't work correctly for both versions.

oooooooohhhhh

I get it!
That way the executables can both have the same name and therefore can have the same ini file name.

That's actually rather clever. I feel kind of dumb that I didn't think of it, seeing as how I think of myself also as clever... haha

Thanks for that!

Joby, you're missing the clencher.
That works just fine for the *folder*
but to have both FreeCommander 64 and 32 in the same directory, you have to rename one.
Then FC will create an ini file with the same name as the executable.
Which means you get two ini files = two settings files.

+1 I think that is a good idea.

Maybe the combined setup is only necessary for the portable version.

Timon, because then the changes are not replicated unless I do it manually.
I want one settings file to rule them all.

Marek - okay, thanks for answering.

That means I'd have to always launch FC from a shortcut in order to add the parameter.

I was hoping there might be a hidden option in the fcStart.ini file to specify which settings file to use. Marek?

On my flash drive I want to run a portable copy of FreeCommanderXE. But I need to have both the 32bit and 64bit versions in case I have to use a 32 bit OS. So I put the files from both zip distributions into the same folder. My problem is that since I have two FCXE executables, I have to rename one ...

Oh, please, please, Marek, can you add a hotkey to abort the search for network location???? If I try to access \\mycomputer and I accidentally type \\mycomputr then I have to wait for the timeout before FreeCommander unfreezes. So, I type in an address \\mycomputer\c$ and I wait for it to determine...

Yeah, I don't usually use the tree.

Well, I'm still having this problem. This time, the other computer is on the network and I type the address into FreeCommander's addressbar: \\theComputer\ and as soon as I type the c$ for the administrative share, FreeCommander ghosts white and I cannot interact with it anymore until it resolves th...

Hey, all! I sign up for lots of tech and software feeds. I just found that Gizmo at Gizmo's freeware has done a review on FreeCommander and even given it his current pick for best free file manager. Let me encourage y'all then to visit over there and rate our FreeCommander with lots of stars and lea...

Here is another scenario: I have a laptop and I plug it in so it is now connected to the network. On my workstation I use FC to open \\mylaptop\c$ by typing the address into the addressbar. FC freezes when I type \\mylaptop and it does not display the \c$ as I type because it is busy negotiating the...
