Please don't remove properties boxes
Posted: 05.12.2013, 15:22
I'm new here. I have been using FreeCommander for years and think it is an excellent creation; hats off to Marek!
One thing I find very frustrating is that FC treats the Properties dialogue box (Alt-Enter or File | Properties) as a temporary pop-up. As soon as the focus changes, the box disappears. This is annoying for at least 3 reasons:
* it's inconsistent with general MS Windows behaviour;
* makes it impossible to compare multiple properties side-by-side;
* if a disc test is started from the drive properties, then the
dialogue box disappears as soon as the user does anything else.
The "properties" dialogue boxes already have control buttons, so please leave them alone once they've been opened! Or at least make such behaviour an option (in which case I believe it should be the default setting).
Thanx,
Max
