FreeCommander Forum

Hi,

I would like to know if there are plans to update the GUI of FreeCommander to comply with modern standards:
Round corners in Windows 11
Scroll bars that follow the theme colors (dark/light)

Other file managers, also based in Lazarus, already implement such upgrades:

Updated the script to 7-Zip version 24.08 (2024.08.11)

Hi,

I updated the script to the latest 7-Zip version (23.01) and fixed some of the issues users were facing.
It now downloads the plugin payload directly from GitHub repository.

I tested it with the 896 64-bit version (donor) and with the 880 32-bit version (public release) in a clean Windows 10 ...

Version 1.5 released

This version includes the latest 7-Zip 21.07 featuring VHDX support, improved TAR packaging and memory optimization.

Download from my Website: https://www.danbp.org/p/en/node/151
or from GitHub: https://github.com/danpeig/freecommande ... _installer

Version 1.3 released

The version 1.3 of the plugin uses Total 7-Zip 21.01 alpha libraries. I normally don't use alpha/beta releases but this is important, it fixes several bugs since 7-Zip 19.01.

If there is a way to do that I could not find anywhere.
I know that the option of sending a tab to the other panel exists in the content menu but I think it would be more user friendly if we could drag from one panel to the other using the mouse like we do inside the same panel.

It works with the Portable version Sumatra as well.... but only as external viewer.
Settings:

- Filter: *.pdf
- Program: Path to Sumatra exe.
- Parameters: %AcceptOnlyFiles%

Do not forget to enable the filter.

Menu Tools -> Settings -> Viewer -> - Viewer (Button) -> General (tab):

Include the PDF (.pdf) extension in Windows Preview box to let Windows use the internal viewer.
or
Include the PDF (.pdf) extension in the Internet ...

Dear friends,

I compiled a set of instructions to configure the FreeCommander to display text files/source code with syntax highlight from the built in viewer. This relies on the converter feature and uses the excellent Highlight software from Andre Simon .

I was not expecting someone would have both versions in the same folder but I can add a couple of lines in the next version to account for this scenario .

The script detects the 32-bit or 64-bit versions based on presence of the files FCIcons.dll and FCIcons64.dll . Do you have a copy of the 64-bit library in your 32-bit installation directory? This could happen if the 32-bits version was installed over a previous 64-bit version or vice-versa. In such ...

Okay, I have figured it out.
Your script is removing the BOM from the INI file. I have opened and saved freecommnder.ini with BOM and now everything is fine.


Thank you for the tip! I released an updated version of the script to fix the BOM problem. Now it generates the new configuration file ...

Hello CM630,

- The PowerShell script should not close automatically.
- Inside the script there are no Yes/No questions. The only dialog box should be the Windows User Access Control.

I will try to figure out what happened....

Meanwhile let's fix you actual problem:

1. Go to you FreeCommander ...
