FreeCommander Forum

Ok thanks!

As I understand, in the free version, this change would appear at the end of 2024, right?

Yes, of course. But I didn't want to add the Created Date column to maximize the space for the Name column. (My file names are very long.) I only want to check out the latest files I have downloaded, so that I can rename them properly. I do not need to check out their actual created dates. I only ne...

Hi

I am using the latest FC on Win 11.

I always use the folder panels in Details view.
I need to frequently change the sorting between Name and Created date columns.

How do I set sorting on Created date using the CTRL+F5 shortcut?

I download many files from internet. Most of them have a cryptic name, so I rename them after their title. I use the QV to view the first page of the file, and copy the title from there. Then I press F2 and paste the copied text in the file's name. Then I press ENTER to complete the renaming operati...

Yes, this worked.

Thanks a lot!

BTW I found the FreeCommander.ini file here: C:\Users\<userName>\AppData\Local\FreeCommanderXE\Settings\Bkp_Settings_2023-12-13 07-59-23 Is that the correct file? I am asking this because I could not find the FileListRowSelect=0 parameter listed there. I experimentally added the FileListRowSelect=1 ...

But earlier there was an option to select items: 1. Select only when the rectangle touches the text in the Name column, 2. Select when the rectangle passes over the blank space on the right in the Name column. I had selected the second option, so that I would not miss the short file names during rec...

I installed the 900 build just now. I ran the executable without uninstalling the older (880) version first. In my old version, I had disabled the "whole row selection" option. So I could click on any column except the Name column, and start drawing a rectangle with the mouse to select mul...

Thanks!

I am using FC 880 Public on Windows 11 Home. I always use the folder panels in Details view mode (CTRL+F2). I am also using three plugins to view the items in QuickViewer: sLister+SumatraPDF uLister+Oracle Outside In Technology multimedia All the plugins worked just fine. But I have started facing a...

Thanks indeed: That was a wonderful tip! (I use a lot of powerful apps, and it is very difficult to remember all hotkeys in all those apps. So it's best to set the hotkeys logically.) SHFT+F2 it is! 👌🏽 Maybe there is some difference in ReNamer, which is why %ActivSelName% didn't work. I don't prefer...

Thanks for the rapid response! BTW the %ActivSelName% parameter did not work: The selected files were not passed to ReNamer. I changed the parameter to %ActivSel% and that works. (Recording here so that other users can benefit.) I set the hotkey and now it works in one shot. A related question: The ...

I often use the powerful bulk renaming app: ReNamer . Currently, I have added the path to the ReNamer executable to the "Send to" folder. Thus, after selecting multiple files in the FC's Folder panel, I right click and then select the Send to option, and then select the ReNamer option. Thi...

Solved! I had overlooked the solution that is already provided in the same post. Here is a summary of the steps I followed: 1. Download the zip file provided in this post 2. Create a new installation folder, and extract the following 32-bit files in it: mmedia.wlx, MediaInfo32.dll, mmedia.ini 3. Lau...

Update: I tried to change the settings of the mmedia.uwlx plugin First, I changed the content of the Detect string column to "MEDIA" (The General tag defines the term "Media" as audio/video extensions, so I thought changing "Multimedia" to "media" might work.)...
