But the FC Back is not back, it's history back.


And I've already established previously that I know that. And, again, I've also pointed out previously this is not my topic. I merely posted to reinforce that the current history functionality of the left arrow (aka back) button is also confusing ...

Please read the detailed post I just made yesterday clarifying what the OP and I are talking about in this topic.

For me, the Back button on the keyboard does it, no need for any special FC button.
That's the default in any file manager, and I have a lot of them.

I can only second this. In all file explorers I have been using (Windows, Linux), the "backspace" key brings the User to the folder above.


OK ...

For those who expect/want the back button to function as it does in Explorer (always goes up one level) is there any way to make it do so?

After updating from 901 to 921 FreeCommander XE will no longer display slashes in dates, instead using commas. Attached image shows this happening for all dates in a folder and the setting window indicating the timestamp format is set to mm/dd/yyyy hh:nn AM/PM. Again, this setting worked as expected ...

OK, I have updated the FreeCommanderXE_portable.zip file.
Two files was added: fcStart.ini and what_is_fcStart_ini.txt.

Additionally the PortableApps package is now available.


FYI: In latest FreeCommanderXE-32-public_portable921.zip there is only what_is_fcStart_ini.txt but not the actual ...

I also tried yours and several other choices but none of them display total used space on the disc. My guess is this would need to be added to the program code. For example, similar to the existing entry (Free [fc_discFree]) which shows total free space on the disc, I believe something like fc ...

Is there a way to always show hidden files/folders on the C drive but not other drives? TIA

OK, you're coming at this from using a command prompt window. Thanks for providing an alternative/workaround but I was trying to find a way to get the same Windows Defender scan window you get by right-clicking a file/folder and choosing Scan With Microsoft Defender. I prefer that window due to it a ...

Defender command line from my WinRAR config:
C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe -Scan -ScanType 3 -File "%f"
This can be changed to FC and made as a Favorite toolbar entry.


Thanks for the info. However, I've tried about 10 different ways of creating a favorite to accomplish this and ...

FYI: Problem persists after updating to Build 901 32-bit public.

I realize this is an old topic; however, I found it due to likewise being confused as to why setting the condition All Subfolders doesn't actually result in all subfolders displaying the same columns.

For example, the condition <sub>D:\Music does not actually result in all subfolders of Music on ...

All other favorite items open correctly within FC. However, I created one to my Android Phone and when I double-click on it, it launches Windows File Explorer and displays the folder within it instead. I've exited FC (and Explorer) re-launched FC and ...

Thank you, Marek. Much appreciated.
