FreeCommander Forum

Today I have good News about the renaming folders with thumbnails problem. FreeCommander shines again and can rename folders with thumbnails and functions in a normal way as it did before the problem arises.

It appears that it had to do with Windows update as I assumed in former posts.

Friday 6 ...

For the time being I will still use FreeCommander. I found out a workaround so that I still can view files in a folder as thumbnails and rename it without compromising my workflow too much.
I noticed that my topic received some attention. For those who still want to use FreeCommander on a little ...

Hello Marek,
Because I still cannot say goodbye to FreeCommander, I keep on using it and try to find out why it can't rename folders with images.

Instead of what I determined in my last post, I updated Windows instead of reversing the last update.
And to my surprise after the update, I could ...

Thank you ralfso for your sugestions. I will try them out.

I work with external USB drives only.

About the updates we agree... I also think that it is related with Windows-update as I mentioned in my last post:

In the autumn last year I installed a little program that had to prevent Windows to ...

Hello Marek,

Thank you for letting me know that this problem has still your attention.

The problem arises when I try to rename folders that contain images.

So I can rename folders with text documents or mp4's but not folders with jpg's and RW2 (Panasonic raw).

Hello Dreamer,
Today I read your instructions again and saw that you asked for two Quick Views in both panes.
I appologize for not reading that at once.
I made active Quick View in both window panes and got an error message:

Hello Dreamer, thank you for your Ideas

As I already described in my first mail about this subject I am using IrfanView a lot and I'am aware that it is not possible to rename a file or folder when it is loaded in Irfaview or FreeCommanders internal viewer or any other program. For years I'am using ...

Today I started FreeCommander and I was able to rename a folder that contains images.
The problem arises after copying images from my camera sd card. So I created a folder with F7, gave it a name 180515, copied a selection from sd to the new folder. After judging the thumbnails, I wanted to extend ...

Hello Marek, thank you for your quick response.
No that is not the cause of the problem. I know Quick view and of course I made shure that it was not active during renaming a folder.
After reading your comment I launched FreeCommander for the first time today, tried to rename a folder with images ...

Problem solved see latest post.

I tested this issue with release 670 20 august 2014 and I confirm that the problem has been fixed.

Switch F10 dual/one panel...Folder tree remains hidden

In the dual panel mode I use the setting:

File system tree: one tree per panel
Position in panel: left left

When I start in the dual panel mode with two panels with each panel a file tree and switch to one panel mode; close FileCommander ...

I think the problems has been fixed. I tested: select with shift + mouseclick = perfect; Ctrl + mouseclick = perfect; drag the selection = perfect; select one file = perfect; Ctrl + a = perfect. Are there any other options I have to check?

This fix makes life a lot easier.

So I'am most happy ...
