Thanks, this really helps
I use FC since many years and obviously still did not found all useful features...

If you are already in the "Multi rename" window, and want to rename not all files, then I thought its possible to select just the files I want to rename. But selection in the "Multi rename" window is ignored for the rename operation (so I several times needed to undo the not wanted renames by hand ...

I selected all files in a directory for rename, but finally wanted to rename just some of them. I expected that this could be archived by selecting the files before click on "Rename", but this does not work. I think the selection should either be respected or FC should show a warning if some but not ...

I have favorite toolbar entry to start windows terminal in active or selected directory, but this does not work if directory name contains semicolon.

E.g. if you have a directory "D:\temp\a;b"
and toolbar entry:

If I'm in a dir with ";" in the path, e.g. "C:\temp\A;B;C", then click "Search for files/folders", add some name and click "Find" I only get errors in "Search log". Even after adding double quotes around the path by hand it does not work.

PS.: In e.g. "FreeCommanderXE-64-donor_portable800.zip ...

For explanation why I checked the command line handling: In want to be able to open path in FreeCommander via SendTo from any other application (like Everything, 7zFM, Windows explorer and any file or dir selection dialogues). Unfortunately the options are not evaluated position independent, so e.g ...

I had to restore my system and forgot to update FreeCommander after this - it's an old problem from 771, and Ralf is right, the problem does not exist in 797. This issue can be closed.

Hello Ralf.

My "::Computer" shows mapped and subst drives, but no other special things!? Nevertheless it does not work here, see screen-shot. Would it help if I send my settings files?

PS: In the screen-shot you can see another small problem: N: mapping is shown with a red "x". Even after ...

I start FreeCommander default with ::Computer

Then call like

C:\Tools\FreeCommanderXE\FreeCommander.exe /T C:\Users /C

does not work - new tab is ::Computer instead of "C:\Users"

If I open e.g. "C:\", same command does what it should do.

If FreeCommanderXE is running with tab ::Computer in active panel (in list view and "Favorites Tree" active, "Folder Tree" not active) the following command line simply opens a second ::Computer tab instead of "P:\E0xxx\E06xx\E065x":

"C:\Tools\FreeCommanderXE\FreeCommander.exe" /T "P:\E0xxx\E06xx ...

1. The "Split file" function is still missing in FC XE 2017 Build 740 :(.

2. But there is a "Split file" icon in the list of commands, which you can add to some action toolbar - which gives you an always disabled (useless) button in your toolbar! As long as the function does not exist, the entry ...

Due to the stupid DST handling in MS-Windows the file time can change by 1h if DST status changes :evil:, and this depends on the used file system. E.g. if you copy files form NTFS-HD to FAT-USB-stick in summer, then compare in winter (ore vice versa), you will notice that time of some files differs ...

You can make a topic in the section "Feature Requests".
OK - for me it looked like a bug to support the "1 h difference ignore" in "Folder -> Synchronize" but not in "Folder -> Compare" - and I don't care if it's called a bug or a feature request, and I don't wanted to duplicate the issue. But I ...

I just tested with "FreeCommanderXE-64-donor_portable734.zip": There is still no option "1 h difference ignore" for "Compare folders" .
