Thanks. First, please let me apologize for asking for the KB #. You clearly wrote it in your original message, but I didn't recall reading it. It appears my mind was partially ...

Per default the Windows API move operation does not compress the file (copy operation make it).
I wrote it to my to-do list.

Thank you! I look forward to the fix when you have time.

FC v926 64-bit in Win11

When using the toolbar button defined as:
actFileMove=Move: &Move ; Moves the selected items. The command executor is depending on the settings.

And the destination folder is set to always compress its contents (verified using Windows' compact.exe), the moved file will not ...

Have you tried Shift+Enter (Attributes/Timestamp) - field "Target"?


Thank you Karol! I would have never thought to look in that dialog box, as its function is quite different... but sure enough, there it is! It's a step in the right direction as compared Windows, but not very visible or ...

One of the unfortunate limits of Windows File Explorer, is that it still does not show targets for junctions. Even manually going into the Properties dialog box for the folder does not show the correct information (really, Microsoft?). :shock:

The user is forced to go into PowerShell or a command ...

Confirmed, Alt+/ (next to right Shift), can be assigned, but does not work.

Alt+/ (numpad) works good.

Thanks. BTW, I think it perhaps worked in a previous version of FC or with FC in Windows 7, because I had it set that way in an old FC configuration file. I doubt ...

Thanks. I thought maybe I wasn't understanding how it was supposed to work. Good to know it's a confirmed bug.

Assigning the keyboard shortcut Alt+/ (Alt+forwardslash) no longer seems to work. Specifically, I tried to assign it to the swap panel action.

The user can add a toolbar button to show a dropdown containing a list of all tabs. However, the items in this list do not match the order in which the tabs are presented in the pane. I think the UX will be improved if the order of the menuitems ...

FreeCommander XE 2025 Build 920 64-bit donor on Win11

FreeCommander features a dialog box in which the user can set file attributes/timestamps. In this dialog box, if the system is not set for 24 hour clock (IOW, it is set to show times with AM/PM indicators), the AM/PM field is hidden from view ...

FreeCommander XE 2025 Build 920 64-bit donor on Win11

If the Name column is set to auto-size by name length, and the user renames a file to a longer name, the Name column does not automatically increase in size.

Would it be possible to have the Name column auto-size after the user renames a file ...

Thank you for the confirmation Timon.

BTW, one common use case for copying the actual checksum of the file is for reporting purposes.

FreeCommander XE 2024 Build 903 64-bit donor

In the "Compute Checksums" dialog box, the "Copy to clipboard" button does not work when comparing a file's checksum to a known checksum and the checksums do not match. In this case, it will be useful for that button to copy the checksum of the file to ...

I do use the "Use Windows" option. Thank you for confirming that message box is issued by Windows itself.
