FreeCommander Forum

Many thanks - I've just spotted that this was implemented in 924.
Very prompt, and great support as ever.

Many thanks for the response.

Obviously not urgent. A 'nice to have' rather than a 'must have'.

There isn't a 'Features Request' category in the Donors' sub-forum.
I really wasn't sure whether this was a new feature that I was asking for, or an existing feature that I hadn't understood correctly.
I also assumed (!) that the answer wouldn't be dependent on the version of FreeCommander.

I have set up my active panel to have the stripe color scheme I'd like - light blue / white
However, I would like the inactive panel to be all one color - preferably a lowlight (grey) compared to the active panel.

I've experimented with the various options in Tools > Settings > View > File/folder ...

I believe the issue of changing the color of gridlines has been mentioned several times over the years, with no resolution.

Would it be possible to implement alternative styles of lines, even if the color can not be changed?
For example ...

Credit to you, Offpath, for the second post.

I've seen many forums where an OP makes a statement and then disappears from the thread while others waste their time trying to solve what was actually a non-existent problem in the software in question.

You've shown the right way here -

Hi Karol

Thank you very much for the prompt explanation.
Indeed, I am running 685a 64-bit.

I didn't realise when I downloaded my 64-bit version on 19th May that it wasn't quite what it stated here - ' the latest version “FreeCommander XE 2015 Build 685 64-bit donor” '. Latest and 685 are obviously ...

Hi there

I've been using Free Commander for a couple of week snow and I'm very pleased with it.
However there is one potentially very useful feature that I discovered that I can't get to function at all.

I was customising the action toolbars and I found a button/command named "Make file list and ...

I also think that one of the reasons that Windows Explorer offers a "open in new window" option is that it does not have the concept of tabs. If you want multiple folders open, or even the same folder multiple times, you have to use multiple windows.
With Free Commander and other tabbed file ...

Thanks for the response, joby_toss.

In the early days of using any new software, especially one with as many settings and configuration options as Free Commander, I'm always wary of having overlooked a vital check box or selection somewhere.

The other thing I try to ensure is to approach the new ...

Oh well, almost 48 hours and 27 views to date. But no responses.
I guess that means the answers are probably "no" and "no".

Never mind, I think the pros still outweigh the cons.
Maybe, once I become a fully-fledged FC-committed user, I can put these items in to the Features Request forum.

Hi all

I've just started experimenting with FreeCommander over the past 48-72 hours and its seems an excellent file manager. So much so that it's on its way to replacing my previous file manager. However I have a couple of queries that I can't find answers to either in the software itself, in the ...
