Re: Unable to drag-n-drop folders outside of FC with names greater than 33 characters.

Re: Unable to drag-n-drop folders outside of FC with names greater than 33 characters.

I've performed some further tests using v. 901.

It appears to be something to do with having a period somewhere in the name.

This works

Unable to drag-n-drop folders outside of FC with names greater than 33 characters.

I'm unable to drag-n-drop folders outside of FC with names greater than 33 characters.

If I drag it onto windows desktop, or a shortcut icon, it displays a white circle with a diagonal line through it, preventing me from completing the action.

I've tested it on Window's file explorer & works as ...

Hi

I've FC set up so if I double-click on a .jpg in file list it will open in FC's internal viewer, the equivalent of pressing F3.

However in a search files (Ctrl+F) results list, double clicking it returns this error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeCommander XE\%InternalViewer%

Re: FileContainer jumps to parent folder but only when using a custom .ini file

I am using folder tree.
Prompted by your comments I closed FT & the program.
Upon restarting I reopen FT & all seems to be stable.
I'll send the ini file if it reoccurs (I assume as I restarted, the ini problem was overwritten.)

Additional:
To double check I had the latest I clicked on 'check for ...

If you mean the instruction on how to turn tooltips on, then I think my original comment made it clear I knew how to do that.

Tooltip for files only displaying occasionally.

HI
Build 880 32-bit public

When I hover the cursor over files the tooltip is displaying only occasionally. It's for all types of files & the display settings (details list, thumbnail etc) makes no difference.

I've tried turning them off/on under View>Show (& saving settings) but to no avail.

Is ...

Re: Open FC with the specified folder expanded in Tree windows.

Still no luck, I'm afraid.
My Tree settings are identical to yours & altering the computers settings made no difference.

Re: Open FC with the specified folder expanded in Tree windows.

Unfortunately that doesn't work for me.
The treeview remains unexpanded & the focus remains on the RH pane.

As the LH pane isn't visible, does it need to be specified?

Is there a way for Viewer (F3) to have a single instance?

Hi

https://freecommander.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1961

It's a bit hidden, but it's possible - In Viewer menu > Options > Configure... disable option "Viewer is visible in taskbar".

Is this option still available? I'm unable to locate it. Which tab is it on/has it moved?

Cheers
