It would be nice to have an option that allows the Quick view pane to be displayed automatically after a search is complete rather than have to select it manually every time.
With documents , for me, it is really useful to see contents for comparison purposes.

Is it possible to update the search results pane to reflect a move of files from the search pane to a new folder?
Currently a new 'Find' is required each time to see that they are now in a new folder.
The search pane represents a great way to relocate files found in the wrong folder

When moving a file from one panel to the other by drag and drop and the file ALREADY exists in the destination panel, a box is displayed giving options. If 'Replace the file in the Destination' is chosen AND the destination Quick view panel is displaying the file (a pdf in this case), the operation ...

Thank you again, disabling 'Use blocking transfer' does the trick for 'Use Windows' and 'Use FreeCommander'.
'Help' does explain its use but it seems to be enabled by default. Thank you again for your help.

Thank you for the information on Queuing and I can see that in certain instances it can be quite quick select item(s) F5 F2 provided files are going to the same destination all the time. However, if you want to move your files to different destination folders all the time it will be a real pain havi...

Copying large or multiple files from a folder in one panel to a folder in the other panel freezes FreeCommander completely. You have to wait for the progress window to complete before you can do anything else. I have tried using a separate instance of FreeCommander and copying between instances but ...

Copying ielib32.dll to Windows\System32 ( or into Program Files(x86)\FreeCommander XE ) fixes the problem, I was copying ielib64.dll into Windows\SysWOW64 forgetting that my FreeCommander version is 32 bit. Thank You.

FreeCommander XE 2018 Build 780 32 bit Public beta Selecting a .CR" or a .RAW image file generates a loader error when trying to display the image in the viewer pane. https://www.dropbox.com/s/caf9c75cp7f7fkb/screen_20181009_213233.png?dl=0 A toolbar appears in the viewer pane but no Image so it is ...

Some more observations: Using Tab will move down the screen but Shift Tab doesn't move up the screen as per windows explorer. It is very useful to use both to move up and down the screen quickly even if you don't rename every file. A work around I have used (instead of going back to Explorer) is to:...

Version 760 32-bit build Public Beta New addition: The tab key can now be used on rename to advance to and open the next file for renaming Bug: On Tabbing the viewer is not updated to display the new file to be renamed. This important (in my case) since the information needed to rename the file is c...

In windows when a file name has been opened to rename, closing with the TAB key will 1. Complete the rename 2. Open the next file ready for renaming. This doesn't happen in free commander even though I have opted for windows style processing. This is a huge labour saving feature when doing a large n...

I didn't have the parent directory icon enabled, however it still requires two separate clicks to go back to the last directory. Lazy? Not if you are doing this kind of operation dozens of times a day.

Clicking on the folder path would do 2 jobs at once saving time, closing one operation and starting another.
I am on 730, but it's nice to know that it has been fixed in a later build.
Anything that minimises the time or the number operations required to action something is important to any user.

After renaming a file/folder, closing the rename by clicking on the directory path to select its parent folder, the rename is not completed and remains unchanged.

Windows File Explorer completes the rename and treats any other selection as an 'Enter'.

When deleting a file/folder (using Windows), the dialog box pops up in the middle of the screen. Snap to ensures the focus is in the most probable box, but after execution the cursor stays roughly where the box was. As I have a very wide screen (very popular nowadays), I have to bring the cursor a l...
