FreeCommander Forum

For me it happens every time. I'm using build 830 now. I'd say it started sometime in the Spring, maybe? Not sure when it started, but now it's consistent.

That's fine with me - I'm not really concerned whether you have 7zip in the context menu or not.

The whole point of my thread was to see from someone (Marek, maybe?) whether there's a fix for me to get it to work or if this is a bug.

You get the context menu when you select the options during the 7zip install on your system.

Well, I right-click on a zip folder and use "Extract to [foldername]\". The zip file extracts, but I cannot see the new folder in FC until I push the refresh button.

Sometimes my File menu gets out of whack - it takes on some strange spacing. I have not been able to figure what causes it though. I have to close and restart FC to get it back to normal. Normally, the menu bar isn't so spaced out. At the moment it seems to be stuck that way. [update] Okay, I fixed ...

I use 7-zip to extract files from zip folders. However, when I do this, FreeCommander does not display the files I've extracted. I can't remember what version it was when this began - it used to work fine, but maybe for the last few months it no longer shows the extracted files. I have to refresh Fr...

I use WinMerge

Okay, so I was copying a large folder from my external hard drive to a network share. The network share was a folder on a Synology DiskStation (some flavour of Linux, I think). The job was a long one, so I left it running. Something happened when I was away from my desk and when I returned there was...

Ah, the case is actually mine, as I started this thread; I'm going to see what happens with a fresh installation. I'll answer tomorrow, Marek.

Hi, Marek! My settings match the ones in that screenshot.

Ah, I do have it to start "as admin", in fact. Let me undo that and see if it makes any difference.

Actually, no, it wasn't running as admin. So that shoots both possible fixes.

In my Windows 10, I, too, have the setting unchecked. Again, in Windows Explorer, when I create a shortcut, the .exe is not present in the shortcut name - it is created without that. Only in FC does the .exe get appended to the shortcut name. AH - it only does it if I drag-n-drop. Try this: right-dr...

Say I create a shortcut to a program to put in the Start Menu folder. someprogram.exe The shortcut should look like this: someprogram.lnk But FreeCommander always creates: someprogram.exe.lnk I can't find a setting to fix that. But even Windows Explorer doesn't do that. IMHO, when you create a short...

Thanks, Marek. That gets rid of the empty toolbar.

FreeCommander XE 2020 Build 814 64-bit donor on Windows 10.1909 x64 I have several favourite tools groups. I want some to show only as toolbars and some to show only in the menus. I've discovered that you can't have some of them show ONLY in the menu or ONLY as a toolbar. You can only do that for th...

Thanks, Dreamer! I actually already changed it to flat icons - I just neglected to restart the program...
It's working now - thank you!
