both settings are already as per you described.

I changed settings, applied, changed them again to what it were earlier and as you described.

Now I left-click moved two folders and it worked correctly.

previously, I often and always faced problem of getting copied instead of moved.

Thanks.

I think it is not fc's default, I had created this toolbar entry following suggestions at this site.

My tooldbar does show "Dos-Admin" but it doesn't open in current folder, in opens in system32, I think.

I have defined in the MYTools entry script the following: (you would understand where what ...

in fc as well as in windows explorer, we can just drag drop file from anywhere to anywhere.

I had the same question (and problem) that I couldn't find system32\drivers\etc folder and this folder's contents in fc, but windows explorer showed everything promptly.

Most of the things have slowly migrated to 64 bits. Free commander is one of the daily use tools that is still on the (deprecated) 32 bit architechture.

please consider releasing at least one 64 bit version for non-donors. if not the latest, may be an older ...

You mean I just install somewhere else and test whether left column is getting updated or not, without even needing to transfer my existing settings to that, and then delete that?

Good enough. Shall surely do.

Thanks.

I don't want to go to portable version as that is to be manually maintained for installation and data location.

Windows standard installation takes care of program files, and then I can manage my data settings.

Can't confirm in the latest version 810a 32-bit public, if you're using older version, please upgrade to this one first.

It has been happening for years, so I don't think it is version or OS related.

Thanks.

If I delete a folder in right pane, the same folder continues appearing in left pane, thus creating confusion whether it didn't actually get deleted,

we have to go to right pane, click refresh and then it disappears.

I think, and folder deletion should automatically be reflected in both panes ...

For decade, I have been noticing that if I deleting any folder from left pane, fc hangs.

Sometimes it starts working again after a long time, but when I am doing something there and cannot wait, I have use task manager to End Task, and manually restart fc. No mouse click or keyboard key works in ...

I am using FC XE 2020 810a 32-bit public

It cannot be a bug, it has to be some settings.

Thanks.
