FreeCommander Forum

Well, it certainly is an odd one. The only other thing I can think of is that your INI file might have gotten corrupted. To test that, you'll have to use another file manager (with FC closed) to move or rename freeCommander.ini -- then open FC and it will create a new one. If the problem is gone, th...

Could it be that one of the Alt keys on your keyboard has gotten stuck?

Wouldn't comparing other lng files help? The number=command is the same for all.

Just for the record, I was running FC in Win7 today, in someone else's computer. To avoid problems and to keep my personal toolkit segregated, I copied my portable installation off a USB stick into a new directory called "programs2". I made sure the INI permissions were okay, and everythin...

Do you want FC to read the INI file from its install directory? That causes conflicts with User Access Control because Windows wants all INIs to be in the user directory. There may be two INIs, one that is read and a different one that is written to. I don't know every detail about Windows7, I'm an ...

Yes, unless Windows 7 thinks it knows better... lol

In the connection Properties (right-click on connection name if it isn't open already) -- go to Connection details . There is a field for Proxy server . Or open the global Settings dialog (Extras - Settings), and in the FTP pane there is a button labeled [Define] Connection - default options It open...

Do you have any problem with other FC settings?

You need to compare the folders first ("Compare" button) and there are all sorts of possibilities for filtering, and choosing which way to copy; then click "Synchronize". Be careful.

Ha ha, there are those who laugh at me when I am not eager to upgrade to 7. Now I am all the happier with Vista, with bugs I know well

Hmm, I missed that trick, couldn't find it. I'll have to look again.
