Re: Dragging folders to drive bar

Thanks Ralf for checking and agreeing. At least it is not something foolish I have done. I will have to compensate by not using drag and drop for multiple folders. Have a great weekend.

Re: Dragging folders to drive bar problem

Additional info I just noticed- 1) Though the folders come over to the other drive empty, the files that were in the source folders come over outside the folders. So the destination folder has 2 empty sub-folders and multiple files not in the sub-folders. 2) This happens when I drag 2 or more folder...

Dragging folders to drive bar

I am using beta 32 bit in windows 8.1 (and 7) ) and I have the setting where there is a toolbar on top with all my sub-folders individually listed (show drive?). I drag and drop files and folders from the main tree to that bar. But when I look at the network sub-folder (on another computer in the ho...

Re: 64 bit context menu?

I meant using only 64 bit apps on a 64 bit OS. Your Nero does not have a 64 bit shell extension, so it's not available in the context menu (XE 64 bit shows only the 64 bit context menu). You have to use XE 32 bit to get access to Nero's shell extension. Thanks joby_toss for that explanation. So I s...

Re: 64 bit context menu?

The line you're talking about is ShowContextMenu64Bit=0 , but AFAIK there is only the 64 bit context menu available in XE x64 (as it should be when you're willing to go the full 64 bit route). Nero must not have a 64 bit shell extension. You can use XE public portable version to access the 32 bit c...

64 bit context menu?

In 2016 Build 717 64-bit donor is there a 64 bit context menu as was in the earlier non-donor version? I used to select some files, right click (or Win logo and right click) and saw a choice to send these files to burn in Nero. That is not present since I switched to the above version. "Burn wi...

Re: Drag & Drop not working [crash in latest public beta]

It's a few months later and I am using FreeCommander XE 2016 Build 717 64-bit donor and having a similar problem intermittently. Sometimes drag and drop gets me the same error as mentioned above. But not always.....

Re: Not responding more and more often

Thanks - it's been much better using the donor version. Such pauses are barely long enough for me to notice them. I do have tons of data and program on my computer, all necessary for what I do. That causes pauses too, I imagine.

Re: How to disable the vertical middle icon bar between pane

Thanks - I never thought of asking and it looks so much better without the splitter (to me, anyway).

right click file to bring up Nero burner does not appear

What I can't get to work now (64 bit donor) is to right click files and choose Nero to burn them. In 32 bit it used to work with win logo + right click. In the old 64 bit it worked straight out. In this 64 bit donor it is not appearing at all. A workaround is to open Nero and then drag the files to ...

Re: unselect selected file

I already had that select setting done. Where I am now is close to good. I copied the ini file from the working laptop (also donor 64 bit) and used it to create a new FC on my desktop with its settings. Though I had checked to show hidden file they did not show (and I do use appdata) but I manually ...

Re: unselect selected file

I may uninstall and reinstall to see if that works but I don't want to lose my settings. You don't need to uninstall anything To start FC XE with default settings and without plugins, you have to launch it with these command line parameters (your settings will be preserved): /N /NewIni=FreeCommande...

unselect selected file

I posted in the beta forum but it may not be the beta's fault. When I ctrl-click several files (or shift-click) and want to un-select one of the clicked files, it does not work in fc (beta 64 latest one). But it works if I switch to Explorer or Powerdesk 6. Any suggestions of what setting I might ha...

cannot unselect with ctrl-click

I installed the latest 64 bit beta on a laptop running Windows 8.1 and a desktop running windows 7. I use shift and left-mouse to select several files (or ctrl and left-mouse for non contiguous files). I wish to unselect one of them. The Win 8.1 laptop lets me ctrl-click the file I want to deselect ...
