Re: Does drag/drop via mouse work between "details" panes?

As I worked through my manual compare->update of old-INI to new-INI (initially simply to find the left-right/top-bottom items) I initially was using an "automated compare" program (Beyond Compare). It revealed that over the years some newer sections of the INI file had been "added&quo...

Re: Does drag/drop via mouse work between "details" panes?

Ok. I've manually examined my old top/bottom INI file vs. the new default INI file from the brand new from-scratch install. My previous INI file had evolved over the decades, going back many years and having additional items and sections added as new functionality appeared. It's likely that the re-u...

Re: Does drag/drop via mouse work between "details" panes?

So I decided to take your suggestion, and revert FCXE back to initial starting default settings, in order to try this drag/drop then. But I couldn't seem to find any way to do that via built-in "reset to factory default settings" functionality. So instead I decided to just wipe out my enti...

Re: Does drag/drop via mouse work between "details" panes?

(1) As I said, I have not started FCXE "as administrator". Also, for the shortcut I actually use to launch it, right-click -> Properties -> Advanced reveals the "run as administrator" box is UN-CHECKED. So no way is the program starting "as administrator. (2) I mentioned tha...

Re: Does drag/drop via mouse work between "details" panes?

Nope, program/shortcut is NOT "run as administrator". Win7 Pro x64. I've double-checked my Tools -> Settings -> File/Folder operations -> Drag&Drop tab, and I had some other boxes checked. Note that they must have been checked by default because I've never been into this group. Anyway,...

Does drag/drop via mouse work between "details" panes?

I operate with over/under "horizontal" split screen. So two panes (Explorer Tree and Details) on both top and bottom, four panes total on the screen. Normally, I copy/move file(s) FROM source details pane TO target details pane, by selecting the one or more folder(s)/file(s) in the source ...

Re: Shortcut text names

Well, I don't know if drag-drop from one panel to another via mouse (as opposed to by using F5/F6 to accomplish copy/move for files) is supposed to be working in FCXE, but drag-drop using mouse doesn't seem to work me in 816. I was trying to reproduce the actions and results you described, and opene...

Re: Shortcut text names

I don't have that symptom. My *.LNK shortcuts appear in the corresponding Start Menu folders named exactly as I created them, whatever that is. But then I also have UN-CHECKED the "hide extensions for known file types". So the complete name of anything always shows, including whatever .3 e...

Re: 814: auto-refresh after unzip/Winrar no longer happens

[815] still a bit buggy - sometimes for auto-refresh. if I delete a file with another program (e.g. in Word Save-As dialog) auto-refresh is still not reliable. * sometimes it auto-refreshes immediately --> no problem * sometimes it auto-refreshes with several seconds delay (up to 30sec) --> minor p...

Re: Can't see inside \DCIM picture folder on iPhone?

Turns out I still had build 808 installed on my cousin's PC. Upgraded to latest 815 just to see if it made any difference, and it did. We ran another test, and this time I was able to see inside the \100APPLE folder (as well as the multiple \nnnCLOUD folders, each of which previously was also not pr...

Can't see inside \DCIM picture folder on iPhone?

My cousin has an iPhone (7) and I help out doing things like transferring pictures from phone to PC folders, etc. Today we had such a need, but I ran into a problem. I could browse down to the "Apple Phone" in "This PC" (Win10), and then \Internal storage, and then \DCIM, and the...

814: auto-refresh after unzip/Winrar no longer happens

I right-click on a ZIP file, get the context popup menu and select WINRAR and then select one of the unzip options (typically either (a) "here" or (b) to an automatically named folder with the same name as the zip file). The unzip process then occurs. Normally, the FCXE presentation automa...

Re: Using FreeCommander from the command line?

No idea if it applies to your situation, but I have a similar situation in my EMAIL client program (a 3rd-party product named Agent, from Forte). There is a way to override standard Windows default programs when launching an email attachment, allowing the user to specify the command-line to be invok...

An update on my objective of doing a mass-rename of my music collection (which consists of files in BOTH MP3 AND FLAC format) in order to insert "track number" into the front of external file name. As previously stated, FCXE already includes perfect mass-rename functionality but only for t...
