Few suggestions

Post by *Craftos »

- File Copy Queue should be as checkbox in copy/move dialogs. The add in Options default action: use FileQueue by default.
- Move Search (Alt+F7) to other thread (just like Copy/Move/Delete). Don't know why closing this window takes quite long time (takes about a second for windo to react on key/click).
- Error during FTP connection should get you back to FTP list, not to File panes.
- There should be possibility to add files to subfolders in archives. Don't know why it is blocked now.
- While inside archive there should be similar options to normal right-click for files. Especially "Open with..." would be handy.

Christian has explained before the reasons this is not possible. Use the search feature of the forum to locate discussions on “searching in the background”.

What’s the logic in that if there is an error in the connection? Or am I missing something here in your suggestion?!

Well, it works here! At least for zip files!

Yes, that could be useful sometimes.

1. "Queue" function does not support the whole functionality regular Commander's copy routine does, e.g. NTFS permissions coping do not supported.
2. There is one very rare but as well very unpleasant bug in it that leads to the whole queue crash. AFAIK it's not fixed yet.

And of course it could be some other reasons for the fact that Copy Queue is just an additional Commander's functionality now. Actually there are a lot of thing Christian can do to make BTM better and he told that he will probably add some of them.

Read this.

It was already reported not so long ago.

Among "regular" archive types adding files to archive subdirectories supported only for RARs and ZIPs now.[/face]
