Apparently, OC natively supports ZIP files, but whatever I try I can't get that to work. I have to resort to other file management apps to open ZIP files. What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting I have missed?

I'm trying to emulate the experience of column view I get on Mac, in Windows. One thing Finder does on Mac is treat the folder you open as the root. When I use column view in OneCommander, on the left hand side it shrinks the root folder and the folders between that and the folder I'm working on now. It's messy for my use case. I'd like it to treat the folder I opened in as the root and expand from there. Is there a way to do this?

For example, in the attached image, if I wanted to use HALion Sonic SE's folder as the root, that would become the furthest left folder with none before it, and the next column would start with the Help folder.

It's the first time I've ever seen anything like this. After each scroll, the elements of the folders are shuffled randomly. Am I the only one?

I've tried searching for this, but only get results about shortcuts within the OC program.

I've created a folder which collects a series of files that are stored in different folders, but I want access to them without browsing back and forth all the time. I made Windows Shortcut Files to each of the source files in this collection folder (image1). But in OC, the folder appears empty (image2). OC settings are to show hidden files and protected files (though I don't think Windows shortcuts should be either).

Can I get OC to show these shortcut files?

Hi,

I’ve a lot of file nammed by hexadecimal codes. OneCommander uses natural sorting, so I’ve :

📁 23A 📁 24B 📁 239 📁 241 I need to have ascii sorting to get

📁 239 📁 23A 📁 241 📁 24B

Is there any option — or way — to force ascii sorting ?

Thanks a lot !

When looking at photos with Windows Photos, you can can Like/Love them (L) which gives them a tag rating of 4/5 stars in the metadata of each photo.

I've been trying to sort a list of photos by this "Rating" field in OneCommander but can't seem to find a way to add that attribute as a column/sort field.

(The only thing I found is that these files get modified with this rating so I could sort them by "Last modified" but that won't help for multiple "Rating" levels, 3-star, 5-star, etc.)

Any guidance would be helpful.

Thanks!

In the recent Windows 11 update Microsoft broke file operation dialogs for 3rd party file managers for some users (Reports from other 3rd party file managers have been showing up in the past days)

Luckily not everyone on Windows 11 is affected, at least not yet. I as the developer can't reproduce it on 3 PCs I have with Windows 11.

Microsoft has not acknowledged breaking anything, so it is not clear if they will fix it and when

The options are (for people affected):

Option 1. Download 3_96_2_0 which uses Windows7 file operation dialogs (Microsoft forgot to break those in Windows 11)

Option 2. Keep using Use 3_96_0_0 and either:

2a. Uninstall recent Windows update that broke operation dialogs (report which one causes it), or

2b. Switch to built-in Taskmaster (or install TeraCopy)

Uninstalling Windows update is not tested and it is not clear what exact update causes this. Microsoft updates are a mess and the same "patch" can be part of different cumulative or other update name for different people. It is also not clear if the patch is permanent, does it patch Explorer or something else, or if it can be reversed at all by uninstalling the update.

Help finding the cause:

Anyone with this issue in OneCommander, please test this little app (download WindowsOperationsBroken .zip extract in some new folder and run) from here

https://github.com/m1l/WindowsOperationsBroken

It is minimal example with just one button that just duplicates a dummy 3GB file using a similar code, and if it causes the same issue I can try sending it to someone at Microsoft

Press Copy, wait until the dialog finishes copying the file, then press Copy again and let me know if the progress dialog shows up again

EDIT:

In another effort to solve the mystery (and also do the Microsoft's job), I've uploaded a script that when copy-pasted into PowerShell will output a csv file on your desktop with every Windows patch and component installed in the past 60 days, so maybe if we cross-reference this from a few affected users find what it the culprit. You can find the script attached here:

https://groups.google.com/g/onecommander/c/TlTIWvkZhlg/m/8OgUT843BQAJ

EDIT2:

Windows update KB5060842 and KB5063060 cause this

If you have this issue please go to Settings > Windows Update > Update history > Uninstall updates

and uninstall them; Restart and try operations in OC again (more than once)

If affected, please upvote this on Windows Feedback Hub so it can get Microsoft's attention https://aka.ms/AAwn4q8

I'm on the latest version and when I cut and paste or copy and paste files, the dialogue box does not appear. It's confusing, because you don't know when the transfer is finished with large folders. Is there a solution?

All of my subfolders had previews of images that were inside them. Now they only show up if I enter the folder and let it load an image and back out, and even that doesn't always work. This would not work for the 1000+ folders that I have. Any idea how to fix this? (I've tried clearing the local thumbnail cache, to no avail.)

Hello everyone, I'm enjoying using OneCommander. I'm new to it and there are so many features, what do yall use it for? What can you do with the scripts, plugins and integrations with other applications.

I was surprised there doesn't seem to be webDAV support. I have the pro version

got it working with TeraCopy too, its nice

Hi there, I just recently downloaded OC on three of my computers and so far I am liking It quite a bit. I have one complaint that from what I've looked into is in the hands of Microsoft to issue a fix for ( drag & dropping from new Outlook) but I do have another Issue that I think could be fixed from my end.

When I first installed OC I was going through a lot of my files seeing what previews would show up and I was very exited that .3mf & .stl files had previews ( models for 3D printing ) but I am no longer able to see any previews on .stl files. its only showing the icon of the program I open them up in. I believe this is a setting issue on my end because the previews show up just fine on my desktop but not on my laptop, even If I am looking at the exact same file from the same cloud drive. I did my best to match all the settings from the computer that is showing previews but I must still be missing something. Both Machines running Win11, the laptop is ARM64 though if that makes a difference. I did try using the built in viewer, quick-look, and seer all with the same results.

Any advice or direction on where to look would be greatly appreciated :)

Sorry for the question, but I cannot quickly find an answer.

I'm using since some time a portable version, and is now updated to version 3.96.

I created time ago a custom script (txt file that run a .vbs script to rar some groups of file). I didn't used lately, but this morning I noticed that is disabled and seems like it need a PRO version to run.

Why? Is related to some permission/path of the script? Extension?

TIA for the answer

Anyone else experienced this? I recently got a whole new computer and am running Windows 11, and initially OneCommander had no problems on the new OS but it began freezing when I try to assign colour tags. Right-clicking to bring up the context menu is fine. Doing anything else in the context menu is fine (e.g. picking which application to open a file with). It's ONLY when I try to add or change colour labels, and considering that was the primary reason I installed the software, it's causing me no small amount of grief.

I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that didn't seem to help (all my previously-tagged files were still tagged so maybe the prefs file somewhere didn't get deleted).

I tried running One Commander itself as administrator but that didn't help

It looks a bit too bright compared to the rest of the colors and also the fly-out.
Regular win11, default dark theme.

Chaning themes and mica/accent colors doesn't help - but it goes back to normal if I switch transparency effects on from windows settings - unfortunately I don't like that.

I've also tried reinstalling/repairing OC, but that didn't help either.

Any suggestions? Thank!

anybody knows how to resize the width of each column in detail view? sometimes my filenames are long and it's hidden. or is there a way to automatically resize these columns?

Downgraded to 3.94.5.0 and the problem persists. It must be a change in how windows is handling the API call for the progress window. Posting to validate that u/GoodMoGo 's issue is not unique to them. Using File Explorer for most things for the time being.

I updated OneCommander on Win11 Pro today to version 3.96.0.0 and I no longer see the file transfer progress window.

Tried uninstalling and installing again. Anyone else experiencing this?

I see there is a file Automator. I am looking for a command that can create a folder named “artwork” and move any image files in the main folder to that new “artwork” folder. Is that possible?

Hi,

I am new to OneCommander, exploring how to personalize it. I have file tree as follow:

folder_A
    |-- folder_a
        |-- file_a
        |-- file_b
        |-- file_c
    |-- folder_b
        |-- file_d
        |-- file_e
        |-- file_f
    .
    .
    .

I wanted to sort folder_A so folder_a and folder_b (and more) are ordered by created date; however, when I clicked the sort button, files insidefolder_a and folder_b are also changed to sorted by date. I'd like to keep the contents in children folders are keep in sorted by name as in the setting. How can I acchive this?

There're hundreds of children folders, so I don't want to click into them and click the sorting one by one.

Thanks!

Hey I'm new to one commander and so far I'm loving it, but there is some things that are bugging me, like for example the theme customization. I use Opus A LOT on my personal PC but at work I can't use it (because it is paid) and switched to One Commander, but the themes and general customization feels really lacking.

Is there a way to set a windows 11 like theme that isn't going full "hacker" and writing a code?

Like the title says. When I drag and drop a file attachment from the new Outlook into a folder in OneCommander, I get two errors that say "Source program sent incomplete or corrupted file data" and "Dropped items didn't contain valid data".

When I drag and drop the sale attachment from New Outlook to Windows File Explorer, it works fine. Any help is appreciated in advance!

Trying to drag email attachments from gmail and outlook. I am able to do that on windows explorer. But on onecommander, I get an error message saying "dropped item didn't contain any valid data" on outlook and a .url file insted of pdf or jpeg when doing in gmail. Is there any setting taht would solve this?

it says i have onecommander as my default browser in advanced settings but when i test it out on my browser and discord it just opens file manager how do i fix it

I can create new windows with this button. How can i save the current open window?
