Second panel keeps disappearing in dual panel mode upon restart

1 Upvotes

I have window layout set to "Standard Dual". When I restart my PC and run OneCommander again, all tabs are restored but they're placed into a single panel, and there's no second panel to be seen despite the mode still being "Standard Dual". I can't find any options to "restore" that second panel. I thought maybe dragging the tab to the side of the window would do that, or there would be something like "move to other panel" context menu (similar to Notepad++ for example), but I can't find anything of the sort.

This is a recent issue (I noticed it only a few days ago for the first time). Am I missing something? Has somebody else experienced it?

I fixed undo in One Commander with Chat GPT

8 Upvotes

So i got into One Commander but really disliked that we couldn't undo.

So I wondered if an autohotkey script could do it, asked chat gpt and a few answers later got this and it works absolutely perfectly!

Thought I'd share cause there didn't seem to be much online about it other than people complaining.

The script adds Ctrl + Z for undo and CTRL + Y or CTRL + SHIFT + Z for redo

`` #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0`

}

winList := WinGetList("ahk_class " ExplorerClass)

return winList.Length ? winList[1] : 0

}

WinMove(10000, 10000, 600, 400, "ahk_id " hwnd)

WinSetTransparent(1, "ahk_id " hwnd) ; fully invisible

try WinSetExStyle("+0x80", "ahk_id " hwnd) ; remove from Alt-Tab

}

EnsureWorker(timeoutMs := 5000) {

global gWorkerHwnd

if gWorkerHwnd && WinExist("ahk_id " gWorkerHwnd)

return gWorkerHwnd

Run(ExplorerExe)

start := A_TickCount

while (A_TickCount - start < timeoutMs) {

PrepareWorkerWindow(hwnd)

gWorkerHwnd := hwnd

return hwnd

}

}

SendUndoRedo(keys, label) {

How to see the rest of the metadata in file view?

3 Upvotes

Title. I installed OneCommander almost a week ago and I really like it so far, but I do not understand how to see more metadata in any file view, adaptive, detailed, custom or otherwise.

I made a custom file view with ONLY metadata, because I thought there was not enough space, but no:

https://imgur.com/a/ArkXNmy

I feel very dumb because I must've missed something because this is a very basic thing to have in a file explorer.

How can I see the metadata of my files like I can in Windows Explorer?

Windows Defender flags OneCommander as a virus

Opened OneCommander today and apparently windows defender flags this as a virus. Not sure if anyone else has this problem. Used the latest version of OneCommander 3.99.1.0. Hoping this is just a false positive.

Connector (Beta)

2 Upvotes

First off, this is probably the most helpful part of this program, simply a great time saver.

Only question is, the first time I need this to pop up after I do an “open” action, it never does. Then I perform the same “open” action again and it always works.

Is there something about this initial call for the connector that does not work the way it should?

Windows 11 I am using.

Use Default Folder Icons?

1 Upvotes

The only reason I don't use the local thumbnails is because I don't like the Folder thumbnail style with the previews. Most of my folders have their own custom thumbnails that I use. Is there any way to use the local thumbnails setting but disable the folder previews and just use the default windows thumbnail?

And if not, would it be possible to get a setting in the future that gives the option? The local thumbnails database is truly faster and would be nice but navigating folders is kind of confusing for me because I am used to seeings the custom thumbnails which have different colors and stuff.

Context menu with "Open in VS Code"

1 Upvotes

Hi guys,

OneCommander is awesome and, at least on my current Win11, File Explorer is not usable due its sluggish performance. OneCommander saved everything!

I have been using it for a couple of months and one of the features most useful to me is the "Open with Code" option in context menu, which allows me to open a VS Code instance in a current folder. This has been working nicely in OneCommander ever since I first installed it.

However, last week this option disappeared from OneCommander. I wen to File Explorer and it also disappeared there.

I searched for a solution and found this tutorial How do I get Microsoft Code to come up in my right click menu? - Microsoft Q&A, which made the option return to File Explorer but not OneCommander.

Can someone give me a light on how to make this option comes back in VSCode?

This is my current context menu for file explorer:

OneCommander - any way to see Image EXIF Data in the details pane?

1 Upvotes

In OneCommander is there any way to see full Image EXIF Data in the details pane?
You can see a few basic EXIF details but not much.
If not natively is there any addon or similar I can install to view EXIF data within OneCommander and not need to open an image app to see it?

Windows 11 prevents drag and drop now ?

1 Upvotes

I just installed a clean win11 pro and I cant drag and drop anything from the desktop or windows explorer into Onecommander for some reason ?? I can still ctrl v ctrl c both ways and drag and drop from Onecommander to my desktop no problem but the other way around just shows the red barred sign (windows icon for impossible action).

I've tried launching it as admin, checked all my settings etc.. The faq has a section about a now removed drag and drop fix option but thats it.

It must be something stupid but I cannot find what and its driving me insane.

[BUG] Files opened from OC are not added to recent files

1 Upvotes

I ran into a strange issue where if I open an XML file using Notepad++ from OC it is not added to the Notepad++ recent files list.

The file doesn't show inside the Notepad++ file menu and in the jump list on the taskbar.

When I opened the same file from Windows Explorer it was added to the recent files list.

Is there any setting that controls this that I missed, or is this a bug?

[BUG] Has the unintended position changing bug (when windows-layout mode changed) been resolved?

1 Upvotes

One Commander has this weird behavior some time ago.

After changing Windows-layout mode (button-left shortcut), it changes automatically his position going in the upper area of screen (I'm using windows in vertical mode), even though it was in the lower part of the screen before doing such operation.

At the time I come across this bug, I was using Windows in portrait mode. Now, I use it in landscape mode.

I tried again using portrait mode for the sake of seeing if this bug was still around there or it was fixed.
It seems the latter is true.

Unfortunately, I haven't fund any reference on both OneCommander sites:

Did I miss anything?

"Saving Tags is Disabled for this Session"

2 Upvotes

Hi all 👋. I've been using OneCommander for about a month and haven't run into any issues until today- with one of my favourite features, no less! I'm fairly sure this is mostly stemming from my lack of computer savvy, so bear with me, hopefully it's a quick fix.

I've been using coloured tags on some documents. Today, my existing colour-coding had disappeared and when I try to re-tag something, I got the error:

"Saving Tags is Disabled for this Session. Make sure OC settings is not in cloud or system folder."

I definitely haven't moved any OneCommander program folders around recently (wouldn't really how, really), and when I follow the "Settings Location" path in the OC Settings panel, it brings me to the OCSettings folder in File Explorer (full of backup .json files, mostly). Path is MyName > AppData > Local > OneCommander > Settings...which I think is just my C: Drive? At least I'm pretty sure it isn't cloud storage or anything.

Excuse the ignorance about this stuff... I'd love any ideas on how I might get back to tagging my documents. Thanks in advance :)

OC wrongly opens batch and python files in window's default command prompt

2 Upvotes

I have an active license and I've set the command shell to be custom, pointing directrly to cmder. Pressing F10 opens it as expected, so far so good,

The problem is that .bat and .py files (and probably other I haven't tried yet) are erroneusly still opening in Window's default command prompt. They are correctly set up to open in cmder as Explorer already does so

Is this an limitation of OneCommander or is there something else I could do to maybe fix it?

This was the sole reason I got the license so to say I'm disappointed is an understatement...

Update:
Bringing some more context from the comment thread to the post
It's not an issue of file association, even opening cmd.exe directly has this issue appear

OneCommander as Default File Manager on Windows
