I have a USB stick attached to my router.
when copying big files to the USB stick from my hard disk JM cannot be used anymore.

an hourglass is shown and JM cannot be used anymore (clicks are not accepted, navigation does not work)
2026-04-22-19h46-04.png
after copy has finished JM can be used again normally.

having a toggle state for Quick Viewer (on/off) makes also sense when adding it to the toolbar:

#5 Re: Bugs and Problems » duplicate main menu » 2026-04-12 10:15:24

got it! I didn't notice this features in other FM so far.
Assuming the toolbar is not customizable, displaying both at the same time makes no sense (to me).
So a radio button or a drop down menu could be an option. *shrug
But again, as there are other more important things to improve, I'm good with keeping it as it is.

#6 Re: Suggestions » Toolbar Button: toggle hidden/system files/folders visibility » 2026-04-12 09:43:41

thanks, I didn't think of that.

I. I only see one command "Show hidden files" using Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.26200.6584]

II. After adding and executing the command the ".." is removed

-> this is not expected!


III. Add pressed state: after pressing the button the icon should represent that as pressed state

#8 Re: Bugs and Problems » Quick View hangs » 2026-04-10 20:47:24

OK, the preview is broken, JM hangs also with a 150MB .mp4 file when previeing.

#9 Re: Bugs and Problems » Quick View hangs » 2026-04-10 20:29:18

There is another issue with Quick viewer. After changing the max file size to eg. 1024 KB, then pressing Apply, once returning to the Setting window the max file size shows 1 KB.

Greetings,

Please add a toolbar button to toggle the visibility of hidden/system files, like in FreeCommander:

2026-04-10-20h49-00.png

ATM hidden files like eg. desktop.ini and System Volume Information Folder are shown which is OK, but I also want an option to hide them.

Cheers

Hi,

i noticed the menu is duplicated.
As this makes no sense, I assume a bug:

I use the latest unofficial pre a55:

- when copy and paste from vmware via CTRL+C then CTRL+V
instead of copying a file from vmware to JU a empty folder with the same name is created
(copy and paste via context menu not via shortcuts CTRL+C/V works as expected)

- after connecting my smart phone via usb, then CTRL+C then CTRL+V to copy via MTP
some pictures to JU, no copy file dialog is displayed. after some time the files appear in JU all of the sudden.
I checked with a process monitor tool that JU is working but the dialog is missing.
Also it takes very long to copy, average copy speed is ~500kB/s.

BTW, when do you expect MTP support?

#16 Re: Bugs and Problems » a53 bug, happens quite often » 2014-08-31 22:18:28

can't provide. happens since last 2 or 3 versions. also notice there is a slight offset, sometimes (it appears as) the font size seems to be different.

Developers cut bookmarks from browser and now Opera has lost its popularity.

again, this is not true. the browser wars started already a long time ago when microsoft killed netscape by bundling free IE with windows.
today chrome, FF, IE & safari dominate, although opera has some nice features like compression, i think opera already lost the battle, after laying off devs, switching technology and missing innovation in the recent past. in times of browser based OSes, games engines (unity, unreal) running natively without plugins, the browser market seems to be very important. those who cannot keep up the innovation pace, or don't generate enough revenues (FF sells its search engine too Google as you might know) or belong to big international enterprises, will be extincted.

I don't say FTP should not be included in a FM, but development should concentrate on more important still missing fundamental features as mentioned already in another post. as said, there are very good free FTP clients, there is no reason to waste time on such things. see FC, with its half-baked, buggy, useless FTP client...

It is better to have 10 functions in 1 program than in 10 different programs.

this is certainly not true. like this you would end up in bloatware pretty soon.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bloat#Bloatware

nero burning rome is a bloatware prime example.

Better use the Unix philosophy to keep programs small & fast:
"Unix philosophy: "Write programs that do one thing and do it well", break a single, complicated software into numerous simpler components which can be chained together using pipes, shell scripts or another form of interapplication communication."

I got an error when deleting a shared folder <<<ERROR>>> CUtils::DeleteDirectory failed, error: Access is denied.
Deletion was possible with Windows Explorer see here .

maybe! this was caused by an user I had shared with but then I deleted the user?

here my 2 cents on where development should go and what should be avoided.

there are already very good free ftp clients tools like FileZilla or WinSCP.
Don't waste too much (any more) time on implementing FTP functions, you'll likely never ever catch up with these applications.
Anyone asking for sophisticated FTP functions, vas-y and use those programs instead of asking for more in JM because
dev time is needed for important stuff like a more flexible toolbar (ribbon bar?), a revamped quickfilter/-search, revamped
file/folder focus, revamped quickview, etc.

also don't waste time on improving the ultra sluggish search in JM.
rather implement ways to interact and use existing solutions (eg. everything )
see how this is done in other FM here.
this could apply also to other tools like file/folder comparison tools (FreeFileSync) and copy file handlers (nicecopier) .

I think you get my point. In my opinion, after implementing missing rudimentary functions like flat view smile, toggle between one/two panels via shortcut, display average speed when copying, etc.
you could dedicate more time on increasing JM flexibility (scripting smile ) as well as interaction and teamwork with existing solutions.

#22 Suggestions » macro suggestions: %LEFTPANEL%; %RIGHTPANEL%; %RANDOM% » 2014-02-11 02:45:05

Replies: 1

1. when copying some large file over the network, I'd like to use robocopy in order to assure the correct transfer of files when the network gets disconnected at 99% after copying let's say a few GB. I managed to find a "static" solution but I'm looking for a more flexible way via a macro. The %PATH% works but I need a SOURCE and DESTINATION (active left and right panel). This could be a macro I am missing something like %LEFTPANEL% and %RIGHTPANEL% or %PANEL1% and %PANEL2% if you like.

2. sometimes I'm missing a %RANDOM% macro which would allow me to select a random file (eg. music or movie)

3. another FM allow automation via scripting, will this come any day?

edit: here is how it's done in other FM:

#23 Suggestions » open dos command in network path error: UNC path not supported » 2014-02-11 00:11:41

Replies: 1

again some sort of limitation, instead of opening the dos command prompt at the network path, c:\windows is displayed.
same misbehavior in FC XE, dopus does as expected though.  mad

update:
ok, I did some tests. you should use pushd instead of cd:

cmd /K "pushd \\server\volume\directory"

that should work I guess.
