JM already has Panels Layout command.
I know via Settings which is pretty tedious. What's missing is a command to change to one panel view via shortcut or by icon.
you might consider to add an command to show only the active panel.
ATM one has to change this in the panels layout settings by clicking at least 4 times.
with the implementation of such command one could assign a shortcut.
my suggestion for the system predefined shortcut is " F10 " as this key is free and used already by some FM for this task.
further benefits:
- simple change from multi panel to single panel via mouse click or shortcut
- users could add an button in main tool bar
- adds a win explorer like layout, many users are used to
- quick jumping to one panel layout is often useful especially when working with many files
- standard functionality already implemented in various FM e.g xy
useful when JM is minimized. (win explorer works like that).
yes, you are right, now I see both are correct, might be confusing though.
Fixed in 0.1 Alpha 42.
unfortunately not. JM a42 crashes:

after doing a search I often "go to" the file to have it loaded in a panel for further investigations.
I'm used to press the space bar after selecting a file to achieve that goal, maybe it's a good idea to implement a shorcut option for that function in JM as well?
for comparison I'd like to open two files in winmerge at once, therefore I've created a custom button.
opening one single file with %FULL% OR %ALL% parameter works fine but when I try to open two selected files I get
different results depending of the program I'm trying to open the file in.
when opening both selected files in winmerge via %ALL%, winmerge opens one file only,
other applications display an error message or don't open any file at all.
according to the help file all selected files should be passed. is this an issue? how is %ALL% meant to work?
the issue is most likely caused by a corrupt settings file, I dunno yet how and when it corrupts,
a reason why I think so is because I never intentionally would delete the short cut CTRL+A for selecting all.
as this is the standard short cut in windows I don't see why anyone would ever change this,
therefore in most applications CTRL+A,C,V is hard coded.
as I cannot longer reproduce this issue, I suggest close this.
some examples where flat view comes handy:
- show letters only task: activate flat view, then filter for files & extensions including all sub folders (e.g. show only *.doc files)
- find latest file change: activate flat view, change to detail view, now sort for creation date to see which file was created recently
- sort files by size / find duplicate files task: activate flat view, change to detail view, now sort for file size to figure out which file is the biggest, same sized files could be duplicates
- clean up download folder task: the download folder contains a huge amount of files in many sub folders, now activate flat view then filter for certain files e.g. *.pdf, CTRL+A to select all pdf files, drag & drop to previously created favorite "manuals & howtos" folder in navigation panel.
- cleanup nested zip file task: you receive a zip file created with the option to preserve file structure, after unzipping a zip file several sub folders containing files are created, the file structure is not longer needed, therefore activate flat view, CTRL+A, CTRL+X, CTRL+C to paste all files into one single folder, zip it again and send it to your friend.
as you see the possibilities are endless...
a feature most mature FM have: show all files at the same level in a flat view without folders and sub folders

implement the ability to open the button customization dialog via double click, like already implemented
in "Folder favorites customization" where double click has the same effect as pressing the edit button.
I think you should definitely fix this bug tough I'm not sure about possible performance issues.
navigat0r, most likely that the problem is caused by some settings, so I need Settings.xml.
congrats! you are most likely right with your assumption.
I've mailed you a broken settings file, I dunno what broke it, hopefully you'll find out.
I guess this not exactly the setting file used the video but after import you will notice that some things e.g. selection via CTRL+A do not work.
Can you reproduce problem on clean portable JM setup?
ATM I cannot longer reproduce the issue at home, so you may close this problem report for now.
I will post again whenever I figured out the steps to reproduce it on any machine.
Why "Program Files" is on D then??
I install all important applications like firewall and antivirus on c:\program files then I take an image of it.
all unimportant applications are installed later in D:\program files and D:\Program Files (x86) for the 32 bit stuff
as I'm not interested in restoring those program installation normally.
"C:\program files" is a special folder with certain restrictions in Windows, especially when UAC is turned on,
I guess these restrictions apply to "D:\program files" as well, maybe the issue is caused by that.
(I did a test where I've created and attached an .vhd as D: hard disk but the issue was not reproducible then,
so in order to reproduce, attach a real second hard drive, create a folder "D:\program files" and you should be able to reproduce it)
the problem is reproducible on my machine (with two hard drives). as you can see from the video OS sits on C: on a SSD drive, D: is another sata hard disk.
