How do I need to set up the registry Plugin to be able to properly modify e.g. a MULTI_SZ value? Is it possible at all to have an external Registry Editor to open up to the key? At the moment I get a temporary file, which I can modify. However, since this file is in a binary format, containing unico...

I don't think it is a good idea to have an application such as a file manager modify the behaviour of foreign programs. Salamander could do such a thing, if it uses an inplace viewer (e.g. an ActivX-control within a viewer window which belongs to Salamander (as for instance the Internet Explorer Vie...

Have you ever noticed that there are some areas where Servant Salamander cannot currently replace Explorer? Salamander handles things on a file system level, dealing with directories. Explorer on the other hand, deals with folders. Most of these are directories, some are linked to a directory (i.e. ...

My proposal is - SS should ask the user if he wants to search from the beginning - this should solve your problem - it is just about hitting Esc (no) vers. Enter (yes). This seems to be an acceptable solution. It adds functionality without addin overhead to the UI and 5s easy to comprehend. On the ...

Why do you think there is no Restore button? The maximized window should have it... You are right, after the window is maximized, there most likely will be a Restore button. I did not consider this because (bold font is my modification): What happens if you click the Restore button (windows caption...

What happens if you click the Restore button (windows caption) in this state? As you can see, there is no Restore button, only a Maximise button Usually this (as in the posted window image) happens if windows size settings are smaller than that minimum window size. This in turn frequently happens w...

Hello, CheckVersion giv me this URL http://www.altap.cz/salam_en/newver.html the newest Version is ss25rc1.exe, but it have only 26K, not 2M1! If i try to start installallation, i get a message like "~File isn't complete" This URL points to a web page, not a file to be installed. What did...

What about
1.) F2
2.) CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT
3.) SHIFT+LEFT (that means to only release the CTRL-Button)
4.) write the new name + ENTER

You may leave out step 3 and add the dot again before pressing enter.

Spaces and the like in extensions are very rare.

Till it's added you can create a link to your program, tweak it and then add this link to your user menu.

The advanced variable $(ListOfSelectedNames) should be accompanied by $(ListOfSelectedFullNames) which provides full path names for each file in the list. Some programs act differently depending on whether they get a fully qualified file name, or just the name allone, e.g. it might search for any fi...

Any options defined for a program in the user menu bar are ignored when a file is dropped on it. I'd expect Salamander to replace the specified variables with the values taken from the dropped file, at least as long as a single file or directory is dropped. If no selection specific variables are spe...

2SvA Clicking an item makes it the "active" one. If you watch carefully, when you have clicked a single file to make it "active", then choose a file function for that file (such as Copy), Salamander quickly "self-selects" the file for you, converting it from "acti...

Thank you for this hint. It will be a time saver for me.

When is a click not a select in Salamander? Only when subsequently using the CTRL key. Huh? No! A simple click is never a select in Salamander. Salamander, unlike Windows Explorer distinguishes between the active (of focused) item and selected items. In the standard color scheme, selected items are...

I can live with that, but the fact that F4 was for the focused file, not all the selected ones, always seemed counter-intuitive for me: if I select 10 files and press F5, F6, F8, the action is on all files. But if I press F4, it edits only 1 file, and F3 views only 1 file. Not consistent, in my vie...
