Not that it really matters, but ... File Copy Operation Timings May Not Be Terribly Accurate? Or they could be affected by other instances of Copy operations/system operations? I think what I did was started a copy from one instance of SS. Opened another instance of SS & started a second copy. E...

Wait until all other Copy/Move operations are finished - when running multiple instances of SS.


When running multiple instances of SS, one instance of SS does not see the others Copy/Move operations, so no Wait option is afforded.

Perhaps it could?
A little interprocess communications?

Bug Clicking on MP3 when WMP Has Not Been Initialized I threw together a hodge podge of a system. (Hodge podge. Installed XP on one computer. Messed around for a bit. Pulled HD. Installed it into a different computer, different architecture. Appears to be running Ok.) I threw SS on it. I clicked on ...

I hear what you're saying.
I took a deep breath, & I'll have to contemplate it .

File Comparator (Ctrl+Shift+C) - Easier Copy Selected Lines Method Copying lines feels quirky at best. An easier method of coping would be helpful. Perhaps left or right clicking the line number(s). Perhaps either user selected, and or difference selected lines. Also perhaps the ability to only copy...

File Comparator (Ctrl+Shift+C) - Function Key Shortcuts


Alt+Up, Alt+Down is kind of a stretch/two-handed operation.

Other shortcut keys would be appreciated. Be it F3/Shift+F3 (like Find), or F3/F4, or F7/F8, or whatever.

File Comparator (Ctrl+Shift+C) - Beep on First/Last Difference

When traversing a file, upon reaching the First or the Last Difference, a beep tone would be helpful.

Might just save on needlessly trying to jump to the next (non-existent) difference.

File Comparator (Ctrl+Shift+U) - Swap Panels


File Comparator should be able to Swap Panels the same way that can be done in Salamander (Ctrl+U).

File Comparator (Ctrl+Shift+C) - Un-highlight Files After Initiation After the Compare Files dialog opens, highlighted files should be un-highlighted? Or should they? Initially I was thinking that if they were left highlighted, after you had finished with the FC operation, when you returned to the S...

Sorry, I don't buy it. Try Windows Explorer, it behaves the same way. Just cause Windows does it, does not mean you should. IMO, the behavior is wrong. If I have a set of files highlighted, so long as my mouse cursor position remains on one of those files, I can right-click & do as I please, &am...

Thanks. I've got it now.

I was looking in AS | Options ...
rather then first opening a text file in the Internal Viewer,
& then in the Internal Viewers menu items (not in AS menu items),
I then found the View | Auto-Select.

I missed that distinction - many times .

www.Rarlabs.com offered WinRAR 3.5.1 for free as a promotion some time ago. All the (promotional) keys were the same, & are only valid for the 3.5.1 version of the program. Now technically, the promotion is over & has been for a long time now. Guess you could email them & ask if they'd s...

File Comparator (Ctrl+Shift+C) - Horizontal View

Currently, FC shows as a side-by-side (Vertical) view.

Suggest ability to toggle view so that it can also be viewed one-above-another (Horizontal) view.

See, DELTA is a file and directory comparison tool.

File | Directory Input Dialog Boxes Should Support Drag & Drop Any place that you might be required to input a directory/file name, should accept drag & drop. Change Directory (Shift+F7), Compare Files (Ctrl+Shift+C), ... Take a look at WinDiff UI (aka RunWinDiff) or DragDropUpload. A better...

The only "advantage" that I can see, is that it gives you the ability to get to Options | Configuration... .
In there, there are some options not accessible from the Ctrl+Shift+C dialog.

In other words, there is no real advantage to it working the way it is.
