Update 2.4.0

This version contains some workflow-breaking changes as a result of your feedback.

  • Drive or a Favorite will open path in last used panel (and not in the Left Panel as default), so hover-buttons to open in Right Panel are obsolete now.
  • History Panel is off by default. It can be enabled in Settings.
  • Default Dark theme is modified. If you prefer the old Dark theme you can choose Dark Green theme in Settings.

other changes are as follows

  • New logo and program icon One Commander new Logo (Made to look like Opened Folder + 1, and to fit with new Office icons without being too similar)
  • Uses Active panel for all actions (instead of using left as primary) – This was one of the most asked changes. Left click on drive/favorite used to always open in left panel (primary), while Ctrl+click would open in right panel (secondary/helper). After this update, if the right panel was used last, clicking a drive/favorite will open it in that panel without needing to use Ctrl.
  • Video preview for more file types: mkv, m4v, 3gp…
  • Audio Preview (also Spacebar): wav, mp3, aiff, m4a…
  • Added Seek-Bar, Play and Pause buttons Video and audio Previews
  • Metadata for more video and audio file formats
  • Resizing Drives/Favorites panel by grabbing anywhere on the edge. There was a discoverability problem. Many users did not know they could resize that panel with the resizer in the bottom of the panel. It was originally whole height but was shrunk because some users would accidentally remove favorite as X button is on the edge. Now button becomes active after 300 ms to prevent that, resizing edge is thinner and button is a bit further
  • Button for removing Favorite path (appears on path hover) has different icon and has red color, to distinguish it from + button above it. There was discoverability issue. Does not react on RMB anymore.
  • Buttons when hovering Favorite path (Edit, Remove) become active after 300ms to prevent accidental activation (User clicking on Favorite at the left edge where buttons appear). Button “Open in Right panel” has been removed.
  • Rename Favorite popup now shown next to mouse cursor
  • Fixed Favorite path breaking into new line on hover when starting with \\
  • New Help window with organized sections and few more help items. It does not block main Window anymore
  • Help window saving position and size
  • Google Group link instead of Forum in About window. Forum has been removed due to hosting issue and too much spam
  • Directory count is now shown by default
  • Directory size may still be broken on non-english Windows. If ON and now working in your language, please to to Help>F.A.Q.>Folder sizes issue, and follow instructions how to submit feedback
  • Open folder in file list with a single click. Hovering directory size region (with > on the right of the date) shows a button to open that directory with a single click (This was existing functionality but there was a discoverability issues)
  • Added .bat file in New File template list
  • Labels for sorting buttons when mouse is above the file browsing panel. Some uses were confused which arrow was for which method of sorting, and even though I have tried to avoid using labels where possible, this one seems necessary
  • Change Key Color from Settings (Pro version only). Add by hex value or from a droplist with default WPF colors
  • When Drive or Favorite is focused (pressing Tab and arrow keys to navigate between panels), user can press Enter or Right key to open it
  • New Dark Theme with wider spacing between elements
  • History panel is hidden by default
  • Change: Hidden files are not listed by default anymore
  • Hides {…}.tmp files from OneDrive made by Office 365 by default
  • Bugfix: Hidden folders in Columns now not listed
  • Small UI element alignments and improvements
  • New icons: Edit (when hovering Favorite path), Locate File/Folder (in Search and Taskmaster)

Program is submitted to certification on Microsoft Store. It should roll out to everyone by 18.10.2018
