02 Software Features

1. Integrated bottom button panel with various commonly used functions: The first row includes functions such as refresh, view, edit, copy, move, delete, etc., with shortcut keys displayed directly on these buttons. The second row shows all drive letters on the computer, including partitions under Linux, although they cannot be accessed. Clicking the notepad button allows for quick access to Notepad. The third row can hide certain types of files for quick access to needed items. The fourth row focuses on quick selection buttons, allowing for one-click selection of all MP3s, images, etc.

2. Quick file filtering feature: In the lower right corner of each panel, there is an input box that defaults to “*.*”, meaning all files. If changed to “*.jpg”, all other files except JPGs will be hidden.

3. Dual management mode with tabs and dual panels: While dual panels improve efficiency, they occupy more space. This is why software No1 prefers resource managers with tabs. Multi Commander combines both, promising new usage methods and better results.

4. Independent panels: Each panel has its own directory tree and up button, found in the upper right corner of the panel.

5. Integrated FTP functionality: Comes with a text editor and allows quick access to the registry editor. The built-in text editor supports various text encodings. Select text and click the view button to bring up the editor, but it defaults to binary encoding, which may result in garbled text. You need to change this in the view menu.

6. Supports various compressed file formats: Including zip, 7-zip, rar, tar, gz, bz2, jar, etc.

7. View and modify folder permissions.

Mouse functions (supporting NC multi-selection mode, double-clicking the right mouse button to bring up the system menu, left-clicking twice slowly to rename files or folders without pressing Enter to confirm, and allowing configuration of functions for left, right, middle mouse buttons, and two additional side buttons for single-click, double-click, slow double-click, and long press).

Button panel functions (similar to TC’s toolbar) allow adding corresponding external program buttons or built-in function buttons to the panel for specific functions, supporting switching between three panels with left, middle, and right mouse buttons. A total of 96 external programs or MC built-in functions can be added across the three panels.) In the “Configuration” menu, select “Button Editor” to configure the button panel.

Real-time file filtering feature: In the lower right corner of each panel, there is an input box that defaults to “*.*”, meaning all files. If changed to “*.jpg”, all other files except JPGs will be hidden. (Compared to TC’s plugin Quick Extremes Search, this filtering feature is slightly less effective, lacking Pinyin initial letter filtering, but supports partial string filtering, hiding files containing specific strings, and folder filtering based on time).

“- string” indicates not to display files and folders containing the specified string, e.g., “-*.dll” means not to display all DLL files;

“/ folder name” indicates to display only folders with the specified name, e.g., “/sjb” displays only the folder sjb.

“! time” indicates to display only files and folders from the specified time onward, e.g., “!today” means to display only files and folders from today onward.

“character 1 space character 2” indicates to display all files and folders containing either character 1 or character 2. For example, “*.jpg *.png” displays all JPG and PNG images.
