build 1677 - miscellaneous improvements

Post by mike » Tue Jul 19, 2016 1:44 pm

Hi folks,

Another preview build of version 1.1.3:
http://magnumbytes.com/downloads/previe ... (1677).zip

Changes and what's new, here's a few:
  • New option to overwrite older files during copy/move operation (finally!).
  • New hotkey: Shift+Cmd+P - toggle single-/dual- pane mode.
  • Addition: moving panels with Ctrl+Alt+Arrows can now collapse/expand them.
  • New: deleting a file with process information in PSFS (Processes List) will kill that process.
    - initially, NC will gently ask process to quit with SIGTERM(15) and wait up to 5 seconds;
    - later, if process has ignored that signal, NC will send SIGKILL(9) to terminate it.
    - if Admin Mode on OFF (default behavior), NC will send signals on behalf of current user.
    - if Admin Mode is ON (be careful!), NC will send signals via root process, so any system task (or any process started by other users) can be killed.
    - this feature will not work in MAS versions, since signals sending is prohibited in OS X sandbox.
  • Changes: drag&drop inside NC will now account if source and target filesystems are the same, and will choose between moving and copying based on that information. Of course, keyboard modifiers (Ctrl for linking, Alt for copying, Cmd for moving) are considered too.
  • New hotkeys: F9 to compress items in target panel, Shift+F9 to compress items in current panel.
  • Fixed some visual and stability bugs
Mike.

Looks great, thanks for the update!

Who would want that? :) Anyway, I noticed a small bug in this feature. In one-panel-mode, change folder of the right panel is still available and makes the cursor disappear until you go back to two-panel-mode.

Otherwise, this looks like a solid build!

Ha, thanks for noting that issue!
It was an old one in fact, not even related with recent changes.
