NC build 2009 is still acting a bit odd with two (or more) windows open. Sometimes I cannot focus the second window. It stops receiving mouse and keyboard input. Then it crashes eventually (attaching crash report). At some point I was able to reproduce the crash at each attempt just by opening a new window (Cmd+N) and pressing Tab to switch to the second pane. The problem goes away with the ~/Library/Application Support/Nimble Commander folder removed, but comes back eventually.
I've fixed the crashing code itself, but wasn't able to find the cause which made an invalid state at the first place.
Speaking of ~/Library..., I assume only ../State/ directory matters, it contains different volatile settings, like default window state etc.
If this crash happens again, could you send me ../State/State.json?
There're shouldn't be anything secret there, apart from paths and recent searches.

No problem, I will send this over email now with steps to reproduce the crash.

With 2009 there are a lot less of them. And what is interesting, it is always either 20th or 21st entry in the list.
Shorter lists - no issues.
But if one is longer than 30 items , a few items starting 20th or 21st will be discolored.
Don, I can't reproduce it, no matter how I try :(
Is there any minimal setup, better to be synthetical, on which this malfunctioning happens all the time?
Easy.

Attaching the font file. Classic theme, change the "List mode" font to InputMonoEMCondensed-Regular, 15.
Restart NC and got to /Applications folder.

Works (gets discolored) for me every time.

Wow, that's a cool font! Reminded me good old FAR straightaway.
Coloring works fine although :(

One more question, if you wouldn't mind.
By any change, do you have a "show hidden files" option turned off?
Or, does this discoloring ever happens when there are no hidden item in directory?

PS
BTW, about glyphs "compression" on text rendering - I believe it can be controlled, if that's an issue.

Yeah, Input Mono is really sweet. You can even configure it yourself before download… preview here: http://input.fontbureau.com/preview/

Yes, I usually run with this option off. When I need to see the hidden files I just enable them with a keyboard shortcut.
I am not observing any correlation between the presence of the hidden files and discolouring.
Removed all hidden files from a folder to test - restarted the app and discoloring was back for this folder.

And I run wide view mode.

What I have noticed, experimenting, is :

* Short and Medium view modes do not use the List Font - still use default.
* If I flip to these modes, and then back to wide (or full, which does use the same font as wide) - the discoloring never appears for any of the folders.

Maybe I haven't found it, but is there a way to set a default layout for new tabs?

Currently (Build 2009), Cmd+T opens a new tab with a layout that doesn't seem to be part of the built-in layouts. I suggest either to create a setting for the default layout or use the current layout default for a new tab.

Hi,
I have just found a bug, I do not know if it was present in previous versions.
It happened today when attempting to copying a file > 4GB to a FAT32 formatted flash drive.
I was not aware that the movie file as >4GB in advance and NC happily started copying it, with the progress bar going slowly all the way to the end.
And there it remained stuck, no more progress, no further actions, no error message.
NC still worked fine and allowed me to quit the app.
Regards,
moonrak

Hi,

Briefly, great progress. I really like changes.
Anyway I think I found bug "Invert selection and move next" is working "partly". I mean it invert selection but doesn't move to the next item.
