Hello,

First of all thanks for good software :) :lol:

Now trying to change my TC to FC and mostly succesfully. But unfortunaly don`t have some features, that make me mad.

1. I`m very concentrated on minimizing interface as much as possible. So Drive bar, that is taking 1 cm line through all FC interface and can`t be disabled is very pitty. I`m changing drive only with Alt+F1 (Alt+F2) and want to have ability to disable drive bar at all.

2. Command line is needed 5 percent of time (but needed hardly). Way of handling it in TC is perfect. I have it hidden all time and when I begin to enter text in TC (and want to do it in FC) main window, command line appears automatically. Would be very cool if FC would have such command line.

+ some small improvements
a) if name and extension column is shown don`t show extension in name column and don`t show dot in extension column
b) add rows in file panels for better looking (with slightly different colors)
c) mabe i didn`t explore deep enougth but didn`t find possibility to select files wih Insert key
d) total commander with disabled splash screen is starting much faster (0.5 sec comparing to FC 3 sec on my core2duo vaio). start time is very significant to application that you starts 20 times a day.
e) not enough archive formats is supported now (iso, tar, gz and full support of 7zip and rar are critical)

everyting else is perfect and in some places even better that TC.

Wish you luck in this project and would very happy to use FC on my desktop when all this features will be implementet. But now is staying on TC 8) .

1. This will be possible in the next version, more here.

a) it's a known issue, search the forum for more
c) it is possible by default, go to menu > extras > keyboard shortcuts and check it, change if needed
e) it's a known issue, but rar should eb supported AFAIK
