[FEATURE]

[BabakAmini]

I am submitting a consolidated list of feature enhancement requests discovered while using One Commander V4.

1. Windows alternative calendar support - Add a setting to explicitly select from alternative regional calendars installed in Windows (e.g., Persian, Hijri, Hebrew) for file timestamp displays.

2. Visual line separators in Favorite Groups - Implement horizontal separator lines inside favorite groups. This will allow users to merge multiple favorite collections into a single organized list.

3. Expanded tab context menu actions - Replace the Reopen closed tab option with a Reopen recent tab history submenu.

4. Setting toggle for Ctrl + Tab switching behavior (Sequential vs. MRU) - Add an option in the application settings that allows users to choose how Ctrl + Tab switches between tabs. Available Options are:

   1. Sequential (Default): Cycles through the tabs in their visual left-to-right list order.
   2. MRU (Most Recently Used): Cycles through tabs based on their historical usage order (Z-order history), matching the default behavior of VS Code and web browsers.

5. Opening an archive file in One Commander asks for opening or extracting the file which is perfect. However, when multiple archive files are selected and opened via the right-click menu, they all open simultaneously instead of presenting batch processing options. One Commander would benefit from a robust handling workflow similar to Windows File Explorer's right-click-and-drag extraction menu, or a dynamic contextual toolbar icon.

   

   Proposed Solution / Enhancement:

   1. Right-click-and-drag Support: Allow users to select multiple archives, drag them using the right-mouse button, and receive a dedicated menu with varied extraction choices (e.g., Extract each to separate folders, Extract here, etc). Regardless of the file type, include all standard file operations currently triggered by Alt-dragging in One Commander directly inside this right-click context menu.
   2. Contextual Toolbar Button: Implement a dynamic toolbar icon that automatically activates whenever one or more archive files are highlighted, offering comprehensive batch extraction workflows.

6. Enhanced log window and add more details:

   1. Add full calendar dates alongside log timestamps.
   2. Allow users to click directly on a log line to instantly copy its text message to the clipboard.
   3. Include the name of the execution program/source that launched the operation.

7. Settings window font scaling - The font size in the Settings UI is currently too small. Please add an option to adjust it manually, or make it automatically match the primary application font size scale.

8. Integrated WSL drives panel - Automatically detect active WSL distributions and list them as dedicated, quick-access icons within the main Drives panel.

1. Not familiar with those. What exactly should happen
2. Theme controlled, user can edit themes. But that drag won't be implemented - too much work
3. Not sure what is the goal - tabs are saved per window so user can organize tabs per named window
4. MRU is not used in browsers; likely not popular
5. 7zip has extensions for multiple extractions; maybe native OC options will be added; right-mouse drag is currently not planned as it is triggered often when user just wants context menu
6. Some notification window improvements are planned, but more is added in TrayIcon>OpenLog
7. That happens on creation of favorites; maybe will be relisted on new thread at some point

1. Not familiar with those. What exactly should happen

Many users rely on non-Gregorian calendars. Since Windows natively supports these regional formats, it would be great if OC could display dates using them as well.

2. Theme controlled, user can edit themes. But that drag won't be implemented - too much work

To clarify, I'm suggesting an option to add custom separator lines within a favorite group (similar to the dividers seen in standard right-click menus). This would allow users to visually organize and merge multiple separate groups into a single list, saving panel space compared to the current layout where groups are entirely separated.

3. Not sure what is the goal - tabs are saved per window so user can organize tabs per named window

Currently, the tab context menu features a static "Reopen closed tab" item. I request changing this to a "Reopen recent tab" submenu that displays a list of recently closed tabs, with the most recently closed tab naturally positioned at the top of the list.

4. MRU is not used in browsers; likely not popular

Since MRU tab switching is highly popular among developers, adding a settings option to choose between sequential and MRU behavior would be incredibly useful.

7. Settings window font scaling - The font size in the Settings UI is currently too small. Please add an option to adjust it manually, or make it automatically match the primary application font size scale.

I think this specific point might have been overlooked in my original post.

1. I'll check on this
2. You can adjust theme to remove spacing, but OC uses grouping so this would be too much work to support that too
3. Will consider it in the future
4. Will consider it in the future
5. Font scale is capped in settings because it messes up layout too much. It is capped to 16. Use global Windows Display Scale it you need UI text larger than 16pt
