Far3 Stable: Seletion gets lost

Dear all,

after updating to "Far Manager v3.0 build 3132 x86 (2013-01-30)" I experience a very strange effect: Whenever I have selected multiple files and then click on a file to "Run" it, the selection is lost. Sometimes "some" (not all!) files remain selected, but usually all selection is gone. I tried Far /co - same thing there. Its seems related to a refresh of the list of files, so i.e. also, when a file changes in the background and Far refreshes the view - selection is partially lost.

Is this intended "new" behaviour? Because its rather annoying... :-(

WinXP-latest/32bit, btw...

Please check it in nightly builds.

Oh yes - the latest nightly works just fine again. Hence a plugin I use doesn't work anymore now (DialogManager) but thats not so important...

Thank for the quick help!

What do you mean by DialogManager doesn't work?
For Far 3.0 there is a new plugin, called DialogTools.

After update to the nightly I see an error:

Code: Select all

Access violation (read from 0x[...])
Address: 0x[...]
Function: SetStartupInfo
Module [...]\DialogManager\dialogM.dll
This does not happen with the stable build (Far Manager v3.0 build 3156 x86 (2013-02-06)).

Didn't know about that one - does it replace DialogManager? Will try! :-)

Everything is back to normal now, thanks a bunch.
Maybe you should consider to update the "stable" release to one which doesn't have such an annoyance... :whistle: :)
