Phones use obsolete MTP protocol which is not natively supported in OneCommander. Reasons and workaround using FTP can be found here https://groups.google.com/g/onecommander/c/igMVqW-b0Qo/m/1dqwVTY8DgAJ

NEW WAY

In ~November 2024 Microsoft updated Phone Link app to allow wireless access to your Android phone files (not sure if iPhones have similar app)

There's a bunch of youtube videos on this https://youtu.be/7jdcTOrk_Ro?t=77

Taskmaster is a OneCommander utility to replace Explorer dialogs for file operations.

It uses Windows native APIs for Copy/Move operations and not hacks like some other copy/move replacements to speed-up operations. That means it won't break any speed records but it is as reliable as Explorer's operations.

Improvements over Explorer dialogs:

• Ability to copy deep folder structures longer than 255 characters
• Copied files and folders keep Created and Modified dates (Explorer creates folders on copy with a new date, ruining backups)
• (Soon) Same theme/style as OC (including Dark theme that Explorer dialogs don't yet have)
• (Soon) Prompts only once for elevation (Admin)

Renaming file

There is a bug in Windows that sometimes leads to program freezing when OC asks Windows to rename a file or folder
Several workarounds have been implemented but since I can't reproduce this issue it is not certain which one will fix the problem
To apply workaround open: Settings>Advanced and in Experimental section you will see
Rename freezing workaround section

AlienwareSoundCenter causes rendering issues with WPF programs by injecting NahimicOSD into them.

There are two ways to fix this:

Better way

1. Run your prefered text editor as Administrator (Notepad, Notepad++, VS Code, or similar)
2. Open file C:\ProgramData\A-Volute\DellInc.AlienwareSoundCenter\Modules\ScheduledModules\Configurator\BlackApps.dat (you might need to paste the whole path in the Open Dialog because ProgramData is a hidden folder)
3. Add onecommander.exe at the end of it and save
