Hi,

There is some issue during starting MC, when initializing Explorer Panel, MC freezes and there is no chance to start it at all.
Restart doesn't help.

Here is few file logs.

There is something wrong with ExplorerPanel.xml file I attach it. After deleting it MC starts.

I found that mentioned xml file had last rows like this:
</config>
<DelayUpdate value="1"/>
<onlylocal value="0"/>
<onlylocked value="0"/>
<itemfocus value="1"/>
<sort value="1"/>

but should be (after copy + paste MC starts):
<startup>
<DelayUpdate value="0"/>
<onlylocal value="0"/>
<onlylocked value="0"/>
<itemfocus value="1"/>
<sort value="1"/>
</startup>
</config>

After last update I started only one time MC, I'm curious why xml file has changed after second start.

Updated & ran this build OK for 5hrs approx.
Subsequently shut down & restarted PC & now hangs on splash screen at ''Loading extension : Explorer Panel'' statement.
Needs to be terminated via Task Manager. Running as Admin on win10 x64.

Following Lukasz' comment, I altered the end section of the ExplorerPanel.xml file & MC then correctly starts.
I.E.

--- Code: ---<DelayUpdate value="1"/>
<onlylocal value="0"/>
<onlylocked value="0"/>
<itemfocus value="1"/>
<sort value="1"/>

<<<< I commented out this trailing extra block>>>>







--- End code ---

Closing MC reverts to lock-up at next start with ExplorerPanel.xml being incorrectly formatted again.

Need your help Mathias ;)

I have the same problem :(

Mathias (Author):
Hmm strange I have not been able to recreate the issue yet,
the settings "DelayUpdate" is new. But not sure how the xml file can get corrupted. and why it hangs.. even if fails to read config it should continue..
When reading the xml and a settings is missing it will be added,

MC Freezes. Is it possible for you or anyone else that have this issue to go into task manager and right click on MC there and select Create Dump File. and then zip/7z that dump file and upload it to
http://multicommander.com/upload/

Workaround for failure to read config file.

User settings file in C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\ or Config/ in portable
Edit ExplorerPanel.xml

make sure there is nothing after the </config> in at the bottom.
And after the </save> add a "<startup></startup>" tag the problem might be that it creates this tag in the wrong place. it ends up in the root of the xml tree if it is missing.

--- Code: --- <save>
<path value="1"/>
<onlylocal value="1"/>
<sort value="1"/>
</save>
<startup>
</startup>
