If I have multiple files selected, I can no longer open them by pressing the Enter key. Instead, Unlocker was being launched, and after uninstalling Unlocker, nothing happens at all. The "Open" link from the context menu still works, and everything functions correctly in other file explorers.

So there's no plan to ever fix this? And even a MultiScript can't handle it?

Unlocker ?

Return and "open" should be the same. both send the list of files to Windows and tell it to "open" them. MC don't really have much control over what Windows does. normally they are opened using what the file type is associated with.

I can't replicate any difference from right click open or return key.
I check what is different in the code. But they should the same

Unlocker ?
This is a very old program for deleting protected files. I don't think this is the reason for the issue.
My antivirus, F-Secure, quarantined MuktiCommander.exe, most recently on May 22. If others don't have this issue, then some kind of system error must have crept in on my end.

I have updated to 3099, and now opening multiple files with the Enter key works again. So the issue must obviously be related to the MC code.

Very strange because there was no change around that in last beta.
