Feature Requests and Suggestions / copy dialog colors in dark mode

« on: July 11, 2025, 07:40:38 »

Mathias,
Just a small feature request, the copy dialog in dark mode only has black/white and green for the progress bar. While the dialog in light mode has a few colors which i always loved, could you color the dark one just a little bit more.
Thanks.

Support and Feedback / tabs in dark mode

« on: June 30, 2025, 11:04:56 »

Hi Mathias,

I'm trying out dark mode. On the tabs only the path of the current active tab is readable.
And i would love to increase font size on the tabs.
Thanks as always.

Support and Feedback / it always takes so long

« on: June 16, 2025, 14:58:28 »

Hi Mathias,

When i close my laptop (so it goes to sleep) and go to my desktop where a share was open to the laptop, it always takes a minute or more before MC becomes responsible again.
Is there anything you can do?

Script / script does not open new window anymore

« on: January 22, 2025, 15:29:00 »

Hi Mathias,

This used to create a new tab in the other panel but currently it uses an old one, regression maybe?
Thanks

Code: [Select]

MC.SetActivePanel PANEL=TOGGLE
MC.Explorer.NewBrowser
MC.Explorer.Goto PATH=FTP:\example.com

Feature Requests and Suggestions / multidataviewer in tab instead of separate window

« on: December 19, 2024, 07:05:41 »

I'm using MC for years now, for me it beats all others, even the expensive paid ones.
The one feature i miss is total commander's view text feature where you can scroll through files in one tab, and get to see the (text) contents in the other.
I wouldn't need it to do pics as well but since you already have that code in the multi viewer it could as well do it to, but it's not part of my request.

Thanks Mathias.

Support and Feedback / found a way around long waits

« on: June 02, 2023, 11:38:51 »

I've complained before about long waiting times when copying a file, sometimes over a minute.
I found that if this starts (windows present a wait cursor)  i can start explorer and browse to the the destination folder, the moment i hit that folder, mc commences to copy and the wait is over.

Support and Feedback / internal error?

« on: February 26, 2023, 18:33:33 »

Mathias i have some troubles.
A file copy takes some 16 seconds before the overwrite confirmation dialog appears, log:

Code: [Select]

Support and Feedback / FTP broken [solved]

« on: November 17, 2022, 07:59:14 »

First it does Scanning Filesystem which takes very long. Then it presents an empty panel. Then after some time it shows only the public_html map with a size of 0 bytes and it can't be clicked or expanded.
Other ftp software like WinScp work fine.

I've had trouble with MC - ftp before while winscp was working and i can't help the idea it's something with how mc handles ftp.

Script / MC.Explorer.Goto and ftp

« on: September 21, 2022, 15:06:13 »

Hi,
I now have this little user command

Code: [Select]

MC.SetActivePanel PANEL=TOGGLE
MC.Explorer.NewBrowser
MC.Explorer.Goto PATH=ftp:\jcremers.com

And it is set to Ctrl-0 so every time i need to update something on the server i can just use the keypress.

However on each successful connect it also adds another ftp icon on the top of the window, and after a while it sometimes won't even connect anymore.
Is there a way i can keep or re-use the first successful connection with the same script / keypress?

This is driving me crazy. The toolbar gets filled with ftp icons and when you click on them i just get an error beep because they are old and disconnected.
I disabled the error window because it's so small to click on the X to close it and it doesn't help the issue.
I'd like an easy reliable way to connect a panel to the ftp server with a keystroke. I'm must be missing something.

Script / syntax for MC.Explorer.Goto PATH=ftp:mysite.com ?

« on: August 03, 2022, 21:07:10 »

I've been having some trouble with ftp lately, the hoster made some changes and it's better now but it seems i have to revise some scripts because they don't work as expected anymore.

what exactly is the syntax for MC.Explorer.Goto PATH=ftp:mysite.com please? It doesn't work as expected.

Strange things happening, and after 'Server request denied' i don't see a panel, but it does NOOP so it's still connected.

Support and Feedback / Ftp stopped working :(

« on: July 29, 2022, 14:20:13 »

I think this *might* be related to a windows update a few days ago.
Ftp stopped working on mc (and on the notepad++ ftp plugin), so i'm pretty [censored].
Mc gives me timed out errors. Firewall is off (i hope, i've read someone saying an update changed ftp rules).
It still works on winscp and on filezilla.
Please help

I sometimes use this feature and have to use another filemanager for it. Would appreciate it if it's in MC.

Support and Feedback / Mc generating multiple c:\ tabs behind my back

« on: July 08, 2022, 18:29:06 »

Hi,
What could cause mc to generate extra c:\ tabs? Always on the right pane at the end, just now i counted 19! Or maybe it does it when i'm working with it and i just don't see it..
I have mc always running, never close it down.

Support and Feedback / multirename and iso / utf issues

« on: November 09, 2020, 15:55:28 »

Hello,
I downloaded a bunch of youtube movies and i'm having trouble with iso encoding in filenames.
I was hoping multirename would help but if i for instance try to rename Dvorák to Dvorak it does not rename those files.
I have lots of these files so i'm really hoping for an automated solution, i tried some tools but had little succes.

Support and Feedback / dragging a file over the tabs area.

« on: September 15, 2020, 19:57:46 »

Hi,
I do this often, drag a file from somewhere into another program, browser etc.
When the drag crosses the tabs area, the tab changes to where to mouse crosses there.  Now i have to aim my drag so it crosses the current tab.  If i don't do that, another tab gets focus which is not what i want. I hope you can understand.
Thanks.

Support and Feedback / when a share is closed, mc becomes unresponsive

« on: September 15, 2020, 19:53:54 »

For instance i have a network share to my laptop form the deskop. If i turn off the laptop then on the deskop Mc becomes unresponsive. It was minimized so i tried to maximize it but i got a blank screen and i had to wait a minute or so. There are also variations when it just says 'not responding', but always with either a network share or an ftp tab that has lost connection.
I'd love to see this fixed and have my fav filemanager become more stable.

Support and Feedback / moving a bunch of queued files and skipping one

« on: July 25, 2020, 20:01:55 »

Well i did this, skipped a file from the cue.
Then the lower progress said the files were moved 100% while the above progress bar happily continued to move files.  (fortunately)

Feature Requests and Suggestions / tabs for some paths with persistant color, for instance always color d:\in red.

« on: April 13, 2020, 20:47:46 »

tabs for some paths with persistant color, for instance always color d:\in red.
So that when you make a new tab and browse to d:\in (or subfolder) it will get red. I have a few paths i would love to define that way, not dependant on the tab property but in some setting window like the favourites paths. Or maybe let me assign a tab color to one of those.

Support and Feedback / search files

« on: April 12, 2020, 13:31:21 »

Hi folks,
What am i doing wrong, i'm trying to search a map for filenames with the word 'on', but it shows me wrong results. Explorer shows the files are there.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / remember tab colors / multirename key

« on: March 13, 2020, 14:02:43 »

Hello,
1. I just noticed that after a restart mc looses it's tab colors, is there a way to remember/reapply them?
2. On the multi-rename window, please give the Start and Close button both a keyboard shortcut. I would like more keyboard shortcuts in that dialog, after all, when renaming you mostly use the keyboard.
Thanks

ps i donated and was expecting something like contributor status, it's not important, only i didn't see it.
