Support and Feedback / Had lost the thumbnails

« on: September 01, 2025, 03:32:15 »

Hello,

I had a problem with the picture files : instead of a miniature of the picture, the IrfanView icon was showed. OK it said it was a picture, but seeing the picture is much better.

I found a thread of 2015 from somebody who had the same problem.

From the Configuration menu he was said to go to the Core Settings command, then to the File System tab, and then find Thumbnails system at the end.

The tip was to switch the thumbnails system to Internal, from Windows or Auto.

Well you know, I had just the opposite. I had the Internal thunbnails system selected, as soon as I selected Auto the thumbnails appeared again.

I remember I once had to refresh the thumbnails in the Windows explorer with something like

Code: [Select]

ie4uinit.exe -show, I presume that something equivalent has to exist in MultiCommander ?

By the way, felicitations for the quality of the scrolling. The first line stays stable, just the next pictures take the place of the ones that were displayed.

Support and Feedback / Preview of webp files

Hello everybody,

For pictures in format webp, there is no preview, just a white rectangle.

Is it something I did not install properly ?

Support and Feedback / Font sizes

« on: May 19, 2021, 02:41:23 »

Hello,
You know, I do not see as well as 20 years ago ; and this is the main reason why I use multi-commander. You were very reactive about the font size to display the file names, thank you for that.
Some other areas of the UI would deserve attention on the same aspect.
Maybe the menus (dropdown and contextual) are the most often read. The file size area down the two panels is not obvious as there is rich information compared to the place available for it, so probably increasing the font size on it would require some more work to give it place to display.
I saw a few threads in the forum dedicated to readability, and I must admit I was unable to take profit of them. The drives lists (Alt F1 / Alt F2) loose their font in some badly identified situations I have read somewhere : this induces you can choose a font somewhere. Well sorry, I do not know where. Somewhere you mention the explorer settings, do you mean the Windows Explorer ? Oh, I came as I was pretty sure there was no easy way to modify the font there.
So, perhaps it is a question of documentation, I did not look at the correct place ?
Maybe I could better discover some other aspects of MultiCommander if did not have to spend so much time on opening the Windows lens and closing it again.
For instance, when opening the software you have a nice dialog to display tips, but I can only read that dialog with the Windows lens (the magnifier).

Tips and Tricks / Compare folders

« on: April 07, 2021, 17:20:09 »

Hello everybody,

I presume on Multicommander, there is a simple way to list file names that present in one panel and not the other ?
Where should I look for that ?

Tips and Tricks / View and zoom, 2

« on: March 11, 2021, 00:31:31 »

Hello,

I was about to answer to "View and zoom" [1], but I am not sure about whether Daveme wants to stay updated.

So, you change the fonts for the file names by Configuration, Explorer panel (and ... scroll to the point  )

Hum, already much better, I should have guessed I should find that in the documentation (you know, I came to Multi-Commander because the font in the Windows explorer is definitely too little).

For the title bar and the menu bar I used System Font Size Changer (from wintools.info), but I see there are still buttons down there with little fonts.
I should have guessed Configuration / Preferences, but ... perhaps not ?
