Not currently. But if an external tool exists you can add a button for it easy in MC. Just drag it to the quick launch bar

Hi.
is there an option that I can add some text in one of the columns?
If it possible I want the usual columns and one that I can add text so the folder name will stay just a number.
I try to avoid this : "31001 - IEC" . I want to have a column for the folder name "31001" and a column for some text "XXXXXX" .
It will make the sorting easier.
Then I hope you at least have 20% free memory at all the time. Without a swap Windows cannot move stuff around in memory to free up large chunks if a program request a larger size of memory.. then you can cause a crash becuse of no memory even if you got several gigs free.. just becuse it did not find a large enough block free. Also windows cannot use memory for caching as much.Like disabling swap, This is a cause of many crashes..I always disable the swap file...
I guess dacidp88 is a chatbot.
I never used the PDF preview in Windows Explorer before, but I've tested this feature now and I have to say, it works, but it doesn't work in MC. Moreover, the crash without any crash report is repeatable; it takes 3-5 minutes, and then it crashes. The preview for images works.
Maybe you turned it of. Becuse normally a crash report is sent and a dialog shown with a crash ID if MC is just terminated..crash reportThere is no crash report because the MultiCommander instance is terminated without any message. The window closes, and the executable is terminated without any message. I have no preview software installed in Windows, and some services may be disabled. I use Adobe Reader and ABBYY FineReader for PDFs. It would be better for MultiCommander to operate independently and not rely on Windows features that may be disabled by users.
I think that the easiest way would be to allow external app in the preview setup.Also been think about some event system to hook into. However there are so many situation that cause issue. specially it depends on what the "script" would do.. And it is also hard to limit what script function can be used to avoid issue and so..
Another way - events. Multiple times I wanted to suggest this feature but I'm not sure it's worth the efforts. The point is to allow executing scripts/UDC on certain events like MC start/exit, change file focus, opening/closing tabs, begin/end file operations etc. But I don't think it would be useful.
OneCommander I never heard of. Might be built on top of Windows Shell. But TC,FC , XY only support to view on command. eg https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook/wiki/Total-CommanderQuickLook does not know when the focus of a file in MC changes.
Indeed, so my question is probably, "is there a way to politely request MC to pass that info to QL" - after all, many file managers manage to do it (Windows, but also many of the *Commander and a slate of others - see https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook/wiki/File-Managers ). There may be profound technical reasons, of course, but at face value it does not sound implausible or unfeasible, I was wondering whether I had maybe overlooked an obvious setting.
Only FM that manage to do it is Windows. None of the other 3rd party filemanager can do that from what I see. Don't see any API for 3rd party tools
That it might work in Windows explorer is becuse I think they probably hook them self into the preview handler or into the shell.
I respectfully disagree. I just tested, and it does work in OneCommander (https://onecommander.com/). Now of course I have no idea how they do it.
MC got its own preview panel, and there you can preview images/pdf and more insida a tab..This does not work properly. All my PDFs are displayed as empty, and while testing, MultiCommander crashed and was killed. DXF files are also very important for the preview. It would be better to completely remove the feature, as it is not usable in its current state.
QuickLook does not know when the focus of a file in MC changes.

Here is a video demoing it. I am not sure either, I thought I would report it anyway, maybe some others users might have the same issue, they can follow up here.
How do I save the panel/tab widths to always be the same size when I open MC? I tried clicking on header to 'Save current layout as defaults'. Not working.The split size is not save if you totally or almost hide one of the panels.
Also, have the 'Save on exit' ticked.
Also have the 'Remember split size between restarts' ticked. Not working.
It always opens in the same way, and I have to make the columns bigger.
Thanks.
When unzip and overwrite the original version, SessionConfig will overwrite the original configuration.Don't do that. use the MultiUpdate tool to upgrade..
Alright, thanks for clarifying !Right now MC only allow .mp3 files. so MC block any other file at the moment.. But I think the Windows Audio Engine support Wav.. But I have not checked what formats it supports yet.
P.S: I tested, it doesn't work on WAV. But that's O.K.
Not exactly the right thread but using MC 13.5 b2982 x64 W11 I'm seeing MC refuse to open .rars.
Otherwise so far so good
Thanks for your continuing work Mathias
I reassigned Rename from default Shift+F6 to F2. At the first launch after update to 13.4 both shortcuts stopped working. And AFAIR Rename item disappeared from the keyboard customization dialog (but I'm not sure). But I was unable to find there neither F2 nor Shift+F6. After restart everything came back to normal state.
I don't want to create new topic...Hang on exit still an issue, I guess maybe 4 of 5 exits leave the window hanging & unresponsive.
For me it still exists. And it seemingly doesn't depend on antivirus. IIRC it started happening since v13
