Ohhh so I was copying some Images (changing PNGs to WebPs extensions using mass-MultiRename of some 23 files in User/Downloads/ subfolder) & COMODO AV flagged MultiCommander as "probably Cryptolocker @ 14.2" (without notifying) that's how the MultiCommander EXE got deleted (I thought it had crashed & ransomware blocked me from accessing User/Downloads in Explorer), I noticed it just now it's still in COMODO AV Quarantine ! Anyway I had downloaded the Portable Zip & replaced the MC EXE. It's working fine just had to update to latest Beta & also I didn't lose any config/ settings ! 🧞‍♂️ After checking Exclusions, MC is whitelisted; I don't know how it happened, gotta do MultiRenames outside these protected User/ folders (if you've got COMODO Internet Security Premium) ! 😌 P.S: I lost those Images during the conversion process dialog but I managed to re-download them.

Before you could click on an item in the Aliases dialog, and press a key and it would jump to that character in the list; I think (correct me if I'am wrong.) Could you bring back that functionality for Aliases, it would help navigate the huge number of Aliases I have ! Let's say an Alias item has focus and I press the "P" key it should jump to the first item that starts with "P". Just a minor feature but would help a lot. Similar to the  alphabeticized-jump-on-keydown User Defined Commands —it's already present for UDC, why not for Aliases ?  :)

I have this old app that's meant to be run as 32-bit (QREAD 95) —when run within MC it runs as 64-bit & gets redirected into not opening the proper files. I need to be able to emulate a 32-bit running environment when I open it from MC. Like in 32-bit via my Taskbar it opens all known files for me, but in 64-bit it opens a separate workspace (due to WOW64 redirect.) I tried some methods to run a file as 32-bit using command-line paramters but they didn't work. Any solution ?

If I enter an extensive filename in the Quick Filter on a folder with multiple files, the search does not return one single unique match, instead it lists a large number of inaccurate results. For instance in a folder with PDF's, I entered this into the Quick Filter and it didn't narrow it down to one match. The search query was "Sockets, Shellcode, Porting, & Coding. Reverse Engineering Exploits & Tool Coding For Sec Pro" —however when I deleted most of the Quick Filter title it showed the one match properly, just breaks on long searches. It works for short queries well, but needs to be fixed so long unique filenames are handled\ displayed properly.  :)

Here's some more ideas: instead of the command bar predicting subfolders only in paths how about it matching previous history folder names separate from the full path, kind of like instant hotlinking to most accessed directories !  8)

Sometimes I get into scenarios where I have 20+ Tabs easily. A Dropdown List Menu of all Tabs Names (with Paths) would be a good indicator when there's way too much Tab Strip clutter & you can't see what the Tab Names are —helping you navigate faster (most browsers have this feature (Edge has Vertical Tabs, Firefox always had a built-in Dropdown List Menu (which is why I had to use Firefox until Edge added this feature much later !)) P.S: Hovering over each name is too slow, & since MC doesn't have a Windows menu it could be added to the right of the Tab Strip perhaps.  :D P.P.S: This much-needed feature could be something rudimentary like the Alt+Down-ArrowKey History List (this would work fine for the Tabs List !)
Note: Clicking on a Tab Name Dropdown Menu location path item should take you to that Tab.

There's a bug in MC when opening a really lengthy path with a huge-length filename via the Button Panel. I mean I can access "D:\Download\DL Dir\pendrive\web content\cyberpunk ebooks\backups\USB\Computer Graphics\" directly but not via the Button Panel, it also contains a filename which is really long: "Mathematics for Computer Graphics and Game Programming A Self-Teaching Introduction (D. P. Kothari, G. Awari, D. Shrimankar etc.) (z-lib.org).pdf" so that might also be contributing towards it ! Can you fix it so that MC "Command Type > External" "MC.Explorer.Goto SOURCE="D:\Download\DL Dir\pendrive\web content\cyberpunk ebooks\backups\USB\Computer Graphics\" long paths like this can be accessed again ?! I get the error "Failed to launch program | The system cannot find the file specified."

What does "Show HotPath" (Ctrl+,) do ? I want a feature to Goto the the actual file path of an link (.lnk). Windows Explorer has a function for this ("Open file location") in Right-click menu, but it opens it in Explorer, wish MC had a similar function !! Is there a workaround to add this functionality ? Otherwise thrilled /w the new features & options !  :D
P.S: I would like to add the "Open file location" command to MC's "Custom Context Menu".

Bug #1
When using 64x64 Thumbnail Mode, the 'Right-Click Menu Keyboard Key' (I have that as a special key on my Dell keyboard next to the Function Key (it's a laptop)) doesn't open the Right-Click Menu sometimes. On 96x96 Thumbnail Mode it's functional & works always in Detailed List Mode though :D . If you could fix this in a future update that'd be great !
P.S: I was able to pinpoint+replicate the issue:: It happens when the caret is on the first item 'Move To Upper (Empty Arrow) Directory' thumbnail, if you move the caret to an actual File\ Folder & then switch between Tabs, the Right-Click Menu appears ! So there's a prob /w the caret being on the first item 'Move To Upper (Empty Arrow) Directory' box initially. If you want a screenshot to demonstrate I can do so …  ;D
P.P.S: It works sometimes, doesn't work other times !  :'(
<~~ Nvm I fixed this by checking 'Show Context Menu on '..' Item" !!

Bug #2
I don't see the 'Keyboard Customization' hotkey for 'Switching Tabs': that is, I don't see the Ctrl+Tab and the Ctrl+Shift+Tab for moving backwards and forwards between Tabs listed there. I want to change the hotkey to Ctrl+Page Down and Ctrl+Page Up that's why.  :D

Bug #3
When I use the " -AutoRun=AutorunCmd" command-line parameter in the MC shortcut (to View the Full Pane), my Tabs get reset and there's only 1 tab !!  :( I have the shortcut running as Admin, maybe that has something to do with it ?
<~~ Nvm this is working too, I accidentally wrapped the [Shortcut Properties] path within double quotes —that's why it reset the Tabs !!  :D

I'am trying to create a User-Defined Command (named "Open PDF In Edge") to open the Selected File in Microsoft Edge Browser. It's to be added to a Custom Context Menu which I have it listed in no prob there. But when I enter the following Custom Command, the Edge Browser opens with lots of tabs for each of the folder paths. This is what I'am using (Edge opens but the PDF file doesn't, I even tried /w another PDF Viewer but that doesn't Open it either)::

Code: [Select]
MC.Run CMD="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" ARG="${focusfilepath}"ALSO TRIED::
Code: [Select]
MC.Run CMD="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" ARG="${sourcefilepath}"
Could I have this script rectified\ fixed please ?

Nvm, I got it to work via External !!::
Code: [Select]
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" "${focusfilepath}"

Support and Feedback / PlayAudio User-Defined Command Not Working !
« on: January 26, 2024, 17:51:01 »
I made a User Defined Command:: MC.PlayAudio FILE="C:\Users\dell\Documents\My Movies\Backstreet Boys- Greatest Hits- Mp3ViLLe\07 Backstreet Boys - Larger Than Life.mp3" (Custom Commands > MC (Group) > Play Audio (Function) > File (Options).) Which I then put into Aliases:: mp3 | @7c23ba2910a745809cf703e5aabc08ef No problem /w the Aliases. But when I enter mp3 to run the command mp3 in the Command Line Field, it does nothing ! I also tried moving it to "D:\1.mp3" but that does nothing. I was just trying to get this new Beta feature to work. Also, is it capable of playing ".WAV" files as well ? As I could really use that !!! :)
P.S: Nevermind, I tested the StopAudio as well, & same thing: hasn't been implemented yet.

12
The custom shortcut keys I assigned either keep getting unresponsive or stop getting triggered from time to time !!  I really would like there to be a more robust hotkey system with persistence. Usually this happens when I close & restart quickly —I depend a lot on the shortcuts keys, please try to fix them in a future release.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / 64x64 Thumbnail Mode Option Needed
« on: January 23, 2024, 17:09:11 »
96x96 is too big, I need 64x64 Thumbnail size (Explorer Panel options > 1st Tab.) Please consider allowing this !!

#1 There's a bug where the Filename (in the last row Thumbnail List) doesn't fit into the Window Pane (gets clipped out-of-bounds) (see attached screenshot).) I use Consolas as my font.

#2 Finally, is it just me or is the Hover Preview not working in the latest Beta Update version ? x64 12.0 build 2894. Please clarify, thanks !!

P.S: I'm using Windows 10 Enterprise Edition.

I would like address-bar autocomplete\ predictions while I type —I have two main folders in my D:\ & this would help me immensely. Explorer has this, right now you need to navigate via the Folder Tree on the left pane, which is tedious. By the way, the Hover Preview makes MC really above-par, thanks —I can now use MC as my main go-to File Manager.

Ultra Explorer allows you to save individual files shortcuts in its Favorites Pane, I'd use it still if it were updated but it's discontinued & lacks support for peeking in Compressed rar files & built-in FTP, would be nice to see this in Multi Commander. Currently I have to copy the filename with full path & save it in the Folder as tag or use a notepad textfile shortcut in the Button Pane (External Program) to remember stuff like PDFs when there's hundreds of others in the same directory --like creating my own to-do\ reading list. Or I would even have to link the [Unused] Buttons to the ebook files directly. Please consider adding filename as shortcuts to MC. Thanks bro!
Yours Faithfully,

I used some bad Command-line Arguments to run as Administrator on a shortcut in Stardock ObjectDock, & that messed up my MC (the Folder tree wasn't displaying on Startup & the tabs weren't saved on next resumed session.) As a result I had to Reset. That fixed everything & everything was back to normal (I made a backup before (but not using it as it's broken.) I suspect it was the "runas /profile /user /save vcredist C:\Program Files\MultiCommander64" in Shortcut Arguments that messed it up. This was the error I got from both panes (it was hard to take a snapshot --it happened in the blink of an eye.): https://i.imgsafe.org/e3a354b956.png Also I had accidentally made the mistake of ticking "Don't Show Me This Again" on the "Link Network Drives" on Administrator mode in MC. & I needed to enable that again! Also, before I had Dropbox & OneDrive folders on the toolbox --how do I get those again?? Please this is _very_ important! I had backups of the Config I will check them later to determine how! Also just wanted to point out that some things aren't saved in the backup (like Favorites if I'm right.)
I can't seem to get the FTP to work /w my 000webhost.com site account --works in FileZilla (probably a fault on my end.)
If you can just get me to display the OneDrive & Dropbox icons on the toolbar, that would be a great help!
Yours faithfully,
Roth13[] Designz™
PS: It was actually [this argument in shortcut that caused the crash]: runas /user:REQUIREDUSERNAME /savecred c:\PATH\TO\APP.exe
Only I replaced them with appropriate username & path. If I may link you to these two articles: https://www.sevenforums.com/system-security/17528-command-line-argument-admin-rights.html & https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/05cce5f6-3c3a-4bb8-8b72-8c1ce4b5eff1/how-to-run-a-program-as-adminitrator-via-the-command-line?forum=w7itproappcompat --I shouldn't have followed them, it was a big mistake!
P.P.S: Okay it's fixed as per this post: http://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php?topic=1406.0 Thanks anyway!!
P.P.P.S: Okay I got FTP to work  --is there a special way to disconnect other than closing the tab?
PPPPS: Okay I found it after searching: http://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php?topic=779.0 -sheesh- I should look up before I go posting in here --I would just close the tab before --never used the Disconnect\Eject button --might've corrupted my server\account!
