I have a couple of requests, (don't know if they are already planned) :-
- when copying/moving files - if a source file matches a file at the destination, any differences are shown in high-lighted text on the dialog. This could be a different color or bold type etc. (eg - in area high-lighted on attached image).
- When running a search, I'd the like to be able to edit/clear the old search history list - i.e. the drop-down in the 'look for' field

Yes, the "conflict"-dialog is something that is planed to redesign. However it is not easy to redo without making it messy.
MS had a blog post about the design of the conflict dialog for Windows Explorer for Windows 8 (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/08/26/designing-the-windows-8-file-name-collision-experience.aspx). It can easy get very complicated and messy. :)

Menu > Help > Clear User Data
Then check "Logs, History and session information" and it will remove it.
But also lots of other history info is removed.

Thanks Mathias.
Yes MS copy dialogs aren't very aesthetic nor do they hi-lite things as I would like. I think a lot of my preferences would need to override native explorer behaviour which may be beyond the scope of your prog/available time.
I guess it would require a lot of coding to fully hook MC into the OS to eliminate the everlasting poor Win Explorer features & clutter.
Its now W8 & MS still don't recognize a need for multi pane. ::)
Wow! That nukes loads of things. Bit overkill for my current needs, even my cmd-line startup got eaten.
Now all I've got to do is reconfigure some things .... & I will be good to go ;D
