When MC launches the update it tells it to check beta but since it is restarted again because it downloads a newer version that option is lost.
It is possible to set that setting in the MultiUpdate settings.

Backup in MultiUpdate backup everything into a folder.
But there might be issues going from v3.x => v2.x since the configuration is change a bit in v3.0
The latest Portable on the web site is 2.8.2, What issue do you get with that ? Because you can not get the MCIcons.dll error in that version since that version does not use that file.

Sounds like the upgrade failed or something. Is the file MCIcons.dll there at all ?
There is no "stable" version that has MCIcons.dll, it is new for 3.0 and only in 3.0 so if "stable" also fails then it must fail on something else.
All version are here

Depends on how long the path was.
Most of the function in MC support a path up to 4096. If it is longer then that there still can be an issue

Support and Feedback / Re: why 'overwrite'
« on: February 10, 2013, 11:57:22 »
Yes that an issue with the error handling. Happens because the source file can not be deleted because of Readonly attribute. When moving a file that is not on the same partition a Copy and Delete is done.
Pressing 'overwrite' will delete source file. ( the file has already been copied. )

You can't, The Specific color will override all other colors.
But a new rule based color system is planed. Then It will be possible.

Support and Feedback / Re: Delete Dialog and Shell Context Questions
« on: February 06, 2013, 15:17:21 »I have looked through the docs and this forum, but I haven't been able to find the answer to these two questions.1. No it was to dangerous and too many accidental files got deleted by users so that option was removed. But I plan on maybe adding it again, but only for deleting to recycle bin. (Like Windows
1. Is it possible to turn off the delete dialog that appears when deleting files/folders? I don't want to be asked what options to use when deleting each and every time.
2. Is it possible to map a key to open the shell context menu? I know how to map a mouse click to open the shell context menu. However, I would like to use my keyboard to open the shell context menu. My keyboard is a compact type, so it does not have a shell context menu key like some keyboards have.
Thanks in advance.
. I might add a option to turn it off completely for permanent delete, But that option will not be exposed in settings. you will have to add that to the settings files manually. 2. The Context Menu button on the keyboard work. But if you are missing that key. like you are then you are out of luck. Maybe it is possible to remap that key to another key with some program.. But that would be system wide and not only in MC. I will see if it might be possible to add so that command can be customized.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Allow drop files on executables or cmd files
« on: February 06, 2013, 15:10:30 »
It is planned.. But right now there is a conflict when doing it between starting a copy of the dragged items or by execute file that files are dropped on.
A workaround (If you drop files a lot on the same exe) is to place the exe in the quick launch bar. Dropping files on a files there works.

Support and Feedback / Re: Zip and encodings
« on: February 06, 2013, 15:03:19 »
Zip by its standard only allow for 7bit characters.
But there are settings to force what code page to use. They are still "experimental" (not widely tested) so you have to type the settings in the command line field
* Force the zip filesystem to use a custom codepage. Set Codepage using ":zipcp <cp num>" in the command line field. ( type ":zipcp -1" for current system codepage )
":zipcp 0" to restore to default behavior
* Force the zip filesystem to use the extended zip support for UTF8 when created Zip archive. Use commandline command ":ziputf8 1" to enable and ":ziputf8 0" to disable

Think you need to explain that better.
Target panel is always the panel that is not in focus. and is the default target location for copy and other operations.. Like other commanders.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: ** Summary of Requests and Suggestions *
« on: January 30, 2013, 19:13:32 »First, thanks for the excellence program.1. You can kind of do that now using the command line field.. by typing "cmd" or "*cmd" (open as admin)
My requests:
1. Open a cmd window from here. Right click on a folder and have an option to "Open cmd window from here", with the folder path set as current directory in cmd. Also, an option to "Open cmd as administrator from here"
2. Predefined target directories for Copy and Move operations. Let users pre-define target directories. Once copy or move was invoked, prompt user for target selections.
But the entire context menu thing will be reworked and then it will be added there too.
2. You can set presets for the copy to dialog that auto set target path/filter/option. This preset can be loaded from the F-key or also autoload if you starta a copy/move from a specified folder. Expand the CopyTo dialog completely and at the bottom you can defined presets.

Support and Feedback / Re: BUG: files got deleted if dropped from external 7-zip
« on: January 30, 2013, 19:09:52 »
The problem is that 7Zip temporary unpack the file and tell MC that the files is location at path X. and then MC starts to Copy the files. But since MC copy the file using a background thread then the control is returned to 7Zip when the copy starts and it thinks that the process is finished and deletes the tmp file. (While MC is copying them.)
I will see if this can be fixed.. I think the program need to block and wait until copy is finished. However this will block the program until the copy is finished.
