I'm currently reviewing our development roadmap and re-evaluating the prioritization of upcoming tasks.

Your feedback is crucial in guiding the future evolution of MultiCommander. To ensure we focus on the enhancements that will provide the most value to you, I would greatly appreciate your input on the following:

Desired Functionality:
Are there any specific features you have been hoping to see implemented in MultiCommander?
What new capabilities would significantly enhance your file management workflow?

Enhancements to Existing Features:
Are there any current features that you believe could be improved in terms of functionality, usability, or performance?
What specific aspects of MultiCommander could be made more intuitive or powerful to better serve your needs?

Addressing Workflow Challenges:
What are the primary frustrations or inefficiencies you experience when managing your files within the Windows environment?
How could MultiCommander be further developed to address these challenges and streamline your daily tasks?


No suggestion is too minor or too ambitious.

Beta Releases / 15.3
« on: March 27, 2025, 07:25:34 »

v15.2 beta ( Build 3079 )
 --3082
 
  ADDED - MultiScript StrReplace now support a 4 parameter for option, and option can be "ignorecase"
  ADDED - Option to show a extra confirmation box based on rules. (Advanced) Manual edit of rules in ConfirmationRules.xml needed
  ADDED - Option to show a extra confirmation box before COPY/MOVE/DELETE, By default it is OFF !!
  FIXED - 2 Stability issues

-- 3079 - 2025-03-31
  ADDED - Columns showing a DATE can now be configured to show the date raw/utc, (No translation to local time)
  FIXED - SFTP Incresed connection timeout. Some servers was slow to respond when connecting
  FIXED - ImageViewer can now show images located in extra long path
  FIXED - Folder sizing extra long folder paths now works again
  FIXED - Dynamic Submenu item for shell context menu now works again

-- 3078
FIXED - Fixed shell context menu. It does now handle errors from 3rd party shell extensions better, and if shell extension crash it might not bring MC with it


~80% of all crashes with MultiCommander is because of 3rd party shell extensions.. This fix should prevent MultiCommander from crashes when a shell extensions crashes.

You can now enabled an extra confirmation box when doing copy/delete/move. that say  You are about to delete 100GB. Sure you want to delete.. (or copy if you are doing copy)
Yes very annoying. But IF you want this. you have to enable in the core settings in the FileSystem tab. It is NOT on by defaut.
I don't see many want this. However. There is other settings for this.."Use rules" for this feature.

This allows you do define some rules when you want to show this.. Like If you delete from H:\* and totalsize is over 200G . Or if you delete files from C:\Windows..  Then you might was to show this extra warning.
But to use the rules you have to edit the ConfirmationRules.xml config file manually. There is no editor. and it is not planed for one. Not now.

Build 3032+
MCPictureViewer - The internal picture viewer has change from a 3rd party image component that is abandoned and not supported anymore to be using WIC (Windows Imaging Component).
WIC is using installed codec in Windows to decode and encode images. and as default on Windows more formats are supported then the old code.
Also the drawing of the images are now done using Direct2D instead of GDI, Allowing for better and faster rendering.

Currently the new MCPictureViewer support almost all the features that the old one did. Some are missing like changing brightness, HUE and so.
They might be added if needed.
Also some new features are planed. So If you have any features you would like to have in the picture viewer. lets me know and I will take them under consideration.

If you tweaked the FileType setup. Like changed what files type the viewer should react to. You might need to reset that.
To reset the FileType setup for Viewers. then go to Menu > Configuation > FileType Setup > Viewer (Tab)
And then press Reset. Then you will get several entries for MCPicture viewer. The supported file types times are split into different section
So that you easily can just remove one if needed.

Changes to Picture Viewer
* Now using WIC. More formats supported. both for viewer and converting. (Type ":wicformats" in commandline field to get a list of formats your machine support)
* Images are rendered with Direct2D. However it is rendered in a way to improve quality.  There will be a setting to disabled this so it can render pixel perfect so you see pixels.
* Picture Window has a toolbar most common commands for easy access. Some icons are not correct yet

Know Issues
* Some zoom issue that make the image jump a bit.
* If rotating a jpg in the viewer and then saving. Image is recodoed when saving.
  If the only modification is a rotate then a lossless rotate can be done

* Some icons are wrong
* Auto rotate, is not rotating when opening according to exif information
* Add Support for Encoding of WebP format, creating WebP is not supported by WIC (decoding "viewing" is) (Pushed for next release)

New script function
FindFirstFileEx

FindFirstFileEx( <str> path, <str> options)

Options can be a comma separated list with
DBG - Show debug info in Appication log window
SUBFOLDERS - Scan all subfolders
ONLYFILENAME - Return only the filename, else whole path is returned
IGNOREFOLDERS - Ignore folders. Only search for a matcning File

Beta Releases / MCWebAccess (Experimental Extension)
« on: August 26, 2024, 10:48:22 »
MCWebAccess is an experimental extension that enables you to access files shared via MC directly from a web browser.

What Problem Does It Solve?
Imagine you're working on your laptop and need to quickly share a file with a colleague or friend. Normally, you might use Windows file sharing, but this comes with challenges:
  • Network Restrictions: If you're not on the same network, you may need to configure settings that can be complex or cumbersome.
  • Corporate Firewalls: Corporate firewalls or administrative restrictions might block file-sharing features, making it difficult or impossible to share files this way.
  • File Size Limitations: Emailing large attachments often isn't feasible due to size limitations.
  • Cloud Services Blocked: Cloud storage might be blocked by corporate policies, or transferring large files can be slow.
  • USB Stick Hassles: You might resort to using a USB stick, but this isn't always convenient or practical.

MCWebAccess addresses these issues by providing an easier way to share files within your local network. When you start the extension, it hosts a local web server, allowing your colleague or friend to access shared files using a browser. Although you might need to open the incoming port on your computer, this is typically simpler than configuring Windows file sharing.

Additionally, MCWebAccess makes it easy to transfer larger files between your phone and computer over Wi-Fi, eliminating the need for USB cables.

Important Limitations - READ THIS
  • Local Network Only: MCWebAccess is designed exclusively for sharing files within a local network. It is not intended for internet-based file sharing.
  • Security Risks: Currently, there is no login or authentication mechanism, making it unsuitable for use over the internet. Running the extension on an internet-connected device poses significant security risks.
  • Early Experimental Version: This is a very early, experimental version of the extension, aimed at identifying which features to add in future updates. It is not intended to be left running unattended.

Note: Do not use MCWebAccess if your computer is directly connected to the internet. It is meant to be used only on a local network.


Download
v0.1 (x64 only) Download (Minimum required MC build 3026)

Install
* Unpack into Extension folder
* Restart MultiCommander
* Menu > Extension > MCWebAccess
* Drag folder / file to should be available to the "virtual workspace"
* Press the start button to start listening for web access , By default on port 9001. (can be changed.)  http:\\127.0.0.1:9001

Leave Feedback
Please leave feedback if these extension would be useful for you. What features you want and so on.
This is a very early experimental version. There are lots of things that can be added. But I do not want to spend time on features that is not needed.
So what features do you need ?
If I don't get any feedback this extension might be scraped for public release.
I created this to solve a problem for me, and I can live with very limited features and bugs.


TODO
 * Add virtual folder.
 * Add Permission to if upload or download should be allowed.
 * Add so it only accepts connect from some IPs
 * Better Web UI (react ?. Already using WebSockets for upload)
 * Lots more.

A new Experimental feature that probably only I myself have used for is ** Scriptable Columns. **

You can now create a MultiScript that will be used to get what should be shown in a column in the file list.
Add configure Scriptable filepropertys go to Column Customization (Right click on column header)
then at the side of the available columns. there is a script button.
Use this button to create a new file property (column) and connect it with a MultiScript.

Right now there is NO RESTRICTION on what the MultiScript can do when it runs for getting Column text.
But the script will be run for EACH folder and files in the file list where the column is shown.
So, if you have a MultiScript that execute an external program. this program will be executed for all items.
And that is probably not a good idea.. So be careful what script you connect.

When connect a Column with a MultiScript you select what input and output variables in the script it should use.
The Input variable in the variable that will be added with the value of the full path to the file.
Output variable it the variable that the result will be stored in.

To be able to create and debug the script easier.
You check now check if a variable exists, and if not it can be added.
This way. You can easy test the script in ther MultiScript Debugger.

Example of script that will just show the file extension in a column.


Code: [Select]
if(IsVariableDefined("$_FILEPROP_FILEPATH") == 0)
{
  @var $_FILEPROP_FILEPATH = GetTargetFocusPath();
}

@var $ext = PathGetFileExtPart($_FILEPROP_FILEPATH);

@var $_FILEPROP_DISPLAYNAME = $ext;

So to test this.
 * Create new MultiScript and paste in the code above. And save it
 * Go to Customize columns (right click on column header)
 * Click on Script button to add/edit Scritable columns
 * Click New. and then select the script you created, set Name and save.. then close.
 * The new column should now be shown in the list. You can filter on Scriptible and you find it easier.
 * Add the new column to current layout
 Save and close Window

Major Changes
  • New Error Handing system for file operations (Copy/Move/Delete) (Auto handle errors and show error result after operation)
  • Scriptable Columns
  • Play Audio files

File Operation Error Handing

File operations error handing have been totally changed.. You can now configure how File Already exists error should be handle.. (Overwrite options)
and you can also configure how Protected Files should be handle.. (Files with Hidden / System or ReadOnly file attributes.)
Other errors are not auto handled. but you can enable to skip error. then it will skip when other errors happened.
And if Show Result is enabled you get a dialog showing what errors happened and how they was handle..

The thing is that MC support many different types of FileOperation.. File normal device to normal device, To virtual device, To network, To FTP and so on.
So many different situation and I'm not sure all of them work with the auto handle and auto skip on error.

So please report any issue you see.

Announcements and News / MultiCommander v13.0
« on: July 20, 2023, 13:13:45 »

After a long delay v13 is finally released.

There is not a massive amount of fixes.. The delay is because I have not had so much time to spend on MultiCommander.
It is because I have moved to a new home. And then I needed to renovate and fix that places. And to save money I been doing most of the renovating my self. So most of my free time have gone to that.
But that is soon over, And then I will have more time to spend on MultiCommander again.

Not many new things. (I been very busy and have not had much time to spend on MC)
But there is some new features, The big one is the Data Preview Panel. It is like the Hover Data Preview but instead of showing data preview in a hover window, it will be shown in a panel.
Also you can now drag and drop files on a tab header to make that tab go to that location and if dropped in empty tab area a new tab is opened.

Announcements and News / New WebPage (But still the same)
« on: February 23, 2023, 11:56:16 »
The Webpage is now rebuilt. https://multicommander.com , It should look almost the same.

Before it was running using a CMS system called Drupal,  But using a CMS system like that was overkill for a simple page like that.
so now it is way simpler. And also easier for me to maintain and update and it also support HTTPS now.

I tried to keep the same layout and style. But there are some changes.
If you find any issues please report it.

The documentation page of the website is now moved to static pages so they will go up on GitHub (https://github.com/MultiCommander/MultiCommander-Documentation) so it will be easier to update and to accept contributions to the documentation, Some parts of the documentation is missing and some parts are not 100% correct anymore :) I my time is limited.
