When you activate MC it will refresh the filelist. And after sleep network connection has gone done..
So If MC is showing a network shares, Then it will take a while before Windows timeout and lets MC know that it is not available anymore. And if it is available it can takes some time because Windows need to login and initialize a new connection to the server (but that of often quite fast)
You can turn off so MC does not auto refresh when you active the MC app.. Then you might have a chance to navigate away to some other location.
However. It will prevent some automatic refresh of the filelist view in MC.
Core Settings > FileSystem(tab) > Tweaking.
Then Uncheck "FileSystem Refresh > "Refresh tabs when application focus is returned"

I find no issue deleting folders with readonly attribures. MC will try to remove the readonly/system attributes that normally prevents deletes when deleting.
So I can't replicate it

I don't have FF. I can't reproduce that.
There was no error before that, that it failed to delete some files in the folder ? Is the folder empty?
Is the folder a real folder ? or special virtual files that FF hook into to do special stuff with?

Then there must still be some file or folder inside, and it can't delete it because it is not empty.
Probably some files or subfolder that it was not able to delete because of some reason. Normally you get an error dialog about that. Unless you told it to continue on error.. Anyway the FileOperation log should have printed out the error

The Syntax file is not replaced if you had some changes to the file.. to avoid overriding user changes..
But if you press the "*" button there. It will reset all of them..

I don't understand.
If you select to view the filelist in detail mode it will switch the view to detail view. You say automatic, But selecting it to show the filelist as detail list is a manual things so what is automatic ?
You want it to automatically know when you want it in detaul vs listmode and select that by it self ?

So if Auto Size columns is off then the column sizes are fixed and do not auto resize.. They are locked.

So if you turn off "AutoFit columns to view width" in Explorer Panel Settings. Then resize the column and select "Save current layout as default"
Then columns will not auto size. and if they do not fit in view you get a scroll bar

« on: June 07, 2025, 10:37:06 »
Not able to reproduce it. But it sounds like a race condition. That it builds the menu before it has finished loading the TabSession data.
That can happend because during startup MC loads lots of things in parallell. And TabSession is loaded a lot sooner than building the menu. But since things are happening in parallell, then maybe on a system with less cores it takes longer for it to load it and it reach building menu too soon.
There should be a check for it so it waits. But sounds like it missing in some situation. I will check.
Sined they are visible in the Manage Session Windows.. They should pop back if you do something that will re-save them. Because then it will trigger a rebuild of the session menu.

« on: June 02, 2025, 10:02:18 »
Hmm problem is that MC does not have much of control over what is added there
MC creates a Popup Menu. Then tells the Windows to fill it with items. according to the list of file items that are also sent to it.
Since there is a reg hack to add this to Windows Explorer. It might be that explorer is also adding this manual to the list. and not via the shell context menu system.
MC might be able to too that. But then it will be under the MultiCommander menu. But currently I have no idea how to do that 'manually'

Support and Feedback / Re: New Aliases Don't Retain Their Sorting Order
« on: May 27, 2025, 22:03:11 »Clicking on the Alias Column Field to sort Aliases alphabetically and then hitting apply doesn't make MC remember the sorted Aliases. However moving them Up/Down does make them persistent. Can you please fix the Sorting By Column so they retain their alphabetical sort order ? Right now all my new Aliases are displayed at the bottom & I have to re-sort them Alphabetically by clicking on the Alias Column Field everytime. Please do something about this… At first I thought my Aliases got corrupt so I deleted all my Aliases.XML entries after making a backup, then I deleted all my new User Defined Commands Scripts after backing them up, this issue is still prevalent though.
P.S: When I manually edit the Aliases.XML & move the entries, the Order is maintained but not when clicking Alias Alphabetical Column Field and clicking Apply !
Alias are resolved from top to bottom. So sorting them will mess that up.. BUT unless you got multiple aliases with same name (different parameters count and such) it does not matter.. So supporting multiple might not be needed, Then sorting them also does not matter

Unlocker ?
Return and "open" should be the same. both send the list of files to Windows and tell it to "open" them. MC don't really have much control over what Windows does. normally they are opened using what the file type is associated with.
I can't replicate any difference from right click open or return key.
I check what is different in the code. But they should the same

Support and Feedback / Re: Server Busy Warning in 7Zip & Store Edition
« on: May 24, 2025, 10:26:34 »
Did some checking.. Why it is not support is because 7z does not support appending files to an 7z archive
When you in 7zip add a file to an existing 7z it will rebuild the entire 7z file. Unpack the existing file into the new and then add the newly dropped file.
If you modify a file called myfiles.7z you will see that 7zip create a new myFiles.7z.tmp , and if successful the old is delete and the tmp is renamed to the name of the original file

1. When you drop a file into another application MC must wait until the dropping application has release the drop request. what 7Zip really should do is to see that is a DROP of file refereces.. and just takes them and release the drop. and continue. But they are not.
I do not get a crash.. But MC can crash because you are trying to do lots of things with ti while it is waiting and when the wait is over it tries to do a lot of things at the same time
Adding files to an existing 7Z is currently not supported. There was some issue with that, But t is on the list
2. Safe yes, Difference is that store edition is a bit behind the version on the site, because it is messier and require more to get it up there. But the plan is to update Store edition also when next version is release ( 15.5 )

If you enable that option for the script, it will be run once for each file that is selected.
and for each iteration {FocusFilePath} will be the next file of all the selected.

P.S: Wait, will making a User Defined Command to hotlink the file work ? Nvm, I'll stick to using a shortlink .LNK.
You can also create a UserDefinedCommand that start it, and then call the UDC from alias using ID of the script. .Just out a @ in front of the id
Like @6d35f84f73a74dfbb16ca370ccb625f7
Maybe can add so a special character first of the command tells it to use the command paths as working folder.. like maybe "$" instead of "!", I check if that possible
