Beta Releases / MultiCommander SE v6.9.1 (BETA) (Store Edition)
« on: February 23, 2017, 09:02:29 »
MultiCommander SE v6.9.1 (BETA)

What is SE?
SE stands for Store Edition.
It is a version of MultiCommander that is available from Microsoft's AppStore on Windows 10
The SE edition is in BETA, It does not say so in the App (since the AppStore did not allow for that).
And it is really beta because the technology in Windows that allow for this to work also is beta.
You actually need to the Cumulative Update for Windows 10 1607 that was release in January 2017 install, or there will be issues when browsing the network.

The difference from the normal version of the SE is that there are a few limitations with the SE version
and, some advantages.

Limitation in SE edition
One guarantee Microsoft have for Desktop apps that are install from the app store is that when they are uninstalled,
Everything they have written to the registry and its apps folder and data is removed.
So, to be able to guarantee this all registry writes a program makes will be virtualized per app.
This also make it that registry changes one app makes is not seen by another app/program, AppStore app or normal.

This affect the Virtual FileSystem plugin FS-Reg in MultiCommander, this plugin allows you to handle the registry as a file system.
But since all writes that are done are not seen by any other program, it limits with FS-Reg can do.
There the FS-Reg plugin will in the SE edition be read-only. You will not be able to change the registry, since all the changes will only be visible for MultiCommander.
Not for another program.

Also Microsoft is virtualizing some path for the same reason. And that is the app data folder. ( C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\ )
Anything a app writes to that folders is removed at uninstall.
Right now, MultiCommander do not prevent you from changing files here.
But In the future, it might because the changes that MultiCommander is doing there is only seen by MultiCommander SE (Store Edition) and
will be removed when MultiCommander SE (Store Edition) is uninstalled

However, this can bug out a bit sometimes. Microsoft still got some bugs around this.
The UWP Bridge (the technology in Windows that makes Desktop app works in a Store context is still in beta )

So do not use MultiCommander SE (Store Edition) if you need to modify the registry from within MultiCommander
or if you are Removing/Adding files in C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\


Advantages

  Right now there is not many :)

 * You can download it from the store. So even if my own website goes down you can still get it , also better security since MS test the app for viruses and bad behavior
 * Automatic update from the store. And the Windows AppStore got more bandwidth and can deliver updates betters.
 * MultiCommander SE can in the future use feature in Windows to make its settings sync to the cloud so if you run it on multiple machines they sync settings.
 * MultiCommander SE can in the future use features Windows that now only the appstore app have access to.
 * Can in the future version use Action center, Notification, and such. But no real plan for that yet
 * Better security, if something bad should happen to MultiCommander (If I get hacked and they insert bad code into MC), Microsoft can then revoke the app and it is uninstall from everybody.
     


Why ?

  Well Why not. I wanted to see if it was possible and it only cost my very little time.
  (This was done in October 2016, but because of bugs in Windows with the UWP Bridge I decided not to publish it yet)
  There is not real code changes from the normal version, Mostly it is that the SE edition code some code disabled
  Like the Registry plugin is read-only, and Self Update is turned off, and configuration is saved in the correct path for StoreApps.

Get and Test it?
You need Windows 10 1607
then yo can go to https://www.microsoft.com/sv-se/store/p/multicommander-se-store-edition/9nblggh4nfs5
or just search for MultiCommander in the Windows AppStore


For issues that are unique to the Store Edition please send me a mail or post a in this forum.

I notice one thing over the year.
Almost all support email from users that uses gmx.de as domain will almost always bounce back with the error "mailbox unavailable"

So If you send a support request (Feedback from inside MC or from the Website form) and have a email address from the gmx.de domain and you do not get a answer from me.
Then post the question on the forum instead

Beta Releases / Multi Commander 6.4 Alpha 2
« on: July 12, 2016, 19:17:20 »
Multi Commander 6.4 Alpha 2

Another Alpha release. Please test and report any issue around file system scanning and update of filesystem.

As said for Alpha1, the biggest change is the new file system scanning. and that is goes in the background.
read more it here

New in this Alpha is that the new file system scanning is now ON by default.
You have to opt-out of it in settings if you have any issue, then it uses the old way. (Before it was opt-in and some users missed that)

Also you can enable a new log tab, that log the filesystem scanning and such. However the log can be very talky.
so only enable it if you need to troubleshoot something.

Also the Alpha does not work on WinXP

When testing..
One thing to think about is that since the filesystem scanning is running in the background, there is a small time window
between when the filescanning is started and the UI is updated, and during this time the UI is not locked.
In most situations this time is so short so you will not notice it.
But you CAN (in theory) issue another command during that time (if you are really really fast.)
However most commands in the Explorer Panel is locked down during this period. But I might have missed some.
So if you notice that you can do anything strange, or something, Let me know.

(Btw FolderTree panel is NOT using this. It is still using the old blocking filesystem scanning.. So no need to report that :) )

Portable downlaods for v6.4.0.2199 ALPHA2
Portable - 64bit
Portable - 32bit

** If you test this release - Please report any issues you find around scanning the file system here or send me a mail **

Beta Releases / Multi Commander 6.4 Alpha
« on: July 03, 2016, 15:59:41 »
This alpha release contains some minor bugs fixes.
But the biggest change is that the whole file system scanning process have been refactored and remodeled.
The file system scanning process is one of the oldest part of MC and over time features have been added to that process to support more things.
It made the file system scanning process and updates of filesystem caches more and more complex.
So much that it needed to be restructured, to get a better view of it and to be able to fix some issues.
Before the file system scanning was semi asynchronous (it was running it background, But the UI parts was still responsible for some parts.)
Also in some situation it was not possible to run it completely the background, like when doing recursive scanning ( Like when showing filesystem in flat mode)

Now the file system scanning process is almost completely a asynchronous process. And recursive scanning (flat mode) will now also be running in the background and in flat mode you can also abort the scanning with the ESC key.

Know issues..
* There are some edge cases/situation left to fix. That can make a panel lock up and not scan anymore (I think it is waiting for a scan to complete.) But it is rare and only for special situations.
* Also if you really hammer it hard and cancel/start scan.. it can come into a situation where it crashes MC..  rare.. but not impossible..

There is a settings in Explorer Panel tweak setting where you can enable/disable this new scanning and if disabled again it will then go back to the old way..

Because this is early Alpha I did not want to push it out via the normal Beta channel that automatically update MC if you that checked.
It need more tested before it is sent out.
