Support and Feedback / Re: Foldersize wrong if folder contains very long paths

« on: March 28, 2025, 11:12:32 »

I'm not able to test it at the moment..

But to get this right.
Folder sizing show wrong size on network path that are extra long ( Longer then 255char ) ?

Long path support is supported. but it might fail on some places. since not all windows API support it.
I know it worked before. But folder sizing has been reworked since then.
But it can most likely be fixed if it is an issue. I will check tomorrow

The date/time is the same. A Timestamp that a file has in NTFS is the number of 100-nanosecond intervals that have elapsed since 12:00 A.M. January 1, 1601 (UTC).
So Time and Date are not set separate. it is one very big value.

So a step further: When I now change the time on that Jan. 5 file to 2:47p, the "correct" time of 1:47 displays (the time I entered).

But what happens when we go on standard time? I think it will say the wrong time (2:47).

And therefore, I think the rule is... when I enter a new time, the current regime (DST vs. Standard) will control rather than the date on the file.

"Adjust for DST" is only for display in filelist.
The problem is that local time is used when settings the timestamp. Sometimes you might want to use the date from the specified timestamp.
Problem is if it should use date from the timestamp to set. and then viewing it.. it would be wrong if DST did not match with local.
Maybe a checkbox in the Set filetime dialog that lets you decided.. but then we got more advanced option that people will not understand.

The problem is no matter what you do there are senarios where it shows wrong. If you really need exact time always. then go for showing time in UTC.

DST/Timezone are tricky.. there are even special timestamp ranges in local time that is impossible to convert to UTC
(When you switch the clock back.. at 02:59 -> 02:00   that day. the local time is 02:00 -> 02:59 twice, )

Beta Releases / 15.2 Beta 3078

« on: March 27, 2025, 07:25:34 »

v15.2 betaC ( Build 3078 ) - 2025-02-04

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.

So the dates are 5-Jan . och not 1 May?

I'm not able to reproduce it.

Since the different is 1h it look like a DST issue.  But unless you are in australia (or south america), you should not have DST in Januari.
What dates do you get if you uncheck "adjust datetime for DST"

Hmm are you in a timezone that already entered DST ? then when you set the time 1:47 the time really is 12:47 when you remove the DST..   So Showing it as 12:47 because adjust for DST is enabled, so it removed the DST of the time since 5-January does not have DST.

NTFS stores the dates as UTC.  then for viewing the timezone and possible DST is added.

A wait I think that is the famous Daylight saving issue.

All file dates are stored in the file system as UTC (except Fat32..and some other old filesystem)
When a date is shown the date is normally translated your timezone plus DTS (daylight saving).

Problem is that when you view a date that is 1-May 2025 11:00, (Summer time, DST) but you view in during normal time (NO DST)

Should the date be shown with or without DST. both are correct. depending on view point.

In Exploer Panel settings. under Date / Time format. There is an option for "Adjust datetime for DST"

The columns.. are both the date columns the extended columns ? or are modified the standard "date" column. ?
If you enable the standard date column and extended date modified column, do they show same or different time ?

If it is extended modified date column.. Have you forced a refresh ?,  A lot of the extended column will cache there values.. and a force refresh will reload them

Also the filesystem is normal NTFS ? or mapped to network share ? or FAT32/FatEx filesystem ?

Have you right clicked on column header and selected "save current layout as default" ?

Also make sure option "Auto-fit columns to view width" is off. Since this will auto change the sizes.

If you right click on column header and select "save current layout as default" it will try to always use that size.
