NOt built in. but not needed..
MultiScript is using time_t (c /c++ ) time type for date/time..  num of seconds since 1970-01-01
https://multicommander.com/Docs/multiscript/functions/filesystem#getfiletime
https://multicommander.com/Docs/multiscript/functions/datetime

You can just add X seconds to a timestamps and use that with setFileTime

SO if yiu can $currentTime and want to add one minute to that it it is $currentTime += 60;   //add 60 seconds.

if you recorced the crash ID I might see what caused it.

Hmm Strange there is no code in MC that would make MC continue without user answered anything in the confirmation dialog.

Menu > Tools > Picture Tools > Adjust EXIF Date Information.

Here you can adjust the date for image exif metadata. However it changes to new time or adjust exiting time.. it does not insert random times..

If you just want to change file time and not image metadata.. then you can se MutltiScript

in core setting for logging.. for application log , change loglevel to full.. and you will se in more details in the log., often it is becuse it tries to get information about remote devices that is not reachable.

Export is for exporting individual settings. If you want to backup all your settings go to Menu > Help > Backup & restore.

Might be that something is blocking traffic for it. or that it is to old version.   You can try to download portable version of latest version and replace your MulitUpdate.exe in there with that one you have..

Don't know why it does not work for you..

Only issue with that setting is that if MC is already running when you run the command a new instance is not opened. it only pops to the front.. so that setting need to be off for the parameter to work

Hmm wait it is not -t  it is  -T, upper case T

When a tab session is loaded, no focus is set. If you use the Tab key to switch between the panels, the address bar is no longer highlighted, making keyboard-only navigation impossible. Only a mouse click resolves the issue.

This happens with all tab sessions in which more than one tab is saved per panel. The issue does not occur with tab sessions that contain only one tab per panel.

try enable

Explorer Panel Settings → Startup → Delay update on startup until the Explorer Panel is activated

« on: July 18, 2026, 19:54:27 »

OK, I've tried with my config backup restored into fresh MC.
There needs to be sth with configuration. Totally fresh install/portable don't do that, but with my configuration backup restored into them, that problem appears. Even on installed.
 
So, as I asked in the first post - is there any other setting that matters here? I had to overlook something during configuration.

Not that I can think of. So might be some weird none logical conflict between some settings. not sure what that can be

I did some testing, results:

1.  issue affects only the portable version (MC 16.x and 15.x, haven't used earlier versions), tested with Windows 11 Home, Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Pro (user account only for the last one); Full installer version works ok with Windows 10/11 Home, didn't try with W10 Pro.

2. turning "Automatically re-sorts files..." on/off with applying, saving, restarting MC in different combinations doesn't help;

3. there is really strange behavior in portable; steps to reproduce:

Open a folder sorted by Name, with setting "Automatically re-sorts files..." checked on.
1. Rename file A to B.
The file does not move to its correct alphabetical position.
After refreshing the panel, the file immediately moves to the correct position (this step isn't necessary, just as a confirmation of alphabetical sorting).
2. Rename the same file B back to A.
Again, it does not move automatically.
3. Repeat the rename (A -> B) on the same file.
Now the file is repositioned automatically without requiring a refresh.

It appears that after the first renaming (A -> B -> A), Multi Commander "learns" how to update that file position correctly. MC "remembers" that file till you rename something else, then it "forgets" auto-sorting for the given file.

No. Can't reproduce that.. works for me. even with refresh portable.
Is it normal filesystem ? network ? it is almost like something is blocking the filesystem change notification from being sent to MC.

If you in Core settings got to log tab and enable

FileSystem log and set LogLevel to "debug / Full"

then restart and press ctrl+L, and select FileSystem Log ,  Right click and select clear.
the do the rename.

I get
2026-07-18 14:05:42.558 [64308] ChangeNotifications - FILE RENAMED, REMOVE OLD : E:\delme\b.log

Strange. I can't make it not work.
Try turning the option "Automatically re-sort...." Off.. then save setting..  and then turn it back on again and save settings

No. it re-sort for me when I rename a file.. You sure you are sorting on name column ? (I made the mistake my self first to not switch to sort by 'name' )
it is normal filesystem. not inside a virtual one like FTP or something ? can you describe how you do the rename (There are many multiple way to do rename in MC) .

« on: July 15, 2026, 22:26:19 »

Sorry but this is so annoying..  That is kind of important information to provide when talking about move. since Move on same drive is same as Rename.
That is why providing steps to reproduce is important. That would have saved me 2h from trying to find an error when moving on different drives..

If you previous post contained all information I needed then I would be able to reproduce it.
Yes. Different locations.. so not same drive..  I can't reproduce any error when moving to different drives, just like before.

One move issue fix in new version 3195, Not sure if it this issue. Because that was only if moving files on same drive.
