Support and Feedback / Re: Norton Anti virus File Insight just removed multicommander.exe

Thanks.  I just made a donation, but I forgot to put in my username, rtbailey.
I've been using MC for some time now and I really like it.

Support and Feedback / Re: Norton Anti virus File Insight just removed multicommander.exe

I reported it as a false positive to Norton. 
I restored the program from my nightly backup, and Norton immediately removed it again when I tried to run it.  Now it is telling me I need to restart my computer to continue the removal of security risks.   
I restored MC from my backup and renamed it to multicommander2.exe and was able to run it that way.  Upon running, MC detected it was out of date and wanted to do an update.  The update would not run since it could not find multicommander.exe.  So I restored multicommander.exe from backup and restarted multicommander2.exe again and was finally able to get MC running again. 
I changed the Norton AV settings to not automatically remove threats, so I think I will be OK now.
Hope this helps anyone else who runs into this problem.

Support and Feedback / Norton Anti virus File Insight just removed multicommander.exe

I clicked a custom button that just ran a script that invoked this command:  C:\ProgramFilesPersonal\MultiCommander\MultiCommander.exe /OPEN C:\0-MyShortcuts
This just opens C:\0-MyShortcuts in a new multicommander tab.
Then Norton anti-virus removed multicommander.exe, saying "Reputation Level BAD" and "There are many indications that this file is untrustworthy".
This was a recent release 6.4.2.229.

Is there an issue with multicommander, or is Norton File Insight just wrong??

Support and Feedback / Nothing happens when I click on a drive or top-level directory

« on: August 27, 2014, 01:00:30 »

If I click on C:  or  C:\some_top_dir  nothing happens in the tree view. 
If I click on C:\some_top_dir\sub_dir, then sub_dir gets selected and I see its contents in the file view to the right.
If in the file view of sub_dir, I click on <-..  nothing happens there either.
If I select a drive from the drive dropdown, nothing happens.
So there is no way I can get a listing of my top-level directories .

OH, I SEE THE PROBLEM.  I AM IN A LOCKED TAB.  I SUPPOSE I CAN REMEMBER NOW NOT TO DO THAT,
BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD IF YOU COULD PUT A MESSAGE IN THE HINT BOX OR STATUS LINE IF A
STUPID USER TRIES TO DO WHAT I JUST DID.
