Beta Releases / Re: Create new Folder (F7) does nothing after updating to beta

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on Today at 21:51:45 »

I am using MC in the Beta version, and since a few updates, "Makedir(F7)" in the Button Panel no longer works. It is simply dead. No response at all. I find this very unfortunate. Perhaps a fix?

Is it only the button on the button panel. ?  Do the Actual F7 key works ? The Create Folder icon on the toolbar ?  Menu > Tools Create Folder ?

Do all places not work. or only some ?

STEP #10:
Press F7 to create a new folder on my local C: drive under my DOWNLOADS folder.  Nothing happens. No prompt. No dialog pops up. Nothing.


In the stable release, you can press F7 (MakeDir) get this dialog (see attachment).  For example, after I press F7 then I can type in ZZZ and click OK and a new folder called ZZZ is created.  In the beta, I am not prompted for anything. I did a clean install, too. How/where do I access the log?


Not sure what you're talking about dots. Sometimes after I preview/post here, the forum editor scrambles the content. I had to edit and remove the formatting then reapply the numbered list format.

Have you tried without restoring backup ?  maybe there are some configuration conflict, Just Download portable version and start it and without customizing anything.. does that work ?

Nope, can confirm F7 to Create Folder works perfectly for me —tested in Build 3176 Portable Edition (Win 10 Enterprise.)
Nice work on the Icon Override issue, Mathias, also works as expected !
Under Configuration > Keyboard Customization > Select "Explorer Panel", you should see the entry "Create Folder" and assigned to "F7" hotkey.

I can't reproduce that, work how every I do... There is a new create folder dialog, but it was there in last beta too so it been in for a month and no one else have reported any issue. So don't get how that can NOT work for you. what is special with your setup ?
Does the toolbar makedir button work ? Makedir button on the button bar ?

If you do Ctrl+L and look in the file operation log (or it can also be app log, if it is UI related).. is there any message there. ? all failure it run into should be logged.

Ahh it is a list.. Font is changed to be 2px in the list , 2 px font look like dots..

if you in the command line field type ":testtemplatedlg" is that dialog shown ?

Maybe describe the issue . something with creating folders ?? I can't reproduce it.  I can create folder,  Any error in the log ? It is some special location it does not work.. network ? ftp ?

you only have some number with some dot after it..what that suppose to be..  represent some filename ? or something.. I don't get it..

Beta is not bug free. and Not release either.. The fewer people that test and report bug in beta, the more there will be in release. so unless somebody report exactly what is not working. then it will be in the release too, since I can't reproduce it

Beta Releases / Windows Security thinks MC beta contains a virus.

« Last post by Anti-Bacterial on June 23, 2026, 20:13:12 »

I'm using Windows 11 Professional 64 bit.Windows Security thinks MC beta contains a virus. I'm sure it's a false alarm, but it was complaining about an unsigned DLL or some nonsense.

To suppress these alerts about MC, I had to adjust the Windows Virus & threat protection settings as follows:

• Add File exclusion:
  C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\Extensions\MFTools\MFTools.dll

• Add Folder exclusion:
  C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)

Just wanted you to be aware of this.
