You running 3rd party app that replaces windows theme ? Because that does not look like what MC drawn by default, Guess that the font you use are to small.. You can tweak and add extra height to a row in Explorer panel settings under Tweaking

Yeah it was due to the fonts, sorry for the false report… Everything is working properly. I'll let you know if I run into any issues once I've customized it… I use WindowBlinds 10 on Windows 10 (for the dark theme.) 8)

I noticed something, when I close all Tabs in the Panel, then open an Explorer Panel, my Column Layout Sorting gets reverted to "Name" when it's always been "Date" (Descending). This doesn't happen in V16 though, it remembers the Column Layout Sorting. Could you fix this maybe, (it's a little annoying) ? Otherwise Column Layout is working brilliantly without a hitch. Can you make the Sorting Column persistent across when all tabs have been closed and reopening a Tab ?
# 2
As for the Color Rules Editor, that is fixed now too, but the first time I made a Rule, when I was picking a color it wasn't selecting/ picking a new color (from the Color Picker), I had to edit the Hex Color editbox & then close and re-open it but now it's working (doesn't get link to parent and is a separate entity; all good)…

Thank you Mathias, I'am happy to announce the Column Layout seems to be fixed —I'am ecstatic !!! :D Also there's a glitchy Gridlines that need to be fixed, it's drawing on top of the Checkboxes & folder items.
P.S: It could be because I didn't customize the font yet…
P.P.S: It's looking normal after customizing the fonts, but I don't know if it should draw over the Checkboxes like that

Beta Releases / MC V17 Early Access PREVIEW 3
« Last post by Mathias (Author) on Yesterday at 15:17:43 »
Preview #2

----------------------------
Version 17 is not ready for stable release anytime soon, But it already has a lot of new things that need testing

Not everything added to v17 might be included in the final release.
v17 contain many MAJOR rewrites and new addition.

  • File Tags/Labels and comments system
  • Folder Specific settings
  • New Keyboard customization system
  • Total rewrite of List/Grid UI component used for File List view, FolderTree view, Most List/Grid UI componets. Without this rewrite all the 3 items above would not be possible
  • MultiFileViewer can now show CSV/Parquet files as data in a grid. and if it is CSV it can be edited and modified and saved backed
  • Some extension in MC can now be developed using .Net/C#
  • Checksum extension now support Blake3 checksum algorithm

This is a early preview. Since it is a early preview it is time locked. and will stop to work after sep-30. (but a new updated version will be out.. )
However it will not be possible to auto update this version until in reached beta. there might be more 16.x releases with fixes before this is officially out

Since this is early preview. NOW is the time to come with feedback you want something to change. How a features with file tags or folder specific settings works or something like that.

Since this preview is developed separately from v16.x, When a new preview is released, it might not have all the fixes or addition that 16.x has. Right not V17 Preview has everything 16.2 build 3205 has. (I think)

however there are some changes around the column layout already added to the preview.. I thought that was already added to preview2. maybe it was not.  Maybe should release a preview3

Thank you so much, Mathias ! You are truly a godsend !! ;D

It is still impossible for me to fix something I can't reproduce, All I can do is write done a note about it and keep and eye out for it when/If I see it happening.

Can't you add an option to permanently lock the columns into a fixed [current] size please, that would make my life a whole lot easier ! It's so hard to make adjustments to every tab I open all the time… Because I can't use MC in its current state, it's too cumbersome & painstaking to re-adjust the columns when they spontaneously change size in every tab ! :D
I don't understand why you need to do that. I have no issue with it. I set column setup once. save as default and then it is that when I reopen it.

Support and Feedback / Re: MC shuts down when copy pasting files
« Last post by Mathias (Author) on September 25, 2026, 08:45:58 »
that is not a issue that has been reported before. Sound like something keeps a hold on the files before they let MC continue with them.. Maybe the security software is checking the files.
When it crash, Does it sends a crash report.. and if it does , tell me the crash Id and I can investigte the crash manually..
if it hangs..
Do this to create a dump of MC when it hang.
https://multicommander.com/Docs/troubleshooting-hang#creating-dump

and upload at https://multicommander.com/support/upload

Then I might see in the dump file what MC is waiting for

Support and Feedback / MC shuts down when copy pasting files
« Last post by Schoenend00s on September 25, 2026, 08:19:12 »
Dear reader. I'm using MC for a long time, but since half a year I discover problems when I copy files of maps from one map to another. MC freezes and shuts down eventually. When I restart MC, the files have always been copied succesfully.

Does anyone know what the problem here could be? Thanks in advance.
