Support and Feedback / Re: Multi Commander startup time is about 70 seconds

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on Today at 09:03:33 »

MC does not handle the network it self. It is all done by Windows. and sometimes Windows does not know if it is available until it tries to access it. and it takes a while before it times out.

Not possible since MC is not handled the network for remote devices it self. it is handled by Windows. and Sometimes windows does not know if the device is available or not, and it takes time for it to check,, It is possible to tweak Windows so it will timeout a lot faster

Support and Feedback / Background Colors Stop Working

« Last post by Kevin Parr on August 10, 2026, 19:49:01 »

I am using MultiCommander version 16.1 build 3200, regular (not portable) version, running under Windows 11 Home version 10.0.26200.

I set background colours for the active and inactive explorer panels (Configuration / Explorer Panel Settings / Colors (tab) / Background / Active panel & Inactive panel) so that there are alternative colour stripes behind the file names.

After a while - a bit random and I haven't timed it specifically - the background colours stop working and the background of the panel is all white. If I close MultiCommander and restart it, the background colours are used again. If I open a new tab, including from a tab where the background colours stopped working, the new tab uses the background colours.

I had the same problem with previous builds of version 16.1. I don't recall it happening with the 15.x versions but (with apologies) I can't say that with 100% confidence.

My computer has 32GB of RAM. Process Explorer shows that about 26GB is in use.

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.

I'm not sure that Multiscript supports "advanced" datetime functions like AddSecond, AddMinute etc. Without them it could be quite messy to take care of different edge cases like day change, year change, leap year etc.

I clicked on the donation option, but it only has PayPal and Bitcoin. Both are really complicated and troublesome for me. I also don't know if enabling WeChat Pay or Alipay would be a hassle for you. After all, the exchange rates are different, so I'm not sure if it's worth it for you. Thanks for your software.
