You cant assign PageUP/Down or they do not work after you assigned ?

When I assign Ctrl + Page Up\ Page Down it appears invisible in the List (see screenshot:)

File color editing has not been change at all. I don't really understand the issues.. only shows white ? what is shown white..

I'll test on a fresh copy & let you know, but I suspect it's yet another "Quick Look & Feel" setting gone wrong once again. Nope even on a new copy of MC it's still acting up (see screenshot:) To answer your earlier question: Selecting a Background Color for my Color Rule it only showed White in the Color Picker dialog (but this might be a result of not being able to select a New Color Rule.)

Re: I found a workaround for not being able to edit a New Color Rule: If you make 2 New Color Rules, one of them becomes Editable/ Selectable and you can just rename it & keep it, and delete the second one !

P.S: Also, in V17, creating a new Column Layout, then adding "C:\ D:\ etc." with "Valid For All Future Paths" 'causes the Sorting Column to be unspecified/ reset on Startup (I had it set to "Date Ascending" but it's unsorted everytime I launch it.) Only way to fix this (similar to V16.2, is to have only the "[Default]" Column Layout and use that (though you can't assign it "C:\ D:\ etc." with "Valid For All Future Paths"

P.P.S: Everything is working splendid now, just gotta resize the height of the "Keyboard Customization" dialog. Also I'am happy to report I don't see the "File Column Header" shrinking randomly as it was before in V16.2 but I'll test further. Thanks Mathias ! & yeah clicking close on the "Keyboard Customization" dialog & selecting "Yes" has no effect (should fix this.) One more thing: Ctrl + PageUp\ PageDown aren't recognizable as valid hotkeys (for instance, Previous Tab\ Next Tab) !

P.P.PS: The File Coloring Rules Editor is very buggy in V17, I tried making new Rules & they would not select (after a lot of hassle I was able to select the new Rule & move it to the top), & sometimes clicking on a Color in the Color Picker dialog has no effect (only shows white, then when dragging the slider it finally works.) This might be because I changed from "Windows Explorer Style Colors" to "Commander Style Colors" (I'am not certain.)

So what did you do before that did not work ?

I selected vanilla "Windows Explorer" style, but it's working properly now, it was oversight on my part.

Hmm Strange.. for me it works.  Hmm are you running Windows Explorer style mouse/keyboard setup ? Then context menu is then on normal right click. Might be that they collide in the new UI List view

Yes I will look into this, maybe on "Commander Mouse/ Keyboard" setting it's not displaying the Right-click menu !!

will check so that is really save after close on X button.

Alright that'll be great !

P.S: Oh you're right, selecting "Commander Style" "Mouse" on "Quick Look & Feel" shows the "File Column Header" Right-click menu !!! Perhaps you could fix this bug so that even in "Windows Explorer" style "Mouse" the "File Column Header" is right-clickable !

@Mathias,
Concerning keyboard customization dialog. It can be reduced.

1. For example, "Assigned shortcuts" list is simply duplicates main list info but it consumes a lot of space with only 3 columns. The primary "*" symbol can be printed in the main list.

2. As far as I can see, "Origin" only has two possible values - "Custom" and "Default". So this column can be removed, and default hotkey can instead be printed bold in the main list. It is also actual because of an issue: if you add a secondary shortcut to the default one, the Origin becomes "Custom" for both.

3. "Conflicts" memo only shows conflicts when I try to assign a conflicting shortcut. But if I actually do it, then they will not be shown if I later select this shortcut in the main list. So the conflicts can be shown as a warning icon in the main list, and the full list of conflicts -- in the separate dialog.

4. Changing a shortcut can be moved to a separate dialog.

1. Well you can define multiple keys to same command. And from this list you can remove one of them, The the list does not need to be full width.. then some of the buttons can be moved after it instead

2.Yes the columns will be tweaked.. right now all of them are show most for debug reasons.

3. I will check how conflicts can be improved

4. Yes,, But I would like to see if I can have everything in one dialog. that is a backup plan

Issue #2, I resolved it by selecting "Commander Dark Mode" in "Quick Look & Feel" dialog, so that's fine now (gotta remember to select "Commander Dark Mode" as Color theme on first-time startup).

So what did you do before that did not work ?

Issue #1, Yeah it does not popup the File Column Header right click menu (see screenshots, possibly the only bug, the rest are cosmetic glitches, so just need to fix this, I got V17 today & it refuses to launch the "Customize Columns" or rest of its special menu items):

Hmm Strange.. for me it works.  Hmm are you running Windows Explorer style mouse/keyboard setup ? Then context menu is then on normal right click. Might be that they collide in the new UI List view

Issue #4, The height seems to fit the full screen, maybe a little shorter height might let me click the "Save" button. When I click the Close X button it says do you want to save, I selected "Yes", but the "Up Arrowkey" isn't designated the "Parent folder" Shortcut, so that's odd. But I think it should be resolved if it's narrower in height. Width is fine by the way.

will check so that is really save after close on X button.

1. ? What issue do you get,, I find no issue with right click on column header and select customize columns .. "just opens standard Right-click menu"  You mean the shell context menu ?
2.  I run it in dark mode all the time.. even more dialog support darkmode then before. how do you switch. what is happening ? any error in app log ?
4. Yes dialog is large. Hmm need to present lots of information in that dialog. I see if I can squeeze it a bit..

(4) The "Keyboard Shortcut Customization" dialog box is a little too big for my screen (the height (1366x768)), I suspect it's not showing the "Save" button, but if there is no such button, then this is Okay. I was unable to change the shortcut of "Parent Folder (Go Up)" from "Back" to "Alt+Up Arrowkey".

I was able to bind "Parent folder (Go Up)" to Alt+Up, but maybe you failed because you was not able to press "save" button

It the problem with the dialog the height ? or is it also the width ?

I found some bugs in V17:
(1) Cannot right click the File Column Header to select "Customize Columns" (plus rest of the custom options for this right-click menu don't trigger (just opens standard Right-click menu)). Maybe this isn't implemented yet ?
(2) Selecting "Dark Color Theme" doesn't work (so no dark skinned Aliases/ UDC/ Settings or Toolbar) for me (I selected Explorer Look & Feel maybe that's why) —works on my V16.2 though.
(3) I tried making a Filter Rule to highlight a Folder in Red background color, the same as I do in V16.2, but it didn't display it, the Color Filter Rule (made both a Filter Rule and Color Rules Editor entry.) "Full Filename 'Is' Logs (File Matching), Standard-Path 'Is' C:\Users\dell\Downloads\Logs (Plugin Extended Properties)" Oops Color Filters is indeed working, sorry —made a mistake in entering the correct path !
(4) The "Keyboard Shortcut Customization" dialog box is a little too big for my screen (the height (1366x768)), I suspect it's not showing the "Save" button, but if there is no such button, then this is Okay. I was unable to change the shortcut of "Parent Folder (Go Up)" from "Back" to "Alt+Up Arrowkey".

Tested on Win 10.
