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.)

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

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

So what did you do before that did not work ?

I initially selected the default "Windows Explorer" style, but the issue has been resolved; it was an 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

Regarding the context menu behavior, I will investigate the "Commander Mouse/Keyboard" setting, as it seems the right-click menu may not be displaying correctly in that configuration.

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

That would be appreciated, thank you.

P.S. You're correct—selecting "Commander Style" for "Mouse" in the "Quick Look & Feel" options displays the "File Column Header" right-click menu. It might be beneficial to address this as a bug so that the "File Column Header" remains right-clickable even in "Windows Explorer" style.

P.P.S. The overall functionality is now stable; I just need to resize the height of the "Keyboard Customization" dialog. Also, I’m pleased to report the "File Column Header" no longer shrinks randomly as it did in v16.2—further testing will confirm. Thanks, Mathias! Additionally, clicking "Close" on the "Keyboard Customization" dialog and selecting "Yes" has no effect; this should be addressed.

One more issue: Ctrl + Page Up/Page Down are not recognized as valid hotkeys for actions like "Previous Tab" / "Next Tab."

P.P.PS. The File Coloring Rules Editor appears quite buggy in v17. I encountered issues creating and selecting new rules—sometimes clicking on a color in the Color Picker shows only white, and dragging the slider eventually updates the color. This may be related to switching from "Windows Explorer Style Colors" to "Commander Style Colors," though I haven't confirmed this.

@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..

Issue #2:
Resolved by selecting "Commander Dark Mode" in the "Quick Look & Feel" dialog. The theme now applies correctly. Reminder: ensure to select "Commander Dark Mode" as the color theme on first-time startup to avoid issues.

Issue #1:
The right-click context menu for the File Column Header does not appear (see attached screenshots). This appears to be the only bug; other issues are cosmetic. Additionally, in v17, the "Customize Columns" menu and other special menu items fail to launch. This needs to be addressed.

Issue #4:
The dialog height fits the full screen, but a slightly reduced height might enable clicking the "Save" button more reliably. When clicking the Close (X) button, it prompts to save changes; selecting "Yes" appears to work. However, the "Up Arrow" shortcut is not assigned to the "Parent Folder" action, which is inconsistent. I believe adjusting the dialog height could resolve this. Width is acceptable.

(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.

V17 Bug Report

(1) Right-clicking the File Column Header does not open the "Customize Columns" context menu, nor do other options in this menu trigger; only the default right-click menu appears. Possibly not implemented yet?

(2) The "Dark Color Theme" option has no effect; aliases, UDC, settings, and toolbar remain in light mode. I selected "Explorer Look & Feel" — this was working as expected in V16.2.

(3) Created a filter rule to highlight folders with a red background (similar to V16.2). Initially, rule did not display correctly. After verifying, color filters are functioning properly—my earlier issue was due to an incorrect path entry ("C:\Users\dell\Downloads\Logs"). Correct path works as intended.

(4) The "Keyboard Shortcut Customization" dialog is too large (height-wise) for my 1366x768 display, likely hiding the "Save" button. If no "Save" button exists, this is acceptable. Additionally, I couldn't assign "Alt+Up Arrow" to the "Parent Folder (Go Up)" shortcut, which is expected since the current shortcut is "Back."

Tested on Win 10.
