PDF preview in MC is using the Windows Shell PreviewHandler (IPreviewHandler interface).
So the preview is dependend on what PDF preview handler that is installed.. It is only tested and verified with the build in viewer in Windows

Support and Feedback / What are your experiences with the PDF Preview?

« Last post by chrisjj on October 13, 2025, 11:41:22 »

I'm considering MC for working on large sets of often large (>1000-page) annotated PDFs in preview and wonder if any similar user has found MC successful for this? I've tried alternatives but discovered issues of reliability and performance on some large files e.g. a new preview blocking input.

Also does MC use the Windows iPreviewHandler, or what?

Thanks.

You need a MultiScript like

Code: [Select]

MC.Run CMD="${focusfilepath}" SHELL. 
I have assigned the F10 key to this MultiScript. 
Then you can use the normal selection (in toggle mode). 
For me, toggle mode is on the right mouse button. 
This works well, and selections can also be saved: 
Edit > Save selection to file.

Support and Feedback / Using MC to triage PDFs

« Last post by chrisjj on October 12, 2025, 18:45:15 »

Hi. Beginner here, using Windows 7.

I have a particular usage requirement that I wonder if MC can meet?

I recently had to triage a thousand-odd emails. In Thunderbird, it was just two keypresses x 1000. Down the list viewing the preview, then tap
one (OK, modified) key to tag Yes or No. Great. When done, exported the Yesses.

How can I do this for PDFs? I guess what I need is two MC command keypresses that set some file attribute/tag to No/Yes, then filter to get the results.

Thanks.

Support and Feedback / Linked Navigation

« Last post by ghd on October 10, 2025, 11:50:21 »

The latest release - v15.6 ( Build 3119 ) has linked navigation feature. What is the meaning of this feature? If I descend into one folder below in one tab, the other tab automatically descends into the similar folder in the other tab. I hope this is what is meant by linked navigation. How do I link navigation for both the tabs that are displaying similar folders from two different locations?

Regards.

Support and Feedback / Re: How Do I Make A Color Profile Default ?

I don't understand how it can fail for you. Is the other color profiles not even shown in the dropdown menu on the toolbar ?

The other Color Profiles are indeed listed in the dropdown menu in Color Profile Editor, however they don't stay/ retain as the chosen item or trigger. The listed item just reverts to "[Default]" everytime I re-open the Color Profile Editor (they don't get deleted or anything if that's what you mean.).

Also remember when I said the "Name Ext Size Date" Column bar changes size, it's happening a lot lately, wish there was a way to Lock it !

No not "dropdown menu in Color Profile Editor," The dropdown.. when you click on the colorwheel icon on the main toolbar.. where you select what color rule to activate..

Dont remember the column issue.. But I have not seen any issue with column.. for me they are always the same.. and never changes. I have auto-fit column to view width active and then I just set the sizes of the column and save that. then only the name column will expand or shrink depending on how large the window is. the other will use the set width

Oh the Color Wheel icon —so that's how you activate it !! It's working perfectly now, thank you so much, Mathias !! I've been away for a while & been a little rusty ! 🎉👍

As for the "Name/ Ext/ Size/ Date" column bar, it's still wonky, I don't have mine on "AutoResize Columns" —welp I just resize it to default Saved Layout.
