Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Loop Playback Toggle for 'Play/Stop Audio File' Function

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on December 15, 2025, 13:25:41 »

I see If I can add looping..

I can add so .mid files are sent to the MediaEngine. But if something is actually playing or not is not up to MC. Playing audio is handled by Windows. So it depends on what codecs is installed in Windows.

Beta Releases / Re: Re: 15.7 BETA - Fails to show all command in menu

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on December 15, 2025, 12:14:46 »

After update to 15.7 Beta custom menu items (not everything) stopped working (not displayed).
All scripts (*.udc files) are stored in zip file (everything was fine with the same files/config in 15.6)
-Pawel

Can you describe the error more..

You got custom commands. that they are added to menu..  And they are not showing up ? Are not running when selected.  ? Are script command there if you list all commands. ( was they loaded ? )

@Mathias (Author)
I think I know what is the problem with Menu and Custom Commands. I reproduced it on Stable Multi Commander 15.6!
I got MANY commands (many custom menu items) - 627 files in 54 folders (in my Ultimate File Manager project). Is there a LIMIT? It seems it is.

If I left 443 (or more) udc files in script folder - no custom menu items are displayed. If I remove another few of them - lets say 5 -> 5 custom command is shown in menu.
That means that MC reads only specified amount of files...


-Pawel

There should be no limit on number of commands to load. Might be limit for command that menus can shown. But that limit was there before too, But It should be at least over 1000.
Nothing around that is change. And the code actually add or or none from zips.. Only think I can see is if it fails to extract from zip. then it aborts.

No error in the app Log ( Ctrl+L ) ? Do the script show up in the List of Scripts.?  (So it only in the menu bar they are not shown ?)

I will see if I can replicate that.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / [NEEDS FIXING] Loop Playback Toggle for 'Play/Stop Audio File' Function

« Last post by total_annihilation00 on December 14, 2025, 10:49:13 »

A checkbox setting to enable or disable looping of audio files during playback via the built-in Audio Previewer in MC. Also support for ".MID" files would be an added bonus !!

Don't COMBO have a special quarantine area where it places files ? It just deletes them ?
It might be that COMBO have renamed them. It does not have an UI where you see files it quarantine ? and from there you can bring them back ? Most AV software has that.
( From AI :
The COMODO quarantine area is a secure, isolated section within Comodo antivirus software where potentially malicious or suspicious files are stored.
These files are encrypted and prevented from running to ensure they cannot infect your system or cause any harm)
So you might need to restore them from within COMBO.. you will not find them your self


Maybe change AV software.  Often built in Defender is good enough unless you don't have special requirements.

Problem with all FileManager is that AV software finds them suspicious.. Here is an app that have code much code in it to handle files, copy, rename, and delete them.. That is very suspicious.  So all FileManager often lots gets false positives results on them. And there is nothing to do about it.

No worries, it's all good ! & no, COMODO does a weird 'Reverse & Block' operation when it detects CryptoLocker threats (ofc this was benign) & so all the transfers are cancelled & undone. It's alright though, I guess it guards the Downloads folder a little too aggressively. Those games were just Zips of the Installers, the actual games are already installed (I re-downloaded a bunch of them in GOG edition so they're guaranteed to work.)

Suffered from 2 data losses in MC: #1 My Aliases were lost #2 Yesterday I was attempting to move 5-7 Zip Files (400 MB total of MS-DOS games) & COMODO flagged MC as 'Possible Cryptolocker' & all my files got lost in the transfer when COMODO quarantined MC. I searched everywhere for the Zips but they were lost forever. This specific Cryptolocker transfer abortions happened to me before twice: when moving some images to & fro Downloads folder, & also when mass-renaming files in Downloads, triggering COMODO Cryptolocker Recognizers ! It's a shame —they were retro-games ! (though I recovered a bunch of them (GOG editions so they're guaranteed to work !)) I remember setting MultiCommander as Trusted in COMODO AV so I never saw this coming ! (maybe 'cause of an Invalid Certificate issue ? Just a hunch…) :'(
P.S: I fixed it (hopefully) by disabling the CryptoLocker Recognizer module in COMODO AV/FW.

Before, you could press Ctrl+F, search for something, & then when you pressed Enter the focus would switch back to the Explorer topmost Folder/File —now it doesn't switch focus back to the Explorer directory items (List View.) I miss that ! I have to use the mouse to single-click back to the Explorer view to use arrow keys to peruse items [after using the Find Filter Box] —it's a little inconvenient ! Could you bring that functionality back please ?

It is not changed.  It should work..

* Ctrl+F  focus set to Filter View box..
* Type something.. . the list view is filtered
* Confirm with Return key
* Focus is back to filelist

Works for me. Use that daily. 
Strange.What happens to focus.. DO you see what focus ends up.. still in Filter box ? some other place ?  does tab works to change tab side focus..?

Yeah it's working now, but I will test further to find out the root 'cause of it (& how to reproduce it)
