« Last post by Mathias (Author) on May 15, 2025, 10:02:23 »- I'd like NODIALOG added to DeleteFiles e.g.Code: [Select]@var $options[] = {“RECYLE”}; "NODIALOG"(Maybe Recyle needs to be spell-checked?
DeleteFiles($array, $options);)
DeleteFile already support NODIALOG option.. and RECYCLE. it is actually the documentation that misspell it. the code actually require it as RECYCLE
// Deletes all selected files to recycle. No confirm dlg, no progress
Code: [Select]
@var $filenames = GetSourceSelectedPaths();
@var $options[] = {"NODIALOG", "RECYCLE", "NOPROGRESS"};
DeleteFiles( $filenames, $options);73

At startup you run the User defined command "ChangeSplitSize", that probably set the split size to 0/100., but all scripts are located in the Config/Scripts folder so if you copied the entire config folder and subfolders then it should be there.
You have defined some startup tabs in the Randy_tasbs.ini , so make sure that also exists. It is not in the config folder..you places that ini file in the userdata folder.
Make sure you are copy all files and subfolders when you copy the config folder.
All settings should be there if you copied over everything from the config/ folder.
Not sure what other settings you are refereing to.

Yes, I do use a custom startup. Here are the add-ons.
"C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\MultiCommander.exe" -F="C:\Users\RandySwearengin\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\UserData\Randys_tabs.ini" -AutoRun="ChangeSplitSize"
So I still need someone to help figure out why the navigation pane/folder tree panel width won't save and why I still had to manually address many settings.

The files in C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\Config does not need to be copied. these are default files that are used on first startup and such.
But as soon as you save a setting. they are saved under the user profiles.
100/0 split is not a supported senario for MC by default since MC is not designed to work like that, You probably did some trick that you autorun some custom command at start up and that command changed split size ?
Check the shortcut you used on your only setup

« Last post by rswea on May 14, 2025, 17:57:40 »I've used Multi Commander for several years now. However, when I got it configured as I liked, it just opens and works and I rarely mess with it. Now I got a new computer and have tried multiple things to make Multi Commander look and work on the new computer exactly like it is on my old computer.
I've copied the C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\Config folder and the C:\Users\randy\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander folder from the old to new computer, but still have to manually make several changes to the look and feel on the new computer.
What else am I missing to move all the settings to a new computer?
Also, I cannot figure out how to get the navigation pane/folder tree panel to maintain the width set each time I open Multi Commander. I've searched other posts and they seem to indicate this should "just happen." But I'm tired of having to reset this in each of the 7 tabs that are loaded automatically with MC each time I launch MC.
I've attached a screenshot of my layout. The Split Size is set to 100/0 on each tab. It's the navigation pane on the left that I cannot figure out how to save/set that width.

« Last post by Ulfhednar on May 14, 2025, 12:25:00 »Thanks for the reply Mathias.- I would like to be able to set MScript to recurse sub-dirs - as with DOS script cmds e.g.Don't understand.. you want a MultiScript function to get a list of files for a folder and subfolders. ?Code: [Select]for /d /r "%base_dir%" %%d in (.) do
The code above was the DOS solution for something I failed to get MS to do.
I wanted to search a folder, its' sub-dirs & select files & then run a process (e.g. get source folder; select *.txt, *.jpg, *.bat in the folder inc sub-dirs; delete).
I couldn't determine how get MS to recurse & "do" in the way the DOS command does, which I needed as I wanted to handle several different file types in nested folders.
Assuming MS cannot do this (& it is not just my incompetence!) I'd like MS to have this functionality.

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on May 14, 2025, 11:10:31 »Run Veracrypt my self and never had any issue, So there is no general issue with veracrypt
Often when startup takes time it is because MC is waiting for a call to Windows to timeout. Because sometimes windows does not know yet if device that is a network shares is available or not, So the first time it access it it going to take a while before it times out and Windows then caches that.
I never seen an issue with veracrypt. MC see that as any other normal drive.
In Core settings enable full application logging, restart, And then when it start up you can in the log (Ctrl+L) or view the logfile. see what part is taking time.
You can also create a Dump file of Multicommander.exe when it has hanged from TaskManager and then zip that and upload it to https://multicommander.com/support/upload
Then I might be able to see what it is waiting for.

Support and Feedback / Stuck at "loading configuration..."
« Last post by info@sweetman.it on May 14, 2025, 09:47:50 »Hello all,
it's a few days that in some circumstances MC doesn't load.
I use a Vera crypt volume and I mount it, usually.
But once mounted I try to run MC and it get stuck on the splash screen with the message "loading configuration...".
I can only brutally close it from task manager.
To make it work I need to dismount the vera crypt volume, load MC and then re-mount the vera crypt volume.
This morning this didn't work any more: MC doesn't load even with VC volume unmounted.
So I reinstalled MC and now it works again (if I run before mounting VC volume).
Is there a way to prevent this problem globally? perhaps an option in the config?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
Tony
