Support and Feedback / File Verifier tab column header

« Last post by SwissKnife64 on August 31, 2026, 10:23:03 »

The "File Verifier" tab column header has unexpected behaviour.

When I move a column during width adjustment to the right margin, all column to the right of adjustment disappear. The visibility can still be toggled in the context menu, but the columns are gone.
There is no option in the context menu to add the column again.

Work around: get a fresh "File Verifier"

Support and Feedback / Re: File Verifier does NOT check sha files

« Last post by SwissKnife64 on August 31, 2026, 10:16:43 »

The "File Verifier" works for

• .MD5 file with binary mark (after check sum a "space" and a "*") and file name
  
• .SHA1 file with text mark (after check sum 1 or 2 "space" ) and file name.
  

The specification allows for all checksum files .MD5, .SHA1, .SHA256 and SHA512 the binary make " *" or the text mark "  ".

The extension .SHA is recognized as checksum file, but no calculations are done

If the file name is missing in the checksum file, I can drop a file in the "File Verifier". I expect that the calculation is then done with this fiel. No calculation is done.

Examples of accepted and not accepted check sum files are attached

Powershell 7 command to  generate a accepted .MD5 checksum
$hashObj = Get-FileHash -Path .\LoreIpsum.txt -Algorithm MD5
"{0} *{1}" -f $hashObj.Hash, (Split-Path $hashObj.Path -Leaf) | Out-File -FilePath ".\LoreIpsum.md5"

Powershell 7 command to  generate a accepted .SHA1 checksum (no * in output, but it is calculated as binary)
$hashObj = Get-FileHash -Path .\LoreIpsum.txt -Algorithm SHA1
"{0}  {1}" -f $hashObj.Hash, (Split-Path $hashObj.Path -Leaf) | Out-File -FilePath ".\LoreIpsum.SHA1"

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Scroling synchronization

« Last post by Lukasz S. on August 30, 2026, 23:57:28 »

Hi,

Is it possible to have synchronization of scroling source and destination panels in detailed view?
I mean, if we have a lot of files and we want to compare two folders manually, is it possible to have simulatonously scroll both?
There could be a button to turn on/off  synchronize scroling.

I have no idea whether it is possible to use multiscript or internal commands to toggle tags, but it should be.

Actually There are MultiScript methods for it. I forgot that.

Code: [Select]

array GetTag( file )
string GetTagEx( file );
num TagAdd( file , tags )
num TagRemove( file , tags )
num TagClear( file )
num TagVerify ( )
num TagValid( tag )
CommentGet( file )
CommentSet( file , comment )
CommentAdd( file , comment ) // append
CommentRemove( file , comment)
CommentClear( file )

Support and Feedback / Re: File Column Header Width Still Resizing Unexpectedly

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on August 28, 2026, 08:36:15 »

(Wow block of text.  Please try to use return key to space out text to make it more readable.)

Since I have not been able to reproduce it, It is not fixed. I can't fix things I can't recreate.

I doubt it's worth fixing this in v16 unless it's a straightforward fix.
The file view UI component has been completely rewritten for v17, so the issue may already be resolved.
However, since the new component was modeled after the old architecture, the bug might still persist. If that's the case, then I will address it there, provided I can replicate the error.

Support and Feedback / File Column Header Width Still Resizing Unexpectedly

« Last post by total_annihilation00 on August 28, 2026, 04:34:37 »

File Layout Column Width Keeps Shrinking in V16

In V16, I experienced an issue where the File Layout Column Widths randomly resize. I was forced to delete all custom File Layout templates and revert to the default layout. However, even the default layout still exhibits unexpected resizing when navigating between tabs or upon re-launching MC. I initially expected this to be fixed in V16, but the problem persists.

I need a fixed, permanent File Column Header Layout as defined by my template (configured to include drives C:\, D:\, F:\, G:\, H:\, with "Valid for subpaths").

Currently, I cannot create a new template because of a bug where the selected sorting column is not preserved/remembered, forcing me to delete custom templates and use the default template to retain the sorting column.

I previously reported this here: https://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php/topic,5107.0.html

Reproduction steps (approximate):
Switch between tabs and restart MC. Upon relaunch, the File Column Header Widths should reset/shrink — though this behavior appears somewhat random and not guaranteed.

Tags/Labels using the toolbar  you can  Click - Tag selected files,  Shift+Click  - UnTag selected ,,  Ctrl+Click Toggle tag on selected.
With Right click on the tag in the toolbar. you can also select to filter on the tag

They are also in the popup, but under MultiCommader > Tag >
That is not a good place. To many step. But not sure where to place that yet. They cant be in the normal shell menu. Maybe only show a tag popup if ctrl is hold while showing context menu, or something.. not sure yet. right now toolbar is the way to use them.

Yes button editor and command editor where you select internal commands will need to change to support the new "category" name for the commands, Like that the new Keyboard customization dialog have. It will then be possible to filter and view them better. But first Keyboard stuff need to be more finalized.

MultiScript commands for tags are coming. Not added yet.
