Support and Feedback / Unpack an archive from one side to a similarly named directory on the other side

« Last post by ags on July 12, 2026, 12:59:15 »

Scenario
An single archive from one panel needs to be unpacked in the other panel in a directory that is automatically created and named as the archive.

Current situation
The very useful "Unpack archives into individual folders" is there but it cannot be used since it is inactive.

Expected result
Make user's life easier and activate the option.



PS: I noticed that my post from https://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php/topic,4852.msg14093.html#msg14093 was locked without proper resolve.

Support and Feedback / Re: [Bug] Shift+F4 doesn't launch an editor

« Last post by Jungle on July 11, 2026, 10:42:35 »

I don't remember remapping Shift+F4. AFAIR, it worked OK since the earliest MC versions. My CustomKeymapping.xml doesn't contain any F4 line.

It's strange. I've just tired some back-up'ed versions, and they don't work as well. Some days ago it worked. As I've said, Create File dialog is shown, and empty file is created, but the editor is not launched. I did not update my editor. Neither of the log files shows suspicious info.

But F4 works. No antivirus pop-ups.

Support and Feedback / Re: Settings with font size > 14 prevents MC from saving explorer panel settings

typing ":goconfig" in command line field. you see the config files.
when you do a change to config and save/apply then that file will change MultiCommander.xml or ExplorerPanel.xml, Make sure they are not readonly or something. and if you got Multiple instance of MC running. they can overwrite the files for each other.

Could higher resolution be the issue?

CustomKeymapping.xml should have this

  <map extid="" ctrl="0" cmd="1350" key="F4" keymod="S"/>
  <map extid="" ctrl="0" cmd="1351" key="" keymod=""/>

First line asign F4 + Shift to EDIT
second line remove default mapping of CreateNew file

I have changed the default editor (in File Type Setup > Editor). It is launched via F4, but is not launched via Shift+F4. Empty file specified in "Create file" dialog is created.

MC 16.0.3186

Eh something is very strange..  there is no logic that changing the font size in MC would affect if settings are saved or not..
