Hi Mathias,

I'd like to share with you few points which I found in newest MC build 2803:
1. Missing possibility to translate "of" info on copy/move dialog box.
2. When switch to different line than solid, by pressing down arrow, lines change the colour to default one (brighter then one I set in options). Situation change when I move mouse cursor above or go by pressing up arrow. Some issue with refreshing I guess.
3. Colour of active panel change to default even I set in options different one.

1. Will fix that.

2. Strange. I'm not able to recreate that.

3. Yes the change of how config is read messed up this.  Will be fixed

It seems that the loading of Tab Sessions go now very much faster, also when programs open which this process slowing very much down. This programs slowing dwn yet, but no more so much.

The problem with the wrong color of the active and inactive panel is also in my config present.

Eh ? I don't understand.. what is slower ?

I posted this already after other releases and i made some threads about the problem: "Loading Tab sessions is to slow because of some reasons or also without any reason".

But now is the speed very much faster than before. It seems that something which was slowing down the speed was removed.

Strange because nothing around that is changed.

@Mathias (Author)
Could you please answer my email about adding an option to overwrite (replace) default path to some configuration files and UDC Script directory?
Also, what do you think about it?
Is it possible to add this for next release?

Thanks,
-Pawel

Yes I saw both of them, It's require a bit to answer and I had not had the time.

[Ulfhednar]

Just installed 2809
Cannot get past the startup flag @ reading config.  No idea if anything (eg error dialog) is behind it as it is 'fixed'.
Clicking on it makes it crash/close.

Really like the new copy / move dialog that appeared in the last release. Thanks Mathias

I can confirm the same problem as @Ulfhednar.

[Mathias (Author)]

Just installed 2809
Cannot get past the startup flag @ reading config.  No idea if anything (eg error dialog) is behind it as it is 'fixed'.
Clicking on it makes it crash/close.

Really like the new copy / move dialog that appeared in the last release. Thanks Mathias   

Btw Jus so you know, the Appcrashview stuff is no help, it tells me nothing. specially since it is a hang and not a crash. 
Anyway I cannot replicate that. works on all machines here.. that strange..

Portable or installed ?

Can you start again and then when it hangs crash go into TaskManager and right click on MultiCommander.exe process in detaliled view and select Create Dump.
And then zip/7z it and upload it to http://multicommander.com/upload
Then I can see at what stage in the program it halts

Nevermind I been able to recreate it

[Ulfhednar]

Thanks Mathias.
Yeah I figured the appcrash stuff was minimal use (hence FWIW) next time I'll just use the dump creation.
I have just been looking at windows logs & for dumps but you beat me to it

BTW The upload URL gives a

"Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.

Storage is low on free disk space"

Issue fixed
Just run the MultiUpdate.exe tool and update to 2810

[AlanJB]

Can confirm build 2810 fixes the issue.

Thanks Mathias 

[Ulfhednar]

Thanks Mathias! 
A PC without MC is like eating broken glass! 

[Lukasz S.]

Hi,

Build 2810 introduce problem with colour of the tabs, MC do not read my setting where I chose dark grey colour.
In this version tabs has blue colour I think default one.
There is still an issue with colour & type of the lines different than solid. By pressing down arrow the colour changes to white or default (red marking). Any other movement using arrow or mouse above panel restore the colour of the lines (green marking). I'll try to record the screen and send directly to you.

I will check the tab things

Line with dots/dashes not working thing, I cannot recreate that, it works for me. and there is not much I can do about that. might be depending on HW or something like that. I know a long time ago that drawing lines with special flags (here it is that the line should be drawn dottet and dashed), some gfx card / drivers has issues with that. I dont know if that is the reason here or not.
Can also be some other options you have that comes in conflict but I have not found any that might cause that.

[AlanJB]

ADDED - Support for Changing Config/Log/Userdata path
ADDED - Support for redirecting some config files to locations.

Mathias, can I have a bit more info on these option, please?

I can't see any way to access them through the interface...

There is no interface for them. and will not be, It will be a special file that allowes for path to be overwritten. (Mainly for IT Pros that want to control stuff for users. but also other reasons)
But info will come when they are better tested better finalized
