Haven't managed to break anything in testing yet ;)

Using multi-commander 6.5 build 2282 x64 (w7 x64), I have noticed a couple of things that seem worth mentioning:-

I've noticed that the column settings often change widths within my open/saved tab selections & I need to use the restore columns right-click function after a system restart or MC restart.

The strange selection bug is very rare now but will still occasionally manifest if I have a folder of more than 400 files and complete some operations like move delete copy rename etc between selections.

I find the move copy function seems to grab focus more than previously.
E.g. if I set a file to copy to a USB stick I could previously click to return back up the hierarchy of folders and initiate further move/copy operations which then would be queued from different folders.
If I try that now I find MC will to some extent 'hang', & although it will always recovers it takes time to make the transition between folders & to queuing further commands.
Previously MC would change dirs & queue as fast as i clicked through them. (I am using a no dialog command in a button for the move/copy ops.  Don't know if that may be relevant.)

I notice on the Find dialogue that the old setting for search within results is no longer present. I'm guessing that it can in most instances be replaced with a Regex, but is there any likelihood that that switch will be returning?

I haven't looked too closely at the script/internal commands relating to the new Find Filters yet. :-[   But  I wondered if I could assign a MC command or script a button to use a find preset & then use that as a selection to be assigned to a following operation.
E.g.  Find <filter selection preset> & move selection to opposite pane.

Thanks your continued efforts on this Mathias - always lots of great things in MC!   8)

After you clicked restore then also click "Save current layout as default", else it is not resaved as the default

? What strange selection bug. ?? Might need some more description on what is happening or not happening.

Not sure what you mean with "grab focus" I can't find any issue with this.. I can queue multiple copy operations after each other with not issue.. Not sure what the issue it ?

The new FileSearch do not support that yet.. It is planned to add it again.. But almost nobody was really using it so it is not highest priority.

Mathias (Author):
As of build 2290 The first "Preview" of the TabSessions feature is now included.

Before you had to script it your self using MultiScript. But now there is starting to be built in support for it.

Menu > File > Tab Sessions

   Select "Save As" to save current tab layout to a session that you then can Quickly swap to.
    In "Tab Sessions Manager" dialog you can remove and tweak the sessions. There is still a lot missing there. It is very much under development right now so a lot can change.
