Copy from MC to Explorer
Turpal:
Is it normal that while copy from MC to Explorer the MC window freezing and non-functional? When I copy large file it can take 10 minutes and I cannot do anything during this time.
I get this message

It depends
How you do the copy (Is MC doing the copy are you making MC calling windows to do the Copy) and from where it read the data or to where it is written.

It happens only when copying from MC to Explorer, 'cause in other direction it uses internal tool.
How I copy? Simply by drag'n'drop from MC window to Explorer folder. What other details do you need?

I dont know why you get the MC Copy dialog when you drag a file from MC to Explorer because the program where you drop will do the copy so you should see the Windows Copy Dialog if you drop the file in Explorer. But if the file you are copy are located inside a virtual filesystem like a zip/rar or similar MC must first unpack the file. and this can lockup the main UI in MC until it is done with that.
You can also get a lockup in MC when dragging a file to an external program. But it depends on what that program does with the drop.
If that program do not tell MC that is done with the drop request MC must wait. But normally Explorer will not do this.
But some AV or shell extensions that are hooked into the Windows Shell can interfere and cause this to happen.
Do it works if you just copy inside MC.. drag n drop file inside MC only and not explorer
or if you use the internal copy command that if F2/F5 (depending on default setup or click the copy button on button panel or toolbar, makesure target location is the "other" panel )

You misunderstood me, I stated exactly as you did:
D'n'D MC -> Explorer = Windows Copy Dialog
D'n'D Explorer-> MC = MC Dialog

Does it mean that MC never knows when request is completed?
