Create new Folder (F7) does nothing after updating to beta

[Anti-Bacterial]

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• Backup your configuration!
• Completely uninstall MC 64 bit, removing all settings (check all boxes when prompted.)
• Download and install MultiCommander_x64_(15.8.0.3135).exe
• Choose "Windows Explorer compatibility Look n Feel"
• Exit MC
• Restore your backup config
• Exit MC
• Launch MC
• IMPORTANT: DO NOT UPDATE TO THE BETA WHEN PROMPTED!  choose "ASK LATER" for test purposes.
• Create a Folder (F7). It works perfectly. The "New Folder" is created.
• Exit MC
• Launch MC again and this time, proceed to update to the beta
• Create a folder (F7) fails. Nothing happens after updating to the beta version

so until this is repaired,  I am staying on the release channel. I had to go to Configuration -> Core settings and disable:
[ ] check for and download an update of a Beta version if available

Otherwise I'd have to remember to keep choosing "Ask Later" when prompted to update to the beta which would re-introduce the bug again. It's too easy for me to accidentally click the update and reintroduce the bug so that's why I'm staying on the release channel until I hear back from you

Kind regards

Maybe describe the issue . something with creating folders ?? I can't reproduce it.  I can create folder,  Any error in the log ? It is some special location it does not work.. network ? ftp ?

you only have some number with some dot after it..what that suppose to be..  represent some filename ? or something.. I don't get it..

Beta is not bug free. and Not release either.. The fewer people that test and report bug in beta, the more there will be in release. so unless somebody report exactly what is not working. then it will be in the release too, since I can't reproduce it

STEP #10:
Press F7 to create a new folder on my local C: drive under my DOWNLOADS folder.  Nothing happens. No prompt. No dialog pops up. Nothing.


In the stable release, you can press F7 (MakeDir) get this dialog (see attachment).  For example, after I press F7 then I can type in ZZZ and click OK and a new folder called ZZZ is created.  In the beta, I am not prompted for anything. I did a clean install, too. How/where do I access the log?


Not sure what you're talking about dots. Sometimes after I preview/post here, the forum editor scrambles the content. I had to edit and remove the formatting then reapply the numbered list format.
