Support and Feedback / Re: Column widths not sticking

« on: March 17, 2025, 08:28:22 »

Have you right clicked on column header and selected "save current layout as default" ?

Also make sure option "Auto-fit columns to view width" is off. Since this will auto change the sizes.

If you right click on column header and select "save current layout as default" it will try to always use that size.

Support and Feedback / Re: MC hangs when copying files

« on: February 26, 2025, 23:10:18 »

Not seen that, Nothing with copy has changed in latest version.

If it hangs you can create a process dump from taskmanager and upload it to https://multicommander.com/support/upload
And I check from that see what MC is waiting for. Often when mc hang it wait for some call to Windows to finish. often some network operation.

Support and Feedback / Re: Feature Request - Optimize Folder Size Scan in Everything

« on: February 26, 2025, 23:01:58 »

Yes showing Root can be slow..  No it does not call for each folder.

It is actually only done 1 api call.
Problem is that Everyting is not optimized for just returning folder size.  (Everything 1.5 will be better) it doing a search.
So when asking about the root of a drive. Everything is actually returning everything on that drive and MC need to filter out what it needs. But for what I understand Everything 1.5 will handle it better

Support and Feedback / Re: Cursor Location is not accurate or is mismatched

« on: February 24, 2025, 09:46:45 »

So when clicking on the buttons in the toolbar nothing happens.. Any button ? or just some
I cannot reproduce that , I tested in both Win10 or Win11.

Does other mouse click action work in other places in the program? like navigating into folder. opening menu . and other ?

Support and Feedback / Re: SHIFT + Character Hotkey not working

« on: February 18, 2025, 07:59:09 »

It gets in conflict with other things

Disable Forward keys to command line bar
and Quick search can't be letter only...

Problem is that Shift + C is Upper case 'C'.
And both Forwards key to command line bar and Quick search see that as normal text.

Support and Feedback / Re: Default sorting type per folder?

« on: February 13, 2025, 12:21:41 »

There is no way to customize folder by folder.
It is planed for something like that.

But you can change sorting with hotkeys
Ctrl+F1 to F5 will change sorting to column 1 to 5, Selecting an column that is already sorting will reverse the sort..

Attributes does not matte for admin or not. 
Permission can cause issue specially over the network. even if you are admin on your machine you might not be admin on remote machine.
Unless you are connected to a ActiveDirectory

Remote side is a Windows machines ? or a Linux NAS  ?

Support and Feedback / Re: Proper column sizing in List view

« on: February 12, 2025, 22:10:36 »

My other issue is position-to within a file listing. In Windows Explorer and other file managers, you can click once in the file listing to set the focus, then start typing, and the focus changes to the first file that starts with that letter. And if you press Enter after pressing F or G or CH or whatever, the focused file gets launched. In MC, a little popup appears showing my typed text, but it doesn't change the focus.

Yes it change the focus and you can lunch with return from the search filed that pops up..
But you can also turn off the quick search field.
Explorer Panel settings , Under Keyboard handling.. turn off search field.. and turn off search keys.. Then focus will jump to best match while typing

Support and Feedback / Re: Everything support - wrong folder size

« on: February 12, 2025, 14:03:20 »

Ok, I understand.

But still MC hangs when operation is in progress ("Calculating folder size, please wait...") and I want to close MC. Need to kill it. Is it possible to cancel task, when exiting MC?

EDIT:
I tried to upload dump (via https://multicommander.com/support/upload), but there is an error:
Bad Gateway
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.

The problem is that MC is waiting for the response from Everything. And currently there is no good way to abort that..
It will work better when Everything 1.5 comes. then get folder sizes will be even faster.

that is not a key for MultiUpdate. it is a key for WinHTTP  that is a service in windows for doing Http connection.. But MultiUpdate and MC is using that.
