Support and Feedback / Re: Splash Screen at startup..

« Last post by GaryM on Today at 00:13:51 »

Hi Charles,

I use the portable version in my WinPE images, and I just tested MultiCommander v15.4 and saw behavior unchanged from previous versions. I think you and I may have seen the same old post showing how to suppress the splash screen, but in your recent transition you just got the directory wrong. The full file path you should use is...
"C:\Tools\MultiCommander\SessionConfig\Misc\MultiCommander.ini"

With a fresh portable version, you'll have to create that new "Misc" folder and its "MultiCommander.ini" file. I'm not sure of the significance of the "wp" entry, but here are the full contents of that file from my WinPE image:

Code: [Select]

[Root]
wp=LAAAAAIAAAADAAAA/////////////////////4IAAACCAAAA4gMAANcCAAA=
HideSplash=1

Support and Feedback / Re: Latest version of Multicommander detected as a virus

I had the same issue with Windows Defender, and a deeper dive reveals that the only executable flagged was the MultiCommander updater. Two shortcuts pointing to that file were also flagged. The main program passed just fine...

Hi Matthias

As mentioned in my other thread re. splash screen, I got a blocking message as well, after updating MC.
Using MySecurity from Swisscom which in fact is F-Secure (Version 25.2 - and they themselves use Avira Endpoint Protection Client), it blocked MC's exe file and when looking up the reason for that it linked to F-Secure's web page for an entry of Drop.Win64.FakeProgSelfRun.31090 ...

As said there, this came with the upgrade.
When, afterward, installing the portable version from 'scratch', F-Secure didn't complain and all is well with the exception of the splash screen.

This just FYI in case that helps.
I am still using Windows 10 Pro 22H2...

Thanks for replies Mathias.
We can always rely on M$ to create problems

I have the same problem. To access the files anyway, you have to double click into the field with the path and press Enter.

Support and Feedback / Splash Screen at startup..

« Last post by CharlieCharlie on Yesterday at 11:14:04 »

Hi all

Using the latest version as x64 portable  (15.4).

After MC showed that a new version was available I updated MC to said version.
Trying to run MC after the upgrade (which seemed to be successful - in that I didn't receive an error message), resulted in a virus warning from F-Secure.
But installing the new version from scratch solved that just fine (the only downside was that I had to enter all my settings again, but that's not the problem either  )

What's the problem is though, is that the Splash Screen is now showing again.
With the former versions (up from v 15.1 through updates which worked fine) I made an entry in MultiCommander.ini where I entered the line: HideSplash=1 (from an older forum post) and this worked fine.
But after the new installation I found said file in C:\Tools\MultiCommander\SessionConfig\Config\MultiCommander.ini - but entering the same line there (I did it under [Root] which is probably wrong anyway?), doesn't do anything.
I then went to C:\Tools\MultiCommander\Config\MultiCommander.xml and tried out to add this line to the following section:
  <startup>
    <autoloadtabsession value="1"/>
    <startminimized value="1"/>
    <PreventWindowsAutoScaling value="0"/>
    <HideSplash="1"/>
  </startup>
Which is probably wrong as well - but one tries things out before annoying you over here 
This resulted in a plethora of error messages a few of them referring to an entry under roaming\multicommander/ ... which most probably isn't correct as this is a portable install.
I now did remove all my alterations and MC does work just fine but keeps it's splash screen ontop of all other windows for at least 30seconds, which is a bit annoying as I have put MC in the startup folder.

Thanks for helping me out.

Kind regards from Basel, Switzerland!
Charles

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Shaping the Future of MultiCommander - Your Feedback on Development Priorities

« Last post by total_annihilation00 on Yesterday at 04:26:07 »

#3 Implement a search box field in the Aliases dialog to facilitate entry filtering. This feature is particularly beneficial when navigating through numerous entries (helps de-cluttering), akin to locating a needle in a haystack. The search functionality should ideally encompass both labels and paths. See screenshot (I have too many entries ! (Button Panel is full too !)):  P.S: The challenge is that aliases are typically brief, necessitating specificity in search queries to effectively narrow results. P.P.S: It would be optimal if the CommandBar Auto-Complete feature in item #1 could also incorporate Alias suggestions.
