Explorer panel settings > Layout (tab)
Under "User Interface Components" you have the device dropdown list. There you can turn of "Remember last accessed subpath"

But you can also go to root with Ctrl+Backspace (or go to root icon button)

Support and Feedback / Re: How Do I Make A Color Profile Default ?

« on: October 08, 2025, 10:49:17 »

I don't understand how it can fail for you. Is the other color profiles not even shown in the dropdown menu on the toolbar ?

The other Color Profiles are indeed listed in the dropdown menu in Color Profile Editor, however they don't stay/ retain as the chosen item or trigger. The listed item just reverts to "[Default]" everytime I re-open the Color Profile Editor (they don't get deleted or anything if that's what you mean.).

Also remember when I said the "Name Ext Size Date" Column bar changes size, it's happening a lot lately, wish there was a way to Lock it !

No not "dropdown menu in Color Profile Editor," The dropdown.. when you click on the colorwheel icon on the main toolbar.. where you select what color rule to activate..

Dont remember the column issue.. But I have not seen any issue with column.. for me they are always the same.. and never changes. I have auto-fit column to view width active and then I just set the sizes of the column and save that. then only the name column will expand or shrink depending on how large the window is. the other will use the set width

There is a Save button to save a changes to a rule.

So you do the change... close dialog.  and if you changed the currently active profile the change should be active directly else you need to switch to that color profile you edited in the dropdown list that is shown when pressing the color icon button.

If [Default] is shown as selected when dialog is opened then that profile is selected or no profile is selected.
If a color profile is active. then that profile should be shown when going into the color editor. But you can swich to another profile if you want to edit that.

Then just select the color profile you want to use from the dropdown in the toolbar to switch to use that profile

No all of them are shown in the dropdown list.
It should auto select the profile that is currently selected. if there is one selected

I can't reproduce any issue.. strange.

"reverts to "[Default]" whenever I open Color Profile Editor"
Yes when you open the dialog it will show "[Default]" first. but all of them should be listed there. it is just an editor. does not mean that is the current one

That should work with just copy the file back to the Config/ColorRules folder and then restart MC

It work when I test it.
You might have to reselect the color profile again when MC is loaded the first time after it was copied back.

Did you restore to the correct folder? make sure it is to MC config folder under the userprofile and not install folder

The Default is special. it is not in the ColorRules subfolder. it is one step up. But it 'can' be overwritten in updates, but most likely will not. But why not just save as own profile name ?
MC will use the last used one.

The Default are the default for MC and they can be overwritten in updates.

MC will use the color profile that was last used next time MC starts
You can change the name by editing the the .xml file for the profile

MC will load all profile in that folder. Maybe you had edited the file and it was mallformened. so it should not read it ?

Most config files are read at startup. Have you restarted it after replacing it ?

Adding files to C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\ColorRules\
and then reboot.. and they should be shown.

Don't think 50178 is correct. anyway..

Create a UserDefinedCommand  of type : Internal Command

and select "MultiCommaner (base)" as module
and "Manage aliases" as command

MC do not read overlay icons it self. It ask Windows about the overlay icon. So it should return the same as explorer. Just makesure you reboot window after modifying the registry for the overlay icons.
However it can also be 32bit / 64bit issue.. make sure you modify both locations

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\

I can't replicate that.
External VC devices show up for me. If I enable override and uncheck removable HD.. than it goes away. and it should. But else it is shown.

Don't know why it different for your system.
Is it only if you connect it while MC is running ? If you restart MC after VC drives is connected does it show up ?

The Removebale HD option will enable/disable for USB connected devices.

But you got it working so no issue anymore.

Yes But if you expand them. there are individual options under each section.. on what devices should be shown for each UI place to show devices..
Some of the option for the place where you did not see the device was probably not checked.


I don't think VC version matter.. MC does not see it as a VC device. it just see a removable harddrive. it does not know if it is VC or not. all that is handled in kernel level in Windows

It depends what is check under the device filtering section. Might be that Removable harddrive is unchecked.

If it gets a device letter it should just work.  There is nothing special with Vera that MC sees.. (I use it myself)

Everything in device filter should be off already by default. It is used so you can tweak the and override some default behaviours, So you must have enabled something there that would have filter it out. And when you turned it off it got back
But good that you got it working.

Support and Feedback / Re: Had lost the thumbnails

« on: September 25, 2025, 08:42:42 »

Picture quality only used if thumbnail system is set to internal.
Recommended is to leave the Thumbnail system on auto or Windows (if you have Windows 10+)
Windows thumbnail engine is faster and better. However if you have problem with it in windows explorer you might get same issue in MC. Then Internal can be used.

Internal thumbnail engine support less image formats than the built-in in Windows.

« on: September 19, 2025, 14:18:22 »

It should work if entered correctly. But you need to know what port the target wants.  21 is default for FTP 22 default for SSH.  totally different services..
But since it fails to even connect. something is either wrong with host or port.. Or something is blocking it
