You can save a Tab Session, and when reopened, the same panel will be highlighted as it was when saved.

This forum is in english. Please write question in english

I translated this with ChatGPT:

Hello, I have a strange problem that I haven't found in the forum so far. When I connect an Android smartphone (Samsung) to a Windows 10 PC via USB, a specific folder in the DCIM directory is not displayed in Multi Commander. In other file managers (Windows Explorer, FreeCommander, xplorer2, Total Commander, etc.), the directory is always shown. I have not set any display filters.
Additionally, I have the problem that I can copy files from the smartphone to the PC but cannot move them.
I think Multi Commander is otherwise the best file manager. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Tab Sessions drop down menu

« on: November 24, 2024, 19:00:15 »

Hello Mathias,

it would be nice if there was a button that would provide a drop down like the sub-menu in the File > Tab Sessions sub menu (see picture).

I tried to find an internal command that would pop that menu to make a user defined command (UDC) that would pop it directly, but I did not find any.

regards, m.

I created such a menu myself. You need to create a user-defined command for each tab session and then add them to a custom menu. Creating such a user-defined command is done using the "Internal Commands" setting. Select the module "MultiCommander base," and then, under "Command," you can find the tab sessions along with other commands. The entries start with "Session." @Dev: Why are this commands not listed in alphabetical order? While reading this list i was confused.

Support and Feedback / If the file name or path is too long, deleting the file does not work.

« on: September 19, 2024, 18:26:59 »

I tried to delete a backup of my smartphone today and realized that it didn't work because files had a long path or file name.

And the first non-admin instance with which I initially tried froze after I renamed the files with a second instance started as admin and then deleted them. Before renaming, deleting didn't work with the instance started as admin either.

Support and Feedback / Re: 3 Screens (panels)

« on: August 30, 2024, 16:49:32 »

Is it possible to have 3 screens (panels) in MC to show the contents of 3 drives at the same time?

No. But you can use multiple instances and switch between windows with Alt+Tab, or you can use tabs.

Support and Feedback / Re: How to always start with 50%/50% panels?

« on: August 15, 2024, 10:14:24 »

I've had the setting below active for a long time, but it still happens that MultiCommander only shows one column and hides the rest – or splits the columns completely nonsensically.
Is there anything I can adjust better?

I simply disabled 'Autosize Columns' because I didn't like how it worked.

Support and Feedback / Re: Copy Window issues

« on: June 29, 2024, 12:58:28 »

MultiCommander is not suitable for synchronizing or backing up Windows profile files. You should use backup software for that purpose. Many files are in use and cannot be copied. For synchronizing configuration files of programs, I use Beyond Compare. However, even with that, you should not copy, back up, or synchronize the entire Windows profile.

Support and Feedback / Re: Multi Commander stays in background

« on: June 08, 2024, 14:03:17 »

I never seen that. In what situations is it happening. Is is reproducible ?

Yes, I can reproduce the issue every day by starting with a batch file; most often, all instances run in the background and are not displayed in the taskbar.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Quick Access

Nevermind I added all my Quick Access folders to the Button Panel

How about using MC Tab Sessions instead of buttons on the Button Panel or Windows Quick Access?

Then I hope you at least have 20% free memory at all the time. Without a swap Windows cannot move stuff around in memory to free up large chunks if a program request a larger size of memory.. then you can cause a crash becuse of no memory even if you got several gigs free.. just becuse it did not find a large enough block free.  Also windows cannot use memory for caching as much.

I currently have 32 GB of RAM and only need that much RAM when I use a RAMDisk. A swap file just tortures the SSD. At the next system upgrade, I will upgrade to 64 GB of RAM.

Like disabling swap, This is a cause of many crashes..

I always disable the swap file...

Support and Feedback / Re: Quicklook - nearly works

« on: February 16, 2024, 13:01:16 »

I never used the PDF preview in Windows Explorer before, but I've tested this feature now and I have to say, it works, but it doesn't work in MC. Moreover, the crash without any crash report is repeatable; it takes 3-5 minutes, and then it crashes. The preview for images works.

crash report

There is no crash report because the MultiCommander instance is terminated without any message. The window closes, and the executable is terminated without any message. I have no preview software installed in Windows, and some services may be disabled. I use Adobe Reader and ABBYY FineReader for PDFs. It would be better for MultiCommander to operate independently and not rely on Windows features that may be disabled by users.

MC got its own preview panel, and there you can preview images/pdf and more insida a tab..

This does not work properly. All my PDFs are displayed as empty, and while testing, MultiCommander crashed and was killed. DXF files are also very important for the preview. It would be better to completely remove the feature, as it is not usable in its current state.

Since I activated the 'File Commands' toolbar, it works. When the toolbar was deactivated, neither a newly created button nor the keyboard shortcut Shift+Alt+Q worked.

Thanks a lot, I was confused because there is also a toolbar area under Core Settings.

Beta Releases / Re: v13.3 Beta

« on: November 19, 2023, 23:55:26 »

But you can "pin" server in the network (NET:) and they will always be shown there, It will cache it.. and you can often just access directly without scanning again

Alright, this has nothing to do with the beta version, but I don't understand why the fritz-nas icon under the network icon is not working and instead a new icon has been created at the bottom. Please watch my screenshot. This has nothing to do with reachability. How does pinning work with NET:? i have no idea.

Quick searching files/folders by typing/pressing keys has stopped working in build 2962. It was working until this build

This works for me in Build: 2962.

Support and Feedback / Re: Print selection via Button

« on: November 19, 2023, 20:12:29 »

send list of files to clipboard and paste into notepad. and then print from that.

What? My suggestion would be simply to invoke the Windows-based context menu, preferably using the context menu key on the keyboard, and then select the Print command.

It is just the beta.. ? or all version ? all folder location ?

It's just the beta. I always do this when I install a new program or a update. Do you never use protected folders? Do you start your MC as Admin? My Windows account is an admin account. Maybe that's the difference.

I know what network shares are.. you talked about checking symbols and stuff..
I have not seen any issues with accessing a network shares, uses it daily my self without any issue

Method A and Method B works not for me, maybe you have different settings.

Your what ?

A "network share" is a shared resource, like a file or folder, made available over a network for access by other devices. It allows files to be shared and accessed remotely within a connected network.
The network shares are usually consolidated under the network symbol in the directory tree.

Very nice. If you have a little more time, could you check why a new symbol of the network share is always created in the directory tree when accessing a network share?
