That's really odd.
I tried it on 2 PCs, one with Windows 7, the other with Windows 10.
I tried it with the installer and the portable version.
I even tried earlier versions, back to the oldest available on the download page (v11.3).
The only changes in the configuration I made was unchecking "Show link target in name column".
The results were frustratingly consistent:
Toggling the option always made targets appear or disappear for symlinks to directories. But it had no effect on symlinks to files. For them the target was always displayed.
It's not as if the universe would implode, if that mystery couldn't be solved.
But it would be very convenient, if symlinks were a bit less obtrusive.
So, though I know that this question is slightly impertinent : Did it really really ever work as intended with file symlinks?

Yes, text is ok, but not the two boxes.The problem is if they are, it looks like the advanced button and save button belong to the settings for Keeping incomplete/Broken files.
Both boxes should be at the same height / level.
Does this really looks good for you?Looks like the text fits into the fields
Hello,Yes lots of things missing from doc. Writing doc takes a lot of time. and my free time is a bit limited. So When I get time to spend time on MC it is bug fixes and new things that gets the prio.
I discovered TabSessions by myself, so I am not quite aware of what exists about this.
Can you confirm the documentation is still missing ?
I imagine the preferred format is HTML ?
Any stylesheet ready ? Right that for this I can have a look in the existing pages.
Hi Mathias,
in latest beta there is a small glitch. Should be on the same level, or not? Possible to fix?
When you drag a file onto an executable file (e.g., a .exe file) in Windows Explorer, Windows passes the full path of the dragged file as a parameter to the executable.
For example, if you have a file named example.txt located at C:\Users\User\Documents\example.txt and you drag this file onto an executable named processfile.exe, the executable will receive the file path as an argument.
When you drag example.txt onto processfile.exe and run it, the output will look something like this:
Argument 0: C:\Path\To\Executable\processfile.exe
Argument 1: C:\Users\User\Documents\example.txt
argv[0] is the path to the executable itself, and argv[1] is the path to the dragged file. If multiple files are dragged, they will be passed as additional arguments (argv[2], argv[3], etc.).
It might be if it is fully encrypted with encrypted files name or just the data.. with only data it can open the rar for browsing without password..Thanks for info Mathias.I just double click on part 1 of the rar-set. If I don't use MC I get the PW dialog as expected.
Hmm strange.. I can Navigate into the rar (multi rar archive). select files, select copy. asked for password.. enter password. and copy continues..
Not sure what is different.
yes search settings should be remembered
Could it be related to the build of RAR that was used to create the set?
I'll see if I have some old files & try them.
I see. Is that possible to use Alt or Shift as the modifier key? They are not used, right?Not sure what you talking about parameter convention.. The dropped file are sent as a parameter to the file it is dropped on. just like you would call it on the command line.
Please consider to follow the parameter convention. Currently, my programs can not recognize the file path.
or maybe some rar settingsThanks for info Mathias.I just double click on part 1 of the rar-set. If I don't use MC I get the PW dialog as expected.

Normally doing this in MC would also bring up the PW dialog, now CTD & MC restart. Tried again now on different set & got 1914-I115CF error.
Sent the error report.
OT
In the Search Dialog shouldn't selections be persistent? I'm seeing file content check boxes lose the selection between uses. Or is this a change I've not noticed?
Sorry to be creating work for you Mathias...
Hi Mathias,See if i can make them a little bigger. else maybe translate to something shorter that mean the same
Is it possible to increase dimensions of Copy/Move window to fit, for example, full Polish translation? The same for "Advanced >>" button.
Please see the screenshot.

Could it be because it is a spanned .rar with pw?
Error 1914-Y114TW in FSRAR.DLL (report sent)
Could it be because it is a spanned .rar with pw?Maybe.. I will check
Error 1914-Y114TW in FSRAR.DLL (report sent)
Sorry for the delayed reply Mathias.
I did see the comment about error handling changes, so far that seems improved in speed & relevance. I should have added the crash ID above but I did send the report in.
I get a crash when trying to browse encrypted archives now, previously I would be asked for the PW - MC doesn't get to that now. Crash ID 1914-E114RS
This dialog & selection do not work, skip all = skip.
**whilst typing this a new build has appeared
Thanks Mathias, skip all working now, .rar with PW not working.
Thanks for the reply Mathias.
I was trying to sync a folder & had some matching files; dialog opens asks for input - skip overwrite etc, clicked skip all & it immediately opened the same dialog for every next matching file. I.e. skip all isn't working for me. Using the portable MC I was able to complete the operations normally.
...& I have just tried a regular copy operation of dissimilar files & MC 3007 CTD'd, error report dialog opened & then also crashed.
I can use the current portable build OK. This seems to be related to this build as it is new behaior since the update. Guess I will try fresh install also.
** managed to get the error dialog to stay up, fault in MultiCommander.exe, report sent.
