Something special with it ? or something else that are unique ?, Do you have option on to show hidden file ? I Don't know if folders on phone can have attribute set so folders is hidden.
I don't know why it does not work for you. I cannot reproduce that error
MC is not talking to to phone by it self, It is using the Window portable device API , So it is using Windows Built in support for WPD. So there is not much room for doing something different. So I don't know why some folder is not shown

So if you modify anything on the buttons inside MC. and  MultiButtons.xml is saved , Maybe the manual edits will be overwritten ?

When you click restore. all your custom changes go away.
and there should be multiple items for the MCPictureViewer.

Not something I have seen happen.

If you have multiple instances open. they can overwrite each other if you do changes in both of them.

When does it happen? Reproducible ?

Well it is stable since it works for me and I cannot reproduce any issues.

Not like I have a test department. Stuff only gets fixed if people can report a way to reproduce it. So maybe if somebody else have issue with it. They can report it so I can reproduce it.

By typing ":goconfig" in command line field, it will go to the config folder that are used. then you see what config files it is using

Then something is very weird with your system. The log you sent shows that it goes to the next file. But the files was not pictures. so it failed decode them to shown them.


Don't remember. Cant check now.. But if you look in the portable zip..  in multicommander.xml  one of the first values at the top tells it to be portable. (Its not called portable.. the only differens is where it should look for the config files, so might be something about config )

It say it failed to load image.. guess there are lots of none image files there

No WIn10 issue.. Works on all machine I test on.. Not sure what you expect to show if you view lots of none picture files..  Try to actually view some pictures

If settings are stored in APPDATA then you are not running portable.
There only different between portable and not is a default configuration option in app/config/multicommander.xml

So then it is a configuration issue in your downgraded 14.1. 
Configuration for installed version is stored at C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\
if you can try to delete just FileTypes.xml. and se if that help. else you might need to delete them all.

Look like the new picture viewer in 14.3 does not like Win8.. might be an easy fix, maybe. There will be a new beta for 14.5 today that does something to one win8 issue I found.. but there might be more, Im not sure.
I don't have a machine with that old OS so I cant fully test that.

1) No MC has no control over how the preview of PDF looks like..  It uses the Preview Handler that are install into the Windows Shell (Windows Explorer) MC has no control of the button inside it. It can all depends on what preview handler for PDF is installed.

2) You can edit the Preview template in Menu > Configuration > Preview Customization.. However I recommend to backup the DataPreviewTemplates.xml file first. since it is very easy to mess up the templates
and for PDF it is the "Windows Preview Handler" that needs to be modified. This also changes the template for all other format that are handled and shown by the Windows Preview Handlers. (pdf , ms office documents)

downgrade - i downloaded the  installation file and install it , without uninstalling previous version  ...so it overwrited the higher ver.

portable ver. 14.4  behaves same way as the installed - in extension plugin manager are the "Picture Tools" and "MCPictureViewer" missing

log is in attachement  - no error  (now ver 14.1)

Sorry I meant portable for 14.1 or 14.2, The new picture viewer was added in 14.3 We already establish that the new picture viewer does not work on Windows 8.
If that work then it is a configuration issue

Might be that something in the new PictureViewer is using something that Win8 does not support. I will check (  14.1 is using the old picture viewer, and is not depended on Windows)

config look correct. But hard to see from screen shots.
When downgrade.. did you do a full reinstall ? Does it work in portable package out of box without configuration ?

Not sure why View does not work for you. any error in the log windows (Ctrl+L) ?

Im not sure what you done.. If "View File" command in ButtonBar/Toolbar/Menu does not work.. F1 will not work either. they all connect to same command.. if button/Toolbar/Menu work but not F1 then it is mapping that is off

Else it is the configuration in FileType setup, There is a "Reset to default" button in the FileType setup that will remove all and replace with default.
the MCPictureViewer is devided into many profiles, So you can easily just replace some of them. and to also be able to remove the ones you don't want

O.K. I narrowed it down to SessionConfig, when I replaced that /w a copy from the Beta Portable, the Images are properly cycled & detected !! I'll see if I can make a transition to a working version of the SessionConfig folder without any data loss. Also I replaced Config + Extensions, but the bug still persisted. Now I need to find out what in the SessionConfig folder is causing the Images to not be detected.
P.S: I found it, it's a prob in SessionConfig\History folder !!!! Oops no it's something else, I'm still looking into it, now it says there's 147 images in Title Bar, I'll figure it out.
P.P.S: Now even the fresh d'ld copies are broken —they do not display the Folder Image Count in the Title Bar. 

It queue all files in the current folder. It filter away some know file types like .exe, dll, pdf and so on,  But it will can queue none image files.. it will just fail to load them and show a blank screen.

Hmm I can remapp all command to higher ids, so if there are some conflicts with app that hook them self into the application it might solve it.

Strang.. "Picture Tools" and "MCPictureViewer" is missing.
You can try to run the Update tool and select "Force" in settings..  Or reinstall.

There is no different from portable. It is the exact same exe.
And if it show 1/8 it detected other files in the folder..

So space / backspace key did not work (NOT toolbar icons) ?

You should have MCPictureViewer in the list and by default there should be a couple of items there.
Check the Extension/Plugin Manager under configuration and see if it is listed there. If not then you have a bad install.

So no commands works. that very strange. Does space / backspace work ?
Like something is blocking the command for you..  You have any program running that hook it self into running processes. Like autohotkey or thinks like that
