If possible, MC should start with left panel active.

Not in an easy way yet. Since all tab are independent instances of an extension/plugin. The one that get the startup focus during startup is the one that get created last.

Until that can be done, there is a workaround for it using script.
You can create a User Defined Command that is automatically run after startup that changes the tab focus.

To auto run a command after startup you need to add the -AutoRun=<command to run> parameter to MultiCommander.exe

Code: [Select]

MultiCommander.exe -AutoRun=AutoRun
And then create a User Defined Command of "CustomCommand" type, That you name "AutoRun" (or what ever name you choose for the -AutoRun= parameter), Then in that command you can write

Code: [Select]

MC.SetActivePanel PANEL=LEFT
