press the other refrsh button in stead.. dont press the refresh for refresh folder tree if you do not want to refresh that.. then press the refresh for the file list

2
The tree is not refresh if you just refresh the filelist   the refresh button above the tree is for the tree view.. if you press the refresh above the filelist. the tree is not refreshed. of if you press F2/F5 (depending on setup) to refresh when focus is in the file list only the filelist is refreshed

3
That because when you refresh it actually rebuild the entire UI tree and make sure that all folder and files are in sync (exists)

Settings.

Explorer Panel Settings > Display (Tab) > Save on exit (Almost last in the list)

Uncheck That is it should only remember paths to local HD, (trying to access remote drives that are gone at startup can make MC Hang for a while until window tells it , that it is not there. )

Thank you, Mathias ! Sorry for the late reply, I was having probs accessing MC servers and d'ling updates, that's why. :D

I had lots of AI and other Bots flooding the server I think was been able to block most of them now

You want to show the MC fileoperation progress dialog when you copy with Windows Explorer ? No MC can't replace things in Windows.

You can configure the MC fileoperation dialog not to autoclose in core settings.

When you tell MC do copy using internal methods. it will use Internal dialog.. If you copy using windows it will show Windows progress.

The focus indicator is now always at the very top in the first row. I could swear that it used to be at the top on the first file. Or am I mistaken?? I had already come up with the idea that one could remove this row entirely and leave out the jump one level up, or place it as a button in the Explorer’s toolbar instead. But the row is needed for the context menu in the empty space, for example to create a new text file. Sorry, maybe off topic.

No always been that by default, the focus is set to first item ".."  so that if you press return to enter.. you should just press return again to go out, (its like that by design to navigate in and out of folder faster)

But there is option to remember the item focus when you leave.. so if you move down to item 4.. and then leave with backspace.. and then go back in. it will then set focus to item 4.

Dll hell is over. because all apps have there own version. ;)
Before when you installed shared version, than some software with would stop working because some software downgrade the file to a previous version.
Or upgrade it and the API in it required some changes. or that some app removed it because the app was uninstalled.

The standard today is to make sure the software you install include all the files it need. and don't use shared dll.. So many bugs and issue can be track to the shared dll hell.

Drive space is cheap today compare to the WinXP Days.  Share the dll and save 2 MB per app or have each app have there own version of the file and get a more stable system. ?

Queue hang -
  • Seems random, probability increases when an external drive is connected & accessed for part of the queued items.
  • Queue hangs & transfers fail, sometimes it is the 2nd item queued that MC hangs on, sometimes it will run thru the queue until the very last file in the list & then hang.
  • Queue hangs - type & qty of files/folders vary but I get the strange value outputs in the move dialog when in hung state as per post
:-


This is not something I been able to reproduce on any machine, so I have to let that be and hope somebody can provide steps to reproduce.  It does not look to be common since I can't reproduce it.

F1 no longer invokes the MDV (as also noted by total_annihilation00)
Known issue with Win10, Should work on win11, but see https://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php/topic,5176.0.html

Drive letter display drops letter after invoking copy/move operations.  See attached.
??

Ctrl+V to create a new file using copied text or image etc no longer works
Not able to reproduce. Is it only some files ? some data ?

  • MC queue caused lock-ups with MC <25% CPU use & random values for file sizes & number of files.
Not able to reproduce, Always or only sometimes ?

  • Files wouldn’t complete the tx, sometimes it would be the 2nd file in the queue, others the last file queued.
Don't understand

  • File sizes from <1kb to >30gb, any number of files per folder/folders per selection - did not change the weird counts. 
Eh  ? Don't understand ..

Yesterday I moved ~15 files total ~3gb, MC hung on ~28% CPU & the dialog stated 129.3TB, & 0000s files moving.  Impossible for my machine.
Cant reproduce.. But If it hung. Then you can create a dump from task manager and I can see what it is hung at..
What it something special with the move operation ? any error in the log ?

This is beta version. so please keep it to the beta forum.. (I moved post)

Yes a file is missing for Windows 10, on Win11 this file is already installed by the system.


Unpack and place the included file next to MultiFileViewer.dll, for example in C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\Extensions\MultiFileViewer\
But it depends on install folder.

( Issue #1 ) With the newest Beta update (3166), my File Internal-Text-Viewer hotkey isn't firing (it's set to Ctrl+Shift+F1.) As well as the View-File (set to F1) isn't working either. Was working before ! I'm on Windows 10.
P.S: Internal-Picture-Viewer is working fine though. I tried changing Internal-Text-Viewer to another keyboard combo, still doesn't fire. Also I have a "Smart Open (Ctrl+F9)" UDC script (that routes filetypes to custom apps) and that was taking a long time to fire (after the latest beta update), the script is finally working now (Internal-Text-Viewer and File-Viewer still remain broken) but might be related to the misfiring Internal-Text-Viewer. Also the User-Defined-command I have to open a Text File in Internal-Text-Viewer is also not working: MC.View FILE="D:\Download\My Docs\cpp programming notes.txt" VIEWAS=".txt" Please release a fix soon !
This is my Multi-File-Viewer config file I'm attaching (I use the "Audiowide" font if that helps):
Looks like the update tool miss copy of WebView2Loader.dll, The viewer now depends on that file to be able to show an embedded web rendering using edge,
On Windows 11 this fie exists already on the system so that is why it only fails on Win10.   

( Issue #2 ) When moving some file to my USB Drive (F:\) the progress got stuck & never completed ! Resulted in data loss.
Sounds very strange. The source file are not deleted until windows has reported all data to target file are written. Sounds more like HW error.
I can't reproduce it. next time check if there are any errors reported in the fileoperation log (ctrl+L)

Quick look and feel just change settings in the normal setting you see in Core and Explorer Panel settings.. but one click change many settings.
If you enable full app logging. then you see in the log exactly what it does during startup and you can see what takes time.

Cache folder size is only if you have the "everything" tool installed. it is a external tool (https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/ ) that MC can ask to get folder size from.

MC is using newest version of LibSSH2 ( v1.11.1 )

Last time I check it was an issue with LibSSH2 not supporting it on Windows 7 since it require method that only exists on Windows 10. Problem is that they are not checking if that method exists dynamically. so it is required at build time.  so then MC will not work on Win7. (Still around 3-4% of users is using MC on Win7, But more and more issues popup to be able to support Win7.  )
I been thinking about building two version of the FS-SFTP extension, (Win7 version and one normal for newer Windows ) But that require a lot of handling and thing around that need to be changed. And I have not had time to investigate all that

I can't reproduce that.   The column thing might be fixed with the other column issues that was fixed.. but the miscalculation of items I can't reproduce.

Thanks for fixing the column thing ;)
I am still having the queue weirdness but I suspect that the fact I'm using a custom commmand & the NODIALOG option may be related as F6 has behaved better.
See attached CC dialog entry.
So what is happening ? items not added to queue at all ?  What is the situation. lots of large /small files.. and you add to existing when there is allready a file operation in process... so it is not added to queue ? or something else.. ?

Hmm Strange.. When I restart I get the same setup as I had when I closed the app.

No I assure you there's a bug where it resets back to Name Ascending on all tabs initially on restart. I suspect another user also has this problem. What did get fixed is when a new tab is opened it retains the correct sorting, but on app restarts it still is broken and fails to store the sorting settings. So tab-wise it's fixed, but session-wise it's still glitchy.


Its probably a bug, But If I can't reproduce it. I can't fix it.  And unfortunately, I haven't been able to replicate this behavior. Because my development time is limited, I have to prioritize bugs with clear reproduction steps.
I'll keep this issue open in case others can provide more details or specific steps to help me trigger the issue.

I don't really understand that you trying to say what you are doing.   I can't reproduce that columns goes away by them self.

The Tabs when restored on next startup get changed back to Name Ascending (Default). My config is Date Descending. Maybe set *all* tabs to the stored Sorting Preferences in Explorer Panel on startup ? That should fix it.

Hmm Strange.. When I restart I get the same setup as I had when I closed the app.

Still getting Bad Gateway when trying to upload, 7z is <67mb

Strange.. Works for me.. Tested on two different networks.. Maybe some FW that bocks for you ?

I can upload stuff elsewhere, also tried different IPs but still seeing "Bad Gateway
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
"   :-\

I noticed that when moving 3 folders & contents (15 files) total ~700mb, it did the same hang on high CPU - see the attached pic, sizes & numbers are way off.  The size of 2.8TB is also larger than the drive in use. 

& FWIW I'm also seeing the column sort by Date function as non-persistent.
If RMB save as default on column is used, it immediately reverts to by name as the command ends, I did check the explorer panel settings & they look OK still.....so probably a bug as suspected.

I can't reproduce that.   The column thing might be fixed with the other column issues that was fixed.. but the miscalculation of items I can't reproduce.

I can extract a zip with subfolders and they are created.  Can you explain what you are doing.. What do I have to do to reproduce it ?
Simply select the ZIP file without opening it and extract it with Alt+F6. Then the main directory with the name of the ZIP file should be created in the target directory, and this should also work for multiple ZIP files at the same time, if I’m not mistaken. In any case, the main directory named exactly like the ZIP file is not created, and the error message appears instead. Edit: "Unpack Archives into individual Folders" have to be enabled.
As I said above.. Single file zip was the issue. There is an optimization for zip with only a single item in them, and it did not create the target path if it was missing.

The error described above bothers me too. I have also noticed that when extracting with Alt+F6, directories are no longer created automatically, and instead an error message appears saying that the target path does not exist.

Well As written in changelog. entire fileoperation engine is redone so errors in that is expected..

But I can't reproduce this. I can extract a zip with subfolders and they are created.  Can you explain what you are doing.. What do I have to do to reproduce it ?

Ahh It must be a single file in the zip in the root of the zip..
