Support and Feedback / Re: [HELP] Dynamic File Extension-Based Execution Script (Possible Implementation ?)

« on: November 03, 2025, 15:01:07 »

I got AI to generate valid MultiScript. But you need to make sure the AI knows how MultiScript works firsts.
Like either linking to all the pages and examples on the documentation page or copy and paste that information into a document that you include to the LLM.

I think it should be possible.. what error do you get?

Maybe start with checking just one file extension , one if/else part then then build it up with more..


Hm "elseif" I dont think is supported..  I think it must be "else if"  two words
and Boolean operator like || is not supported..
Create a method that return true/false..  and in that you check for wanted extensions..

function IsTextFile($ext)
{
  if( $ext == "txt" ) { return true; }
  if( $ext == "nfo" ) { return true; }
  if( $ext == "cfg" ) { return true; }
  return false;
 }

if( IsTextFile($ext) )
{
  // open as text file
}

That error is actually shown if it fails to delete the current file. It need to delete it before it can save the new.
Might be that the file has readonly attributes or file permissions that prevent its

If installed
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\MultiButtons.xml

if portable version it is in the Config/MultiButtons.xml

There is no visual compare difference things in MC.
Only that it compares two folders and select matching or none matching files based on rules.

Support and Feedback / Re: Bug 2025: all files and folders in the current folder randomly become duplicated

« on: October 29, 2025, 07:21:31 »

Becuase it is not reproduceable
It is probably a timing issue or something when the filesystem changes while it is already updating it or something. There are locks so this should not happen but look like on some system it can happen anyway some rare times.
But never been able to reproduce it.

A Force fresh should fix it, F2/F5 (depending on key setup)

I don't really understand. You can explain it with more information so I would be able to test..

You mean in the "view filter" that filter out items in current view ? or do you mean file search ?

And you mean that you got filenames like "Smith, Arnold.txt" or how do the filename looks like

MC do support Unicode, So all language should be supported.. I don't think there are some special thing that is needed for just hebrew, It should be covered in the Unicode standard.
Might be that outlook does not send it as unicode Then the conversion should be based on the language set by the OS.

Explorer panel settings > Layout (tab)
Under "User Interface Components" you have the device dropdown list. There you can turn of "Remember last accessed subpath"

But you can also go to root with Ctrl+Backspace (or go to root icon button)

Support and Feedback / Re: What are your experiences with the PDF Preview?

« on: October 13, 2025, 11:47:15 »

PDF preview in MC is using the Windows Shell PreviewHandler (IPreviewHandler interface).
So the preview is dependend on what PDF preview handler that is installed.. It is only tested and verified with the build in viewer in Windows

Support and Feedback / Re: How Do I Make A Color Profile Default ?

« on: October 08, 2025, 10:49:17 »

I don't understand how it can fail for you. Is the other color profiles not even shown in the dropdown menu on the toolbar ?

The other Color Profiles are indeed listed in the dropdown menu in Color Profile Editor, however they don't stay/ retain as the chosen item or trigger. The listed item just reverts to "[Default]" everytime I re-open the Color Profile Editor (they don't get deleted or anything if that's what you mean.).

Also remember when I said the "Name Ext Size Date" Column bar changes size, it's happening a lot lately, wish there was a way to Lock it !

No not "dropdown menu in Color Profile Editor," The dropdown.. when you click on the colorwheel icon on the main toolbar.. where you select what color rule to activate..

Dont remember the column issue.. But I have not seen any issue with column.. for me they are always the same.. and never changes. I have auto-fit column to view width active and then I just set the sizes of the column and save that. then only the name column will expand or shrink depending on how large the window is. the other will use the set width

There is a Save button to save a changes to a rule.

So you do the change... close dialog.  and if you changed the currently active profile the change should be active directly else you need to switch to that color profile you edited in the dropdown list that is shown when pressing the color icon button.

If [Default] is shown as selected when dialog is opened then that profile is selected or no profile is selected.
If a color profile is active. then that profile should be shown when going into the color editor. But you can swich to another profile if you want to edit that.

Then just select the color profile you want to use from the dropdown in the toolbar to switch to use that profile

No all of them are shown in the dropdown list.
It should auto select the profile that is currently selected. if there is one selected

I can't reproduce any issue.. strange.

"reverts to "[Default]" whenever I open Color Profile Editor"
Yes when you open the dialog it will show "[Default]" first. but all of them should be listed there. it is just an editor. does not mean that is the current one

That should work with just copy the file back to the Config/ColorRules folder and then restart MC

It work when I test it.
You might have to reselect the color profile again when MC is loaded the first time after it was copied back.

Did you restore to the correct folder? make sure it is to MC config folder under the userprofile and not install folder

The Default is special. it is not in the ColorRules subfolder. it is one step up. But it 'can' be overwritten in updates, but most likely will not. But why not just save as own profile name ?
MC will use the last used one.

Support and Feedback / Re: How Do I Make A Color Profile Default ?

« on: October 08, 2025, 06:58:27 »

The Default are the default for MC and they can be overwritten in updates.

MC will use the color profile that was last used next time MC starts
You can change the name by editing the the .xml file for the profile

MC will load all profile in that folder. Maybe you had edited the file and it was mallformened. so it should not read it ?

Most config files are read at startup. Have you restarted it after replacing it ?

Adding files to C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\ColorRules\
and then reboot.. and they should be shown.

Don't think 50178 is correct. anyway..

Create a UserDefinedCommand  of type : Internal Command

and select "MultiCommaner (base)" as module
and "Manage aliases" as command

« on: October 04, 2025, 01:02:12 »

MC do not read overlay icons it self. It ask Windows about the overlay icon. So it should return the same as explorer. Just makesure you reboot window after modifying the registry for the overlay icons.
However it can also be 32bit / 64bit issue.. make sure you modify both locations

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\
