Beta Releases / Re: 15.6 BETA

Thanks for the new RC Mathias!

Audio-tool merge mp3 files is only available via MC menu/extra/auto tools - not via context menu?

I did not think about adding it there. Will see if that is possible.

Script / Re: Trying to make MC open automatically with single panel

« on: September 13, 2025, 08:42:39 »

No You are saying that MC should run the MultiCommander Script "SinglePanel" when it starts..  Are you sure that you have that script in MC ? that is not a default script.
That is a script you must have created

Support and Feedback / Re: New user: Folder size uses "size" and not "size on disk"

« on: September 12, 2025, 16:21:44 »

Currently I don't think so.

I think that image is a "sparse" file

A sparse file is a file that efficiently uses disk space by not allocating space for regions of zero-valued bytes. Instead, the file system keeps a record of these "holes," returning zeros on read operations without consuming physical disk space. This allows for the creation of very large files that take up minimal space.

Problem is that the normal way to scan the filesystem. it returns the reserved filesized. To get the actual size require a lot more work and is currently not supported.

The Log in MC..

And you script is named "SinglePanel" ?

(Also so you know, it is not recommended to always run in SinglePanel setup.. You do at own risk. . Program designed around two panel layout. )

For me it updates automatically. I can't replicate that it is not updated.

If you look in fileoperation or filesystem log (Ctrl+L) you might see some error there for that.

Strange. I can't replicate that

And you should not run multiple CustomCommands in a MultiScript, specially file operations commands since they are run in the backgrund, so they return directly so then the refresh is probably done before the delete has happend.

Also it is "NEWQUEUE" not "NOQUEUE" as optional parameters. but I don't think thats matters,

Does a Refresh (F2/F4 or press on Refresh icon) work ? will it refresh it to the correct state ?

Thank you very much for your help!
I just started using your program and I really like it. I have a few questions, but most of them have been answered.
How can I increase the font size in these areas?

Menu is actually drawn by Windows. This is drawn larger / smaller depending on your monitor scaling or windows settings for that.

Support and Feedback / Re: SFTP connection without SSH key password fails

I dont know what 3rd party ssh library they are using..

But sure you press OK in the ask password  dialog. because "Ask for password for keyfile failed - Aborting..." should only be outputted when canceling it.
I can't really test my self at the moment since I do not have access to any key login.

I added a password to the private key file via:

Code: [Select]

ssh-keygen -p -f
But that leads to the following error:

> Failed to authenticate using keyfile : -19

Then I deleted the PW again via the same ssh-keygen command and now MC accepts the empty PW (no popup appears), but this still ends in the same failed authenticate error message.

-19 = ERROR_PUBLICKEY_UNVERIFIED - The username/public key combination was invalid.

It should send a blank pw to SSH if you just press ok in password dialog. You sure there is not any other error.. Any error in the Log ?
Sure you press OK in the password dialog. the error "Ask for password for keyfile failed - Aborting..." is only outputted to the log if the Ask Password dialog is cancelled

Drives are one toolbar... FreeSpace info area are one. they are separate in MC.  They can't be merged into one.
But instead of have a drive bar inside the explorer panel. you can have a global one instead on top. to save some space..

Not sure that can be changed.  MC is using 3rd party library for the SSH. So MC do not have full control over everything

no it is different bars.. But why not have a global drive bar instead then you don't need the one inside the explorer panel.

Support and Feedback / Re: Had lost the thumbnails

« on: September 01, 2025, 07:00:59 »

So you did not have tumbnails but fix it.. Okey good.. using Windows in settings is preferred. It support many more file formats for thumbnails.  Auto will select Windows by default if you are on Win8+
Using Internal. MC only cache thumbnails to memory. so a restart will clear cache. Why It first did not work for you I don't know. But thumbnail system can log all error and what it does to the logs and any error would have been outputed there.

You can enter a "view filter" in the filterbox at the bottom of the Explorer Panel (where total num of files and total selections are shown )
You can quick go to the filterbox with Ctrl+F and then enter '.exe' and the view will be filtered to only show files matching .exe

Support and Feedback / Re: Copy: rename and append greyed out

« on: August 12, 2025, 13:25:29 »

No there is no setting for that.
I think it is because it is a move on same disk it already entered into a rename operation so data is never copied. so then it cant append

Its planned to redo how that entire dialog works. But the entire keyboard customization system is also planned to be rewritten, and it will not happen before that is done.
