chrisjj,
Consider QuickLook. It supports MC. But I did not estimate its performance with large files.

Support and Feedback / Re: Can MC keep custom file placement in folders, or color files or folders?

« on: July 23, 2025, 08:07:52 »

Alternatively, I'm curious if MC can save colors to files or folders in order to make it easier for me to recall what they hold.

Yes, but it may be tricky since there're a lot pf options. You should enable File coloring: either via color spectrum icon on the toolbar or via menu > Explorer Panel Settings > File and Folder state colors > Rule based coloring for files and folders. There're also a bunch of options for background etc, be careful.

In the File coloring rules editor you can create you own profile and set up colors for everything.

If you want to set up coloring for some specific folder, you'll need to configure like on the picture

The Syntax file is not replaced if you had some changes to the file..  to avoid overriding user changes..

I don't remember changing syntax file(s)

But if you press the "*" button there. It will reset all of them.. 

Yes, it resets. And my screenshot was made after resetting.

ADDED - MultiFileViewer now has a syntax coloring template for .udc (MultiScript) files
ADDED - MultiFileViewer now has a syntax coloring template for .ps1 (powershell) files

I don't see them in the profiles (15.5.3102)

For me, both scenarios work.
But be careful with #2. If you enter Find and Replace editor (by pressing [...] button), it will corrupt your "|"-separated group as long as it itself uses "|" as a Find-Replace separator

It would be very helpful (for me). Maybe with the adjustable depth.

Shift+F3 seems to be the standard for "Find previous" action. Please add it to the MDV.

Support and Feedback / [Issue] MultiDataViewer: Find next only works at second try after Find Previous

« on: March 03, 2025, 09:04:24 »

1. Find some text (which occurs multiple times) in a file
2. Find next several times
3. Now Find Previous.

Result: selection immediately jumps to the previous result

4. Now Find next

Result: nothing happens

5. Find next again

Result: now selection jumps to the next result

Support and Feedback / [Issue] Unable to go to the root of virtual device/folder in the file list

« on: March 02, 2025, 09:35:39 »

I'm unable to go to the root of virtual device/folder in the file list. Look at the pics attached. If I press ENTER or double click on the [..] item, nothing happens. So for the "Portable" I can't return to the "WPD:\LG Wine Smart", and for the "Registry" -- to the "REG:\HKEY_USERS"

However, "Go to root" action (button or shortcut) works. MC v15.1.3074 x64 Portable, Win 11 Pro

Support and Feedback / [Issue] Copy file: unhandled error

« on: February 27, 2025, 16:06:12 »

1. Copy any file to some directory
2. Try to copy the same file to the same directory (using F5)
3. When MC asks what to do (skip/rename/overwrite etc) choose Rename
4. In rename dialog press [Cancel]


Result: error appears or copy dialog stucks for a while (happened only once)

Support and Feedback / [Issue] MultiDataViewer word wrap is broken

« on: February 17, 2025, 20:45:23 »

Just look at the screenshots attached.

1. It wraps when it's unnecessary
2. It doesn't wrap when it's necessary
3. Hyperlinks are wrapped incorrectly: the upper part of the link is highlited and treated as hyperlink while the lower part is excluded from highliting and the actual URL-address.

Support and Feedback / [Issue] MultiDataViewer strips spaces from Find and Highlight patterns

« on: January 30, 2025, 09:07:59 »

Example file:

Code: [Select]

.test test  testtest
Try to find and/or highlight "     test     " (with spaces, without quotes).

P.S. It seems that Copy/Paste shortcuts (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+Ins, Shift+Ins) don't work in teh Find and Highlight fields.

Open button editor, then activate MC main window. Now press Ctr[+Shift] and click desired button.
Alternatively, you may enable Wizard Mode, press Ctr[+Shift] and drag'n'drop some file/folder onto desired button.

@wynford
You can create a custom command which activates the left panel, and then launch MC with the command line parameter -AutoRun=[your custom command]

It can be done via MultiScript (at least for some checksum types). The only "problem" is that MC doesn't allow UDC to be used as an action source in File Type setup.

@python,
Did you create that folder manually yourself or it was made automatically by some built-in app? I mean if you manage to find a way to create such "strange" folders, it may give Mathias a clue.
