In Tools > File Links > Create Links… > Under 'Symbolic Link', it says "none existing" —it should be "non-existing" (with hyphen) instead. Just found this while testing stuff out in V16 beta. Thought I'd let you know…

Beta Releases / Re: Core Settings Contents Hidden (Explorer Panel Working)
« on: April 25, 2026, 21:15:27 »If you edit the file correctly it should have restore the settings. might be that you missed some tags some places.. format is xml so it require correct structure to be read correctly.
But new version out.
It will try to recover corrupted MultiCommander.xml file when loading it.
The Error was that setting page was wrong so it could not be opened. and that resulted in it saving a multicommander.xml with a error value in it. and when reloading then new top level xml nodes started to be added to the file making it so it failed to load config.
From build 3154, it will remove all extra xml top level tags that should not be there and try to restore the config file.
Settings page now works again.
Thanks for letting me know ! but I fixed it via a 13 day old backup config & the last Beta Zip download from MC homepage —so I'am continuing from my last backup although I did update to V16 when I heard you mention it's fixed. P.S: I tested just now & confirmed it's properly migrating to the latest Beta (/w the corrupted version (zip) I saved for posterity) !

« on: April 24, 2026, 16:57:57 »that file is your settings so it depends on you settings.. YOu just delete it. and it will be created with default settings
file should look like
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config global="0" Build="3151">
<AskLanguage value="0"/>
<appinfo>
at the beginning only 1 "<config" tag
and one </config> close tag
<experimental>
<darkmode value="0"/>
</experimental>
</config>
then just search for "</config>" and make sure there is no one except at the end of the file
Hm if you run portable version it may say
<config global="1" Build="3151">
at the top
Thanks I'll try !
P.S: Maybe it's not MC's fault, I installed NeoJ2ME emulator to play Mobile games, & it dropped a ton of folders in my MC folder ! Maybe that's why it isn't functioning properly ! Anyway I'll try to fix it manually your way first.
P.P.S: I reverted to the old Zip version download (Feb 2) while preserving my Config backup taken 13 days ago, I'm back in my MC !! Kept off the updates for now.
By the way, when I removed those 2 config tags (first & last) it reset my Config to default, so maybe that wasn't it afterall ! But yeah let me know if MC is still geared towards Win 10.

Included is a correct MultiCommander_def.xml
the MultiCommander.xml (your settings.. got extract </config> tags..extra <config at the beging should be remove.. and all </config> except last one should be removed.
Alright thanks, I'm on it ! O.K. wait that last bit is tricky. Can you Direct Message me /w the fixed file please ?
P.S: I reverted to the old version /w my Config backup from 13 days ago. It's working but I get the error "14 ExtensionModules was invalid and could not be loaded. This can happen after a failed upgrade or external modules that needs to be updated separately." Nevermind I fixed that by replacing the Extensions folder. I'am using a backup from 13 days ago plus the Feb 2 MC Beta. I still have my recent broken version backed up if you can provide me /w the MultiCommander.XML fixed file please…

Beta Releases / Core Settings Contents Hidden (Explorer Panel Working)
« on: April 24, 2026, 15:52:43 »
After MC V16 update when I opened Core Settings, everything is hidden quickly after a refresh, I can't view anything in here anymore. It was working before I think. Explorer Panel Settings is unaffected (I can see the controls properly.) I'm using MC Portable Beta on Windows 10 Enterprise if it helps. Is it only me having this issue ?!
P.S: No ! Now when I clicked "Show Hidden/ System Files Folders" icon (it was hidiing before) all my Tab files & folders disappeared !! & it's not toggling anymore. Now my MC Config File has become corrupt after re-opening 'cause I wanted to relaunch & see if the folder contents was appearing again after a relaunh. Also, it showed me the "Layout Look And Feel" Dialog before saying the Config is corrupted. Is there a solution ?

Support and Feedback / Re: Transfer speeds to USB
« on: March 20, 2026, 09:18:58 »I’m wondering if it’s just me or something that is a general issue.
I'm using v15.8 b3135 on Win11 x64
When using native Windows ctrl+x/c & ctrl+v to move files to attached USB drives I’m seeing very different TX speeds vs MCs’ copy/move commands With same file / hardware - I’m seeing MBs vs KBs on a USB3.0 link which leads me to suspect MC has something slowing the process.
It starts out OK but then speed drops significantly to KBs using MC but using the MC dialog + win cmds it maintains MBs TX rates.
Applies to NTFS > NTFS & NTFS > exFAT.
Can this be improved/altered?
Try using TeraCopy (free utility by CodeSector) —it greatly improves transfer speeds ! (especially Move operations which are sometimes instant, but other operations are faster as well when you use it !) It's a highly optimized file transfer tool.

Script / [SCRIPT] Set As Background Wallpaper (Stretched etc.)
« on: February 06, 2026, 03:38:16 »
Useful "Set As Wallpaper (Stretched)" PowerShell Script for Custom Context Menu Integration. This script enhances the context menu to reliably set an image as wallpaper in "Stretched" mode, circumventing limitations in MC (MultiCommander) where the "Set As Background Image" option is unavailable—particularly in Flat View. By adding this as a custom context menu item (configured via Config > "Custom Context Menu"), users can consistently apply wallpapers regardless of MC's view mode.
Implementation Details:
Update the $ScriptFilePath variable in the script with your local path (ensure directory separators are escaped with double backslashes \\).
Supports multiple display modes; create five different scripts /w provided values (see below), e.g.:
Notes:
Tested on MC 15.8 running on Windows 10.
To add to the context menu: navigate to Config > "Custom Context Menu" and add the script.

O.K. I did some further testing & got to the bottom of it: It only happens on custom-defined fonts. I had 1 duplicate separate MultiCommander using "Segoe UI" fonts, & it displayed the file properly, but my *main* MultiCommander, which uses "KDam Thmor Pro" (it's a Google font (free downloadable fonts.google.com)) 'causes severe rendering glitches when showing the file on screen !! So that's the prob really: the font, not an issue /w Windowz 10 or MC ! I think "KDam Thmor Pro" font can't display those unsupported & unusual characters !

If you got a filename that does not work. create an empty file with that name.. and just 7Zip to pack that.. (7Zip should support unicode.. Zip does not) and send me it.

The file is glitchy when viewed from MC —it isn't rendered properly clearly, & you probably cannot interact /w it in any way whatsoever… P.S: Will expire in 50 days as I cannot upload .7z on this forum, so I used Upload.ee, they mangle the filename but the PDF inside should be intact.

Just curious: would it be possible for you to serialize the Loop setting so it's persistent across launches ? I hate having to right-click & toggle it On everytime. 
Please consider it, because that is how I intended it to function —that's why I said "make it a Checkbox option in Core Settings or Explorer Panel" —I'am fine /w it as it is (in Popup Menu), but I'd just like it to remember the setting (should stick for the next launch automatically) ! Thank you ! 
[Workaround]: I was able to emulate setting of the Loop to PlayAudio via a User-Defined Command ("AR") MultiScript set on AutoRun=AR CommandLine parameter at Startup —but I would still like this implemented (the persistent Loop setting) in a future release please::

I can add so .mid files are sent to the MediaEngine. But if something is actually playing or not is not up to MC. Playing audio is handled by Windows. So it depends on what codecs is installed in Windows.
Alright, thank you —that'd be excellent ! Ideally, Looping should be configured via a checkbox setting in either Core Settings or Explorer Panel Settings (whichever, I get confused.) Also, .MID should be played —I'am not 100% certain though.
P.S: You can test /w this .MID (MIDI) audio file (they are all generally very tiny file-sized): BSQ.MID (36 KB)

Beta Releases / Re: 15.7 BETA
« on: December 13, 2025, 00:17:54 »Don't COMBO have a special quarantine area where it places files ? It just deletes them ?
It might be that COMBO have renamed them. It does not have an UI where you see files it quarantine ? and from there you can bring them back ? Most AV software has that.
( From AI :
The COMODO quarantine area is a secure, isolated section within Comodo antivirus software where potentially malicious or suspicious files are stored.
These files are encrypted and prevented from running to ensure they cannot infect your system or cause any harm)
So you might need to restore them from within COMBO.. you will not find them your self
Maybe change AV software. Often built in Defender is good enough unless you don't have special requirements.
Problem with all FileManager is that AV software finds them suspicious.. Here is an app that have code much code in it to handle files, copy, rename, and delete them.. That is very suspicious. So all FileManager often lots gets false positives results on them. And there is nothing to do about it.
No worries, it's all good ! & no, COMODO does a weird 'Reverse & Block' operation when it detects CryptoLocker threats (ofc this was benign) & so all the transfers are cancelled & undone. It's alright though, I guess it guards the Downloads folder a little too aggressively. Those games were just Zips of the Installers, the actual games are already installed (I re-downloaded a bunch of them in GOG edition so they're guaranteed to work.)

Suffered from 2 data losses in MC: #1 My Aliases were lost #2 Yesterday I was attempting to move 5-7 Zip Files (400 MB total of MS-DOS games) & COMODO flagged MC as 'Possible Cryptolocker' & all my files got lost in the transfer when COMODO quarantined MC. I searched everywhere for the Zips but they were lost forever. This specific Cryptolocker transfer abortions happened to me before twice: when moving some images to & fro Downloads folder, & also when mass-renaming files in Downloads, triggering COMODO Cryptolocker Recognizers ! It's a shame —they were retro-games ! (though I recovered a bunch of them (GOG editions so they're guaranteed to work !)) I remember setting MultiCommander as Trusted in COMODO AV so I never saw this coming ! (maybe 'cause of an Invalid Certificate issue ? Just a hunch…) :'(
P.S: I fixed it (hopefully) by disabling the CryptoLocker Recognizer module in COMODO AV/FW.
