Support and Feedback / Re: Create button with relative path

« on: June 16, 2026, 23:12:58 »

I found I can use something like:
${mcpath}\..\..\app.exe
and that works!

Sorry for the useless entry.

Support and Feedback / Re: Increase RAM/resources available to Multi Commander

Ok thanks, I'll investigate if there are other offending processes.
Just for clarity, what parameters are referenced on the docs/troubleshooting-hang page then?

Support and Feedback / Create button with relative path

« on: June 16, 2026, 22:56:52 »

Hello,
I'd like to customize a button to launch an app using a relative path.  This button would launch an app relative to the MC path.
I looked at external commands and I don't seem to be able to use %~d0 or the like.
I also looked at Multi-Script but the path commands seem to be related to the source or target panels.
Is there a way to achieve what I'm looking for?
Thanks in advance,
Fred

Support and Feedback / Increase RAM/resources available to Multi Commander

« on: June 16, 2026, 22:19:31 »

Hello,
I really enjoy using MC because of all it's configurations and amazing UI.  However, it often "pauses" or "redraws" the UI.  I won't say hang as I don't get any warnings or hung interface, it's just that either the interface doesn't register mouse commands (pauses) or the UI redraws several times in a row.
I have a fairly high end machine, Ryzen 9 9950x3d with 192Gb RAM, plugged on ethernet at 10gbps and paired with ab AMD RX7900XT so I was wondering if there's a parameter that I can set to allocate more RAM or a higher priority to MC (and if doing that would help with these issues).  On the docs/troubleshooting-hang page from the MC website it's written that
Cache settings: Optimize for your system
Memory limits: Configure for available RAM
but I can't find these settings in the configuration pages.
I used to work with FreeCommander and I don't recall having such issues in that app.
Thanks in advance for any hints you may be able to provide,
Fred

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

Thanks for the quick reply and my thanks for the app!  No big deal, I don't know much about OS and filesystems so I was mainly curious.  In this case, it's quite obvious there's such a sparse file there!

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

« on: September 12, 2025, 14:45:48 »

Hi,
I just discovered MC this month and it's absolutely amazing, thanks for a great software (donations are well deserved!).
When computing folder sizes, I noticed one folder was much bigger than it should and found I have a file with a reported size of 512GB but with a size on disk of 186MB.
Is there a way to use the size on disk instead of the reported size?

Thanks!
Fred
