Beta Releases / MC V17 Early Access PREVIEW 2
« Last post by Mathias (Author) on Today at 12:05:54 »
Preview #2

----------------------------
Version 17 is not ready for stable release anytime soon, But it already has a lot of new things that need testing

Not everything added to v17 might be included in the final release.
v17 contain many MAJOR rewrites and new addition.

  • File Tags/Labels and comments system
  • Folder Specific settings
  • New Keyboard customization system
  • Total rewrite of List/Grid UI component used for File List view, FolderTree view, Most List/Grid UI componets. Without this rewrite all the 3 items above would not be possible
  • MultiFileViewer can now show CSV/Parquet files as data in a grid. and if it is CSV it can be edited and modified and saved backed
  • Some extension in MC can now be developed using .Net/C#
  • Checksum extension now support Blake3 checksum algorithm

This is a early preview. Since it is a early preview it is time locked. and will stop to work after sep-30. (but a new updated version will be out.. )
However it will not be possible to auto update this version until in reached beta. there might be more 16.x releases with fixes before this is officially out

Since this is early preview. NOW is the time to come with feedback you want something to change. How a features with file tags or folder specific settings works or something like that.

Since this preview is developed separately from v16.x, When a new preview is released, it might not have all the fixes or addition that 16.x has. Right not V17 Preview has everything 16.2 build 3205 has. (I think)

I dno't know.. WebView is a Microsoft component to show HTML in an application.. And used by lots and lots of apps..

In my system these "lots of apps" is exactly 1 app (besides MC).

Error 0x80080005 means "access denied". so something is blocking it.

Yes! I am the one to blame. About 3 years ago Microsoft tried aggressively to force me to use Edge browser so I searched for remedy. Found it here: https://www.sordum.org/9312/edge-blocker-v2-0/
As you see, it not only blocks Edge but WEbView as well.

Problem solved, thank you.

lets wait until next preview and see what stills applies..  lots around this are already changed so some of it is probably not valid anymore. See if I can put out a updated preview tonight

Sounds good !

Thought I might also bring these to your attention:
  • V16 shows a Color Picker popup (in Core Settings > Colors) but V17 goes straight to the Color dialog, if this is a design choice then ignore.
  • I found some other hotkeys using Page Up and Page Down to also be invisible/ hidden in the "Keyboard Customization" dialog !
  • Like the "Keyboard Customization" dialog that you resized, the "Folder Settings" dialog is also slightly lying out of the screen (might want to fix that as well.)
  • My File Header Column is buggy again, could be because I made a "User-Defined Script" to autorun (command-line parameter) to make the Left Panel 100% long, or could be because I manually edited the ColumnSets.xml and made some changes (renamed it to Default I don't know. But fixing the File Column Header (and Layouts) would be a big step up !
There was another minor coloring glitch but I omitted it for now: in V16 for instance I have (in Core Settings > Colors tab) Settings Panel > Tab > textcolor as "Button Text" ("Windows Standard Colors" option) which is black (correctly) but on V17 it shows "Button Text" text color as Gray/ White.

I just noticed this now, in V17, the "Date Created" File Column displays nothing ! It's an empty field throughout —it works fine in V16.2 ! Is this a known bug ?!

Column "Extended - Date Created" ?
Works for me. Strange..

You path say thumbstick. is that is usb stick mounted into a path ?  does it happens only under that path or everywhere ?

Yes, "Extended - Date Created" And no it's a local harddrive folder, not a USB Drive (I use it to store temporarily for transferring files to my USB Drive.) It happens everywhere. Even in a fresh copy of MC V17. (updated the screenshots)

Announcements and News / MultiCommander v16.5
« Last post by Mathias (Author) on September 11, 2026, 13:15:52 »
MultiCommander 16.5 is a minor update but with a major change.

Some 15+ minor fixes and stability issues.. and also..

MultiCommander now is digitally signed.  The installer and all program files are code signed,
so Windows shows the publisher name instead of the "Unknown publisher" warning, and security software is less likely to block them.

This is Funded entirely by user donations - thank you!

The certificate costs are expansive and needs to be renewed every year. (~350USD / Year)
So if you want to help keep MultiCommander signed, please consider donating
