Support and Feedback / Re: MC shuts down when copy pasting files

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on Today at 08:45:58 »

that is not a issue that has been reported before. Sound like something keeps a hold on the files before they let MC continue with them.. Maybe the security software is checking the files.
When it crash, Does it sends a crash report.. and if it does , tell me the crash Id and I can investigte the crash manually..
if it hangs..
Do this to create a dump of MC when it hang.
https://multicommander.com/Docs/troubleshooting-hang#creating-dump

and upload at https://multicommander.com/support/upload

Then I might see in the dump file what MC is waiting for

Support and Feedback / MC shuts down when copy pasting files

« Last post by Schoenend00s on Today at 08:19:12 »

Dear reader. I'm using MC for a long time, but since half a year I discover problems when I copy files of maps from one map to another. MC freezes and shuts down eventually. When I restart MC, the files have always been copied succesfully.

Does anyone know what the problem here could be? Thanks in advance.

Hi, could you explain how Linked Navigation works? I'm trying te set two different folders in 2 different locations and nothing happens when I change the folders. When I come back to the folder in left panel, second one (right) is  not changed to  the one which I set as linked one.

Is this something like scrolling both folders (left & right) simultaneously or this is only function to open remembered folders in both panels (linked  together)? Can we create few pairs of linked folders?

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Filter on typing

« Last post by BuGent on September 21, 2026, 08:38:32 »

In DC, there’s an option to switch between the different behaviors. When typing, it either filters or searches. And there’s a keyboard shortcut for the command line.

Of course, I understand the issue behind it. It could very well be that I’m simply the only one who is being held back from switching because of this.

In any case, thank you for your work.

Support and Feedback / Copy/Move Synbolic links broken in v. 16.0 and later

« Last post by bicyclops on September 20, 2026, 18:38:18 »

In Copy (or Move) dialog, Advanced
Junctions / Symbolic links set to Copy/Move links

Then copy or move a symbolic link to the opposite panel (using toolbar icon or shortcut key)
The link is not copied correctly.
For file symbolic links, the target of the link is copied or moved, not the link
For directory symbolic links, an empty directory of the same name is created in the opposite folder.
And if you had the bad fortune to move it rather than copy, the link target information is lost.

This works correctly in v. 15.8 (will prompt to retry as Administrator if not Admin already.)

Sorry, I haven’t made any fixes for this yet because I haven’t been able to reproduce the issue.

Until I can reproduce it, I won’t be able to reliably identify the cause or verify that a fix actually works.
I also don’t have the time to spend several hours trying different scenarios in an attempt to trigger the issue without any additional information.

I've installed the latest portable version into a new folder and experienced the same problem as I previously described.
