Support and Feedback / Re: Linked Navigation

« Last post by Lukasz S. on Today at 20:44:08 »

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.

When UPDATING to the latest portable version, Tip #29 is blank again. See screenshot. When INSTALLING the latest portable into a new different folder, the tip does display correctly.

Beta Releases / Re: MC V17 Early Access PREVIEW 2

1. When multiple tags are set, they can completely overlap a filename.

2.Tags can be toggled via toolbar, but the icons' states aren't synchronized with the real tags state. I mean toolbar buttons are always drawn unpressed. I suggest make the buttons of active tags pressed.

3. I think it would be helpful to implement some kind of dropdown list with tags. E.g. on Shift+F6 one can invoke in-place rename. So it could be something similar, but with tag list instead of edit box.

4. Tags toolbar is limited. Personally, I would like to see customizable toolbars which can be docked/sticked to any side of MC. At the moment, only button panel is dockable. The displays are wide, why not use horizontal space?

1. Yes I notice.. that will be fixed

2. Toggle, Or added or remove.. depending on key you hold, So it is not just toggle, anyway,, Syncing state, I don't think so. it would require it to sync each time focus or selection is changed., lots of extra compute just for changing focus.  You see state after the file with badges or icons or as text in extra column. I think that is enough. at least for now

3. Dropdown.  interesting idea, Maybe, will have to check if it is possible, Hmm I was thinking about having a popup that was shown on special key. but Dropdown might also work.

4. Rewrite of entire toolbar system is not in the scope of this release. I got it as a "nice to have" thing on my todo list for future improvements.. but that is a major separate task

Kind of impossible to fix something I can't replicate
