Support and Feedback / Running the Multi Commander Portable version and registry entries are created

« Last post by JBG2963 on Today at 20:06:10 »

I'm running the latest Multi Commander Portable version. I checked the registry and entries are being still being created. For a portable version, all values should be created on the individual PC. In addition, there are two registry entries - one for Multi Commander and the other is MultiCommander. See attachment.

Please advise.

Root cause is that the Trend sucks. and they have bad way to detect threats. The way AV software work it is real easy to flag files that are not an issue.

And False Positives are super common for Filemanager application. AV software see that this application is using lots of file APIs and that look suspicious so then it flags it, It often goes away after a while when their process have checked it more in depth or something.

Since false positives are super common a good way to verify is to use virualtotal.com to check files. if just some report its bad then its probably false positives. if most of them flags it then it is bad.

Support and Feedback / File Verifier does NOT check sha files

« Last post by SwissKnife64 on Yesterday at 09:04:04 »

Observation: when clicking on SHA checksum file, the "File Verifier" opens. I can add the corresponding file for check. Pressing the start button for the SHA check , 0 (zero) files are checked.
Using the dialog with only a MD5 checksum, the dialog adds the corresponding fiel automatically and check works fine.

Expectation: the SHA check works the same way as the MD5 check.

Version: (x64) v16.2 (build 3205)

Support and Feedback / Created new Favorites Quick Path and it duplicated

« Last post by JBG2963 on August 19, 2026, 22:46:16 »

Hi,

I'm new with using Multi Commander - Portable (x64) v16.2 (build 3205) - Date of build : Aug 19 2026. What I did was create a new Favorites Quick Path. The stars along with the same shortcut numbers and names were duplicated. Is this the way the software should work? If not, it's a bug. I've attached a screenshot.

Please advise.

Thank you,

Support and Feedback / Re: Multi Commander startup time is about 70 seconds

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on August 17, 2026, 11:16:26 »

Sorry. No there is no difference in the code for this. code for this is exactly the same in 15.x and even in 16.x  But Windows it self should cache device status.

You can turn off device in core settings > FileSystem > Tweaking.
Under Hide Device. then MC will not probe any of them.

One more thing occurred to me: I reverted the registry change and launched MC v15.5 and v15.6 again. And bingo—fast starting v15.5 correctly distinguishes between online and offline network drives and displays them correctly. That doesn't happen in v15.6. It shows W: incorrectly as connected and did not show X:. There is a fundamental difference here.
