If you can provide step by step on what you do and what goes wrong, I might be able to check it

Last post by total_annihilation00 - Today at 07:27:38Could you add a built-in dark mode theme? My custom CSS user style isn't rendering some elements correctly in dark mode. A native dark theme would be helpful. I didn't encounter this issue in the previous version.

Last post by total_annihilation00 - Yesterday at 15:45:13I noticed two issues with custom icons:
Could you clarify whether this is by design or a bug?
- Custom file icons (Configuration → File Type Setup) appear in Details View but not in Thumbnail View. Is this a known issue or expected behavior?
- Custom folder icons appear very small in Thumbnail View—the icon doesn't scale to fill the thumbnail area, so only a small portion is visible.
Could you clarify whether this is by design or a bug?

Last post by Viviancels - Yesterday at 11:23:20Hello. I have Multi Commander x64 16.6 (build 3230) on Windows x64 8.1 Pro & Windows x64 10
Attempt to verify folder throws "Not verified" error: https://i.postimg.cc/28nBQfMZ/2026-10-25-152159.png
Example file folder: https://dropmefiles.com/dSCoC
At the same time, Teracopy checks normally: https://i.postimg.cc/rmG9ZtYG/2026-10-25-152011.png
Perhaps LOG is required to identify the cause?
A couple of years ago, the SFV check worked

Last post by elmo7sharp9 - October 24, 2026, 07:06:45I'd like to switch between "Sort Files And Folders Separately" and having them mixed.
I have tried scripting a solution for this, but have got nowhere with it.
Currently, only a trip to "Configuration/Explorer Panel Settings/Sort Files And Folders Separately" and ticking/unticking works.

Last post by total_annihilation00 - October 20, 2026, 05:11:36Thanks for fixing everything, Mathias—you've really brightened my day ! It's working brilliantly now. Custom file and folder icons make a huge difference when working with lots of items.
I tested Color Rules, and they're working well. I had to adjust the color selection a bit, but haven't encountered any issues with the rules themselves. Also Gridlines, Italics-clipped text, deselecting when clicking empty area; all flawlessly working now !
Hopefully we can move to a stable release soon, as I may not have internet access when Windows 10 Extended Security Updates end (I believe that's in 2028).
One minor issue: the file list occasionally became unsorted during file operations (I think), and I had to press F5 to refresh. Nothing serious, though.
P.S. In Thumbnail Mode, there's a slight delay when I first drag the scrollbar in a folder containing 391 files, most of them compressed images around 3 MB each (they're AI-generated wallpapers and I use an AutoHotkey script to control the mouse via the keyboard —there's no lag in Detailed Mode.)

Beta Releases / MC V17 Early Access PREVIEW 4
Last post by Mathias (Author) - October 19, 2026, 11:05:18Preview #4
----------------------------
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.
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)
