I think we shouldn't be able to set like and dislike together it doesn't make sense:-)

When you say "like" and "dislike", it sounds like "good" and "bad". But a tag is basically just a text/color. I suppose, technically everything is possible, but I find implementing non-overlapping tag/groups unnecessarily complicated. What if you tagged a file with "like", but then decide to change it to "dislike", what should be done -- silent change or some warning? It would be a mess.

I've tagged thousands of files, using different tag combinations to represent various states. Losing these tags would be a serious problem, as creating them was extremely time-consuming. I think how it is is correct, no need to change their functionality.

Hi,

Thanks total_annihilation00, my comments:

1. I was looking in settings, but I missed it :-)
2–3. I think we shouldn't be able to set like and dislike together it doesn't make sense:-) In other, mainly graphic apps, we can set one tag only (star rating, clasification) to the picture. Similarly, if I set a work tag I do not set it as personal
4. I know, but there is separate filter option which I showed on screenshot.

Anyway, tags are very good feature in MultiCommander. I'll keep testing it.

Actually, I often assign multiple tags to a single item (chaining them)—for example, using the white-flag tag to mark my favorite game ROMs and the dislike-flag tag to identify ROMs that have been AI-patched.

If you're wondering how to add a custom filter to the filter box's right-click menu:

1. Right-click the filter box and select Customize.
2. Click the green + button.
3. Create a filter with these settings:

Display name: Tagged Items Only

Filter:
$Important $Work $Personal $Review $Archive $Like $Dislike

Bug: Paste action unavailable on an empty USB drive

After formatting a USB drive, I couldn't paste files onto it because the drive was empty and the Paste action wouldn't trigger. I had Show hidden and system files disabled (Enabling the setting displayed the hidden 'System Volume Information' folder, after which copy/paste worked again —This seems like unexpected behavior: file operations on the drive shouldn't depend on whether hidden or system files are visible (thereby requiring a single file/folder to exist).)

The Paste action should be available when browsing an empty removable drive, regardless of whether hidden and system files are displayed.

Additional note: I use TeraCopy, which prompts me to choose between TeraCopy and File Explorer for transfers. This could be specific to my setup, but the transfer never starts because the "..." indicator doesn't appear in the file list's first column.

Maybe just use the emoji in the editor ,  I don't have control of how they built the forum system so I can't do much about it.

Yeah I need to make a mental note not to use emoji's —only the Forum smilies.

I couldn't post to the forum for a while because I kept getting a "Database error. Please retry." message. It turned out the post contained emoji, which the forum apparently doesn't support. After removing them, the post went through.

Thank you, Mathias—Christmas came early this year! I'm loving the new thumbnail support for custom file and folder icons, the status bar updates, and especially the ":" command-line autocomplete feature.
