Beta Releases / MC V17 EARLY PREVIEW

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on Today at 13:03:28 »

Version 17 is not ready 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.

• File Tags/Labels and comments system
• Folder Specific settings
• New Keyboard customization system
• Total rewrite of List/Grid UI component used for File List view, FolderTree view, Most List/Grid UI componets. Without this rewrite all the 3 items above would not be possible
• MultiFileViewer can now show CSV/Parquet files as data in a grid. and if it is CSV it can be edited and modified and saved backed
• Some extension in MC can now be developed using .Net/C#
• Checksum extension now support Blake3 checksum algorithm

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)

No you can't do that.  They would get so much work to handle all the reports, and they don't want to do that
They don't care.  since they use signature checking and analytic to determine if a program should be flagged or not. there will always we false positives.  It often fix it self since people white list good software and AV companies will get reports on this and so on.

Can the developers write to Norton and Trend Micro and ask them to white list the program?

They should give their own reasons they are flagging the program as infected.

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

« Last post by JBG2963 on August 21, 2026, 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.

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.
