Support and Feedback / Re: [BUG] Unicode NOT work

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on February 03, 2026, 14:51:01 »

Strange. MC do not convert filenames and Windows NTFS is using Unicode for filename. So it should just work.

If you got a filename that does not work. create an empty file with that name.. and just 7Zip to pack that.. (7Zip should support unicode.. Zip does not) and send me it.

Support and Feedback / Re: Column Width Problem

« Last post by total_annihilation00 on February 03, 2026, 11:58:53 »

Once you've tweaked the Columns, if you right click the Columns > Customize Columns… > Create a New Column Layout via the 'Plus' icon > Enter all your Drives into "Autoload on Path" /w "Valid For All Subpaths Under This Path" Checked & type out & click Add for each Drive (an Asterisk should appear in the Combo Box, then Save, when you open any New Tab or Folder, this Column Layout is enforced strictly, it's amazing, I had this same issue but it's fixed !
Add the New Drives like this:
C:\
D:\
F:\
G:\
H:\
(one by one, the C:\ & D:\ are my Hard Drives, & F:\ & G:\ & H:\ are my removable USB drives (tailor it to your needs).) & voila, you'll never have to resize the Columns or worry about them again !! —Hope it helps !

Yes I've experienced this as well, I d'ld some PDF's /w strange characters (authors names with accent characters), & MC didn't know how to display the files properly —until I went into Explorer & renamed them… I had this as a filename (14.6 MB):

Support and Feedback / Re: [Issue] New File Viewer is not opened if a previous one shows some modal message

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on February 03, 2026, 09:51:23 »

its becuas the error dialog is open.. Its a modal dialog. so it catches all the message so they are not recieved in the module that shows windows.. it happens because each Viewer is not its own process.  Not sure it is a bug.. More a limitation on how Windows old UI system works.

Support and Feedback / [Issue] New File Viewer is not opened if a previous one shows some modal message

1. View a file (F3)
2. Search (Ctrl+F) for non-existing text to get error window
3. View some other file.

Result: file is not opened for viewing.

I don't know whether it is a bug or by design, but it's a bit unexpected.

If I understand correctly, you need to open Explorer panes settings > Display > Save on exit, and uncheck "Remember only path to local hard drive"

Map a network shared folder as a drive in Windows. The MC label cannot be locked. After restarting, it will revert to the C drive.
