Support and Feedback / Re: How Do I Make A Color Profile Default ?
« Last post by Mathias (Author) on October 08, 2025, 08:40:59 »
If [Default] is shown as selected when dialog is opened then that profile is selected or no profile is selected.
If a color profile is active. then that profile should be shown when going into the color editor. But you can swich to another profile if you want to edit that.

Then just select the color profile you want to use from the dropdown in the toolbar to switch to use that profile

No all of them are shown in the dropdown list

Yes they are all shown, but only "[Default]" is the main picked one, and the others aren't being triggered even though I have them (there's no way to pick one as the main !) Only the "[Default]" Color Profile is ever executed, I can't get "Dark Mode" Color Profile to activate whatsoever !

It should auto select the profile that is currently selected. if there is one selected

I can't reproduce any issue.. strange.

"reverts to "[Default]" whenever I open Color Profile Editor"
Yes when you open the dialog it will show "[Default]" first. but all of them should be listed there. it is just an editor. does not mean that is the current one

Oh so everytime you open Color Profile Editor, only "[Default]" gets shown as populated ? But then my other Color Profiles don't get activated ?! I tried selecting my "Dark Mode" Color Profile but when I close the box, it shows "[Default]" as the main Last Used again everytime ! It's in the List but not populated as the chosen one.

That should work with just copy the file back to the Config/ColorRules folder and then restart MC

It work when I test it.
You might have to reselect the color profile again when MC is loaded the first time after it was copied back.

Did you restore to the correct folder? make sure it is to MC config folder under the userprofile and not install folder

I have the Portable MC so it goes into the MC app folder. Also I have it copied correctly in the ColorRules folder as "ColorRules_Dark Mode.xml" it appears in Color Profile Editor but just not populated as the Last Used item. It's not restoring the Last Used Color Profile whatsoever ! There is also a "ColorRules.xml" file in the Config folder as well, outside of the ColorRules Folder, that is being used as Default… I did mention terminating the MC process thinking I could prevent the deletion of that Color Profile… Also I have a "Dark Mode" Color Profile but it gets reverted to "[Default]" Color Profile everytime I open the Color Profile Editor !
P.S: O.K. so I have another MultiCommander portable fresh copy & that also reverts to "[Default]" whenever I open Color Profile Editor ! So it wasn't a problem with the termination of MC process after the accidental deletion of "Dark Mode" Color Profile. Looks like it's a bug —not a problem on my end.

The Default is special. it is not in the ColorRules subfolder. it is one step up. But it 'can' be overwritten in updates, but most likely will not. But why not just save as own profile name ?
MC will use the last used one.

It's not using the Last Used one, I accidetnally deleted a Color Profile called "Dark Mode" & then killed the MC Process in Task Man (Actually System Informer (my Task Man)) & now it won't load the Last Used Color Profile !
P.S: It was working before I accidentally deleted the "Dark Mode" Color Profile, mistakenly thinking I was deleting a Rule !
Is there a button next to "Close" in the Color Profile Editor, 'cause all I see is Close & the Save and stuff on top, not an Apply button.

The Default are the default for MC and they can be overwritten in updates.

MC will use the color profile that was last used next time MC starts
You can change the name by editing the the .xml file for the profile

MC will load all profile in that folder. Maybe you had edited the file and it was mallformened. so it should not read it ?

Malformed H'mm… I just renamed after duplicating my "[Default]" Color Profile to "DarkMode" (put "ColorRules_DarkMode.xml" into the "ColorRules" folder) & it still doesn't get set as the Default, I did that since you said the "[Default]" can get overwritten in updates. So where in the XML Settings is the default Color Profile set ? Perhaps I can change that so "DarkMode" is loaded as Default.
P.S: Oh that's right, when I acciddentally deleted my Color Profile I used Task Manager to kill the MC process hoping the delete would be registered, but it was deleted. Perhaps it got corrupted or something because of that ?
P.P.S: Also there's a "ColorRules.tpl" file in the Config folder, wonder what that does ? Also perhaps there should be a "Set As Default" button in the top in Color Profiles Editor ? And there is only a Close button for me, the Save only updates the individual Rules…
