I guess you update from older.. maybe something went bad in update and did not replace the file or something
Just download the portable and take the file from that.. (MultiFileViewer\ColorFormatting.xml) the fixed file is 25 364 bytes..

doesn't really work. I'm using the portable version, so I deleted the \Config\Extensions subfolder, the file came back but it still looks the same.
The file is actually identical to the one located under \Extensions\MultiFileViewer ...

delete the file
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\Extensions\MultiFileViewer\ColorFormatting.xml

and it should pick up the fixed file instead that are located in install folder.

Hi,

for me the powershell formatter is kinda hiding most characters. in the attachment list you can see a short script using the Color Syntax Formatting = None setting, then with the Powershell formatter, both in default and dark color theme.

BR,

Martin

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Filter on typing

Last post by BuGent - September 15, 2026, 21:05:53

As the title says, the feature I really miss is filtering by typing. Both Total Commander and Double Commander offer the ability to simply start typing (without having to use a command line or keyboard shortcut), and only the files and folders matching the typed text are then shown.
Thank you.

It is still impossible for me to fix something I can't reproduce, All I can do is write done a note about it and keep and eye out for it when/If I see it happening.

I can find any issue with having column set with space in the name or not.

Thanks for replying, yes, it doesn't seem to make much of a difference, except I think without spaces the other tabs (background tabs) are properly sized according to the Layout. If possible try and get around to fixing this File header column issue. Also Color Rule Editor bug fix would be much appreciated also. But mainly the File Header Columns resizing sporadically.

#2 Nothing with this was "fix" so dont know why you got this before. might be because you resize panel size in startup them

#5 Can't replicate this. Never seen that happen.

File Header Column and Color Rules Editor Bugs

The File Header Column bug remains a significant issue, and the Color Rules Editor bug is still unresolved. I suspect the root cause may be related to panel sizing behavior upon startup—specifically, that panels initialize at a 50/50 split and then resize to 100/0. Could you please investigate and address this ?

I rely heavily on the File Column Headers. Even if I need to revert to the [Default] layout, I want to avoid having to manually reconfigure the File Column Header layouts for each of my dozens of tabs every time I launch MC. As you mentioned earlier, this may be due to the layout states not being properly synchronized or persisted asynchronously.

Please look into these two issues.

Additionally, I can now finally assign Ctrl+Page Up/Page Down to navigate between tabs (after removing these keys from Next Sibling Folder / Previous Sibling Folder bindings). Thanks !

Additional Feature Request and Observations

P.S. Would it be possible to add an MC command that refreshes the File Column Header layout and automatically resizes the columns accordingly? This would be useful to run after resizing the Left Panel to 100/0, allowing me to quickly restore the correct column sizes. Ideally, this command could also apply the current Column Layout to all open tabs, streamlining the workflow.

P.P.S. I suspect the issue with the File Column Header Layout was related to spaces in the layout name. For example, changing "My Advanced Tweaks" to "AdvancedTweak" appears to have mitigated the problem, as only the focused tab at startup is now abnormally squashed. However, I've noticed that neither the first tab nor the current startup tab are correctly applying the designated Column Layout, requiring me to manually adjust two tabs each time.
