1. Copy any file to some directory
2. Try to copy the same file to the same directory (using F5)
3. When MC asks what to do (skip/rename/overwrite etc) choose Rename
4. In rename dialog press [Cancel]


Result: error appears or copy dialog stucks for a while (happened only once)

Support and Feedback / Column sizing in List view

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on February 27, 2025, 12:15:59 »

If you right click on column header and select "save current layout as default" it will try to always use that size.

Support and Feedback / Column sizing in List view

« Last post by shmuelw on February 27, 2025, 10:10:10 »

Is it possible to make it so that when I enlarge columns to certain sizes, that when I open a new tab, the columns will be the same as the last tab I was on? In List View, the Name column tends to be too small, and each time I open a new tab I have to widen it.

Another option would be to have an option in the settings to set default column widths for new tabs. Whichever is easier for you is fine.

Thanks so much for all your work on this free, excellent, file manager.

Support and Feedback / Re: MC hangs when copying files

Not seen that, Nothing with copy has changed in latest version.

If it hangs you can create a process dump from taskmanager and upload it to https://multicommander.com/support/upload
And I check from that see what MC is waiting for. Often when mc hang it wait for some call to Windows to finish. often some network operation.

Support and Feedback / Re: Feature Request - Optimize Folder Size Scan in Everything

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on February 26, 2025, 23:01:58 »

Yes showing Root can be slow..  No it does not call for each folder.

It is actually only done 1 api call.
Problem is that Everyting is not optimized for just returning folder size.  (Everything 1.5 will be better) it doing a search.
So when asking about the root of a drive. Everything is actually returning everything on that drive and MC need to filter out what it needs. But for what I understand Everything 1.5 will handle it better

Support and Feedback / Feature Request - Optimize Folder Size Scan in Everything

« Last post by hlhp on February 26, 2025, 17:16:59 »

Hello,

I’ve noticed that when scanning a large number of folders within a directory by using "Everything", the process can be quite slow. I believe this might be because the API is called separately for each folder.

Would it be possible to optimize this by making a single API call to retrieve all folders within a directory (e.g., using parent:"D:\"), and then mapping the file sizes accordingly?

Support and Feedback / MC hangs when copying files

« Last post by nietrupek on February 26, 2025, 13:15:08 »

Actually the title is inaccurate. MC hangs *before* it starts copying files, producing empty (white) modal sub-window. This window has no controls, so it cannot be neither moved nor closed. Even worse, it is on top of other windows. Main MC window cannot be closed too as its child is modal.

All I can do is to use Task manager to forcefully kill MC. It does not close cleanly (directories in panels are not as they were while closing, etc.).

This happens once per day or two when I use MC for longer time.

MC x64, version 15.0, build 3072 dated Feb 9 2025 (please, please allow us to copy data form "About" window!)
Windows 10

There were no such problems in previous versions of MC.

Support and Feedback / Re: Cursor Location is not accurate or is mismatched

After I reopened the program, the issue was gone. So what do you think might have caused the issue to occur?

So when clicking on the buttons in the toolbar nothing happens.. Any button ? or just some
I cannot reproduce that , I tested in both Win10 or Win11.

Does other mouse click action work in other places in the program? like navigating into folder. opening menu . and other ?

The issue is that, in Windows 11, when I hover my cursor over any button in an active Multicommander (x64) window, the button is still unclickable.
