Let me know any issue you have with the SFTP/SCP extension.
Normal UserName/Password login should work

  ADDED - MC will set enovirment variables for the MC EXE and Path. So all programs MC start will see this enviroments variables.

Thanks for adding this!
However, what are then names of this environments?

I checked MultiCommander.exe process in Process Explorer and I see those:

COMMANDER_EXE
COMMANDER_PATH
(The same as Total Commander)

and

MULTICOMMANDER_EXE
MULTICOMMANDER_PATH

I will use those MULTICOMMANDER_*
Question. Why you also added variables with the same name as Total Commander does?

Yes Added the TC one for compbability reason for now. they might be removed.

[Pawel]

Yeah, right, compatibility.

EDIT: I already changed my code. It is working like as charm.
Thank you for adding those Environment Variables to MC. Waiting for Final Release

Will you consider adding MC Handle as another Environment Variable?

I got it using the following code (I also check the path of the process with this handle).
Handle := FindWindow('MultiCommander MainWnd', nil);
Would be much easier if I could get it from MC

Thanks for the update Mathias.

I noticed after the update today b3064, that the filesize output is missing from the bottom left of the panel.  (Where I have put a yellow box on the image)
Tried restart, no luck. Has a setting been lost or is it broken?
Thanks

@Mathias (Author)

Is it possible to set custom color of Multi Commander Window in Dark Mode?
It is #383838 (RGB 56/56/56) now...
Or Titlebar background.

I preffer a bit darker, like for example ->#191919 (RGB 25/25/25)

-Pawel

[Mathias (Author)]

that is currently not customizable.
Been thinking to maybe add so it can be. problem is that some of the dark UI component are styled by Windows. So there is not full control of the colors in all places.
And if I enable so colors can be customizable people are going to complain why they can't change color at place X.

This is the Selection Status Area in MC explorer panel settings, yes? Still cannot get it to show anything , Win11 Explorer does show these details OK in Status Bar.
I wondered if enable/disable freespace display would do anything but it didn't.
I also noticed the shifting of the panel nav icons left (attached), I haven't updated my gfx drivers btw.
I guess a clean re-install is next...
