Yes, I noticed that too. They are multiplying like bunnies! :shock: :P

I wonder if they are largely bots gathering data to train LLMs.

I read an article a couple years ago that said something like 80-90% of all internet traffic is bots.

Are bots taking over the internet?

Yes, if things go on like this, real people won't get access.

Why is that? Using up all the bandwidth?

I suppose a solution could be to require a login. Not ideal, but better than some of the alternatives.

I noticed that the main FreeCommander English forums page currently indicates:
In total there are 6557 users online :: 3 registered, 0 hidden and 6554 guests (based on users active over the past 5 minutes)
Most users ever online was 66426

Are nearly all of those non-registered users bots?

The TreeItemHeight Option exists under Settings->View->Tree: Color/Font/Icons: Item height.
Currently it is not possible to set the value to 12 - changed for the next release.

A value modified directly in freecommander.ini may be overwritten if the dialog for saving settings is used.


Thanks ...

It's not a big deal, but in the donor download page, the hashes are listed in the reverse order of the downloads (e.g. portable vs. installer). This can cause the user to mistakenly copy the incorrect hash to check the download's integrity.

In v949, the inactive pane colour is no longer applied when FC launches. This is especially noticeable in the tree pane.

It does work, however, if you select one pane, and then select the other. It's only broken when FC starts.

I, too, noticed that the tree line spacing is much greater in v949, and this regression causes significantly fewer folders to fit in the tree pane. Hopefully this can be fixed.

v949 has a new setting "File/folder operations" -> "Open multiple files" -> "File extensions for individual opening per file".

By the name of it, I'm guessing it's supposed to open a separate instance of the associated application for the specified file extensions. Is that guess correct, or does it ...

FreeCommander XE 2026 Build 948 64-bit

Before testing this issue, first enable dark theme.

In the Tab Properties dialog box, when clicking on the "A" icon adjacent to the "Text" item, a popup appears. In that popup, when hovering over the "Default" area or the "More colours..." / "More colors ...

Changing individual tab text colors in active pane work well.
Changing individual tab text colors in inactive pane doesn't work. The UI allows you to do this, but the changes do not take effect.

FC 946 Donor on Win11

I noticed FC is writing to this file every time it is launched, even if nothing in is being modified:

FreeCommander.cloud.ini

Also, I noticed FreeCommander.cloud.ini contains strings that should likely be in the i18n files instead of that ini file.

I further noticed FC is ...

I performed some additional investigation into this issue, and I'm thinking it could possibly be a CopyQ issue. As such, I'm interested in hearing if anyone can reproduce this issue with or without CopyQ, and with or without other clipboard managers.

As I can't reliably reproduce this issue, this isn't going to be the best bug report, but I hope it is more useful than not reporting the issue at all.

Often, when I completely close FreeCommander (FreeCommander XE 2026 Build 945 64-bit non public on Windows 11), it will copy content to the ...

Is there any reason to use fcZip when fc7Zip is available?
fc7Zip is only in the 64 bit version


Thanks. For the 64-bit version, is there any reason for the user to prefer either fcZip or fc7Zip?

In which part of the UI do you press Ctrl+PgDn?
Select any file you suppose it is archive file ...

fc7Zip can handle multiple formats. The most common formats for extraction are: 7z, ZIP, RAR, GZIP, BZIP2, TAR and ISO ...
