FreeCommander Forum

Does FreeCommander have any functionality to help manage MoTW (Mark of The Web) metadata (e.g. a column to show this metadata, or functions to toggle a file's or group of files' MoTW on/off)?

If not, would it be possible to add the above functionality?

Thanks for your step by step report.
I can reproduce the problem.


You're welcome. I'm happy to hear you were able to reproduce the bug.

While you're working on that area of the code, in flat mode, would it be possible to add an easy method to go to the folder of the currently selected item ...

There is a bug in FreeCommander XE 2026 Build 952 64-bit in Windows 11 that causes the incredibly useful flat view to fail.

STR:
1. In FC, show a folder that has many subfolders and files in it (I use a test folder containing 1000 files and 100 subfolders, each containing 1000 files and 100 ...

Confirmed. I think this is a recent regression.

There is a nasty bug in FreeCommander that I have been spending a considerable amount of my time trying to isolate. It has been exceedingly challenging to isolate, but it has resulted in data loss multiple times, so I have persisted. This severe bug has plagued FreeCommander for years. I literally ...

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 ...

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.
