FreeCommander XE 2026 Build 941 32-bit Portable
Windows 11 64-bit 25H2

Every time I double click on an .exe file I get a message that says that it cannot run the Total Observer plugin. However I verified the plugin exists here:

...Free Commander\Settings\TotalObserver\TotalObserver.wcx
...Free ...

It has been a couple of weeks after I installed the new version as you recommended. I have not had a repeat of the problem.

Thank you!

I frequently get a message that says "An error occurred in the application" when Free Commander opens and I can't use it. I clicked on "Show Bug Report" and pasted the content below:

Thank you!

I would like to be able to display a version of "Date Modified" that just has the date without the time. The time just takes up space in the column so I end up placing it in the far right column and cutting the display off at the end of the year. I would prefer to be able see the date only in m/d/yy ...

I determined the "Display" option in Windows 10 "Ease of Access" does change the size of the font in the FC menu. it appears that FC needs to be closed when you make changes. Unfortunately, it makes all text bigger on your PC. You have to live with text that is too big in your browser and everywhere ...

...Or at least explain what Windows option to change to increase it.

You may need to unzip it, delete the file you want and then rezip it.

I decided I needed a color scheme to match the blue green colors of my aquatic life desktop theme. The closest thing that came close to is Dreamer's "Blue_NC_Old_Style" scheme. So I started with it and changed it to the point where it didn't resemble Dreamer's scheme anymore. I provided a large ...

You can change the size of about every font except for the menu font. That is why I moved this to the "Feature Requests" section of the forum.

I had to click on "Define" instead of "Custom style" but what you said worked otherwise.

That finishes a new color scheme I created. I may post it if I don't have to post pictures and files on some other site.

Thanks,

I am using the button version of the Drive Bar. How do I change the background color of the active drive button?

Yes that is how I was doing it.

I am using the portable version of FC. I have found that programs will run if I right click on the EXE file and select "Run as Administrator". I have recently added some upgrades to Windows 10 and it seems it changed my permissions when I did this. I am not sure how ...

There isn't much more detail than what I provided. I have tried double clicking on many EXE files in different folders and get "Function is not supported" in a window that opens from FC. Everywhere I try, I get the same result with numerous different portable programs no matter what folder I use. I ...

We need an enhancement so that when you double click on an EXE file it launches the application instead of producing an error message.
