Done.
Multi Commander is listed in the database. Please, vote here.

@Ruby, joby_toss and tproli: thanks for testing!

Excellent. Thanks for adding.

Make a wish for the next major release @ http://forum.multicommander.com/forum/i ... 503.0.html

I used Swiss File Knife (SFK) to remove ~127 language files
If anyone is interested, here's the command: * = wildcard
! = exclude

Run the console/command from your Multi Commander directory
Change [..\MultiCmd] to your MC folder name and [!_lang_en.xml] to your language

SFK requires you define a folder; hence the reverse traversal to the parent folder

This removes the unused language files from the 'Configurations' directory and 'Extensions' sub-directories

~Ruby

Edit: The above command is non-destructive (i.e. Simulation); you must append -yes for actual deletion

Thanks for the tip, Ruby

Yes! Thanks Ruby for such a non-assuming little gem of computer wizardry... I learn best by example.

@I am Bass, @Midas

Your both welcome,

I forgot to mention, if you go to the 'Config' folder and open 'MultiCommander_def.xml' and traverse the first node, you'll see reference to the language files; which you can remove all but the one your using.

Now they won't be visible in the settings/language dropdown; and possibly elsewhere, i.e., on fresh install 'Choose language', etc..

Release v2.5.1 (Build 1114) ( 29-Jun-2012 )

FIXED - File Type Setup window was setting the wrong tag, when ${mcpath} was selected.

From Multi Commander Change Log:

CHANGE- Changed AppIcon to match Website logo (Provided by Oliver)

I don't get why experienced developers would copycat M$ abominable flat style. The new icon looks terribly ugly and because of it I will never update to version 6.

I won't call myself experienced in design/dev but I like flat style, even it origins from M$ or not. But it's likely that I feel so because I'm just sick and tired of the shiny/gradient/reflective/etc designs I see everywhere and I prefer clean and simple design solutions instead.

It comes up every few months that someone wants to manage or zap picture metadata so I thought I'd point out that there's a file manager option with Multicommander for handling this. This includes a Strip, Export, and Adjust EXIF data option under the Tools - Picture menu.

Tested actual version 13.5.2981 on Win10 - not stealth.
Creates "MultiCommander"-key in HKCU\Software. Could be triggered by some settings. Deleting apparently doesn't affect functions/settings, but the key reappears on every start.

Confirmed on win11, I will change the database. Thanks.
