muCommander Portable Changelog

What's new in muCommander Portable 1.4.0

May 2, 2024
  • New features:
  • Added Google Cloud Storage as a file protocol that enables browsing and managing files in GCS buckets.
  • Added optional keyboard shortcut visual hints for actions invoked by clicks rather than keystroke.
  • Added OneDrive as a file protocol that enables browsing, uploading and downloading capabilities.
  • Improvements:
  • Faster start-up of muCommander (2-3 times faster)
  • The 'Space' key can be used to filter filenames with spaces in quick search. Files can be selected during an ongoing quick search using CTRL+Space (that was replaced with CTRL+SHIFT+Space for 'Popup menu' action).
  • Changed 'Store login and password' to 'Store credentials' to reflect that additional properties, like ssh-key, are also stored.
  • Set Shift+F4 as the default alternative keyboard shortcut for "Make file" action.
  • Command line (of Terminal) it can be now visible in folder view
  • Authenticate with the specified ssh-key when connecting to a different path on a server via SFTP from the location bar.
  • The rpm and dmg packages are now signed.
  • Added dmg package for aarch64.
  • Bug fixes:
  • Fixed copying files to Finder.
  • Fixed drag-and-drop of action buttons in the 'Customize command bar' dialog.
  • Fixed Toolbar and Command bar actions not being updated when their shortcuts changed in Preferences.
  • Fixed incorrect block selection (using shift + click) on native L&Fs
  • Known issues:
  • Some translations may not be up-to-date.
  • SMB support may not work properly on non-multi-language JRE.
  • 'Copy files to clipboard' not working with some applications (files are not pasted).
  • Authentication issues when using several sets of credentials (login/password) for the same server.
  • Untrusted HTTPS connections are allowed without a warning.
  • Windows Vista/7: "java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: recv failed" error can appear when trying to access FTP sites. This seems to be a Windows firewall problem, with a possible workaround
  • Need to enable NTLM authentication manually in order to authenticate to Samba >= 4.5. This is done by adding 'ntlm auth = yes' to smb.conf.
  • MacOS: issues with browsing Documents/Desktop/Downloads may be solved by resetting Security and Privacy settings.
  • MacOS: muCommander may not start on older versions of macOS due to incompatibility of the bundled JRE.
  • MacOS: "Do you want the application "muCommander.app" to accept incoming network connections?" dialog keeps popping up on startup even if the dialog has been previously accepted (ticket #339), when 'Bonjour' support is enabled.
  • MacOS: some keyboard shortcuts may conflict with global system shortcuts.
  • Installing the deb package on Debian < 12 fails with: "error: archive ... uses unknown compression for member 'control.tar.zst', giving up".
