Possible MC Improvements for Mac

If MC covers the entire screen, scrolling becomes so bad it becomes essentially stop motion, been like this since i started using mc on mac in late 2020.

That's not currently multi-threaded drawing because the Mac API can't do UI operations from a background thread.
There MAY be a way to work around that. We are looking into it.

A good example of an “in app” upgrade that is elegant and easy to use is Bombich Software “Carbon Copy Cloner” which I have been supporting for years now.
I would give also anything to have this feature built into future versions of MC.

Today, when you use Display View in MC for MC (Command-3) it does exactly what I'm asking for. It puts MC into its own Space and switches to it.
All I'm asking for is that when you maximize MC in Normal Mode, that it do the same thing: Switch to it's own a space *and* be maximized. Since MC does not have a traditional title bar (OS provided) there is no need to remove that. Unmaximizing would then bring MC back to the original Space at the original size.
Thanks for reading.

MC isn't doing anything special to put itself into a space. It still works on MacOS versions previous to the addition of spaces.
I don't see how making the standard view full screen use up the entire area without the Apple menu bar would work, you wouldn't have a menu.

Your reply confuses me. Spaces goes all the way back to 2006 with MacOS 10.5 Leopard.
MC runs Display View using this feature. Are you saying this is accidental or something? Display View uses a Space for MC.
As for menu support, the way this works with other Mac programs is, when in full screen, the menus disappear. Moving the mouse to the top edge of the screen causes the menu bar to appear. Moving away causes the menus to disappear again.

Ok that's fine. I didn't see references prior to 10.15.
Anyway no we don't do anything special.
Display View is just another window but without a menu bar.
