Download Total Commander 9.00 release candidate 3

The third release candidate of Total Commander version 9.0 has been released. This program can be used as a replacement for Windows Explorer. Splitting the image in half makes it easy to copy files, but the program can do much more. There are various ways to modify files, there is a built-in ftp client and a multirename tool, and there is support for a large number of compression formats. Furthermore, the functionality with plugins be expanded. The program is small and does not need to be installed to use it, so it is easy to use it anywhere.

In version 9 we find, among other things, a few cosmetic changes. For example, system icons are now used instead of the internal ones and a new menu bar has been placed between the two file screens. In addition, a large number of small improvements have been made. According to Christian Ghisler, the release candidates are stable enough for daily use, but there are still a few small wrinkles that need to be ironed out. The changelog for this release looks like this:

Added:

• Main icon: Made text “64” on the 16×16 pixel icon larger, better readable (64)

Fixed:

• Close quick search dialog when user presses Ctrl+Q, otherwise some plugins like SLister can hang Total Commander (32/64)
• Use old file list icons from TC8.x when wincmd.ini contains IconLib=filename.dll even if the linked name is invalid, otherwise the user cannot switch between old and new icons via settings (32/64)
• Synchronize dirs: Click on buttons etc. not working after double clicking on path in main window to open directory hotlist (64)
• Hide “Everything” search option on Windows NT4/9x/ME because Everything.exe doesn’t work on these Windows versions (32)
• Recompiled 32-bit 7zip dll with Visual C++ 6.0 to make it work also on Windows 9x/ME (32)
• Unpack 7zip files: new 7zip unpacker dll could cause TC to hang in overwrite dialog if the callback was called from a background thread. Also updated 7zip dlls to 16.4.0.0 (32/64)
• Crash in synchronize dirs after edit, re-compare (with save), edit, then “recompare from here” (32/64)
• Compare by content: Extra line combobox must be disabled initially, because “show only differences” is unchecked (32/64)
• “LastSearchOptions” was still saved to wincmd.ini when TC was closed, it should only be saved when the search dialog is closed (64)
• Create checksums: Sort files differently (by directory, then by name) when creating checksums in branch view (32/64)
• Create checksums: Overwrite dialog was shown by mistake when getting checksums of several files in same folder with option “separate checksum files for each directory” (32/64)
• cm_SrcViewModeList didn’t accept view mode names as parameter, only view mode numbers (32/64)
• Show context menu item to show vertical button bar also when right clicking on splitter panel between 2 file panels above each other (32/64)
• Splitter panel between the two panels: Make double click easier by not moving it on the first mouse down (32/64)
• Auto update check function: Added possibility to disable auto update checks, or set longer interval via auto-update server response (32/64)
• Button bar: Hovered button was 1 pixel too low when not using themed buttons (32/64)
