Download Total Commander 9.00a

The final release of Total Commander version 9.00a 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 can be 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, which after all years is still a free update for existing users, we find a few cosmetic changes, among other things. 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 candidate is stable enough for everyday use, but still has some minor creases to iron out. Furthermore, this version also contains an update check and newer dlls for extracting archives. Version 9.00a should fix some minor bugs that came to light after the release of version 9.00. Since the third release candidate, the following issues have been resolved:

Fixed:

• Mapped USB drives or network drives added after starting TC would show up with internal icon/as disconnected when using Explorer icons and no drive buttonbar (32/64)
• Network Neighborhood: Entries which appeared with a delay were sometimes shown as files, not folders (32/64)
• Standalone install64.exe ignored UserName= line in install.inf when auto-installing. Furthermore, the line userforicons= was unused (64)
• Clear pending numeric coprocessor exceptions also before dispatching Windows messages to reduce problems with C/C++ plugins and extensions (32)
• Unpack files with forbidden characters ?*|<> also from 7zip and rar archives, partial support for packer plugins too (32/64)
• Disabled the fix “Support invalid ZIP archives with UTF-8-encoded names but missing UTF-8 flag (created by Dropbox)” on systems with double byte charsets like Chinese, because some valid Chinese double byte characters would be detected as UTF-8 (32/64)
• Alt+F5 re-pack files from within an archive, no target path given (eg rar:newfile.rar) -> archive was created in TEMP dir, need to insert current directory (32/64)
• Lister (F3): Search for regular expressions in UTF-8 and UTF-16 modes didn’t handle backslashes correctly, had to enter \\\ instead of \\ to find a single backslash (32/64)
• Auto switch mode: sort order was lost when restarting TC while in an archive, and view mode of parent directory had sort order set to “unchanged” (32/64)
• Reduced flickering when pressing ESC while not in command line (32/64)
• Quick filter: Filter icon was drawn 1 pixel too high, separator line was overdrawn (32/64)
• Brief view, select all, select nothing, select all -> total number of files was no longer shown in footer (32/64)
• In rare cases, TC may start with empy file panels. To fix, add to wincmd.ini [Configuration] FixEmptyPanel=1 (32/64)
