Download Total Commander 8.0 release candidate 2

The second release candidate of version 8.00 of the file manager Total Commander has been released. The biggest change in version 8.00 is that a separate 64bit version is now also available. However, the average user will not notice much. Christian Ghisler, the developer of Total Commander, said: “The 64-bit bit version is mainly for ignorant people who think that 64-bit is better, and for some very specific usage cases (eg only 64-bit extension available, or 64-bit Windows PE with no 32-bit support). New in this release is that there is now also a combined 32bit and 64bit installation, especially for people who want to use the 64bit version, but sometimes also need the 32bit plugins.

What’s new?

• There are no new features in the program itself, but we now offer a combined 64-bit+32-bit installer for 64-bit Windows. It’s useful for people who want to work with the 64-bit version, but need some 32-bit plugins from time to time.

Total Commander 8.0 is the first version available in both 32-bit and 64-bit. Currently there aren’t many 64-bit plugins yet – I will publish them when they become available. Therefore you should keep the 32-bit version for the moment if you use plugins regularly.

A list of additions and corrections, also for previous versions, can be found in the history file.

As usual, the update is free for all registered users.
