Download Total Commander 9.00 Release Candidate 5

The fifth 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 everyday use, but there are still some minor creases that need to be ironed out. The changelog for this release looks like this:

• Further reduced CPU usage of main thread, caused by a timer which shouldn’t always be running (32/64)
