Download Total Commander 9.00 Beta 17

A new beta release of Total Commander version 9.0 has been released, the seventeenth already. 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. The changelog for this release looks like this:

Added:

• Updated tc7z.dll and tc7z64.dll with latest dlls from 7z1603-extra.7z (7zxa.dll and x647zxa.dll ) (32/64)

Fixed:

• When entering large directories, wait with handling messages for up to 1.9 seconds – still safe to avoid freezing, but keeps keyboard input made by user (32/64)
• Don’t watch for changes in “Computer” virtual folder when ShowExtraDrives doesn’t have value 4 added (show drives with no drive letters like phones) (32/64)
• Remote desktop connection: Show shared drives when connecting, hide them when disconnecting (32/64)
• Remote desktop connection: Local drives shared via “Local resources” options were not visible in TC (WNetOpenEnum failed) (32/64)
• Don’t try to show the bitlocker unlock dialog while the registration screen is still up (switch to local drive instead, as TC 8.x) (32/64)
• Button F3, F4 etc. in bottom bar could wrap to two lines when button too narrow (64)
• Quick search filter was lost after using file context menu, causing a full refresh by mistake (32/64)
• Comments: Problems copying comment from UTF-8-encoded comment file to OEM-encoded comment file on systems with codepage other than 1252 (32/64)
• Comments: Problems copying comment from OEM-encoded comment file to UTF-8-encoded comment file on systems with codepage other than 1252 (comment not visible, line breaks lost) (32/64)
• Comments: Default type set to one of the Unicode types, enter non-Unicode comment via Ctrl+Z -> last character was cut (32/64)
• Move file (F6) which is currently opened and locked by a program will copy the file, but deleting the original will fail -> show different error dialog (32/64)
• Hold down space on a file, then press Tab while space is still down -> the footer could be wrong (32/64)
• Missing identifiers for new commands in WCMICONS.INC (32/64)
• For consistency with the 32-bit version, don’t drive drive icons from icon lib dimmed when hovering over them (64)
• Search dialog: Save “Search for” combobox when starting a search and the string has changed, not only when closing the dialog (32/64)
• Configuration – Options – View mode, Apply after deleting a mode -> revert view modes on tab to 0 (default) if a mode was deleted or inserted before that mode (64)
• Configuration – Options – View mode, Apply after deleting a mode -> revert view modes on tab to 0 (default) if number higher than available view modes (64)
• Folder tabs: Default view mode, toggle “Priority”, click “Apply” -> icons for default view mode tabs were only changed when switching to these tabs (32/64)
• Folder tabs: When disabling folder tab icons, an empty placeholder was shown on tabs where a user mode icon with priority option was defined (32/64)
• Abort counting space in file system plugin subdirs (Alt+Shift+Enter or Spacebar) when disconnecting or closing the program (32/64)
• Windows 10 bug: Alt+Tab away from Configuration – Options – Misc after clicking on a disabled control in that dialog still caused redraw errors -> we need to focus a different control (list of pages) (64)
• FTPS: Suggest to use OpenSSL dlls in the log window when connection fails because the operating system doesn’t support session re-use (eg Linux with Wine) (32/64)
• FTP connection dialog: Automatically check passive mode option when checking SSL/TLS, it doesn’t work with active mode (32/64)
