Download Total Commander 8.50 Beta 14

A new beta release of Total Commander version 8.50 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. Since version 8.00 there are separate downloads for 32bit and 64bit environments.

New in version 8.50 is, among other things, that when copying, moving or deleting folders or files, all items that do not cause problems are handled first and that the user is only asked at the end for the items that cause problems. Furthermore, there is support for touch scenes and screens with a high resolution, and the search takes place in a separate process, so that the main screen remains available. The following changes and improvements have also been made in this version:

Added:

• Support environment variables in synchronize dirs (left and right paths) (32/64)
• Faster read of folders with many subfolders when overlay icons are disabled (check whether folder is shared only when displaying the icon) (32/64)

Fixed:

• Command line, “cd” command: Ignore all spaces before double quote, eg cd “TEMP” (32/64)
• Shift+F5 didn’t support leading spaces in the name (trailing spaces are removed by design) (32/64)
• Unreachable network share shown in one panel, user inserts USB stick -> hangs (32/64)
• Edit file with spaces in the name from RAR archive, save -> re-packing failed (32/64)
• Could not open files inside hard links containing a relative path (without or c: at the start) on Windows 7/8 (32/64)
• Crash unpacking RAR file without extension (32/64)
• Function “Verify after copy” re-added by popular demand (32/64)
• Duplicate file finder, same plugin fields: Ignore files where an empty string is returned, eg [=tc.comment] with no comment (32/64)
• 64-bit and combined installers did not contain TotalCommander.URL file (64)
• Network share shown in both panels, click on “Apply” in main configuration dialog while share unreachable -> 4 error dialogs, the second two non-modal (32/64)
• Compare by content: Ignore ini setting “CompareTool” when calling TC via parameter /S=C, to avoid infinite loops when CompareTool points again to Total Commander (32/64)
• Could no longer enter protected folders like c:PerfLogs (32/64)
• Crash in duplicate file finder when using plugin fields not present in a file (eg [=tc.Versionstring]) (32/64)
