Download Total Commander 9.00 Beta 16

A new beta release of Total Commander version 9.0 has been released, the sixteenth 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 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 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:

• cm_100percent now accepts a parameter: If >0, it sets the panel width (in percent) of the active panel. If < 0, it sets the panel width (in percent) of the left window. Example: cm_100percent 70 (32/64)

Fixed:

• 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 (32/64)
• Configuration – Options – View mode, Apply after deleting a mode -> revert view modes on tab to 0 (default) if number higher than available view modes (32/64)
• Crash in quick search when trying to enter a search text while TC was frozen (32/64)
• Windows 10 bug: Alt+Tab away from Configuration – Options – Misc after clicking on a disabled control in that dialog caused redraw errors (64)
• Change Attribute dialog: Accept date and time where there is more than one separator between each value, eg 10//22////2016 (32/64)
• Do not use semi-transparent bitmaps with alpha channel on Windows 2000 when resizing, otherwise the icons could get a black background (32/64)
• Use 16-bit colors for icons on Windows 9x/ME/2000, otherwise dimmed icons look ugly, dithered with white instead of dimmed (32/64)
• File list icons could have black background on Windows 2000, need to use old scaling method without alpha blending (32/64)
• Do not open notification about new version while the startup screen or settings dialog are open (32/64)
• Starting TC with locked bitlocker drive on current tab and BitlockerAlwaysDecrypt=1 option could lead to infinite asking for password if user didn’t enter it (note that 32-bit works differently, it switches to c:\) (64)
• Vertical button bar: Show icons centered also when button sizeSwitch away from tab with “locked but directory changes allowed”, while not in locked root -> tab color was restored to the locked root, but not the tab icon (32/64)
• Switching to server with command line: cd \\servername requiring user name+password would sometimes show the “Reading directory” dialog in front of the login/password dialog (32/64)
• View modes: Right clicking on tab which wasn’t active when starting TC sometimes didn’t check the current view mode (32/64)
• Sometimes the right file panel couldn’t get focused (happens when only the right panel window handle is recreated) (64)
