Download Total Commander 9.00 final

After six release candidates and seventeen betas, the final release of Total Commander version 9.0 has finally 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, which is still a free update for existing users after all years, we find 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 candidate is stable enough for everyday use, but still has some minor creases to iron out. Furthermore, this version also contains an update check and newer dlls for extracting archives. The most important improvements are listed for you below.
