Download Total Commander 9.00 release candidate 1

After seventeen beta releases, the first release candidate of Total Commander version 9.0 has now 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 candidate is now stable enough for daily use, but there are still a few small wrinkles that need to be ironed out. The changelog for this release looks like this:

Added:

• Lister: Store position separately for separate quick view (Ctrl+Shift+Q): wincmd.ini [Lister] QuickX,QuickY,QuickDx,QuickDy,QuickMaximized (32/64)
• Bitlocker dialog: Checkbox to not show that message again. If the user then clicks Yes, the bitlocker password dialog will always be shown, otherwise never (fails with an error) (32/64)

Fixed:

• Show list of local drives when connecting via RDP (remote desktop) – use WTSRegisterSessionNotification to be notified when remote desktop connection starts/ends (32/64)
• Resizing main window could cause half-drawn icons in vertical button bar with icon size=button size (32/64)
• Abort running commands from view modes when holding down ESC key (32/64)
• Crash showing certain dialogs when changing locale while TC is running, and ANSI sort order is different (eg Czech: CH sorted after H -> resource order changes) (64)
• Folders in search results were not sorted by the natural sorting method eg ‘CH’ after ‘H’ in Czech (32/64)
• Multi-rename tool: New option to auto-rename to “name (2).ext” etc. didn’t work if one of the renamed names was the same as an existing file name not changed by the rename options (eg test_a_. txt test_b_.txt, replace _a_ by _b_) (32/64)
• Auto view mode switch set for a dir with subdirs (eg c:dir*), go to c:dir, locked but directory changes allowed, go to subdir, switch to different tab -> view mode was lost (32 /64)
• Synchronize dirs: Comparing 2 RAR archives by content was no longer working correctly (32/64)
• Bitlocker dialog and registration screen could still interfere in full version (64)
• cm_CopyFileDetailsToClip copied extra #1 character when using custom columns with [=tc.comment] column, and the comment file was Unicode (32/64)
• Allow to view, rename and delete files ending with a dot, eg “test.txt .”. These names are not allowed in Windows functions, but can still be created on NTFS with ? prefix (32/64)
• Display trailing dot(s) in file list for file names ending with a dot (which isn’t allowed in Windows functions , but can still be created on NTFS with ? prefix) (32/64)
