Download Total Commander 9.00 release candidate 4

The fourth release candidate of Total Commander version 9.0 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. 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 candidates are 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:

• Configuration – Button bar: additional icon dlls can now have their own inc file. If the index differs from the wcmicons.inc file, the icon will be locked to that dll (doesn’t change automatically when switching to other dll) (32/64)
• Get file details (size, time, attributes) from Everything 1.4 or newer via new RPC call if available (32/64)

Fixed:

• Compare by content: “Only show differences” must be disabled before recomparing, eg when file was changed externally, or user chooses different file encoding (32/64)
• Opening files/programs with ENTER: Do not resolve links/reparse points pointing to complete paths (only to relative paths, except when faulty IE10 is installed), otherwise the file may no open (32/64)
• Default icon library for button bar was set to other than wcmicons.dll -> revert to wcmicons.dll when the other dll is no longer available (32/64)
• Update quick view window while quick search is up -> temporarily set focus in active panel to prevent hang in plugin SLister. Closing quick search on Ctrl+Q no longer needed! (32/64)
• Main menu: When additional icon dlls have their own inc file, it will be used instead of wcmicons.inc for the entire main menu (32/64)
• Move view mode -> view modes assigned to tabs below that position were reverted to default only in active panel (32/64)
• Delete view mode -> view modes assigned to tabs below that position were reverted to default only in active panel (32/64)
• Delete view mode active in current tab, click on “Default” view mode, then “Apply” -> current tab view mode was sometimes not reverted to the default (32/64)
• Ctrl+PageDown could no longer be used to enter archives with no extension (32/64)
• Everything dlls are no longer needed, replaced by internal code calling the Everything service directly. Necessary because the dlls didn’t support the new Everything 1.4 functions yet (32/64)
• Open archive below a junction/reparse point -> the path changed to the junction target, which would only be needed for opening files/folders externally (32/64)
• Updated to latest unrar.dll from www.rarlab.com, the included one was still a beta version (5.40 beta 2 -> final) (32/64)
• Configuration – Options – Color: Draw grayed text in comboboxes if they are disabled (32/64)
• Also disable (draw grayed) the labels in Configuration – Options – View modes for disabled comboboxes (32/64)
• Synchronize dirs: Click on buttons etc. sometimes still not working after double clicking on path in main window to open directory hotlist -> open hotlist only on mouse up event (64)
