Software Update: Total Commander 10.52 RC3

Version 10.52 of Total Commander is in development and the third release candidate has now been released. This program can be used as a replacement for Windows Explorer. Because the image is split in two, it is easy to copy files, but the program can do much more. For example, there are various ways to modify files, a built-in FTP client and a multi-rename tool are available, and there is support for a large number of compression formats. Furthermore, the functionality can be used with plugins be expanded. Version 10.52 is a so-called bug fix release that mainly fixes minor problems, but also adds some new features.

Change log for version 10.52 RC3:Added:

• CM_EXIT: Add 16 to parameter to restart with full administrator rights (elevated)

Fixed:

• Separate tree: Make sure the virtual folder “My Computer” is expanded when trying to show one of its included virtual folders in the tree
• Windows 10/11: Manually store these virtual folders in ini as GUID value: Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos
• Do not open documents like .docx like a ZIP file when they have an “open with” list in the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.docx\OpenWithList, value MRUlist)
• cm_SyncChangeDir, clicking on “\” or using cm_GoToRoot still showed wrong folder in single separate tree in some cases
• View modes with custom columns view: Sort orders by size or date/time set via view mode could not be changed via Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click
• Search for Cyrillic text via regular expressions failed with case-insensitive search due to wrong conversion function in regular expression library
• Separate tree: After a double click on a virtual folder which expanded that folder, the menu could no longer be reached via Alt+Letter due to a call to SetCapture
• Keep sort order of list loaded via LOADLIST when switching to a view mode with sort order set to “unchanged”
