Download Total Commander 7.56a

Christian Ghisler has released a minor update for the 7.56 version of Total Commander, which was released earlier this month. 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 multi-rename tool, and there is support for a large number of compression formats. Furthermore, the functionality can be plugins be expanded.

New in version 7.56 is, among other things, the ability to start programs added as shortcuts to the toolbar with different privileges by right-clicking on them. Furthermore, the list of found files is now saved and is immediately visible when you return to the search files dialog. In version 7.56a mainly bug fixes have been implemented.

Release Total Commander 7.56a final

Fixed:

• Included new tcmdx64.exe with fix from 28.09.10 (shift in context menu)
• Memory leak when closing Search dialog with [X] button (search results not preserved)

Release Total Commander 7.56a release candidate 1

Added:

• wincmd.ini [Configuration] CompareUtf8Detect=1: Determines how compare by content detects UTF-8 files: 0=only by byte order marker (BOM), 1=by content, at least one multi-byte char present, 2=detected as UTF-8 if no invalid (non-UTF-8) byte sequences present
• wincmd.ini [Configuration] DllLoad=0 Set DLL load method for plugins and Explorer extensions: -1: Never from current dir (most secure), 0: Only in context menu, 1: always also from current dir (as TC7.55a and older)

Fixed:

• Compare by content: Do not show files as UTF-8 if they contain the UTF-8 HTML header but also invalid UTF-8 characters (eg plain text accents)
• Synchronize dirs: When unpacking, do not try to show thumbnails in overwrite dialog (could hang with large archives)
• Synchronize dirs: Disable “Synchronize” button after user clicks on it, to avoid that he clicks on it twice
• TC was not closing on XP when “File open” dialog was open in “Compare by content”
• Windows 7: When using a large font size (eg 150dpi), the default cursor (dotted line) wasn’t erased when going to next line in file lists (because it was 2 pixels wide)
• System information: Windows Server 2008 R2 was not detected (was shown as Windows 7)

Release Total Commander 7.56a beta 1

Fixed:

• Some files like wcmzip32.dll couldn’t be found when TC was started by some 3rd party program launchers like Informer (Yahoo widget), which used forward slashes in the name (c:/totalcmd/totalcmd.exe)
• Ctrl+Z edit comment: Handle case where other programs stored an empty comment in descript.ion (file name followed by a single space)
• Right click context menu: “Send to”-“Mail Recipient” not working with Outlook 2003 (due to insecure dll loading in Outlook)
• Multi-rename tool, button [N#-#] Part: Name was no longer selected initially
• Watch directory changes: Do not wait until the background thread stopped watching when changing dirs, just disable handling the results -> faster dir changes (especially when at 100% CPU)
• Windows Server 2008 R2: F4 not working if path to notepad.exe wasn’t set, because notepad isn’t in Windows directory as expected -> look also in system32
• Button bar: Beginning a command with a ‘*’ followed by a name in double quotes didn’t work to run the program with admin rights
• FTP download from list didn’t take last line if it wasn’t ending with a line break
