Software Update: Total Commander 8.01 rc 5

The fifth and possibly final release candidate of version 8.01 of Total Commander 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 multi-rename tool, and there is support for a large number of compression formats. Furthermore, the functionality can be plugins be expanded. Since version 8.00 there are separate downloads for 32bit and 64bit environments. Version 8.01 contains almost only bug fixes.

Added:

• Multi-rename tool: New placeholder [A] inserts complete file name with extension, but without the path (32/64)

Fixed:

• New 64-bit install.exe which also works on Linux with Wine, also with faulty CAB unpack dll (64)
• TC8 not starting on Windows NT4 with AMD Sempron – problem with turning off SSE exceptions (use try..except to catch) (32)
• Pack (ZIP,TAR,Plugin) from Search – Feed to listbox to packer plugin -> include the same file only once, eg if the user selects c:\test1\ and c:\test1\test2\ with files in the latter ( 32/64)
• Internal associations: When multiple files of different types are selected, handle default “open” verb like in older versions: Each file will be opened with its own program (first matching filter for that program), and not the first matching all files as for additional verbs (32/64)
• Make it faster to use the following internal content plugin fields: tc.fullname, tc.name, tc.extension and tc.path (by not calling FindFirstFile again) (32/64)
• Tab context menu didn’t react to right mouse button click on a menu item (32/64)
• Upload to FTP server: MFMT was sending wrong timestamp when using the new (Windows 7) time conversion from/to UTC (32/64)
• Rare crash in compare by content on Backspace or Undo operation (in wstrlcopy function) (32/64)
• Directory history and hotlist buttons were shown in the wrong location when starting TC with no button bar, non-flat interface, and no tabs (32/64)
• Disable target panel while adding files to background transfer manager, so the user cannot set the focus to it, eg by changing tabs on the target side (32/64)
• Don’t show “Network (WORKGROUP)” in breadcrumb bar (32/64)
