Software Update: Total Commander 8.51 Beta 2

The second beta release of Total Commander version 8.51 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. Version 8.51 is a so-called bug fix release and the changelog mainly shows bug fixes.

Added:

• Multi-rename tool: The counter field [C] now supports fractional parts (only in the field itself, not in the counter section), eg [C+1/100][N] will move the first 100 files to subdir “1”, the next 100 to “2” etc. (for the reverse, use ..[N]) (32/64)

Fixed:

• Alt+F10 tree, rescan with F2: Ignore recursive links, and do not follow links at all when IgnoreLinks=8 (or sum containing 8) (32/64)
• Find files, click on “Drives”, close with “X” -> focus was lost (64)
• Ctrl+Left/Right arrow on archive: Only show as archive in other panel if ENTER would also open it as an archive (eg for .zip, but not for .docx) (32/64)
• F7 New Folder: Refresh other panel also if the path is essentially the same, but differs in upper/lowercase characters (32/64)
• These dialogs also didn’t support Unicode in wildcards/regular expressions: Colors, hints, overwrite custom fields, compare filters, and thumbnail texts by file type (32/64)
• Various dialogs didn’t support regular expressions (with ‘<' prefix) although the dialog text suggested it: Colors by file type, help texts (hints) by file type, overwrite dialog custom fields, synchronize compare filters, and thumbnail texts by file type (32/64)
• Crash when setting AllocationPreference (DWORD) to 0x100000 in the registry, problem with WM_MEASUREITEM, because wparam only contains lower 32-bit of GWL_ID (64)
• String No. 677 : Only append “>” when string starts with “<" (32/64)
• Wincmd.ini: setting historylen to 0 didn’t turn off the history, one line was still written (32/64)
• “Copy to clipboard” not working any more in “Compare by content”, binary mode (32/64)
• Delete function: Show “Seeking…” instead of “Deleting” while counting the number of files to be deleted (32/64)
• Pack files, move to archive, each selected in separate archive -> base dir not deleted when packing with option “leave out base directory” (32/64)
• No thumbnails were shown in Shift+F6 overwrite confirmation dialog (32/64)
