Software Update: Total Commander 9.20

Total Commander 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 extended with plug-ins. Version 9.20 has been released after a series of betas and release candidates with the following announcement:

Total Commander 9.20 final available (32bit+64bit)

Here is a list of the most important additions in Total Commander 9.20.

User interface:

• When using multiple monitors, the position and size can be stored separately for each screen (switch with Win+Shift+Cursor left/right)
• Button bar: Button size and small icon size can now be set separately for each screen scale (dpi)
• Icon from internal association takes precedence over internal packer icon (eg for *.rar)
• wincmd.ini [Configuration] IgnoreDirErrors=1 allows to switch to inaccessible or non-existent directories, shows in file list instead

File operations:

• Shift+F7 creates directory in target panel
• Button bar, command line: support shell GUIDs, eg to go to Explorer’s recent dirs, use cd ::{22877a6d-37a1-461a-91b0-dbda5aaebc99}
• Files – change attributes: Button to load attributes from file under cursor in target panel

FTP:

• Support for client certificates for ftps (ftp over ssl/tls) from Windows certificate store. Only works with schannel library on Vista or newer, not openssl
• Set the FTPS mode via prefix: ftpes:// = explicit (MODE TLS), ftpis:// = impicit (encrypted from the start)

Compare by content:

• Select all with Ctrl+A

Multi rename tool:

• New placeholder [f] for “First of each word uppercase (English in Titles)”. Certain words like “a”, “an” and “the” are converted to lowercase
