Software-update: Total Commander for Android & BlackBerry 2.04

Er zullen weinig tweakers zijn die het bestandsbeheerprogramma Total Commander niet kennen. Dat er ook een versie is die op Android en BlackBerry gebruikt kan worden, is waarschijnlijk minder bekend. Na vijf bètareleases is nu de final release van versie 2.04 verschenen. In deze versie treffen we geen grote veranderingen aan, maar zijn er wel over de gehele linie diverse verbeteringen aangebracht. De complete changelog voor deze uitgave kan hieronder worden gevonden.

What's new?

• Internal commands Page Up and Page Down (131 and 132, enter manually) for button bar, mainly for e-ink readers (hard jumps, no scrolling)
• bugfixes

Already in beta 5:

• New languages: Serbian (latin characters) and Indonesian (from crowdin.net)
• Always ignore vold.fstab on Android 4.3 or newer even if it's accessible, because the path differs from the mounts file
• MediaPlayer: Delete files via context menu -> the files below could get a checkmark
• MediaPlayer: Moving the progress bar while paused resumed playing, but didn't update the notification area
• MediaPlayer: Lock screen player controls didn't appear any more after closing and re-opening the player
• MediaPlayer: Turn off custom notification with play/next buttons on some devices where it crashes
• LAN plugin: Increased reply timeout to 10 seconds for servers where the HDD was in sleep mode
• Support Sony Xperia external SD-Cards (unusual mount point /storage/removable/sdcard1)

Already in beta 4:

• Some music streams were stuttering every few seconds
• Changed open filters of TC Media Player (data sections)
• Removed "Save as" dialog in mail programs, "Downloads" app etc. because it was causing problems on some devices ("always open" greyed out)

Already in beta 3:

• Stream more file types like .ts to external players (e.g. VLC)
• GoogleDrive plugin: Preserve timestamps when uploading files
• GoogleDrive plugin: problems with uploading multiple files >1MB

Already in beta 2:

• New internal command Refresh (MTP->PC) to refresh media database to view files from PC
• Detect external SD-Cards+USB drives also on Android 4.3 (where vold.fstab file no longer exists)
• It seems that the permission ACCESS_SUPERUSER must be written in all uppercase letters

What's new in beta 1?

• Testing RAR archive by giving /dev/null as target failed
• Streaming media from plugins not working after closing player with "X" button
• Plugin interface: Support sending the file list in multiple chunks (Android transfer buffer is limited to 1 MByte)
• Get state of RW button (Read/Write permission for current partition) in background thread
• The button to add new buttons to the bar didn't yet have the new minimum width+height of 48dp
• Could not abort unpacking a RAR archive within a large file inside (it was handled via exceptions which are not available on older Android versions)
• Do not react to Back button in the file operation progress dialog (so users don't accidentally abort a transfer)
• List of installed apps: Show paid apps under /mnt/asec with '$' sign in list, copy apk instead of zip if rooted
• TC Media Player: Tap on video while controls are shown now pauses/continues the video
• TC Media Player: Swipe up or down on the left side of the video now adjusts the brightness
• Android 4.3: Cannot write directly to remounted partition in editor -> save to TEMP, then move file to right location
• Re-mount not working correctly on Android 4.3: It only remounts the partition for the "su" process, not for the Java part -> get /proc/mounts via su too
• Set minimum button size to 48dp, otherwise they are too small on Galaxy S4
• Main menu not completely translated when opened via user button (command id 500)
• User-defined buttons: Text for screen readers wrong
• Could not stream via HTTPS, e.g. when playing from official Dropbox app
• Internal command PNG icons damaged by Android SDK "optimizer" -> not working on Android 1.x
