Software-update: Total Commander 9.00 bèta 3

De derde bètarelease van Total Commander versie 9.0 is uitgekomen. Dit programma kan als vervanging voor Windows Verkenner worden gebruikt. Doordat het beeld in tweeën is gesplitst, is het eenvoudig om bestanden te kopiëren, maar het programma kan veel meer. Zo zijn er diverse manieren om bestanden aan te passen, zijn een ingebouwde ftp-client en een multirename-tool aanwezig, en is er ondersteuning voor een groot aantal compressieformaten. Verder kan de functionaliteit met plug-ins worden uitgebreid.

In versie 9 treffen we onder meer een paar cosmetische wijzigingen aan. Zo worden er nu systeemiconen gebruikt in plaats van de interne en is er een nieuwe menubalk tussen de twee bestandsschermen geplaatst. Verder zijn er een groot aantal kleine verbeteringen aangebracht. Deze derde bètarelease bevat voornamelijk bugfixes, hieronder zijn de belangrijkste verbeteringen die in versie 9 zijn aangebracht voor je op een rijtje gezet.
