De ontwikkeling van Total Commander versie 11.50 nadert zijn einde en de eerste release candidate is verschenen. 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 multirenametool aanwezig, en is er ondersteuning voor een groot aantal compressieformaten. Verder kan de functionaliteit met plug-ins worden uitgebreid. De complete changelog voor de 11.50-serie is op deze pagina in te zien. De belangrijkste veranderingen die we in versie 11.50 aantreffen, zijn hieronder voor je op een rijtje gezet:
