Software-update: Total Commander 7.56a

Christian Ghisler heeft een kleine update uitgebracht voor de begin deze maand verschenen versie 7.56 van Total Commander. 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 er een ingebouwde ftp-client en een multi-renametool aanwezig, en is er ondersteuning voor een groot aantal compressieformaten. Verder kan de functionaliteit met plug-ins worden uitgebreid.

Nieuw in versie 7.56 is onder andere de mogelijkheid om programma's die als snelkoppelingen aan de toolbar zijn toegevoegd te kunnen starten met andere privileges door er met de rechtermuisknop op te klikken. Verder wordt de lijst met gevonden bestanden nu bewaard en is deze meteen zichtbaar wanneer je terugkeert naar het zoek bestanden-dialoogvenster. In versie 7.56a zijn voornamelijk bugfixes doorgevoerd.

Release Total Commander 7.56a final

Fixed:

• Included new tcmdx64.exe with fix from 28.09.10 (shift in context menu)
• Memory leak when closing Search dialog with [X] button (search results not preserved)

Release Total Commander 7.56a release candidate 1

Added:

• wincmd.ini [Configuration] CompareUtf8Detect=1: Determines how compare by content detects UTF-8 files: 0=only by byte order marker (BOM), 1=by content, at least one multi-byte char present, 2=detected as UTF-8 if no invalid (non-UTF-8) byte sequences present
• wincmd.ini [Configuration] DllLoad=0 Set DLL load method for plugins and Explorer extensions: -1: Never from current dir (most secure), 0: Only in context menu, 1: always also from current dir (as TC7.55a and older)

Fixed:

• Compare by content: Do not show files as UTF-8 if they contain the UTF-8 HTML header but also invalid UTF-8 characters (e.g. plain text accents)
• Synchronize dirs: When unpacking, do not try to show thumbnails in overwrite dialog (could hang with large archives)
• Synchronize dirs: Disable "Synchronize" button after user clicks on it, to avoid that he clicks on it twice
• TC was not closing on XP when "File open" dialog was open in "Compare by content"
• Windows 7: When using a large font size (e.g. 150dpi), the default cursor (dotted line) wasn't erased when going to next line in file lists (because it was 2 pixels wide)
• System information: Windows Server 2008 R2 was not detected (was shown as Windows 7)

Release Total Commander 7.56a beta 1

Fixed:

• Some files like wcmzip32.dll couldn't be found when TC was started by some 3rd party program launchers like Informer (Yahoo widget), which used forward slashes in the name (c:/totalcmd/totalcmd.exe)
• Ctrl+Z edit comment: Handle case where other programs stored an empty comment in descript.ion (file name followed by a single space)
• Right click context menu: "Send to"-"Mail Recipient" not working with Outlook 2003 (due to insecure dll loading in Outlook)
• Multi-rename tool, button [N#-#] Part: Name was no longer selected initially
• Watch directory changes: Do not wait until the background thread stopped watching when changing dirs, just disable handling the results -> faster dir changes (especially when at 100% CPU)
• Windows Server 2008 R2: F4 not working if path to notepad.exe wasn't set, because notepad isn't in Windows directory as expected -> look also in system32
• Button bar: Beginning a command with a '*' followed by a name in double quotes didn't work to run the program with admin rights
• FTP download from list didn't take last line if it wasn't ending with a line break
