Plug-in Installation?
I'm a brand newbie, and have run a search on this board for "plug-in" and"plugin" with zero results.
When I try to install a plugin like the *back2life for TC* unerase feature, I'm told to go to configuration --> options --> operations --> FS-Plugins. But the last-named option is not on the menu.
Is this because I have not yet purchased/registered Total Cmdr?
Thanks for the help!

If the experience is painful, it's much better to learn from somebody else's.

Hi and welcome!
You don't have to register to use plugins. TCs evaluation version is fully functional.
The option you seek in the config dialog is under configuration->options->plugins, not under operation.
But the easiest way is just to open the archive (Enter, Dblclick) containing a plugin in TC. Then the installation procedure should start automatically.

Searching for "plug-in" or "plugin" gives several thousand results, you are doing something very wrong.I'm a brand newbie, and have run a search on this board for "plug-in" and"plugin" with zero results.
Make sure that you install Total Commander from this site. Starting from TC version 6.5 you only have to doubleclick a plugins archive and it will autoinstall.When I try to install a plugin like the *back2life for TC* unerase feature, I'm told to go to configuration --> options --> operations --> FS-Plugins.

Nope, the only difference is the 1, 2, 3 box.Is this because I have not yet purchased/registered Total Cmdr?

FS-Plugins is a button on the left side of the dialog. It is beside the option "Calculate space occupied by subdirectories".FS-Plugins. But the last-named option is not on the menu.
That is an older Plugin and I doubt that there is already a valid pluginst.inf for the automatic installation.But the easiest way is just to open the archive (Enter, Dblclick) containing a plugin in TC. Then the installation procedure should start automatically.
BTW this is a crippleware plugin that would not help in case you need it because it is restricted to IIRC 64 Kb-files. Try to use Restoration instead. Although it is a separate tool it's free and by the feedback of forum members realy good in restoring data.

Have you downloaded the archive from totalcmd.net? It contains a pluginst.inf...That is an older Plugin and I doubt that there is already a valid pluginst.inf for the automatic installation.
This is wrong, the only restriction is 15 seconds nag screen but I agree that it's very annoying and Restoration is way better.BTW this is a crippleware plugin that would not help in case you need it because it is restricted to IIRC 64 Kb-files.

Oh sorry, I referred apparently to an older version (indeed Back2Life for TC 2.1). But when I tested it I were so disappointed that I never looked for a newer version.icfu wrote:Have you downloaded the archive from totalcmd.net?

So I apologize for the out of date information.

Thanks again, people.
Apparently the installation of 6.54a had not replace the icon in the toolbar, so I was invoking an earlier version.
Changing the shortcuts revealed the sidebar with all the appropriate goodies.
I take it that you folks regard totalcmd.net as cool?
