Stuck at Total Commander 7.56 how to update?

Post by *omdawe »

Im a registered user and been using since Norton Commander and now as i got older Im stuck at Total Commander 7.56 because i got so many plugins and hot keys setup already. I tried a couple of times to upgrade and i just get bored and stay with my 7.56 package instead.

I just installed 9.22 and it was so long time a go i updated so could not even remember what the reg file was called to put in the new installed folder.

Do people still make TC packages any more?

Is it even a point of updating?

PS. Do even someone run TC without plugins?

7.56 is really old... However, most of the plugins you are currently using should also work with 9.22a. Therefore I would try a simple update. Just get the installation file from Ghislers Homepage and run it. When asked if you want a new installation or update an existing one, select the update. TC will use the existing ini files and the registry keys (if present). And see what happens. As I said, most of it will still work. Maybe some plugins are outdated and you have to update those as well. But that should'nt be much work.
I update TC irregularly and some of my plugins are probably not much younger than yours. I update these only if the old ones have problems or lack features I could need. Just try. And BTW: TC is a piece of software that is very rarely updated compared to others. Updating it once a year keeps the installation very close to up-to-date.
Besides, in TC the places ot the ini files are shown in Help/About Total Commander. So you can always find them easily.
Grüße/Regards,
Wilhelm

To become registered, copy your bought license file "wincmd.key" to the new TC folder.


HTH?

Right. But if he just makes a simple update, the registration will not be changed.

Ok i tried "update" but that did not work as i downloaded the 64 bits and mine is not 64 bit as that did not exist then, so i guess i try again tomorrow with the 32 bit!.

wincmd.key oooo that was the name of the file.. i was searching for something called reg.

But why don't a package exist any more. it was so many before.

Is it anything really new in TC i need?

Thanks for sending a list to the changes. But i mean, is it really anything NEW? Like i spoke about making a better way to go from listing files in details to viewing images, about 10 years on this forum by using scroll wheel! Or why we got this MASSIVE space between items when listing thumbnails? Im just asking is it anything new more the vertical buttons i turn off strait away that is useful to know about?

So anyway i updated my old TC with the 32 bit. and that worked!

Congratulations!
There are many new features in the recent versions of TC. But I must admit that, although I usually try these features at the beginning, I find myself using only very few of them in the actual everyday work. But others see that very differently, so everyone has to decide. However since there are always slight improvements of the old "hardcore" features as well I update at least when a new major release is available.
