Total Commander Version 6.58, 16 Bit

Post by *Sir_SiLvA »

Sorry if this post already exists in the "depths" of this forum I did not find it, neither with the forum search
(which doesnt like 6.58 as a search word) nor with google


So I was working on a side project of mine recently and noticed:
Image: https://i.postimg.cc/DyJx9k4b/Zwischenablage01.png

So, I looked at the file properties and it states:

Code: Select all

File Description	:  Total Commander 16 bit international version, file manager replacement for Windows
File Version	:  6.57
Internal Name	:  TOTALCMD
Legal Copyright	:  Copyright © 1993-2007 Christian Ghisler
Product Name	:  Total Commander
Product Version	:  6.57
So I searched this forum and came up with nothing, same goes for Google, looking at the TC WebSite
(btw still called wcmd.html instead of tcmd *g*) and I searched even the wiki :D but came up empty...

Any possibility of - no I am not expecting it to be able to understand RedirectSection - "updating" TC v6.58
to have at least the correct version information ?
(apart from the number Total Commander 6.58, released in April 2008 so
Copyright © 1993-2007 Christian Ghisler should be 8)

I can confirm that TC 6.58 16bit has 6.58 in the title bar AND in the "Help" -> "About" dialog, but that the exe file's file version info shows 6.57.

The Copyright info in the "About" box also correctly shows 2008 and not 2007.

In the tcmd16.exe file I find both 6.58 and 6.57 strings - so apparently TC did not use the file-version info internally, but it's own constant. - I wonder if it still like that?

Also, note weird use of capital letters on about box:

Code: Select all

Hmm that is not what I see: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/tc658about.png

The md5 checksum of my TCMD16.EXE is 9d7aee9b3240af4642421d458ce7db2c

Same checksum, bug in translation, after switch to English all is OK.

I have the same box as petermad (except the name).

Yeah it looks like Mr. Ghisler just forgot to update the tcmd16.rc-file before compiling?

Nothing. Slightly OT.
It's just about that some people would like further development of the 16-bit version.

ah ok ! (the only thing i wish is that 6.58 would understand RedirectSection...)
but this thread is only about the fact that the file version information in tc 6.58, 16 bit is wrong

(same goes for the 32 bit version - thanks Petermad for your archive at https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/ !)
