So this is the final version!
Thank you very much for providing an excellent program and keeping it updated for free for such a long time!
I have been using it for many years, and used it in Windows as well as installed it in two Linux distributions (Q4OS and Mint - somebody made it available there also).
Best wishes

Edit: Oh - now I see that "the final version" probably is the final version of TC version 9.20 (after the release candidates etc.). For a while I thought, it meant this is the final version (ever) of TC. Hopefully it is not
Thank you!!

I want to thank Christian and his brother too!
Total commander is by far the best (not one of the best!) programs I have ever used after so many years. It is my right hand. I can't live without it, seriously. I admit it, I am addicted. It is the first program I would install after every new windows installation.
I love the speed, the stability, the keyboard shortcuts, the features everything. I love the fact that it is not bloated, I love it's simplicity and it's power !!!
Thank you Christian Ghisler!
Your work is awesome.

Re: Thank you!!
PS. Regarding the above, I was curious if you were involved in making the Linux version(s) of Total Commander, and/or if you gave somebody permissions to do it.jfogYahoo wrote:So this is the final version!

I started creating a Linux version many years ago when Borland (the makers of Delphi) brought out Kylix (Delphi for Linux). Unfortuantely there were many problems, including crashes when using threads, which I couldn't resolve. There is also the problem with plugins not working on Linux, they would need conversion too. Therefore I have stopped all development and support the Windows version with WinE instead.

Ok - thanks. I worked a little with Delphi but otherwise mostly Turbo Pascal. The versions I have of TC in Linux (Mint and Q4OS) work fine after some tweaking - at least for the functions I use. -ghisler(Author) wrote:I started creating a Linux version many years ago when Borland (the makers of Delphi) brought out Kylix (Delphi for Linux).

When you wrote "This is the final version" - I first thought: this is the final version of TC (ever) - but now I see that it is probably just the final version of of v. 9.20! At least I hope so
Re:
I read in another thread that now you use Lazarus for developing TC. Isn't there a possibility for a native Linux version (besides Wine) since Lazarus is available for Linux too?ghisler(Author) wrote: ↑2018-07-15, 07:28 UTC I started creating a Linux version many years ago when Borland (the makers of Delphi) brought out Kylix (Delphi for Linux).

Re: Thank you!!
I'm using Lazarus for the 64-bit version only. Unfortunately I use a lot of native Windows function calls which do not exist on Linux, so I cannot simply port TC to Linux. And even if I did (which I tried many years ago), there will be no plugins available. Instead I'm regularly testing TC on Wine.
