This page provides a list of changes made to Total Commander during its development, starting from the latest change and going back in time. Because some versions of Total Commander were developed in parallel, the list is not completely chronological and contains duplicate changes.

After the release of version 7.0, two branches were being developed. In addition to the ongoing development of version 7.0, version 6.56 was also further developed for users who either did not want to or could not upgrade to version 7.0. As a result, version 6.57 and 6.58 were released simultaneously with version 7.02 and 7.03. [1] [2]

Version 8.0, which was the first 64-bit version of Total Commander, was developed in parallel with versions 7.57 and 7.57a.

The latest changes to Total Commander can also be found in the file HISTORY.TXT.

This is a very big page and your browser and operating system may not be able to handle this. As an alternative you can download this page and view it using Total Commander's lister. You can also view sections of this page, see Category:Lists of changes.

(28.09.10) Fixed: Windows Vista/7: Do not follow junctions (reparse points) located on network drives when the target drive differs, because the stored target is an absolute path, so the redirection would go to a local directory
(28.09.10) Fixed: RAR packer: -sfx was passed twice to the packer when creating self-extracting archives
(28.09.10) Fixed: Verify CRC checksums: Could not abort verification while no files were found to be checked, e.g. because the crc file was moved to a different directory

(26.09.10) Fixed: Handle faulty ftp servers which return Unix file listing in reply to MLSD command (instead of MLSD format)

(31.05.10) Added: Synchronize dirs with FTP when files with same name but different case exist, e.g. index.htm + INDEX.HTM -> just show these files in red and ignore them (can be viewed or deleted)
(31.05.10) Fixed: Synchronize dirs: No subdirectory headers were shown when using "Only selected" with some selected dirs, but "Recurse subdirs" turned off (which compares files in these dirs, but not their subdirs)

(23.05.10) Fixed: TC hangs when trying to unpack 0 byte file created by packer izarcc (reason: compression is set to bzip2, but no data present)
(21.05.10) Fixed: TcUsbRun.exe not adding menu items to insert notification dialog on Vista x64 -> need to write to 64-bit registry branch
(21.05.10) Fixed: Synchronize dirs: Main window could become accessible when synchronizing via port connection
(21.05.10) Fixed: Synchronize dirs: Copying was aborted immediately when trying to sync after aborting compare by content (so some [?] results remained)

(18.04.10) Fixed: Synchronize dirs, asymmetric mode, directory on one side, zip on other, compare two dirs with same name but different case -> dirs themselves shown twice (but not their content)

(16.04.10) Fixed: Quick search with Ctrl+Alt: If user pressed e.g. AltGr+e, both 'e' and 'Euro' were added to quick search. Now try to prefer 'Euro' if there is a match, otherwise 'e'. Cursor position can still be wrong in Ctrl+S mode

(13.04.10) Fixed: Could not open totalcmd main program when "only one instance" was set, and a standalone tool (Lister, Sync, Compare) was already running
(11.04.10) Fixed: FTP: Crash when starting transfer in background, only after connection via "FTP New Connection" (Ctrl+N)
(11.04.10) Fixed: Custom columns view: In search results view (after 'feed to listbox'), TC did not pass the DOS 8.3 names to non-Unicode plugins even if the files had Unicode names where Windows converted the accented chars to unaccented instead of ?

(05.10.08) Added: X64 context menu now supports context menus for multiple files, e.g. for "send to"

(03.05.06) Added: Optimized writing to ini files: All sections which contain lists of items (dir history, hotlist, command line history, tabs) are now written in one step (not using the standard WritePrivateProfileString, but directly with WriteFile).

(21.06.06) Release Total Commander 6.55 public beta 1

(21.06.06) Added: totalcmd.exe.manifest file, because Totalcmd didn't use the XP look in some cases (internal manifest resource was ignored)

(13.06.06) Added: Drag&Drop to button bar, copy+paste via right click: Show error if bar file is not writable

(17.05.06) Fixed: The already running instance of TC wasn't restored when minimized to tray and only 1 instance allowed when starting TC again
(10.05.06) Fixed: Using watchdirs sometimes produced duplicate file names (reason: Windows reported the file with a different upper-/lowercase than it exists on disk)
(10.05.06) Fixed: Holding down Alt+Shift+F6 (test archive) with AlwaysUnpackInBackground option set could cause access violation -> only allow to open next dialog after 500 ms delay

(03.03.06) Fixed: When unpacking, remove relative paths in the form ..\ or ...\ (any number of dots >=2) -> this would place the file in the parent dir, which is a potential security risk
(03.03.06) Fixed: Lister: Printing selection printed junk in the first line if the selection was made beyond the beginning of the file
(01.03.06) Fixed: Right click -> New submenu: look in "All Users\Templates" if template not found in "<username>\Template"
(26.02.06) Fixed: Files - Unpack all not working with files named e.g. test..zip when "Unpack each archive to separate subdir" was checked
(22.02.06) Fixed: When using "Show only selected files" in thumbnails view while thumbs were still being extracted, the wrong thumbs could be shown -> clear thumbs extraction queue
(21.02.06) Fixed: With WatchDirs=5, files could disappear from the list when editing them in some editors
(10.02.06) Added: Synchronize dirs: "Close" button now changed to "Abort" during comparison (function re-inserted into 6.x line after the release of TC 6.54a)
(10.02.06) Added: Synchronize dirs: react to windows messages also during normal compare, not only during compare by content -> can abort with mouse, or switch to other program and back
