I confess, I most-often use the command line in Total Commander for quick access to the CMD in Windows. Whenever files are involved, you know eventually the command line will need to be used for something. Windows Commander would later be renamed to Total Commander – written by Christian Ghisler. The interface was cleanly modelled after the DOS based application called Norton Commander. The program was a cool visual representation of the file system that didn’t force me to click so many times (like I had to in File Manager). I was an avid command line user and I found a great little tool called Windows Commander to manage the growing number of files that easily consumed the little space I have. I was using one of my first computers and it ran Windows 3.11 (for Workgroups) and my hard drive size was in the 200 megabyte range. So, let me take you back to the early nineties. Very few of the tools I use fit into the category of “That great tool” – one of them, though, is Total Commander. Those are the tools that I’m interested in, and the ones I want to write about. The better of them are ones that provide the kind of flexibility that they become something entirely new. I tend to prefer tools that are as cross-platform as possible and that generally stand the test of time. I use tools for database access, process viewing, registry searching, debugging, error log parsing, mail connections and even four or five different types of FTP servers. Compare editor, cursor in lister, separate trees, logging, enhanced overwrite dialog etc.I use a heck of allot of tools and utilities.Thumbnails view, custom columns, enhanced search.Tabbed interface, regular expressions, history+favorites buttons.Built-in FTP client with FXP (server to server) and HTTP proxy support.ZIP, ARJ, LZH, RAR, UC2, TAR, GZ, CAB, ACE archive handling + plugins.Compare files / synchronize directories.Although some study might be needed to discover them.Īdditionally, Total Commander can be made portable via a special installer for USB and U3 disks. As well, a large variety of internal functions (commands) are available and ready to assign to icons. different packer formats or file viewer for special file formats. Many plugins are freely available for e.g. And it has the ability to bind external programs for viewing or editing files.
The program is extensible by programmers via an open plugin-API. Total Commander also includes a tabbed interface and a versatile multi-rename tool with regular expression support. Also ZIP, ARJ, LZH, RAR, UC2, TAR, GZ, CAB, ACE archive handling plus plugins, built-in FTP client with FXP, HTTP proxy support, and more.
It offers multiple language support, search, file comparison, directory synchronization, quick view panel with bitmap display. Total Commander is a file manager replacement for Windows, Windows Mobile and Android.
