What is Total Commander?
Total Commander (former Wincmd) is a file manager for Windows (TM) similar to the Windows Explorer. But Total Commander uses a different approach: it has two fixed windows side by side like a well-known file manager for DOS.
Here are some key features of Total Commander:
- Supports
Drag & Drop with the mouse, including to the print manager.
- Archives are handled like subdirectories. You can easily copy files to and from archives. The appropriate archiving program is automatically called.
pkzip,
arj,
lha,
rar,
uc2 and
ace are all supported.
- Start-menu (User-defined commands) to place your frequently used DOS or Windows programs into a drop-down menu. The actual directory and/or the file under the cursor can be delivered to the application.
- Command line for the simple starting of programs with parameters, simply by typing the program name or by pressing CTRL+ENTER or CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.
- Enhanced
search function with full text search in any files across multiple drives.
- Built in file viewer (F3) to view files of ANY SIZE in hex, binary or text format, using either the ASCII- (DOS) or the ANSI- (Windows) character set. The line width and font size can be changed.
- Internal Unzip by
Info-Zip, which allows unzipping without calling an external program! The
source code in Turbo-Pascal
is free and can be obtained directly from the author.
- Configurable button bar to start external programs or internal menu commands.
- Configurable main menu.
- Internal unpackers for ZIP, ARJ, LZH, GZ, TAR, RAR, ACE, and 7Z formats.
