Total Commander 2.60 final (pre) for Android

Post by *ghisler(Author) »

Total Commander 2.60 final for Android is available now!

Currently it is only available to beta testers in the play store, and via download link below. I will move it to general downloads once I'm sure that there isn't a new major problem.

What's new in this pre-release?
- Show error message when 'Force Fastscroll' XPosed module causes TC to crash (when using Spinner control)
- Don't use PNG2 extension for icons, seems to cause problems with some custom ROMs. Instead use new aapt option cruncherEnabled = false with gradle 1.1.3
- Use white status bar icons on Android 4.4 or newer, otherwise no % done visible
- New icons, rotate screen while connected to a plugin like FTP -> plugin icon was reverted to zip icon
- Go up one directory in ftp connection with many subfolders -> previous folder may not be scrolled in visual area
- Show warning in home folder when App "Greenify" is detected: When the option "Deep Hibernation" is used, TC cannot see/start any plugins. This feature seems to be intentional: The function is described as "...apps, stopping them from being woken by other apps."

What's new in beta 7?
- Option to hide status bar also on phones (and tablets with phone interface like the Nexus 7) with Android 4 or newer
- New language: Belarusian
- Android 5: Use old style date and time pickers in properties on Samsung devices, the new one crashes on some devices like the Note 3
- Arrow buttons (2 panel view) too big in mdpi mode
- Editor: Show the keyboard automatically in the text search dialog
- Android 5: Changed elevation of app bar from 8dp to 4dp, as the material design standard seems to suggest
- Option "Hide notification bar" was disabled on Android 4 or newer. Note: This option has no effects on tablets with true tablet interface (notifications at the bottom)
- Clickable icon (to go to home folder) was no longer shown in title bar on Android 5

What's new in beta 6?
- New icons in upper toolbar and on launcher (Android 5)
- Stock Android: Renaming a file could make it appear as a folder on a connected Windows PC (via MTP)
- Show all user buttons in grayscale when using new button style

What's new in beta 5?
- New icons (drawn by Max Bazanov, who also did the Windows Phone icons) now default on Android 5, can be changed manually on all versions
- Try to load JPG thumbnails from EXIF data, use rotation flag to rotate images as needed
- Bugfixes, mainly for Android 5

What's new in beta 4?
- Fixes crashes in several dialogs using the ListView control
- Android 5: Problem moving folder within external SD-Card

What's new in beta 3?
- Larger default space between icons and file names (configurable)
- Media Player notification: Very small "x" button to directly close the player
- Search only in selected folders (and files)
- Bugfixes

What's new in beta 2?
- Download from any plugin to internal memory/sd-card uses again normal download function (faster than streaming function)
- Editor: When a second file is opened while the editor is open, offer to save the previous file, then load that new file
- Create new folder in "Save as" dialog (e.g. in editor, or called from other apps)
- Editor, word wrap enabled: Re-wrap when screen orientation changes
- Some RAR archives had just first character of each file name (on devices with Intel processor)
- Samsung multi-window mode stopped working due to renamed icons

What's new in beta 1?
- Support new Android 5 functions to write to external SD-card
- Now using Android Studio instead of Eclipse for development
- bugfixes

The history of changes can now be found here:

The plugins do not need to be updated for this beta.

Here is all the information you need to install:

The plugin is now available via Play Store! To install it, you need to
1. Join the Google Group Total Commander Mobile
2. Follow the link in the welcome message labeled "beta test settings"
3. Click on the button to enable beta testing
4. If you had installed TC from the store, it will install the beta automatically. Otherwise you will have to install TC from the store yourself.

Alternatively, you can download TC from us directly and install it on your device. If this is your first installation of TC for Android, please open the "Settings" app of your Android device and go to the "Applications" page. Here you need to allow apps from "Unknown Sources".

Now there are three ways to install Total Commander for Android:

1. If you read this page on your Android device, just click on this link:
http://ghisler.com/tcbeta.apk

2. If you read this page on your PC, and have a barcode scanner app installed on your Android device, double click on the following QR code, then scan it with your phone to start the download. You can get a barcode App by searching for barcode in the market. Personally I'm using the app "Barcode Scanner" by ZXing Team, it's a very simple one, which is open source, so it should be safe.

3. Finally you can of course type in the above link by hand in the web browser of your device.

On some devices, you need to go to apps - downloads to install, clicking on the .apk in the notification area may fail.

Please post your bug reports and suggestions here in the forum!

Thanks for your help!
