Top plugins you must have ?

[bugmenot]

Ok. So I am new to TC, and because I don't want to install any Power Packages I want to install some plugins for myself, so can you tell me what are the most important plugins and what plugins do I need to install at your opinion. Most important plugins ?
Thanks

Depends solely on you needs.

I've got these packer plugins:
- iso plugin
- 7zip plugin
- catalog maker (writes dirs and files to a file)
- msi plugin
- total SQX (another great packer)

File plugins:
- registry
- back to life

And I also got another menu file, which makes all the hidden features of TC visible and sorted in the menus.

Go to http://www.totalcmd.net/ or http://www.ghisler.com/addons.htm and find yourself some useful plugins.

There can't be such list, it highly depends on one's needs.

From this list I'd consider only 7zip as must have, but I'd add Imagine.
I think you'll do the best if you'll try the most downloaded plugins.

i would add
- mmedia (plays media files in lister using windows media player activex --> all installed plugins are available)
- shelldetails (access all shell extensions from explorer, for example for searching mp3 files of a certain length, or files with a certain owner...)

[KevinMo]

-visualdirsize, analyze the disk usage
-sgviewer, if you don't use Imagine

Maybe just download all plugins from here...This pack contains all top TC plugins

[RID500]

There are pre configured TC packs with a lot of plugins installed.
Just download one of this packs for to test/see some plugins.

I also think it's a good option.

Well I think I started very good thread that could help to all TC newbies. I think plugins in TC are very strange stuff for all newbies so your answers were really helpful. Thanks again.

All are tested and work well.

With those installed plugins you extend possibilities of TC and cover a lot of common office activities.

Of course, if you do something special you must have a special tool too.
Sort is simply alphabetical.

Top download are not quite relevant, but can give a trend of interest.
I'm very interested of this topic.

Who made a poll ?


Best wishes,
