Ich habe auf FileForum.com den folgenden Review gefunden und wollte nur noch einmal ausdrücklich darauf hinweisen, da ich finde, dass er einige Punkte an TC anspricht, die tatsächlich noch geändert werden sollten. Und das auf konstruktive Art und Weise.
Viele Grüße,

Finally, we got a new release and I thought that old awkward procedures are solved now, but: I have tested the new Version and the new Folder Tabs are really nice, but the GUI is inconsequent, for example, it's possible to say that the target path should get identical to the source path, but the same command for all folder Tabs is missing. (You can, of course, manually copy all Source folder tabs to the target or save the source tab definition into a file and open it in the destination, but hey, we have a computer!) Unfortunately, it still has old bugs not fixed: - it is not possible to compare two directories without using 'Syncronize Directories' - Total Commander still just compare files and does not mark missing directories! -> If you need to know which directories are missing in the target directory, you have to mark them manually! - Commands like 'copy' finally have new options to define things like "yes, please copy all files without further inquiries", but it does not save the settings and it's not clear how Total Commander will start the command: the options are hidden in a 'options-button' (something strange but new...) and you always have to open it to see how it will execute the command... -> if you would like to start 20 commands without any distractions you have to define the same options 20 times... - Total Commander still does not have a 'skip all errors' command. If you try to copy 20GByte and you don't have access to all files or some files have an read error then you can not stop Total Commander asking to skip such files. - It is still not possible to start a search for a file job in the Background - Totalcommander gets blocked until you have finished that job... - Total Commander is generally forgetful: most commands don't remember the last used settings, e.g. if you search for files older than 3 weeks then 'weeks' will be reseted to the default value after finishing the search request. -> if you try to use it to manage 20 different customer directories then you have to define it 20 times. Of course, Total Commander allows to save search settings, but this feature only make sense to periodically used search settings. Therefore, it's a pity: wait for the next release and use whatever you use now - it probably is more user friendly. kalidu
