When will begin the 2011's beta / rc TC update?

TC is WINDOWS filemanager

It's already not Windows Commander FileManager, it has been changed to Total Commander FileManager from long long ago. Total, means All!

use TC under *nix try Wine

Since TC has already ported to a cross-platform develop IDE,
and also as the website of Lazarus said: "......it's easy to transfer to other platform......a GUI app developed on one platform (for example, Windows) can be compiled on another platform (for example, OS X or Linux) without any changes to the form design or the form code files ......",
I think, maybe it's a best opportunity to let TC to occupy the other platforms, e.g. MacOS.

You are totally .... - the Windows was changed to Total because Micisoft requested it not because TC runs everywhere.
TC uses Windows-Api-Functions so yes its a WINDOWS File-Manager.

And I see You have no clue about coding just because Lazarus, C++, or whatever enables you to code Multi-Platform you cant say to Lazerus compile it for Mac and voilá...yes you can ofc compile the TC Layout easy for Mac but it wouldnt have ANY functions at all...

yes and even when the UI _runs_ on OS X that doesn't mean it's a Mac application.

Therefore I will now begin to fix bugs and add new features.

Nice to hear there's much progress. Wouldn't it be better to release a TC8 beta as is (without any new major features at least), in order to pass a test period by the users (validating that indeed everything works OK) before adding new stuff?

I second to that, it would be awesome to have ability to help with testing TC8 (64 bit).

Hi !

Chris has a fix group of Beta testers.

• Right, but currently all don't own a 64-bit PC… For instance, I've not any

- Thus, the Author could -perhaps- add a few 64-bit PC owners to the current beta-team.

I fear that with additional testers the risk of a leaked beta would be very high. Therefore I could as well release a public 64-bit beta myself, of course with the necessary warnings...

Thank you for reply. Public beta would be fair enough. I would love to participate in beta-testing to help release new version of TC sooner.

Weren't such risk lower in the past thanks to the per user exe files?

It would be a great idea to post a public beta of the 64 bit version, I am working only on 64 bit machines (@work and @home), 32 bit TC is sometimes not very easy to use on such systems ...

What is unclear ? For example if you have Novell Client 64 Bit (2.1) installed, properties of a file exists two times, 32 Bit version, 64 bit version; All attributes are only in 64 bit version visible ...
