Root-Funktionen überall

Hello. I didn't understand the Meaning of this feature. Currently it's inactive. If I enable it, do I have Root-Functions also, if my device isn't rooted? Xx

I guess you are referring to
Code: Select all
2015-05-18 Release v 2.61 public beta 1
2015-05-18 Added: Disable all root functions: Put file or folder name totalcommandernoroot in the internal sd-card base directory
It is like it says: You can DISABLE all root functions (if you have any)
There is no option to enable it without having it before.

Enabling this option means, you tell TC that you have already rooted your device and he can use root functions to list directory content.
Disabled means you don't have root rights and he has to use less effective java functions to list directory content.

If you check this, TC will use the super user shell (su) also for reading directories where root isn't needed, e.g. in "/". This has some advantages, like viewing symbolic links as such, and viewing their link target - both things which cannot be done with the Java functions. However, links to files and to folders look the same because they cannot be distinguished in the "ls -la" function call.
