List of changes

This page contains a list of changes to Total Commander during it's development. The list starts at the latest change and goes back in time.

Remarks

Note that some versions of Total Commander were developed in parallel. That's why some modification dates of later versions are earlier than modification dates of earlier versions.

Also, after the release of version 7.00 two branches were being developed. Besides the further development of version 7.00, version 6.56 was also further developed for people that did not want to or could not upgrade to version 7.00. Thus, version 6.57 and 6.58 were released at the same time version 7.02 and 7.03 were released. [1] [2]

(07.11.06) Added: Special handling of Alt+Letter user-defined hotkeys: catch them before they can get to the menu handler, so Alt+S doesn't invoke both the internal command and open the Start menu

(07.11.06) Added: Ignore list: An item with a backslash at the end explicitly hides only directories with that name, e.g. html\ hides directories (but not files) named "html" in all directories

(07.11.06) Fixed: Overwrite dialog, Option "Rename target file": If user cancelled the new name request dialog, the entire copy operation was cancelled
(07.11.06) Fixed: Two separate trees: Tree not updated for Ctrl+Cursor left/right when using two separate trees, and the directory was transferred to the inactive panel

(05.11.06) Fixed: Control distance in configuration - options - display - help texts

(24.10.06) Fixed: If Shift+<some key> was defined for cm_GoToPreviousTab or cm_GoToNextTab, this key combination caused a search result tab to duplicate itself (which was of course not intentional)
