Total Commander newsletter
1. Total Commander 7.50 is available now!
What's new? There are many new functions this time. The most important are:
- Official support for Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit)
- Full Unicode support in most functions where it is possible, including FTP, ZIP packer, and plugin interfaces
- Help file now by default in HTML format (CHM). The old HLP file is still available online
- Support for file names longer than 259 characters (up to 1022) in most file operations
- The current directory above the file lists can act as a clickable bar ("breadcrumb bar")
- Protect the stored ftp passwords with a master password using AES256 encryption
- Start Lister, compare by content or synchronize dirs directly via command line parameters
- Comments (Ctrl+Z) can now have a max. length of 4095 characters, and support line breaks
- Synchronize dirs: Option to synchronize also empty directories, option to copy just specific file properties (like the time)
- Allow to use the Windows key for user-defined hotkeys
- On 64-bit Windows, allow to use 64-bit shell extensions in local menu (context menu)
- Copy files/directories to multiple target directories (or lnk files pointing to directories) in one operation
- Quick search with search dialog: Show button which allows to show only files/dirs matching the filter
- Choose different character encodings in Lister, full support for right to left text
- New internal association system, e.g. for using Total Commander from a USB stick

2. The virus W32/Induc-A was recently found in 2 TC-related Tools (CopyToTabs and Tc_But_Exe) and the following plugins:
These tools and plugins were not created by ourselves, but by users of our software. The old versions available via our addons page are not affected, because the virus is relatively new. The virus isn't specific to Total Commander plugins, it has affected many standalone plugins too.
The virus doesn't contain any malicious functions except for spreading itself. It installs itself into the Delphi compiler, so all programs created with this compiler will be infected too. If you aren't Delphi programmer and use one of these plugins, please update them from the above links. If you are a Delphi programmer, please read these links [1 Sophos], [2 FAQ] and [3 FAQ] for more information.
Please note that Total Commander plugins are independent executable code like other programs you download from the Internet. Therefore the same care should be taken as when downloading programs, e.g. using a virus scanner or uploading the file to www.virustotal.com. Current scanners can detect this virus.
