Total Commander 8.00 beta 24

Nuova beta di Total Commander 8, la 24 per l’esattezza. Questo software, per chi non lo conoscesse, è un’ottima alternativa a Esplora Risorse di Windows. Nello specifico per chi preferisce muovere, copiare o tagliare file con la tastiera Total Commander è la migliore scelta. È inoltre uno dei migliori i file manager in circolazione.

Una delle peculiarità più rilevanti di Total Commander è la presenza di due finestre affiancate, che possono visualizzare il contenuto di due cartelle differenti. Questa disposizione permette ad esempio di selezionare i file di una cartella e di trasferirli altrove senza dover minimizzare o rimpicciolire la finestra della prima cartella. Tutto ciò è possibile farlo con il mouse ma anche con la tastiera, cosa che può sembrale difficile a farsi ma che con davvero poco esercizio diventa lo strumento ideale e più veloce per utilizzare Total Commander.

Total Commander offre inoltre una serie di opzioni avanzate, tra le quali la possibilità di esplorare, visualizzare e creare file compressi come se fossero normali cartelle e senza l’ausilio di ulteriori programmi. Può anche essere sfruttato come client FTP , permettendo all’utente di lavorare su cartelle remote con le stesse modalità delle cartelle locali.

Fornisce inoltre una toolbar altamente personalizzabile, alla quale è possibile aggiungere qualsiasi programma.

Questo il change-log della beta 24:

– Added: wcx_ftp.ini [General] DecodePercent=0: If set to 1, decode %hex values in user name/password in URLs (32/64)
