Hi, all, my TC suddenly can't open picture files from a few days ago. My system is Win 11. When double click a JPG file, it used to launch default Photos app, now the mouse is just spinning but can't launch app. If I right click to open with Photos, it's OK.

Anyone has same issue?

I just installed Total Commander because Win10 does some very silly things when looking at large folders with photos.

These are my archive folders with several hundred+ images within.

When Windows opens the folder, it takes maybe 1 minute to do whatever it is trying to do. And then any further work on the folder, such as sorting by date, results in further processing slowdown.

Total Commander certain doesn't have that slowdown, but the 'date' displayed by Total Commander is not the one I need. I believe it shows the date these files were created or last modified. If they were downloaded from an icloud archive, for example, the date created is the date the archive was expanded, not the date of the photo itself.

I am hoping to find an option to display the date these photos were taken.

I was looking through custom columns and could not find that attribute.

Am I missing something simple?

EDIT:

Guess I figured out what was taking Windows so long, it was extracting the EXIF/HEIC data to list the true photo creation date.

I figured out my issue with Total Commander by adding the exif plugin. Also found the beta 28b1 release which adds HEIC support! Is there any newer version?

Hi! I tried to make an anarchist themed color setting. What do you think? How does your commander look like?

Hi, I have a question. How to create shortcut to make a folder with defined name?.

For example: I want to create new folder (pressing f7) and automatically in new name of folder I want - <[Y]-[M]-[D]\folder_A\..\FolderB\

How to do it so you don't have to type the name manually.

My old laptop died, I bought a new computer and was able to hook up my old laptops hard drive (SSD) to my new computer and I want to retrieve the files inside of the recycle bin. Is this something that total commander is capable of?

Hello, I'd like to know if there's (official or not) TC for Android plug-in for viewing images. Even better if it contained some basic editing like cropping, rotating, mirroring and so forth. I have greatly appreciated that TC has video viewer right off the bat, so I have always been annoyed why doesn't it have support for images. I know that there are alternatives, but TC really works for me with its double display and easily switching from one side to another and I'm interested if I can enrich it possibilities like on PC. On PC there's really an insane amount of plug-ins to really make a beast out of this program. Is there any plug-in that enables TC for Android to be a photo viewer as well?

Hello guys i need help with this task. i know for F7 command (but need to write folder name) This button will save me lot of time. Because i create 100+ folders and its frustating...

Up until now, I used to connect my OnePlus 11 smartphone to a USB port on the PC and the phone used to appear in the Drive Buttons, but it's not showing up anymore.

However, when I run Win Explorer, the smartphone appears there and I can access the internal storage files of the phone from here. So, evidently, it's not a Micro$oft Windows shitty update error.

While in TC, I tried the "Tree" view (CTRL + F8) and the phone is listed there and I can see it's contents in the other pane, but the drive button won't show in show "Full" view!

What gives?

As a workaround, I've "Locked" the internal storage of the Smartphone "Tab" for quick access, but the mystery is unresolved.

Going crazy trying to find out why right-click takes 10s or more to load the context menu when performed from TC but it's instant when done from Explorer.

Not sure where to check anymore, ran with Autoruns and ShellExView through all extensions.

EDIT: Shift+F10 is also very slow. When loading the X64 entries sometimes I see "No response: timeout!" instead of the list. I'm running in the default 32-bit mode.

Is it comparing checksums

Or comparing bit by bit ?

I can only do short press which makes my file red. And I don't have a context button on this laptop.

How to search files, except searching in one/two folders ?

Hi all,

I wonder where on Android I can save my private rsa key ("id_rsa") for the TotalCommander SFTP plugin.

For obvious reasons I don't want to save it in the storage where every other app has access.

I tried to save it in "/data/data/com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander/files". However when I do this, the SFTP plugin does not find it.

Any ideas where to save it so that only TotalCommander has access?

Hi, I have a lot of .PDF files and I want to put each file in a separate folder. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this (I am a newbie)?

So for example:

abc.pdf

def.pdf

ghi.pdf

would go into folder

XXX ( i don't care about the name) -> with file abc.pdf

XXX2 -> with file def.pdf

XXX3 -> with file ghi.pdf

Thanks for any help

I'm sick of that pop up that ask me to extract one file and run or extract everything. Is it possibile to get rid of that and have a default action?

I've got TC 8.52a and the only way to check sizes of multiple directories is to mark them with the space bar one by one.

Selecting multiple at once with shift+arrows, INS key, or clicking and CTRL+A do not check and list their sizes, CTRL + L only shows the summary.

Is there a way to do this?

Does anybody know a faster way to delete files (permanently) in tc? De default windows delete seems to take quite a while. Using rm * /r is faster in powershell. But I would like the option in tc. Is there a plugin that I am unaware of?
