Ghisler Software has announced the release of Total Commander 8 Beta, a new version of its shareware file manager tool, designed to improve on the rather basic options offered by Windows Explorer. Version 8 is notable for introducing the first dedicated 64-bit build of Total Commander, designed to run exclusively on 64-bit operating systems. Total Commander 8’s other changes are more minor in scope: a handful of new minor and tweaked features coupled with a raft of bug fixes. Version 8 is not designed to be run on production machines – users are directed to the latest stable release, Total Commander 7.56 instead. One of Total Commander’s biggest selling points is the fact it’s designed for expanded functionality via a raft of third-party plug-ins. The good news is that most should work fine with Total Commander 8 32-bit; the bad news is that all of them will require recoding to work with the 64-bit build. Both builds can be installed side-by-side with no ill-effects, allowing 64-bit users to continue using the 32-bit version when a specific plug-in is required. Among the various changes listed in the version 8 release notes are support for viewing JPEG, GIF and PNG files using Total Commander’s file-viewing application, Lister (accessible by pressing [F3]). Other tweaks have also been made to the program’s multi-rename tool, search function and user interface. Total Commander 8 still utilises the same, slightly dated interface that may put people off using it. There are of course alternatives, from the excellent – but pricey – Directory Opus to the freeware FreeCommander should you want to compare different file explorer replacements. Total Commander 8 Beta 32-bit and Total Commander 8 Beta 64-bit are available to download now as shareware 30-day trials for PCs running Windows 2000 or later. The full version costs $46.
