What I want to mention is this: the plug-ins support a mechanism that author of TC calls a ‘Plugins Automated Installation’. The topic of this post is not TC or its plug-ins coding though.
chm files (search for a ‘guide’ keyword) that describe how to build your own plug-ins. The page I linked to also includes a number of. handling of additional file types, direct access to Registry, additional archiving options, etc. There are many of these, they are often pretty cool and they add a lot of extra features to this awesome program e.g. Like many other popular programs TC supports plug-ins.
I am not paid to endorse this software, I just love it and recommend it to anyone who wants to be more efficient. It’s worth every single eurocent you have to pay for it. Once you try TC, FAR, or any type of the Orthodox File Managers, there is no way back. However, as it is with everything, it’s always good to just describe stuff from a DF/IR angle, especially to ppl who never used or came across this program itself or a very specific subset of its features.Īnd since this post is about TC, I must say for the millionth time that if you use Windows Explorer as your goto File Manager you are hurting yourself a lot. As such, most of what I describe below is most likely known to many people. This Plugin is based on CxImage thanks to the respective authors.Total Commander (TC) and its Plug-ins are floating on the internet for a veeeery long time.
Please read the dedicated Readme files in the archives on how to install the plugins. While creating the intro video for Chicken Tournament, I wrote two plugins to enhance the file manager with the ability to pack and unpack AVI video files. The Total Commander is a great alternative to the Windows Explorer.
