Total Commander is an orthodox file manager, i.e. it features two file list panels (selectable via tab key) and a command line. It supports multiple tabs for each panel.

Total Commander is developed by Christian Ghisler (originally with Delphi, latest Windows 64-bit versions with Lazarus) and distributed as shareware or freeware, depending on the platform.

Total Commander supports extensibility via plugins,[5][6] and it can bind external programs for viewing or editing files. Many plugins are freely available, e.g. different packer formats or file viewer for special file formats. Many functions not available by default are supported and can be assigned to icons.[7]

Platforms

Total Commander is for the most part compatible with Linux using Wine.[10]

History

From 1993 until 2002, Total Commander was called Windows Commander. The name was changed in 2002 after Microsoft pointed out that the word "Windows" was their trademark.[11]
