one other thing that I like is that on windows most file extensions get a difrerent color and icon. Even if I ran TC under wine, I wouldn't get that, would I? and double-clicking would not launch the correct application right? I haven't tried (linux VM blew up!)

I don't really know how does new beta work on Wine because I don't use Linux at all. Last time I checked I had no problems with TC.

I think that 7.5 should work better than 7.04a. Wine compatibility was discussed many times on private beta board and Ghisler made few changes for Linux only. I know that he even pulled back one feature for Windows because it was breaking Wine completely :)

Well, yeah...but I was looking for tips like "be sure to set this setting to this value and that setting to that value to really boost your productivity and/or appearance."

There are too many things to write about...

Agreed...but when I was starting this thread I was hoping for people to pick what they thought was the best of the best to write about...not to write about everything they knew.

Obviously: that's not all but I don't really think I should try to copy http://en.totalcmd.pl/download or http://www.totalcmd.net/. I would rather leave the place for curious explorers.

I'm not against exploring, but often you will run into three or four different plugins that offer the same or similar functionality. A heads-up as to which one is the best (and usually there is one that stands head & shoulders above the rest) would be great without us having to duplicate a veteran's work by having to try them all out to see which one is best would also be a great contribution to this thread.

But I'm enjoying the thread...Keep things coming. I'm sure Darwin is learning as much as I am.

btw TC 7.5 beta 4 lists files a lot slower. There's about .5 sec delay that wasn't there before. Anyone experiencing this? I don't remember having installed any new related plugin.-urlwolf

Indeed the 7.5 betas do seem to be listing files slower than 7.04a did. I don't know why that is. 7.5 seems to be slower at connecting to network shares as well.

I hope I didn't try to do that :)

Anyway, one other tip. The TC main menu is fully configurable - you can build it from scratch. The default menu does not contain all the available commands. Somewhere in the depths of the various TC enhancement and plugin sites, there is a downloadable complete menu definition with (supposedly) all TC commands. I don't have a link handy, but you should be able to find it easily (I think it was called "extended menu"). By switching to that menu you can easily browse and try out a number of features that may not be readily apparent in the default configuration.

Of course, with the new 7.50 release, there are probably new commands as well, but these should be documented in the release history.
