1.8.1

Total Commander speed up

• Increased the speed of receiving and analyzing tabs
  
• Increased the speed of creating the user-defined command required for QuickSwitch (in usercmd.ini).
  
• Reduced disk load.
  

File dialogs speed up

• Increased the speed of determining the type of file dialog and Menu display.
  

• Reduced the number of menu appearances in incorrect applications (false-positives). To do this, the old SysListView dialog was deleted.

  [!NOTE]

  It is recommended to clear your blacklist to speed up configuration reading:

  • By opening the settings tab Reset > Black list...
    
  • By opening QuickSwitch.ini and manually deleting unnecessary processes.
    

  Your current blacklist will continue to be taken into account, but now you need to add applications to it less often.

• Increased the speed of switching the selected path in the Menu and the speed of AutoSwitch.

  [!WARNING]

  This option was deleted: "Close old-style file dialog after selecting path". Now the old-style file dialog closes automatically after selecting the path or Auto Switch (old dialog only has a folder tree, sometimes without input field). This was necessary to speed up work with file dialogs.

Fixed

• After turning on (always) AutoSwitch, the menu appeared twice.
  
• After disabling the option Theme > File manager paths > (Show) locked tabs, the active Total Commander tab was displayed incorrectly.
  > [!note]
  >
  > If the currently active tab is locked and this option is disabled, the next unlocked tab starting from the active pane (from left to right) will be shown first in the menu.
  >
  > If all tabs are locked, nothing will appear in the Menu.
  

1.8.2

Change AutoSwitch target

• You can choose which path AutoSwitch should switch to: pinned, favorite, ... (see details about the special paths here).
  > [!Tip]
  > You can enable Always AutoSwitch option and select "PinnedPaths" as the target. Then AutoSwitch will always open the pinned path.
  

• You can select the index of the path that will be opened. Index start with 1 relative to current menu section (pinned, favorites, ...).
  

Menu display speed up

• Increased the speed of menu display after pressing main hotkey (Ctrl+Q by default).
  
• Increased the speed of menu display after AutoSwitch.
  
• Increased the speed of menu display after selecting any item (path, AutoSwitch, ...).
  

Fixed

• Menu didn't display after enabling (show menu) always and AutoSwitch options.
  
• The inability to unpin a path (see pinned paths).
  

1.8.3

Features

• After enabling ShortPath > Show short path... option, 1st letter in the will be underlined. Press this letter on your keyboard to activate this path in the menu (see more about keys here). For example: S̲ystem32\Resources – press S to activate this path.
  
• Open "Menu settings" and press Debug button to see all controls of the active window. Press Export to save this data to the readable file.
  

Fixed regressions

• The "Save As" file dialog button did not work properly and focus was lost from the file name input field.
  
• File dialog may not respond to user actions.
  
• Switching between the "AutoSwitch" and "BlackList" Menu options didn't work correctly.
  

Fixed annoyances

• After enabling "AutoSwitch" option, the file dialog may have closed (#77).
  
• The Menu might not close and stay above all windows after pressing Esc or clicking anywhere (#88, #94).
  
• The Menu sometimes didn't appear when the file dialog was opened.
  

1.8.4

• Added MenuStack to AutoSwitch target which allows to AutoSwitch to the 1st, 2nd, ... visible path. E.g. if you choose 1st path from MenuStack and pin something, AutoSwitch always will switch to this 1st pinned path. Pin another path to always switch to it.
  
• Fixed menu positioning.
  

1.8.5

Fixed regressions

• Fixed Menu Settings window positioning.
  
• Fixed Menu positioning after pressing Ctrl+Shift+Win+0.
  
• After enabling "AutoSwitch" option, the file dialog may have closed (#77).
  

1.8.6

Fixed

• The Menu displayed incorrect paths from Xyplorer after disabling the (show) locked tabs option on Settings > Theme tab.
  
• The Menu displayed system and special directories (e.g. Recycle Bin) that did not work.
  
• Some localized paths (depending on the system language) did not work (e.g. C:\Benutzer, C:\Användare, ...) (#98).
  

1.8.7

Scaling options on Settings > Theme tab

• Added the option to change the settings UI font and its size. The option also changes the size of all settings items. Now the UI adapt to the selected font and screen DPI: the larger the font (e.g. monospaced) or its size, the larger the UI elements will look.
  > [!Tip]
  > Increase the DPI and font size to singificantly increase the size of the UI elements.
  

• Added the option to change Menu font and its size.

  [!Caution]
  This option changes the font and its size for all menus in the system including:

  • context menu
    

  • status-bar menu at the top
    

  • tray menu
    

  • some tooltips
    

  • some message boxes and popups

    Fixed

• Wrong OS name in the Errors.log on Win11 (#98).

• Fixed the display of drop-down lists for selecting mouse buttons and special keys on the Settings > App tab after changing the screen DPI (#135).

• The Debug button no longer overlaps the settings tabs after changing the font to monospaced or when changing the screen DPI (#135).

• The active Explorer tab was not the first in the Menu on Windows 11.
