Как пользоваться программой Total Commander на Андроид

В современном мире всё чаще вместо компьютеров и ноутбуков в качестве основной рабочей станции используются смартфоны/планшеты на Андроид. Для этих целей в магазине Google Play размещается огромное разнообразие полезных инструментов, приложений, обеспечивающих работу со всеми типами файлов. Сегодня мы хотим поговорить о популярном файловом менеджере под названием Total Commander.

Наверняка, если вы ранее использовали данное приложение, то наиболее удобным режимом отображения информации являлся двухоконный. Данный режим позволяет отображать содержимое внутренней, системной памяти, а также карты памяти в двух независимых окнах, в точности, как и в полноценной версии для ПК.

При использовании смартфона, программа, по умолчанию, отображаются в вертикальном формате. То есть, для перехода ко второй панели достаточно будет сделать простой свайп от права края дисплея к центру.

Если использовать планшет, то программа автоматически переключится в горизонтальный режим и пользователю одновременно будут доступны обе панели. Посмотреть, как это выглядит можно на скриншоте ниже.

Для копирования/перемещения файлов с одной папки в другую, необходимо выполнить следующие действия. В левом окне находим папку с нужным нам файлом. В правом окне открываем ту папку, в которую хотим скопировать/переместить файл. Возвращаемся к левому окну, находим файл и нажимаем на его иконку. Она будет отмечена зелёной галочкой, после чего нажимаем на вторую иконку в нижней части экрана (с синей стрелкой). В появившемся окне будет указан путь, по которому будет скопирован/перемещён файл, выбираем [Копировать], либо [Переместить], в зависимости от необходимого нам действия. Начнётся процесс копирования/перемещения, после чего в правом окне появится ранее выбранный файл.

Для удаления файла (нескольких файлов) нужно сначала найти перейти в папку, где он находится, после чего отметить файл, нажав на иконку. Теперь необходимо нажать на четвертую снизу иконку (красный лист с крестиком) и в появившемся окне нажать [Да], подтвердив удаление выбранных файлов. Также удалить файл можно просто нажав на него и удерживания палец в течение нескольких секунд, дождаться появления контекстного окна, в котором нужно выбрать [Удалить].

Программа позволяет не только просматривать файлы текстовые файлы в формате .txt, но и редактировать их. Находим нужный файл и удерживаем на нём палец до появления контекстного меню, в котором нужно выбрать [Редактировать файл]. Текстовый документ будет открыт через встроенный редактор, либо вам будет предложены альтернативные варианты при их наличии.

Как и многие файловые менеджеры Total Commander позволяет просматривать архивы, создавать и извлекать их.

Первым делом нужно открыть папку, где располагаются файлы, которые вы хотите заархивировать. Выделяем файлы, отметив их галочками, после чего нажимаем на третью иконку снизу (жёлтый квадрат). В открывшемся окне можно выбрать путь, по которому будет сохранён архив, а также поменять его имя, после чего нажимаем на кнопку [Упаковать].

Допустим у вас есть файл с расширением .rar или .zip, вам необходимо узнать, что внутри архива. Для этого достаточно нажать на название файла, и программа отобразит всё содержимое архива.

Открываем папку в которой находится файл с расширением .zip или .rar. Нажимаем на название архива и попадем в него, вы увидите все файлы, которые содержатся в архиве. Отмечаем нужные нам файлы галочками, после чего нажимаем на кнопку «Копировать». В открывшемся окне указываем путь, куда будут извлечены файлы.

Одним из главных достоинств Total Commander перед другими файловыми менеджерами является встроенный инструмент поиска. Пользователи смогут выполнять поиск нужных им файлов не только по имени, но и по дате создания, размеру, тексту, а также приблизительному расположению. Сам поиск работает значительно быстрее нежели в аналогичных программах и вероятность нахождения потерянного файла гораздо выше.

Данный плагин позволяет отобразить все сторонние приложения, установленные пользователем собственноручно. Это в свою очередь откроет вам следующие возможности: удаление сразу нескольких приложений; открытие настроек приложения; создание резервных копий с сохранением на карту памяти; перемещение приложения на карту памяти.

Плагин, который позволит подключиться к вашим FTP-серверам. Для работы с данным плагином необходимо выполнить несколько простейших действий:
Нажимаем [Новое соединение], вводим его название и после указываем имя сервера, порт, имя пользователя и пароль. После чего произойдет подключение к серверу, и вы сможете просматривать все файлы, хранящиеся на нём и редактировать с помощью встроенных в файловый менеджер инструментов.

Плеер, встроенный в файловый менеджер позволит проигрывать все форматы, которые изначально поддерживает ОС Android. К плюсам стоит отнести наличие эквалайзера с заготовленными пресетами, а также усиление низких частот.

Если у вас есть права суперпользователя, то в настройках приложения можно активировать дополнительные функции. К примеру, вы сможете редактировать системные файлы, а также менять их разрешения (чтение, запись, удаление). Для активации ROOT-прав необходимо: открыть приложение – нажать на троеточие в правом верхнем углу — выбрать настройки и затем поставить галочку напротив пункта [функции root везде].

Total Commander является весьма функциональным файловым менеджером. Выглядит он не очень стильно, но масса возможностей и огромный набор инструментов делают его одним из лучших в своём роде.

If the target window lists the contents of a plugin, the selected files will be uploaded.

Rename

Allows to rename a single file in place: Hold down the finger/pen on a file until the context menu appears, then tap on «Rename».

Multi-Rename Tool

Allows to rename all selected files with powerful rename options:
— Create a numbered file list
— Convert to upper-/lowercase via placeholders, e.g. [U][N][L]
— Replace a string in the name with a different string
— Add current date/time to file name
— Keep only certain characters of the file name

The results are shown immediately in the result box below the rename options, before the files are renamed.

Name mask
With this field, you can create a definition for a new file name. The button [] allows to insert place holders for the previous name, parts of the name, a counter, or file date/time. The + button opens a list of older masks. Place holders are always in brackets [ ], while all other letters (without brackets) will be placed in the new name without a change.

See below for a description of all available placeholders!

Files can also be moved to other directories by specifying directory separators «/» (slashes) in the name. Directories which do not exist yet will be created automatically.

Ext.
Definition string for extension. In principle, all placeholders can be added to either of the two definition boxes. The rename tool will create a rename string like this: Fields in name mask + «.» + Fields in extension mask. The reason why the two fields are separated is to prevent the accidental removal of file extensions, which would remove the association of files with a certain program.

Search for & Replace with
The string entered in the field ‘Search for’ is replaced by the string in ‘Replace with’. The text in ‘search for’ is NOT case sensitive! Both fields support the placeholders (wildcards) * and ?. A * stands for any number of characters, a ? for exactly one character.
This function is applied AFTER the rename mask!
You can search+replace multiple strings in one step! The strings need to be separated by the vertical line (Button to the right of the field).

Example: Replace Umlauts+Accents:
Search for: д|ц|ь|й|и|к|а
Replace with: ae|oe|ue|e|e|e|a

Checkboxes:
^ Respect upper-/lowercase. Can be used to replace uppercase characters with other characters than lowercase.
1x Only replace the first occurrence of the search string if it appears multiple times in the file name
[E] Also replace the search text within the extension.
RegEx Use regular expressions.
Subst. Substitution: The entire file name will be replaced by the characters entered in the «Replace» field. If this option isn’t checked, only the found expression will be replaced. You can work with subexpressions, e.g. $1 first expression in (), $2 second expression etc.

Example: Replace Umlauts+Accents considering upper/lowercase (option ^):
Search for: д|ц|ь|й|и|к|а|Д|Ц|Ь|Й|И|К|А
Replace with: ae|oe|ue|e|e|e|a|AE|OE|UE|E|E|E|A

[. ] Button
Opens a menu with the following options:

Tries to undo the rename operation in reverse order (last renamed file first). This also works AFTER closing the Multi-Rename-Tool! Just re-open it with any file(s).

Sets the default settings (no changes to the names)

Allows to save the current settings

Deletes the last selected entry from the list
Entry names
Loads settings saved earlier

Shows a list of all files being renamed. The modified names are shown below the original names. All changes to the above fields are immediately shown in this column, but the files are not actually renamed until the Start! button is pressed. If the rename mask contains an error, the string is shown.

Individual items can be moved up/down with drag&drop of the icons. This is useful for changing the file order for the counter function.

START!
Starts to rename files. There will be a warning message if there are name conflicts.

Back button
Closes the dialog box without any further actions.

FTP Plugin

The ftp plugin allows to make connections to ftp servers.

Tap on to create a new connection. Then enter a connection name.
You can now specify server name and port, user, password, remote directory, commands to send on connect (separate multiple commands by a ;), server type, firewall, passive mode and file name encoding.

Connection name:
Tap on a connection name to connect. After connecting, the packer icon will change to a connection icon. Use this icon to change the transfer mode (binary, text or automatic), and to disconnect. Only a single connection is supported at the same time per panel.

Server type:
If your server isn’t detected, you can define a server type in Total Commander for Windows and import it into the Android version. To do this, open your wcx_ftp.ini, and look for a section like this:
[Unix1]
Template1=pppppppppp !S* TTT DDDDDDDD n*

Save this to a file called (in this example) Unix1.ini, transfer it to the SD-Card of your Android device, and then use the option «load detect string».

Firewall:
This opens another dialog for the configuration of your firewall. All firewall types of the desktop Total Commander are supported, except for the HTTP type. Leave the user name and password fields empty if your firewall doesn’t support them. The first type is the most common, so try this first.

LAN plugin

The LAN plugin allows to access often accessed servers in the LAN (local area network) via smb (Windows file sharing).

1. Tap on
2. Enter a name for the list, e.g. Server1
3. Enter the server name in the network

To be able to connect, you need a real LAN connection to your network (e.g. via WLAN).
