Bug confirmed
Open in new tab doesn't work

Currently, FC misses a function to use an existing WinRAR installation
like Total Commander does it.
This has the benefit that a user can simply select rar format while creating an archive.

All FC needs is the path to an installed WinRAR in its config
and the format selection.

The creation of RAR archives outside RAR software is forbidden by the RAR license.
Other file managers like Total commander interface with an installed WinRAR or RAR
to create new RAR archives.

The existing Ctrl+Right should be changed to point to the file in the other pane
and not just to the containing folder as it is now.

If you had redownloaded 951 the problem was solved.
It is also solved in version 952

Not confirmed.
This was already fixed with a re-download of version 951.
It works fine here since this.

That's a known problem and already fixed in the actual version
FreeCommander XE 2026 Build 951 64-bit non public

Fix confirmed

Problem confirmed
No focus on the input field without tab or click into it.

The TotalObserver TC packer plugin, is used to view all sort of archives
but not meant to be used in executing of any file typ.
So you have made some wrong assignment in your FC configuration.

,I don't see the point of compacting all folders as the opening initial presentation, thus requiring me to re-expand them again just as they last appeared in the previous program instance.

I would at least like the option of requesting this "keep expanded folders expanded on FCXE re-launch ...

The Total Commander plugin HTMLview does exactly what you want.
It works prefect in TC.
It's working as Lister plugin in FC but unfortunately the dir quick view is not showing thumbnails in FC.

Problem confirmed.
Shift-F4 doesn't show the configured entry.

Looks fine here

It's definitely there
