Total Commander (TC for short) is written in Delphi by Christian Ghisler from Switzerland. It’s originally called Windows Commander, but because Microsoft always says “Windows” was theirs (in 2002), it had to change to use its current name.

[v25.xx] XYplorer – Regarded as a simplified edition of Total Commander

File management is the most frequently used operation in daily computer use, but the functions of Windows built-in File Manager have always been very limited.

As everyone knows, the thumbnail function for file content can bring a lot convenience and efficiency improvement to our daily work. For example, to quickly find the one you want from a stack of files. But we also know a fact that Windows does provide the thumbnail function for files except pictures by default, especially for the files generated by many industry software (such as: AI, PSD, DDS, SKP, SGI, PDF…).
