And then there was Total Commander (once called Windows Commander) which was a godsend for those of us who lived through Norton Commander but had switched to Windows...
This was the route I took about 10 years ago, and I haven't looked back even once. There's a fairly steep learning curve, but it's helped by a large and experienced community. Tabs are about 0.05% what you gain over the standard Windows (10) File Explorer, but they are great. https://www.ghisler.com/
Are you sure you're router/modem didn't assign a new IP address to your fire TV? If I was you I'd check in the fire TV settings and see what the IP is. If that's not the problem Silk browser was released for gen3 want it? Just use it and download the apks. If you don't fancy that you could grab mixplorer for Android and start the ftp server built-in to it, and then grab Total Commander for fire TV, then use silk to grab the ftp plugin and install it, after that go into Total Commander and add a new server. Just don't forget to set password and login for ftp mixplorer server.
What are you asking here?
A file-manager that can do network-paths, with bookmarks of sorts?
Have a look at Total Commander ( https://www.ghisler.com/ )
Its been my go-to-tool for rapid file-management (and much more)
I've been using Total Commander ever since I've been using computers. Commander-like file explorers will always be your best choice. I personally couldn't use the default Explorer for anything other than mundane.
Viser indhold af to kataloger samtidigt da man jo tit kopier/flytter filer (src/dst). Det har katalog-historik og bookmarks, god søgefunktion og alle mulige andre gode ting. Jeg har brugt det i mindst 10 år.
Det er gratis at prøve (shareware)
This is also an option in the file manager program Total Commander. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, I've just been using the program for over 20 years and never shy about suggesting it to people. If the main program can't do it, there's probably a plugin that will add the ability.
the good old SFTP-Plugin...
it can be interesting for you too: A new version of the plugin has been released: File system extensions (plugins)
New in 2.90: Keep old target file (which would be overwritten) when download fails at the start
Total Commander has a file/multiple file mouse drag and drop function between two side by side windows. Download the Totalcmd-Drive plug-in for Google Drive support and there is one for OneDrive (https://www.ghisler.com/androidplugins/download/). Like most DeX file management, it is quirky (long press/short press/drag behaviour, etc) but does have wildcard file selection and once you get the hang of it, it is very efficient.
Nothing like a 'proper desktop OS' file management though and I have used a Linux emulator (UserLand) in the past for file management and websites needing a desktop compatible browser/in-browser PDF and flash support.
On windows total commander can set speeds for normal copy processes once you put them into background, that's a copy mode from that software, just try it :)
On linux I think rsync has a bandwidth flag
Total Commander not only has the best name, but it also a very good file manager that features an extremely capable rename tool with replacement, numbering, and even RegEx. I've been using it for years and years.
Alles was ich über FTP laufen lasse, geht bei mir über den TotalCommander. Das ist allerdings nur für Wartung und Entwicklung notwendig.
Wenn ich darüber dochmal was weitergegeben habe, bekommen die Empfänger ohnehin nur den Web-Link
Dateiweitergabe läuft bei mir heutzutage primär über meine NextCloud.
FTP im Broser hab ich seit jahren nicht genutzt, außer irgendeine DL seite hat tatsächlich noch einen FTP Link am Start.
You could try navigating to your userdata>addon_data>plugin.video.seren folder and delete your providers there and then reinstall the a4kscrapers. Not sure if it would work though as I haven't messed with Orion in ages.
If you're using Android you could use something like Total Commander to do it.
Visit https://kodi.wiki/view/Userdata to find the path your userdata folder.
Favourites.xml is in your userdata folder. If you're on Android then navigate to it with something like Total Commander and copy it, then place it back in once you've installed fresh.
Visit https://kodi.wiki/view/Userdata for the path to your 'userdata' folder.
I don't know why everyone was so excited about ES file Manager! When I got my shield I searched different sites and
forums and ES File Manager was the MUST HAVE on all of them. At that moment I installed it, but started discovering
other software alongside as well and my favorite has become Total Commander <strong>https://www.ghisler.com/android.htm</strong>
I have also Mixplorer and X-Plor installed. But I only use Total Commander!
For file renaming (and many other file managing tasks) on Windows i would recommend Total Commander. Select files, (if they're in multiple folders, with Ctrl + B you can list children folders' contents), hit Ctrl + M, there's a "Replace" field, type in what you want to get rid of, hit go.
But!
You're talking about scrobbling, which should submit data from the tags - unless you're scrobbling with untagged files?
You can tell if you look at the file properties in foobar (right click on song) and artist, title etc is empty.
I'll detail tagging if that's needed.
> 1) How do I install APK file of the game I own? For example I tried GTA III which I own. I used APK Extractor to get APK file from my phone. Installed it on OGO and adb reported that game is installed. It didn't work. Do I need to do anything with APK file before I try to install it? Is file protected from copying? I am thinking I probably have to sign it somehow.
You don't need to sign it. What happens when you try to run it?
> 2) I installed GTA III. In Oculus TV game shows as square, in Unknown Sources. There is no name under box (where thumbnail should be). How can I uninstall this? Doesn't even have name? Is there any app that can do uninstalls?
It's just adb uninstall packagename
The package name is distinct from the APK name, which for GTA III is com.rockstar.gta3, so it would be adb uninstall com.rockstar.gta3
There are a number of ways to find out the package name. Here are a some of the easier methods:
- it's in the Play Store URL: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rockstar.gta3&hl=en
- you can get a list of all the packages you have installed like this: adb shell pm list packages -3
- you can try installing the APK again which will produce an error like the following (which will include the package name): Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS: Attempt to re-install com.rockstar.gta3 without first uninstalling.] (so long as you're not using the -r option with the install command which will replace the existing install)
Or, sure, you can sideload an app that has APK management capabilities. There are lots to choose from. I'm partial to Total Commander.
Don't be afraid of ADB. You don't need root (which we don't have anyway), and without root you can't really mess anything up that a factory reset wouldn't fix. And that's not to say that it's even all that easy to accidentally mess up in a way that would require a factory reset. And there are are numerous advantages:
- the ability to sideload VR apps that aren't distributed on the Oculus store
- the ability to sideload standard Android apps that you can then run a virtual screen inside Oculus TV
- the ability to increase the Go's rendering resolution for enhanced clarity in third-party apps
- the ability to pair certain bluetooth peripherals that are impossible to pair via the standard pairing function
- the ability to fix problems like the one you're encountering ;)
- a bunch of other stuff
If you're even remotely tech savvy, or are willing to become so, I would encourage you to run in developer mode and get ADB working so you can get more out of your Go experience.
Try this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusGo/wiki/sideloading
Then you'll be able to bring up the Android settings panel to see if the underlying Android OS thinks Trains VR is installed or not (and if so you can do a clear data operation and uninstall it to start fresh), or you could install an app like Total Commander (or whatever) that has it's own APK management tools and run it inside Oculus TV to see if you can deal with the problem that way.
You can feel free to ask questions if you have any trouble getting started :)
I usually use Total Commander to move files between harddrives. If the harddrive is in tact that is. Remember to run as admin and check show view hidden files in Display tab. Are you able to mount two harddrives at once while booting windows on different working drive?
Total Commander with the EXIF plugin can do this.
https://www.ghisler.com/dplugins.htm - search for "EXIF" and you will find the EXIF 2.6 plugin. After that you use this plugin to mass rename your files.
I would use either RoboCopy or Total Commander to copy/sync large amounts of files and not recommend using the default Windows file explorer.
Robocopy is run via the Command Prompt.
robocopy {source directory} {target directory} /e /r:1 /v
the e says copy everything, r:1 means retry 1x if an error occurs, v means verbose so you can see what it's doing.
Total Commander is an app.
Total Commander, an orthodox file manager by Christian Ghisler. I believe it was originally written in Pascal, before transitioning to Delphi.
I have used Total Commander since it was called Windows Commander, all the way back to Windows 3.1 on a 486. It is the oldest software I'm using (for nearly 30 years now) that's still being developed.
He also has a version for Android devices that I also use.
Setup side loading using SideQuest.
Then you can use the SideQuest app to sideload the android version of Total Commander file manager.
https://www.ghisler.com/android.htm
With that you can search for files ending in mp4, mov, mkv, etc
Für den Total Commander gäbs ein Plugin:
>Erweitertes Diskettenimage-Plugin (diskimage, rawread usw.): Erzeugen von IMG-Dateien (verschiedene Grössen, wählbar via "Konfigurieren"-Button), Extrahieren, Hinzufügen und Löschen von Dateien. Unterstützt lange Dateinamen. Kann mehr als IMG(1), aber Quelltext nicht verfügbar.
Aber nur 32-Bit so dass ich es nicht bei meinem testen kann.
Pros: tons of plugin support, much better search functions, dual panes, built in FTP client (with TLS support!), HTTP support, archive navigation, file comparisons (MD5 hash is default I believe), in window previews, robust renaming tools, file history and changes.
Cons: Shareware which means after a month the free license expires (but if you purchase a license it's lifetime not just for that version), kind of clunky interface with it's very early 2000's look, very slow on networking connections, tons of time to "fine tune" it.
The website for Total Commander is where you can purchase a license. I used it when I was on Windows but a good Linux alternative would be Dolphin I think.
Interesting, but not quite what I meant. I'm looking for old websites that are not abandoned, but that are still actively maintained, yet remain "true" to their original design. Here is another good example: https://www.ghisler.com/, a website about a Windows program that offers downloads all the way from Windows 3.1 to Windows 10.
https://www.ghisler.com/featurel.htm
https://freecommander.com/en/summary/
https://www.slant.co/versus/8595/8596/\~total-commander\_vs\_freecommander
A lot of info there, also, FreeCommander is free for the 32bit version, the 64bit is paid.
Your needs are not the same as other people's needs so you'd probably better off trying both, Total Commander offers a free trial.
SkyBox can mount SMB for playback but doesn't have a file manager to delete.
I have AndSMB sideloaded onto my headset for doing any SMB file management.
http://www.lysesoft.com/products/andsmb/index.html
Total Commander is also a good thing to sideload for file management. It can do APK installs and other app management that's missing in the Quest UI. It has an SMB plugin but TC plugins don't work with the Quest.
https://www.ghisler.com/android.htm
Just a reminder that in general sideloading generic Android apps is a bad idea.
Old and simple utility apps like these should be OK.
There is a solution for Windows, a plugin for Total Commander. It is quite old, 2012, but it works quite well with ADF and partially HDF. I would like to find a solution for full-fledged work with HDF, as with an archive, or if someone would modify this plugin so that you can open this container of any size as an archive.
Link to the plugin author's page http://www.coderbug.rs/projects/amigadx
And a plugin repository for Total Commander https://www.ghisler.com/plugins.htm
No, but if you can get a PC or Mac with sidequest (or adb) installed just once, install a file manager app like Total Commander (https://www.ghisler.com/android.htm#download) Astro onto your Quest. After that, you'll be able to download apk files via the Oculus browser and install them without needing a computer. Many of the Sidequest game files are actually hosted on Itch.io, so you can download them there as well.
Total Commander works with a keyboard with limited issues (sometimes the f. selection bar goes out of the screen -> solution keep TAB pressed till it find its way back). Great also for home network file transport between different platforms as it got tons of plugins.
Interesting! I wonder if it can be made into a plug-in for Total Commander instead of the venerable FileInfo plugin (though it still works fine most of the time). Unfortunately, I absolutely lack time for side projects right now because of the new dog.
Total Commander: https://www.ghisler.com/download.htm
Plugin: https://totalcmd.net/plugring/gaup.html
Note that you have to pay to use Total Commander for longer than 30 days. Also, get the 32-bit version as the plugin isn't compatible with the 64-bit version.
There's no way Notepad++ can handle a 60gb file. At those sizes you need purpose built read-only file readers (like lister) in you are running Windows.
emeditor will work but it costs $180. It uses a specific method for files over 300mb where it uses temporary files instead of RAM and disables a lot of features. And emeditor has a 'stop' button when opening large files since it takes a really long time.
Thank you for your answers.
The user with NAS access rights is needed even if you use a QNAP (I'm referring to what's written here).
The router shouldn't be the issue, because it's capable of transferring large quantity of data. There must be something interfering. I'll list some things you can try:
- Do you have an antivirus besides Windows Defender? If yes, what happens when you disable it? (some have solved like this)
- Transfer files via a dedicated tool (e.g., TotalCommander). It manages large data transfers differently from Windows, making sure that there is no inactivity signals to the OS.
- Disable any energy saving setting in your LAN ports (it's in the Network Settings)
Podes usar powershell (tiene autocomplete) o podes copiar la ruta donde quieras y pegarla con el click derecho del mouse si la tenes en el clipboard (no me sale la palabra en castellano)
​
> Por ejemplo, me gustaría hacer "copy blablablabla", ir al directorio de destino, tipear "paste" o algo así, y que se copien los archivos que indiqué antes. Se puede hacer algo así
Si, pero en ventanadas, se llama cortar y pegar... Porque no queres hacerlo por visor?
Si tenes MUCHAS GANAS probate total commander que te abre 2 "consolitas" pegadas una al lado de la otra, navegas origen en una, destino en la otra y te deja copiar con f5 (si no recuerdo mal)
People have been complaining about Explorer from the start, mostly due to it's single pane; Two being needed to easily transfer files. Most have started using or going over to Total Commander for that ability.
We were used to send files to our partners, customers by email, but the bigger those files are, it was getting a problem, now (all done with ahk .. in appr. 15 hours programing effort)
- with marked files in totalcommander (is an amazing tool, https://www.ghisler.com/)
- we generate an encrypted-named zip file (encrypted .. no reengineering possible so guessing other links is impossible)
- we upload those zip-package to an external https-server (controlled by us) via ftp
- create a text in clipbord with a list of all files, an expiration date of that link and the link itself for our partner, customer to download -- this can be copied into an email e.g.
- delete expired files - those data are stored in a local log-file - from https-server (e.g. 30 days later)
therewith our company email-base stays on a reasonable dimensions, everything is documented and it works comfortably for our staff and our partner/customers.
I programmed a similar solution with dropbox and bitly-links before (now own https-links and self encrypted), but not all of our partners/customers were allowed to open those (probaly insecure) links because of their security polcies.
​
J.B.
I do not have a teamdrive, so I cannot check.
I always use my Gdrive from Total-Commander with the Cloud-plugin https://www.ghisler.com/plugins.htm#filesys (but read the comment at the bottom "Note: This plugin uses Internet Explorer to login. If you have troubles logging in, try the plugin with integrated Chromium browser (15 MB!).") I think it can access team-drives as well. I still use it because of its reliability, long history and ability to sync trees/folders. Maybe someone with a Team-drive can try and confirm. You'll need Wine.
On a real chromebook I can share my Gdrive into Linux and access it from the Crostini linux-container. So I can store musescore files in my gdrive, for example. I'd like to know if this is possible with teamdrives as well.
On cloudready I cannot share Gdrives into Linux yet, but I can access them from files and copy etc. I use Wine with total-commander+plugin there as well.
Hope this helps.
I don't know why they did choose that confusing version number. The patch is definitely newer than the 1.4 one and the changes 1.4 made, are even included in it. 1.4 was named unofficial though since it was a community patch, so it might be that the 1.2 should add a more official flair to that patch.
Did you right-click on the .exe, go to Properties/Compatibility and select Run as Administrator and Compatibility to Windows XP SP 3? Like it is recommended for installing anything FL related? A further problem might be that, beginning with Win 7, the games folder is especially protected and therefore it's often easier to install the game to another folder like c:\Freelancer or whatever. Problems with the folder protection can alternatively be solved with Total Commander from www.ghisler.com, a file commander that offers to switch to Admin mode.
Sounds like you want a third party file manager.
That being said, if by folder preferences, you mean the file view options, those are easily changed on the keyboard with CTRL+SHIFT+# (1-6). 1 is Extra large tiles, 5 is list, 6 is details, and the others are the ones in between, but I never use them. I'm always switching between them so this is just something I do all the time.
I don't really like any third party file managers. My father used Directory Opus on the Amiga years ago, but that one isn't free, it's like $80 a year (or major version). Many are free. A lot of them use the two-pane style that was present in the old Windows 3.1 file manager and later developed and perfected by others. Many have tabs, too. Total Commander is the most popular of these, but there are free clones. XYplorer is another.
Might be a better question for /r/software though, if you want to go third party.
Backup the settings.xml file from script.module.resolveurl in your addon_data folder. Place it back in afterwards. I would just stop using builds personally and install only the addons you need and would use. You could then backup your whole install by just copying the .kodi folder.
​
Visit https://kodi.wiki/view/Userdata to find your userdata folder which is where the addon_data folder resides. If you are on android, then use something like Total Commander to navigate to it.
Total Commander. Yeah, it is a file manager and yeah it wont be too intuitive from a first look, but give it a chance, it is very powerful and very fast (also very low on resources, on Windows 10 the 32bit version uses less than a third of the resources the Calculator uses, although that says more about Calculator than Total Commander :-P).
I recommend to install it and go through the help file (note that it is a program with a very long development history so there might be a few dated references in there :-P).
Great file manager Total Commander Screenshots It has tabs like Firefox, to search: Alt+F7 if you want a background search while you use TC to browse files Shift+Alt+F7; in case you're from the DOS era, it's the Windows version of Norton Commander
I used ADB to install Total Commander (https://www.ghisler.com/android.htm), which can install APK's on the Quest. Then I set up a local web browser with a vr directory and a very simple index.html with the name of my app. Every time I build my app, I put it in the VR directory. I use the Quest browser to go to my local page and click on the link, which downloads the APK to the Quest. Then I use Total Commander to navigate to the download directory and install the app. Total Commander has to be run from within Oculus TV. The app you install has to be run from the Library, in the Unknown Sources section. It makes for a relatively rapid build & deploy cycle. I have a magnetic USB adapter on my quest so I don't have to keep plugging it in and using ADB to push the app.
Total Commander (jetzt mit link) hab ich auch jahrelang kostenlos genutzt. Beim Start muss man dann zwar die "kauf mich doch bitte"-Nachricht wegklicken, aber ansonsten hat man keine Einschränkung. Das hab ich nach dem Booten ein mal gemacht und dann das Programm nie beendet.
irgendwann hab ich mir gedacht: "Jetzt hast das Teil schon so oft benutzt, da kannst dem Entwickler auch die 20€ dafür geben"
thank you for the warning March 6, 2019: Total Commander 9.22 release candidate 2 is now available for download. This version mainly patches a security hole in unacev2.dll used for unpacking ACE archives. See the newsletter for a download link.
As others have said you won't be finding a lot of NVME-over-USB type of stuff since it's PCIE but SATA should do you fine and it indeed works over USB-C in my phone and laptop though my setup/needs are different.
This is what I use:
M.2 Drive: SanDisk X400 M.2 2280 128GB (SATA) (random one on ebay I got for like $40 back in 2017 or so)
M.2 Enclosure: StarTech SM21BMU31C3 M.2 SSD Enclosure for M.2 SATA SSDs - USB 3.1 (10Gbps)
I run a portable Arch Linux install on it alongside a 64GB exFAT partition(so that it can be read from Windows, Linux, and OSX)
When I plug it into my phone(Essential PH-1) it detects it fine and gives me all the options to format for use and my usual apps all try to poke in and mount it but don't know what to do with my "weird" linux+exFAT partitions.
I had to install additional apps to be able to poke through the exFAT file system since apps like ES File Explorer only supports FAT32 and NTFS and Total Commander requires payment but has a 30 day trial that seems to work pretty well from my quick install just now.
​
Either way though the enclosure I mentioned seems to work totally fine for phones and laptops and I just-recently assembled one for my father with similar specs. You get a great trade-off of being very fast, very small, and very configurable.

I suggest Total Commander apk, not that ES File explorer crap. I set up shortcuts too.
Protip: Total Commander is a dual-window file manager that has a simple extension to handle 7z and other odd zip formats (.gz, .bin, etc). It's markedly faster than any GUI-based file manager, including File Explorer, and has all kinds of features for advanced file operations.
Edit: Here's the site.
I have used Total Commander for over 20 years now. Sure it isn't the prettiest bit of software by todays standards but it is crazy functional and powerful. It takes a little while to get used to (unless you are used to using such managers from the DOS days!) but it is well worth it if you are more of a "power" user.
Total Commander works for sure in Windows PE. You could just put it on the root of the USB drive, navigate to the folder you put it in with command prompt and run it directly. Depending on the architecture of the PE environment, you may need the 32-bit or 64-bit version of it, so I recommend just putting both on the USB.
You can download it from here: https://www.ghisler.com/
