In case anybody's wondering why this particular tool is news worthy, Total Commander is one of the few remaining orthodox file managers¹, a sub-genre whose origins date back to the original Norton Commander for DOS, decades ago.

I stopped using orthodox file managers when I switched to Linux and discovered the pleasures of a half-decent command-line shell. I knew people had made more such tools for Win16 and later Win32, but it's staggering to think that the orthodox file manager has (at least vaguely) survived into the smartphone era.

I thought it was worth submitting since I'm one of those people that can't use Windows at all if Total Commander is not installed.

I tried to find decent[1] file manager on Android, but didn't like anyone. TC works great here too, although it is more like "mainstream" than "orthodox" file managers in Android context.

[1] - By decent I mean the one I like. I tried different flavours of file managers, but noone stuck.
