About the new permission "SuperUser":
This permission is now requested to make Total Commander work better on rooted devices. It tells the SuperUser app that Total Commander supports root functions. It has no effect if your device is not rooted. Root functions allow Total Commander to write to system folders like /system or /data. You will be warned before anything is written if the partition is write protected.

Ratings and reviews

excellent, a bit of a learning curve, but if you've used two panel managers on laptop you should be able to figure it out

I had a DNG file that made all other file explorers crash, only Total Commander stayed strong and let me delete it.

1. Cannot hide columns (e.g., date, time, etc.) 2. Folder icons and text do not appear precisely aligned on the same horizontal line, making it confusing.
