TcBuild is a tool to build Total Commander plugins that are written in .NET
Install-Package TcBuild| Plugin | Total Commander name | Example |
|---|---|---|
| FileSystem Plugin | .wfx - plugin | TcPlugin.AzureBlob |
| Content Plugin | .wdx - plugin | comming soon |
| Lister Plugin | .wlx - plugin | comming soon |
| Packer Plugin | .wcx - plugin | comming soon |
See Total Commander plugin types.
Create a .NET Library Project targeting net472 or newer and install TcBuild nuget package.
The TcBuild nuget comes with some base classes and interfaces to get you started.
So you just have to create a class inheriting from
one of the following plugin base classes:
- ContentPlugin
- FsPlugin
- ListerPlugin
- PackerPlugin
- QuickSearchPlugin
Then override all methods that you like to support in your plugin.
The TcBuild nuget contains a MsBuild Task to perform all required transformations on your .dll
and it produces a .zip file, in build output folder, which can be installed with Total Commander auto installer.

The idea for .NET Total Commander plugins came from Oleg Yuvashev which wrote the original TC .NET Interface that runs on .NET 4.0 and is not that easy to get up and running.
So I (René Larch) used his code (it is Licesed as MIT) and wrote this Nuget with it.
| TcBuild | TC .NET Interface | |
|---|---|---|
| .NET Version | ✔️ .NET 4.7.2 | ❌.NET 1.0 & .NET 4.0 |
| Getting started | ✔️Install this Nuget | ❌Lots of work |
| Global Assembly Cache | ✔️-- | ❌It needs two dlls in GAC |
| AppDomain Isolation | ❌Not now, maybe I reimplement it later | ✔️Yes it load your Plugin in its own AppDomain |
