TCNewPlus brings the PowerToys New+ template workflow to Total Commander: create new files and folders from a personal template collection, with date/time and environment variables substituted at creation time.

The plugin is a File System plugin (WFX) that exposes a read-only virtual file system under \\\TCNewPlus, listing your templates folder with the New+ naming rules already applied — sorting prefixes hidden and variables resolved. Copy an entry out with F5 and the new file or folder is created under the substituted name, with fresh timestamps: the Total Commander equivalent of the New+ Explorer context menu.

This is the first public release.

Features

  • Virtual templates folder at \\\TCNewPlus — open it from Network Neighborhood or with cd \\\TCNewPlus, then create from a template by copying it out (F5).
  • New+ filename rules at listing time — sorting prefixes (1. , 2 ) hidden, and variables substituted: $YYYY, $MM, $DD, $hh, $mm, $ss, $MMMM, $DDD, …, $PARENT_FOLDER_NAME, and %ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE% (full table in the README).
  • Optional variable expansion inside file contents — a TCNewPlus extension beyond New+ (which only substitutes in names), opt-in per file extension so binaries are never touched.
  • Real icons — each template shows its file-type shell icon; the plugin has its own icon in Network Neighborhood.
  • Shares the New+ collection — point it at %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\PowerToys\NewPlus\Templates to use one set of templates in both Explorer with PowerToys New+ and Total Commander.
  • Read-only by design and 32-bit + 64-bit Total Commander (.wfx / .wfx64).

Installation

Recommended — Total Commander auto-installer:

  1. Download TCNewPlus.v1.0.0.zip below.
  2. In Total Commander, navigate into the ZIP and press Enter.
  3. Confirm the install prompt (TC reads the bundled pluginst.inf).
  4. Open \\\TCNewPlus to verify.

Manual: Unzip into a persistent folder and add TCNewPlus.wfx (32-bit TC) or TCNewPlus.wfx64 (64-bit TC) under Configuration → Options → Plugins → File system plugins → Configure → Add.

Verifying the download

Each release ZIP has a detached GPG signature (TCNewPlus.v1.0.0.zip.asc):

gpg --keyserver keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys 489C5EC80FD62BE89E59B4F719C13E8CE0F5DB61
gpg --verify TCNewPlus.v1.0.0.zip.asc TCNewPlus.v1.0.0.zip

GPG should report Good signature from "Michal Růžička <ruzicka.mich@gmail.com>". The full key fingerprint is 489C 5EC8 0FD6 2BE8 9E59 B4F7 19C1 3E8C E0F5 DB61.

Builds are reproducible: rebuild from this tag and compare the ZIP's SHA-256 against the CI build log — see Reproducible Builds.
