Now, the file panel is seen that there are some open files. In addition, when you attempt to re-open the editor or viewer for file that already open, previous window will appear.

In addition, to quickly switch between editor- and viewer-windows you can now use the Alt+TAB shortcut, that shows a list of all open editors:

Compare files on Mac OS X

Now you can compare text files in Mac OS X. For that the FileMerge utility (from the XCode) should be installed. Command "Compare files" from the "Tools" menu launches FileMerge to compare the selected file from the left pane to the selected file in the right pane.

Find file improvements

  • search for a file containing text
  • open file from the result list using F3
  • now search for text in the viewer just by pressing F3 and Shift-F3 again (search text is preset, no need to do Ctrl+F and re-enter text)

Working with Android-deveices via ADB

In the previous version trolCommander was added an opportunity to work with the file system of Android-devices This requires adb utility from the android-sdk package, the path to which must be added to the PATH environment variable. Now as an alternative thsi path can be specify in parameter ANDROID_HOME in configuration file env.properties.

For example on Mac OS X you can create file ~/Preferences/trolCommander/env.properties. In my case, the contents of this file is: 

ANDROID_HOME=/Users/trol/Bin/android-sdk
