As you previously mentioned, getting permission from all application developers to include in a bundled download is a high price to pay.
But if TCUP get's these application (with automatic updates and portable file association) from LiberKey, maybe requesting LiberKey to create a TCUP bundle alongside the Basic/Expert/Ultimate packs they already have would make it easier for TCUP to be maintained, and will expose more users to LiberKey - a win-win situation for both sides.
It would require Ultima to "let go" of certain aspects of his software and to cooperate with another group, but it would create a better TCUP product.
As you can see I am a big fan for co-operation of software.

Next TC version will offer "internal associations" system which allows to specify your own files types handling within Total Commander window. I doubt any other software has it implemented in such wide way as TC.
I've actually upgraded a week ago to the latest TCUP which includes TC7.50pb8 and it reminds me why I like TC and TCUP so much (I am proud paying customer of TC, and can't see myself work without it).
This version has a lot of enhancements I like.
As to the file associations - that's a good idea, but the difference with an "internal association" scheme - and a temporary system wide "scheme" is still far-and-wide.
Making TC or TCUP totally portable, means that when the portable environment is plugged in, it should be associated, but when plugged out - the system should not be affected.
This is exactly what LiberKey does very-very good.
TCUP is the best bundle for file and system management, and LiberKey does a fantastic job in portabilization ( if such a word exists
)in term of system integration (temporary) and update management.Merging these two together will create a very powerful mix of software.
Thanks for dialogue
