Your plugin is one of my favorites. The new interface is very nice!

Suggestions:
- It would be nice if I could use the "tab" button to automaticly change to the next page, because now I have get my mouse.
- On the DLL page: could the first branch of the tree be opened at default.
Now for example with Totalcmd.exe, the DLL page only shows totalcmd.exe and I have to click on it to see dependancies. It would be nice if the list would be show as default.

Question:
On the "options/info" page, the option box is empty. Is this correct ?

Crash:
Viewing "CGLPTNT.SYS" in the total commander dir: when going to DLL page, TC crashes (I'm using win98)

Disagree. "Tab" is used for switching between file panes.

Nice plugin, works at Win 98, even crashed at one file (I'll figure out which one it was).


Unfortunately the plugin refuses to install under WinNT (Sp6a).

Dependency Walker blames a missing function at KERNEL32.DLL (GetCPInfoExA) :(

That is true, but this doesn't mean when Lister is the active window the "tab" can't be used to switch between the different panels of the lister plugin (just as "tab" swithes panes in TC).
That analogy is just the reason why I suggested the "tab"

That means that in the Quick View "tab" will switch between Lister panels instead of switching between Commander panes.

I think "Space" is more convenient for that purpose.

Quickview, I didn't think of that. Greory is right: 'space' is should be.

to maxwish

for the moment, this version have just been tested under windows XP.
I'm waiting for bug report on others OS
It would be nice if I could use the "tab" button to automaticly change to the next page, because now I have get my mouse.
the use of tabulation is subject to controverse because
if I keep focus from TC you cannot pass from one file to another in quickview mode,
if I release focus for TC then you cannot use only keyboard to change the page.
this appear only in quickview mode

On the DLL page: could the first branch of the tree be opened at default.
Now for example with Totalcmd.exe, the DLL page only shows totalcmd.exe and I have to click on it to see dependancies. It would be nice if the list would be show as default.
I'm surprised because the first branch must be opened.
On the "options/info" page, the option box is empty. Is this correct ?
yes, it's for coming options, in particular for your first Suggestion


Viewing "CGLPTNT.SYS" on WinXP doesn't crash, I will test this on win98.

last request:
Could you make the 'Select all' and 'Copy' commands work in 'file properties' and 'image file header' ?

You can use STRG-TAB instead. By the way that works in all Windows applications that have more "tabs".

Thanks Za222, that's a good tip.

Had to search google to understand STRG-TAB is CTRL-TAB for English keyboards.
I think STRG is only used in Germany. What's it short for ?

STRG stands for "Steuerung"

Nice plugin.
One suggestion though.
Currently I see it works only for files containing version info.
I guess dll dependency and image file header can be shown for any exe/dll ?
That consistency of plugin response would be really usefull.
After all, computers crash, people die, relationships fall apart. The best we can do is breath and reboot.

love your plugin. thank you very much :D

fontsize is very small (at least at resolution 1280x1024).
can the fontsize be made selectable?

additionaly, gridlines or even better, a chart composed of
white and grey lines with the infotext on it would add to readability
