Good evening,

…Yes, I will consider to add a location string to wincmd.ini for tcmatch.dll.

• Well, but then, will you set also an entry (like we wrongly assumed prior) for the parameters flags announced
in the History.txt paragraph above mentioned ?

But only:

Code: Select all

8: allow empty result: longer search strings can return more results

would be useful for the wincmd.ini. The rest is only usefull for authors of a tcmatch.dll.

[ghisler(Author)]

Actually 8 is also mainly meant for authors: for example, a plugin which supports the OR operator would return more results with a longer string, e.g.
doc OR xls
would find more documents than just
doc

2Ghisler:

How can I use both Samuel and Shanny's tcmatch.dll together? Maybe should integrate their source code together and re-compiled a NEW dll.

[Samuel]

How exactly does this Chinese dll work?
What do you write, and what does it match?
how could it be used "google like"?

[ghisler(Author)]

For example, to find the Chinese characters 北京 for "Beijing", you type the first character of the transliteration of each character to Latin characters, which is a B and J. So typing BJ will jump to a file/dir named "Beijing".

Currently it's not possible to have more than one search plugin. Someone could write a search plugin which calls other search plugins, or combine existing search plugins into one if they are open source (mine is).

I just got this behavior by analyzing the code, when you explained it.


I adjusted my Google like Quicksearch to support PinYin. But the PinYin support is experimental. Couldnt create a Chinese folder on my German WinXP. So please Test and tell me if it works.

2Samuel:

It seems not work for PinYin but works if entered Chinese directly.

[Samuel]

Please report bugs there. I will look into it again.

I cant test because if I copy this: 北京
and paste it to TC Folder or Filename it only shows squares for me.

Edit: You know that you have to enable it?
-> "use_pinyin=1" in ini file

Pasting 北京 or typing them in QuickSearch works. But if you typing B and J not works.

BTW: Do you turn on then "Install files for East Asian languages" option in Windows Regional and Language setting?

[Samuel]

It was the "Install files for East Asian languages" option, that showed me squares. I wounder why Firefox can show Chinese and TC / Explorer cant...

I can now test it on my own. Thanks. I will report back later.

Edit: Can you give me some other sample files and their PinYin codes?

中国 Zhong Guo

我爱你 Wo Ai Ni

[Samuel]

Thanks!

Found the problem: Forgot a "-1".
All samples just work fine for me.

Fixed version online. Can you confirm that it works?

[Samuel]

Still not working.
W8 a sec .

I tried 1.21 and found a edge-effect:

typing INI, many files are displayed:

Icons\
Plugins\
WINCMD.INI
TCMATCH.INI
WCX_FTP.INI
lsplugin.ini
USERCMD.INI
DESCRIPT.ION
TCMADMIN.EXE
TCUNZLIB.DLL
TOTALCMD.INC
WCMICONS.DLL
WCMICONS.INC

I think the problem is in PinYinStringMatch function.
