[BUG?] Redirected sections and multiple purpose plugins

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

[BUG?] Redirected sections and multiple purpose plugins

Post by *roentgen »

From the plugin's readme:
NTFS Stream 1.0 Plugin for Total Commander
Copyright © 2005 by Tir Na Nog, All right reserved.
WWW: http://tirna.narod.ru
E-Mail: mailto:tirna@narod.ru
The above plugin, although is a .wdx one, also has a packing function, and upon installation adds the following lines in wincmd.ini:

Code: Select all

[PackerPlugins]
stream=463,C:\Program Files\Totalcmd7\plugins\wdx\streams\streams.wdx
[ContentPlugins]
23=%COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wdx\streams\streams.wdx
I've redirected those two sections ([PackerPlugins] and [ContentPlugins]) but the line for [PackerPlugins] doesn't get redirected and also this plugin doesn't react to the PluginBaseDir setting in wincmd.ini (%COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins)

This may be only plugin's fault, but who knows... and I don't recall any other plugin with such multiple purposes, for testing.
TC for Linux please!

The TC plugin installer can only add one plugin type at a time. I guess that the plugin tries to add itself to the other section. The plugin doesn't know about redirection, so it adds itself to the not redirected section.
