It says it needs missing DLL file during automatic installation
According fileinfo it can be problem with "Misssing Functions in delay-load DLL) - mpr.dll
The one I use is ver.: 5.1.2600.2180

[VadiMGP]

I even have no idea what this dll for!
On my computer (XP SP1) this dll have version 5.1.2600.0.
I'll try to research what this damn dll does.

I think your problem with some other dll. Delay-load missing functions shouldn't be a problem until them actually called.
And plugin doesn't use any function from mpr.dll.
Do you see this dll in fileinfo at first level or nested under shell32.dll?

It is more looks like as incompatible with shell32.dll or (less probably) shlwapi.dll.

BTW, what OS you use?

ADDED: I've just got report about similar problem with TC7b2 on Windows 2000. But anyway plugin was installed and works now.

ADDED MORE: I have an updated info. Problem is seems somehow related to TC, because it happens during automatic installation only. During manual install it doesn't happens.

Wow ! a marvellous prog.
Could you implement Ctrl-B (flatten result of search independantly of dirs) ?
Anyway, thanks.

No, I didn't see any problem at the first level. The one I mentioned was at third level.
I use WinXp Pro S2 PL.

That's true, with manual installation there is no problem.
The problem is.... in pluginst.inf file:
file=FSE.WDX

BTW: In the same file there is info about 1.5 version and it should be 1.6 or 1.0.0.6

Could you implement Ctrl-B

This is one of planned but not implemented features. But I hope TC will itself support brunch view in FS-plugins.

If you go to Network Neighborhood and use Alt+Enter on FSE you get an error: "Exception in fsplugin. fsExecuteFile!"

Nice stuff, thanks! Waiting for Ctrl-B

[SanskritFritz]

How about having an option to make the searches permanent? That would be nice!

The problem is slashes in full file names. TC doesn't allows such names. I could implement this in unix manner so instead of c:\folder\file.txt you'll see c:/folder/file txt. Is it good enough?

Actually this is the reason why I mostly use search by method 4 (Alt+F7). Result list looks close enough to branch view.

I've never used Locate32 before. Now, thanks to your plugin I've installed it. It's a great tools, especially when using with your plugin. Thanks for it.

Yes, absolutely. For me even the plain filenames are enough, I just want to press ctrl-b and see the list of filenames, just as i would in the normal filesystem.
