TC U3 and IrfanView in Lister

[plawer]

Hello,

I'm running TC on my U3 USB-key and have also installed IrfanView on U3. I want to use IrfanView in the internal Lister. I've searched and cannot find an answer to what the launch path should look like in the setting. Can anyone help?

Regards

Maybe,

Code: Select all

%COMMANDER_DRIVE%\IrfanView\I_View32.exe

(if IView is installed in the \IrfanView folder).

It won't work.

The I_View32.exe is not present on the U3 USB-key. IrfanView is installed in \System\Apps\573c1d30-4ba7-11da-8cd6-0800200c9a66\IrfanView_400.u3p and the IrfanView_400.u3p is pretty much just a zip-file, where I_View32.exe is inside (as well as totalcmd.exe is present within totalcmd.u3p)

Code: Select all

"%U3_HOST_EXEC_PATH%\..\..\573c1d30-4ba7-11da-8cd6-0800200c9a66\Exec\i_view32.exe"

You must start IrfanView once from the U3 launchpad (unpack the exe to the local U3-Temppath) before you can use IrfanView as lister or for any bitmap extraction inside TC.
I didn't test this with IrfanView, but a similar solution works fine here as alternative <F4> editor.

HTH,

In other words, it's easier to install the PortableApps version of IrfanView on the U3 USB-key, and point Lister to that location, because then you won't have to launch IrfanView ahead.

That's right.
Alternately you can try to set the autostart-flag for U3-Version of IrfanView. But if you don't need the user interface of IrfanView, you are still forceded to close the window directly after autostart.

If you use the PortableApps Version of IrfanView together with TC-U3 installation, you should use

Code: Select all

%U3_DEVICE_PATH%

instead of

Code: Select all

%COMMANDER_DRIVE%
