How to view a file with a specific plugin

Post by *eugensyl »

Viewing files with different proper installed plugins it's possible cycle with '4'.

But how can I view a file in lister directly with a specific plugin - no others?

It's possible?
My Best Wishes,

If you want to test a plugin: it's possible, see the WDX/WLX Guide:

Otherwise you have to edit plugins' detect strings..

Or try if it's enough to put your "specific plugin" on top of others in the plugin list.

See Options > Plugins > WLX config > use the little arrows right down


If this is not enough i guess you have to modify the "detect strings" as Alex says.

BTW, i hate to use the '4' -key to switch through lister plugins
because i have a few editor-lister-plugins to switch through
and if i press '4' in an editor i modify the file. I have to use the mouse :( to choose 4 from the menu.
I would like to use an trigger like Ctrl+4
or an functions key like F12 for this issue.

Oh, found an work around: F10,o,4

Code: Select all

~F12::
If WinActive("ahk_class TLister")
{
  Send {F10}
  Send o
  Send 4
}
Return

...by using the external lister, creating one INI with according lister sections per plugin and calling that INI by parameter.

Also it works with internal lister if you edit the wincmd.ini lister sections – resp. their exports via RedirectSection – before calling the lister. After each update you have to call cm_UnloadPlugins.

Yes, that's very comfortable – you are right – and it works.

Rough answer : no if you only want to use TC !

One request i made was to have a listbox in the lister menu to directly acesss all the registered plugins : --> No real support for now

the external lister is the safiest way to do it wit some special editing. (it can be automated using some batch file or any automation prog !)

The easiest to use is wdx(wlx)_guide, you can add a button/user cmd .... to launch it with the selected file ! Click on the plugin you want and see ....

No need to unload plugin, no need to edit, ..... but not so fancy and do not integrate (tc internal lister)
