I am using Artweaver graphic editor from here.
Lately it appears that Lister cannot handle *.awd files. Neither standard view nor thumbnails.
I've tried to use XnView and IrfanView assignment for lister but it is not working.
Both XV and IV shows these file types preview correctly. Even thumbnails for them works, but still... I can't see Artweaver's files' content in TC.
Where is the problem? Is it the matter of Lister or IV/XnV? Or maybe this is the proper AWD plugin issue?

TC only passes requests for a limited number of file types supported to IrfanView/XnView. But there is a way to extend the number of filetypes. In your wincmd.ini add/change
Code: Select all
Lister]
IViewAdditionalTypes=*.awd

It is working now. Thanks.
BTW Maybe it is time to switch to the other viewer? IV lacks for PNG support lately, has only quick view algorithms implemented and smaller extensions number handled (comparing to XnView). The only thing which keeps me with it is the speed... This would be solution for some torments but no one replied

PNGs are properly displayed in both IV 3.95 (from year 2004) and XnView 1.82.4 (from year 2006).
IV's help file lists PNG as supported format for opening and saving without the need for plugins.
Both tested with external started EXE of IV/XnView on Win2k SP4.

Aaargh... bad naming. I know about support but I have a lot of problems with PNGs created by Inkscape. These issue appeared for pictures with a lot of transparency for grayscaled elements (basically icons created and exported in Inkscape). Imagine plugin and XnView had displayed them correctly when Irfan didn't.
P.S. It is strange. I've wanted to prove that but I can't find this bug anymore. If I do I will put a link to them here.

By the way, IV has evolved to version 4.10 in the meantime. (It has now a simple 'paint' tool too via F12).
IV handles PNG fine, it knows transparency, but it doesn't handle layers, maybe that's the problem.
The full set (plugins included) can be found here :
http://www.samshuijzen.nl/sam/arch/basics/irfanview410.zip
with three updated plugins (4.11) :

According to the plugin-info of IV :
* AWD - (version 3.99): allows IrfanView to read Artweaver files
Awd.dll is part of the 'Formats' plugin set.
