Content plug-in API: Passthrough bug (wrong unit)

[Lefteous]

TC forwards the value not in bytes in a certain case.

1. Add and activate a custom column config with the following columns
1st column: [=tc.Size.Mbytes]
2nd column [=dirsizecalc.Size]
The order matters!
2. Open an archive
3. TC will now show the value in the same units in both columns although the dirsiecalc column is configured to show bytes.

Conclusion: TC forwards the value in the unit which is used in a column before the plug-in column instead of bytes as documented in the plug-in SDK.


Thanks to petermad for finding the bug

Very strange. I will check that, thanks.

OK just one hint. If you try this with the latest beta of DirSizeCalc make sure to add this information to DirSizeCalc.ini (in same directory as Wincmd.ini) before installing the plug-in

Code: Select all

[General]
PassThroughValues=1

Otherwise the plug-in won't request passing through values at all.

I could reproduce this problem now (and fix it). The problem was that the "size" variable was converted in place to the needed size of the column. I just wasn't expecting that anyone would have multiple size columns...

Fixed in Total Commander 7.03. Thank you!
