I've tried to download the program, all was OK. The thing is that this is a bad hosting, it is necessary to download from it with browser, not download manager. Try to use IE.
I've uploaded the file on my main hosting but it don't like to and from traffic abroad. Try to use this link, maybe it will work.

It worked last night, thx. I use Opera, no download managers.
Your hoster doesn't seem to like accesses from outside Russia, maybe some bandwidth limitation. Sometimes download of zip works, sometimes a html site is presented.
Very nice and probably unique program.
To make it perfect:
Add 'Load and edit old-lnk files' capability
Integrate in your lister plugin.
Anyway, even as a standalone application it will be very useful to me, thanks very much.

I use Opera too, but sometimes I cannot download files from narod.ru with it. But Internet Explorer makes it easyly almost anytime.
About the program: Load&Edit is the next feature that I want to add to the program. I just don't know how much time it will take so I placed on the site the first "half-working" variant of the program.
The integration with the plugin is a great idea! Thanks! I think, it is much better than making an additional plugin for editing
Fro example, someone right-clicks in the Lister window and choose "Edit" from context menu. And my program appears...

Well, Link Maker 1.1 is now ready! Unfortunately, I cannot upload it on my main host, so try to download the file from here: http://flint-inc.narod.ru/Products/MakeLink_1.1.zip
If there are any problems, try to use Internet Explorer with disabled all download managers!
In this version when someone opens a link file, all the dialog fields are filled in with the link data, so this can be named not as Link Maker, but as Link Editor
But I don't like to rename ready programs. Plugin integration is not ready now, but I hope it will come soon.
Enjoy!

On the holidays I've maked the next version of plugin/program - 1.2. Now one can right-click in Lister window to select "Edit..." from context menu and get the LinkEditor dialog (by the way, I've combined the plugin and the program into one project and called it LinkInfo - the plugin is LinkInfo and the program is LinkEditor). The program LinkEditor can receive command-line parameter - path to the file that it will open. And the button for selecting an icon is activated.

Thanks for a new version.
Some suggestions:
- If you press Context menu key on the keyboard - the "Edit" menu appears on the upper left corner of the screen (First time I had to look for it...
)
- It could show the current icon of the link.
- I don't like the Lister window for this plugin, I would prefer if it opened in the edit window by default - maybe option for it?
- If I view link for Outlook Express on my desktop I see in lister mode: Icon Number:-2, after going to Edit mode I see: Icon Number: 4294967294. Why?
- Wrap text in Lister doesn't work.

Yeah, I thought about it... But I've never worked with RichEdit before, so I don't know how to insert images in it... I'll try but it will not be soon.- It could show the current icon of the link.
That is when Lister window is opened it has already an Edit Link dialog opened? And add LinkInfo.ini into its folder... I didn't want to store any settings... Maybe, later. First I must find out how to use INI-files, maybe there are standard functions...- I don't like the Lister window for this plugin, I would prefer if it opened in the edit window by default - maybe option for it?
It is unexpected error. I didn't think that there are links with negative icon number. I'll correct it. By the way, when you press "Choose Icon" buton in this case, the plugin crashes- If I view link for Outlook Express on my desktop I see in lister mode: Icon Number:-2, after going to Edit mode I see: Icon Number: 4294967294. Why?


Ok, I'll try to make it. But not in 1.2.1- Wrap text in Lister doesn't work.

In the centre of the lister window?Flint wrote: By the way - where is it better to show menu? Where mouse pointer is? And if it is out of Lister window?
Yes, it is. It could also be viewed by default in the Edit window but with all all the fields disabled and after pressing a new button"Edit" - they could become enabled.Flint wrote:That is when Lister window is opened it has already an Edit Link dialog opened?

The settings could be alternatively saved in lsplugin.ini file I don't like the file but it's made for it.
Ok. Will be done. Maybe, where text cursor is...In the centre of the lister window?
I don't think it is a good idea, 'cause edit window has small edit boxes for all values, and it is inconveniently to see this strings by small parts. To edit links it is better to put LinkEditor in Start menu and assign a hotkey for it. F3 is viewer, and I try to make viewing of files more convenient. Opening both windows is possible, opening only Editor window for viewing is not correct.It could also be viewed by default in the Edit window but with all all the fields disabled and after pressing a new button"Edit" - they could become enabled.
I use Visual C++ 6.0. Really, it is better to use lsplugin.ini than to create my own INI-file.It's easy to use INI files in Delphi - I don't know which tool you use...

That's right... some strings are really long so users couldn't see them at once.Flint wrote:I don't think it is a good idea, 'cause edit window has small edit boxes for all values, and it is inconveniently to see this strings by small parts.It could also be viewed by default in the Edit window but with all all the fields disabled and after pressing a new button"Edit" - they could become enabled.
