Plugin Manager for TC

petergus · Post by *petergus » 2003-11-12, 22:27 UTC

What I missing in TC is a fast way to se all my plugins and current status.

So I created a Plugin Manager(PM). It's a stand-alone program that show
all plugins in a treeview.

You see if a plugin is missing, you can quickly disable a plugin.
PM allows you to add, delete & change your plugins. To add a new, simply
drag and drop to main window, or drag plugin to programicon. PM detect
what type it is and show the right dialogbox, allowing you to change
detectstring(wlx), extension(wcx) & rootname (wfx).

No download yet, but here is a screenshot!

Green lights = plugin OK
Red lights = plugin missing
Yellow lights = plugin is disable (offline)

It will be released in a couple of weeks.

Looks nice.

What about additional files? I mean language files, dlls, inis - the files which are sometmies also needed to copy during installation of the plugin?

What about packer plugins which can be associated to many extensions?

What about...

You have to copy those files manually.

I have just tried, a packer plugin can only associated with one extension.
Or can you? How?

The iso plugin is an example that a packer plugin can be associated with multiple extensions. You just have to repeat the association process for every extension.

Lefteous,

The betatesters do. And I am sure that if they would be allowed to talk about the beta they'd say that there's nothing groundbreaking in the way TC 6.0 handles plugins.

Sorry, no plugin manager yet.

I'm thinking about a solution where people could download and install plugins directly from within Total Commander, but the project hasn't made much progress yet.
