Plugins ignored in QV due to comments in archives.

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Plugins ignored in QV due to comments in archives.

Post by *fenix_productions »

Hi all.

While in QuickView Total can show archive comments when they are available for archives. This works for built-in ZIP ones and packed readme.txt or *.nfo files. But it makes one thing incoonsistent from standard lister behaviour (F3) which is plugins handling.

If you add ArchView (or ArcView) plugins for archives they will work for F3 but be completely ignored for Ctrl+Q IF there is a comment available. In that case there is also no possibility to switch to it by pressing 4 key. For (ex.) ZIPs w/o comments everything works OK. Plugins order does not matter!

This is either bug or inconsistency.

IMHO TC should load plugin's view first if there is a match and comment otherwise.

Indeed archive comments have a higher priority than lister plugins at this time. Unfortuantely there is no way to set that priority, sorry. I don't currently see a good way to implement that either. :(

What about giving the possibility to switch to plugin by pressing 4?

This is strange that comment can be seen in "text plugin" (ex. SynUs) but other functionality does not work.

I will try that, although it just switches the view of the comment file...

Oh! I see. I thought about switching archive view to other plugin (not the comment).
