several similar lister plugins

[vitalyki]

Having installed several wlx plugins for images (imagine, ImgView, mmedia), how can I view a graphic file with a one of my choice for this specific file? Or perhaps I could associate an extension like .avi with a specific plugin? Thanks

how can I view a graphic file with a one of my choice for this specific file

You can press "Options" -> "4" until the plugin of your choice is used. Often you can just press "4", but some plugins "steals" the keypress.

Or perhaps I could associate an extension like .avi with a specific plugin?

1. Click "Files" -> "Internal Associations (Total Commander Only)...".
2. Click the "Add" button.
3. Write *.avi and press OK.
4. in the Open field write:

Code: Select all

"%COMMANDER_PATH%\TOTALCMD.EXE" /S=L:Pmmedia "%1"

5. Click OK twice.

Now mmedia plugin wil be used to show .avi files when you press Enter or doubleclick them.

The mmedia in /S=L:Pmmedia is NOT the name of the plugin file, but the name that is shown in top of the Lister window, when the plugin is active.

You can also make TC show a list of different options for opening the file, when you right cllick the file. Let me know if you want to know how to do that.

many thanks, works fine. As for right-click, what appears in the menu is Open (which is the Windows association with the extension) or just name with extension and View (lister). Is that what you meant?

In fact, mmedia wlx being unable to display avi film (lacks vids:div3 decompressor) I added aviwcx.wcx and associated avi as you instructed with aviwcx. No response. Only mmedia is selected

Where can I find aviwcx.wcx - so I can test it?

If it is this: http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/avi.html
this: http://www.slunecnice.cz/sw/aviwcx-avi-extension-plugin/
or this: http://www.tckb.ru/wiki/AVIWCX

They are all packer plugins - not Lister plugins, and will therefore not work with lister.

the first of three - and you are right of course, my blunder

You can try to change the plugin order (via the lister plugin dialog box) or add a detect string to wincmd.ini, e.g. if the plugin has number four:

4_detect="MULTIMEDIA & ext="AVI" | force"
