Are you using any plugins? Which ones are essential?

I use some more plugins irregularly, but here are my essential must-haves:

wlx: Imagine, Syn2.1, Excellence, Office, OOHtmlViewer, HTMLView, GSwlx, PDF-Filter, ICL-View
wfx: SFTP (Ghisler), decClipboardFS, Envvar, Back2Life, TCBurner, UninstTC
wcx: Multiarc (7z, Inno, NSIS, Cab, ISO, Uharc, FreeArc,..), Imagine, GraphicsConverter, TotalResize, MakeBat, Ico, ICLRead, DiskDirExtended, MSI-Plus, InstallExporer, wcres
wdx (very rarely): Super_wdx, AudioInfo, Images.wdx, media.wdx, xPDFSearch

out of the line but most important:
QuickSearch eXtended

[Total Demander]

Hi. I'm a long-time user, and was so even at the time of the great Windows->Total rename.

Even so, I don't use any plugins. I guess that the un-enhanced TC meets my needs for a file explorer. Plus, I'm a Unix-trained command line pilot, so I usually do my fancy filework with utilities such as diff, wc, awk, etc. But those commands are kind of awkward to manage in TC, so I frequently switch over to Midnight Commander.

If there's a TC extension that provides more oomph to the Command Line, I'd love to know about it.

I did try the WebDav plugin once, but I don't think it worked. At least it didn't seem to add any features to the WinXP Web Places, or whatever it's called.

Plus many batch files, and AHK Scripts. And some other external tools.
