TC 8: Plugin file extension

tbeu · Post by *tbeu » 2011-09-23, 06:37 UTC

If a 32-bit plugin is called <plugin>.<ext> where <ext> can be different from wcx, wdx, wlx or wfx, does TC 8 64-bit look for a 64-bit plugin called <plugin>.<ext64> by just appending the 64 regardless of the extension?

It works even for extension DLL:

Code: Select all

[ContentPlugins]
4=D:\TOTALCMD\Plugins\Content\Autorun\Modules\TCFS2Tools.dll
[ContentPlugins64]
4=1

TCx32 loads here installed module TCFS2Tools.dll, TCx64 loads module TCFS2Tools.dll64.

But keep in mind that if you already have installed a bunch of 32-bit plugins, TCx64 won't load their 64-bit analogs automatically. Details here.

OK, this way combined plugins get properly loaded.

It does, but only when the plugin is installed - either automatically when you open the archive, or via configuration dialog. It doesn't look for the file when the plugin files are just copied to the plugin directory.
