Determine which WLX plugin is doing the heavy lifting

Post by *nn1k3 »

When I ^Q quick-view a file I want to know which of my WLX lister files is doing the rendering for me. It is not one always what one might think judging from the file extension and the names of the plugins and their order.

I can press 1,2,3,4 in the viewed panel to see various aspects of my file, but that doesn't tell me which WLX file is doing the work.

I can disable a plugin with TCPlugman - if the view is lost then that plugin was providing the rendering.

Having to DISABLE a plugin then ^Q testing can take time with many plugins. Can we restart TC vanilla (without any plugins) and then ENABLE one-by-one? Maybe I need two versions of wincmd.ini, with one just for testing. Advice is most welcome.

Yes, I see it now. - thanks. Very helpful.

I see "Lister (name of active plugin) - [path\filename]" in the header.
I see "Lister - [path\filename]" when Lister does not need a plugin
