Request for settings for WCX plugin

Post by *RedSkotina »

i write wcx plugin for totalcommander.
my plugin have some settings about how display content of archive
can i request change source of call ConfigurePacker ?

Code: Select all

ConfigurePacker gets called when the user clicks the Configure button from within "Pack files..." dialog box in Totalcmd.
void __stdcall ConfigurePacker (HWND Parent, HINSTANCE DllInstance);
probably best for me it is menu item "settings" by right click at root of archive when archive is open. like in wfx plugin.

Reason - users want dynamic change settings of concrete archive, not only global settings
P.S. probably better create new interface function for this target for backward compatibility
p.s. sor for 'google translate'

I think you can ask for additional options when user opens archive: every time or when it is opened and some key is pressed (e.g. Alt, Ctrl or Shift),

it is probably intersect with opening archives by ctrl+pgdown.
and required DYNAMIC change of view because users can switch between views.
exit from archive and opening him again it is boring and not user-friendly.
if wcx plugin can yet handle keyhandlers then it be best for plugin.
