WCX: Blat Mailer plugin

[tbeu]

Why would you need that if TC has built-in and external packer support?

[billiebub]

I was just thinking that you select the files to send from the panel, pack them to blat, and blat would zip them up then send them. Using TC's will require two steps, first compress them then send the compressed file to blat. I was just thinking doing it all in one shot. Don't worry about it.

Since I am not sure if it is possible to send the output of one packer as input of the next packer, I guess, a simple (batch) script placed in the button bar can also do it.

Hi,
I have a little problem with the button configuration.
My blat.ini file is located:
%COMMANDER_PATH%\user_ini\blat.ini
When I use packer (without the button) and I choose 'configure' I see own configuration data with all parameters and everything works fine.
However, when I tried to use the button with data, exactly:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wcx\Blat\blat64.exe
?%P%S64
%COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wcx\Blat\blat64.exe
Blat
%COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wcx\Blat\

-1

First appears the command line with the selected file, and then shows a blank window of Blat, without my configuration data. It looks like the button there is no link with blat.ini
I suspect that I need to change something in my TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA but I do not know what?

Below is an excerpt from the TC configuration file:

Code: Select all

[PackerPlugins]
blat=277,%COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wcx\Blat\blat.wcx

[tbeu]

If you call the packer directly (without button) then blat.exe is not involved. If you call blat.exe from a button then blat.exe needs to know the path of blat.ini which it passed to blat.wcx (by function PackSetDefaultParams). It checks the path for wincmd.ini in
1. HKCU\Software\Ghisler\Total Commander\IniFileName
2. HKLM\Software\Ghisler\Total Commander\IniFileName
3. %APPDATA%\GHISLER\wincmd.ini
and assumes that blat.ini is in the same directory as wincmd.ini. The plugin blat.wcx first checks if there is blat.ini in the same directory as blat.wcx and alternatively uses the passed path from above with %APPDATA%\GHISLER\blat.ini as fallback path.

So its strange why the plugin blat.wcx actually finds %COMMANDER_PATH%\user_ini\blat.ini if blat.exe does not find it.

In this location, I have also a TC config file.
I did the test, I replaced location for the blat.ini and I moved file from %COMMANDER_PATH%\user_ini\ to %COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wcx\Blat\
Button works, but this time "packer" doesn't work.

Button works, but this time "packer" doesn't work.

Did you restart TC?

There are current blat-versions from 2019. Any need for an update?

There are current blat-versions from 2019. Any need for an update?

For what reason ?

[Peter]

Basically for no special reason, just a question on the assumption "newer is (often) better"

But at the moment I tried to use it with a server which requires
- "activated TLS encryption" and
- Authentification yes (hosted Exchange Account)

and it does not work ..

Code: Select all

2021.05.31 17:01:52 (Mon): >>>putline>>> AUTH LOGIN
2021.05.31 17:01:57 (Mon): <<<getline<<< 504 5.7.4 Unrecognized authentication type
2021.05.31 17:01:57 (Mon): *** Warning ***  The SMTP server does not require AUTH LOGIN.
*** Warning ***  Are you sure server supports AUTH?

The documentation here http://www.blat.net/syntax does not use the word TLS .. - can blat used there?

The documentation here http://www.blat.net/syntax does not use the word TLS .. - can blat used there?

It's an old documentation, the newer one is here: http://www.blat.net/syntax/syntax.html
However, Blat seems to not support SSL/TLS. You should use some proxy/tunnel, for example stunnel. Read this topic:

You can ask questions on SourceForge forum, one of Blat maintainers is still present there: https://sourceforge.net/p/blat/discussion/
