How to locate the file in Windows 10 file explorer through TC (+ setting up Lister to display GIF and WEBP files)

[arko]

The following button will open Windows explorer with the current selected file or dir from TC

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
C:\Windows\explorer.exe
/select,"%P%N"
C:\Windows\explorer.exe
Selected file in Explorer
-1

That is useful! Do you know a flag to launch explorer in the regularly-sized window instead of maximized?

Looks like only the "Photos" app is redirected to "Windows Photo Viewer"

That's correct.

@Horst.Epp, I noticed today that the command to locate the file in Windows file explorer you posted at the beginning of this thread no longer works. Instead of opening the appropriate folder and highlighting the appropriate file, it just opens "This PC". Since I have no idea how this command works in the first place, I don't know why it stopped working, how to fix it, or even where would be the best place to search for the answer or ask the question. So I'm asking it here. Can you help?

This button works like a charm!

Please check, if you have this in the Parameters-field - especially if both quotation marks are present:

Code: Select all

/select,"%P%N"

Copy the full button and paste it onto your button bar.
It definitely still works in the latest Windows !

Ah, my apologies, I restarted my PC again, and now it works. I think I did try to restart it once, and it didn't work, but now it does. Maybe it had something to do with the first restart triggering Windows update, or maybe my memory just serves me wrong and I didn't try it after the restart. In any case, sorry to bother you!

I believe I've searched extensively, but it's awfully hard to find anything with 'heic quick view' (without the quotes).
This thread comes as close as I can find to enjoining heic and Ctrl-Q 'Quick View', so I'll try.

Is there any way that .heic files can be displayed in the adjacent Quick View panel?
I've had the Imagine plug-in (2003) crash TC lately. Maybe I should put it back in.

I'm trying to solve an iPhone's auto-uploading to OneDrive, synching back down to Win10 and viewing in TC. .Heic and .jpg files are both used by Apple, it seems, for no apparent technical reason, so heic needs to be addressed.

OneDrive, incidentally, and nicely, downloads a 'phantom' graphic file to Windows, bringing the whole file only when required - as iCloud/Apple do.

IrfanView can display .heic files in TC.
Also there are several tools available which add .heic support to Windows preview
which makes them available with TC using Explorer preview option.
For example CopyTrans Heic

If it works in Lister it should worl in QuickView.

"If it works in Lister it should work in QuickView."

That is what I expected, but it doesn't: if the cursor is on a HEIC file and I press F3, Irfanview starts and I can see the photo ; If I press Ctrl-Q, I see nothing useful .

Environment: W10, CopyTrans HEIC viewer installed, TC 10.52, IrfanView 4.62. Comments? More info needed?

Further to my post of Jan 10, I found a hint in viewtopic.php?p=354171#p354171 which put me on the right path. I edited the [Lister] section in Config.ini to include "IviewAdditionalTypes= *.heic" right after the other Iview statements and it worked; Ctrl-Q now displays HEIC files in the quick view window as well as under F3
FYI the section in the ini file looks like this:

[Lister]
LeftMargin=200
...
Multimedia=1
IView=1
IViewPath=C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view64.exe
IviewAdditionalTypes= *.heic
HTMLasText=0
LinkBraces=1
RTF=1
Wrap=0
ShrinkBitmap=1
