There are issues downloading the plugin from totalcmd.net:

Firefox refuses to initiate the download. The details show a warning message regarding an insecure connection (screenshot). The user can opt to download the file anyways.
I just downloaded using Firefox v. 93.0b3 without problems...

Yes, I have it set to Fit Window Option=3, but it appears to get not be applied in normal view mode.

It would still be better to move the IrfanView ini file there. Or you can register these two options and extension associations there yourself.
The IrfanView distribution comes with its own default INI file anyway. I just wanted to know, which INI file your plugin takes into account. I guess it is the INI file located in the folder with i_view32/64.exe, that makes the most sense.

On the contrary, I want to tell you the good news that I have learned to intercept keystrokes in IrfanView and now you can use IrfanView hotkeys during normal viewing. And the zoom window in the toolbar works. I'll test this new option a little more and post an update.
AkulaBig, that's good news, thank you very much. I'm looking forward to the next update of your plugin. :)

Hi petermad, thanks for checking.

I just retried downloading from totalcmd.net with Firefox v93.0b3 64-bit and I still get the security prompt. Let's not forget Opera (Chromium), which refuses to download at all and provides the user with no info on the issue.

EDIT:
I just reviewed how I connect to totalcmd.net. I usually use https://totalcmd.net as this was recommended in the past when there were connection issues with that site, and it worked fine despite it is not a secured connection. So I just tried good old http://totalcmd.net and the downloads are working fine again. It is still strange that I haven't had such issues before.

Hmm, I just dowloaded from https:/totalcmd.net in Crome, Edge and Opera under Windows 7.

In Chrome I have to right click the link and choose "Save link as...", and I get a message in the status line saying that the file is not downloaded safely, but if I click on ^ next to the message, I kan choose to keep the downloaded file anyway.

In Opera I have to right click on the link an choose "Save linked content as..." to start the download.

If I use http://totalcmd.net I only have to click on the link to start the download in Chrome and Opera.

Edge always start the download by simple click.

I have:

Code: Select all

109.237.110.23      totalcmd.net www.totalcmd.net
in my C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file - maybe that makes a difference (also I test under Windows 7)

EDIT When testing under Windows 10 I see that same for Edge and Chrome as under Windows 7 - and I don't have totalcmd.net in my hosts file under Windows 10

Yes, like I described above. You should notice that Opera won't finish the download, although you can access/extract the temporary placeholder in the download location, and for example extract the contents of a downloading archive.

Exactly what I witnessed, therefor I changed my totalcmd.net bookmark back to the http:// protocol.

Well, I don't use that edge case. :)

Exactly. The IrfanView ini files should be located in the program folder.

The updates are ready. I asked our guys to test it. I have an idea to assign the Tab and Ctrl+Q the reaction of the Lister TS. I will devote some time to this. Therefore, I will post the update later.

Bit depth selection still a problem.
(irfanview.ini options path=, path64=)

Got TC IrfanView plugin v1.1 to work. TC 10.0 is 64-bit. Currently IrfanView v4.58 32-bit and 64-bit are both installed here in separate directories. Irfanview.ini points to both original installation directories:

Code: Select all

[Options]
path=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\IrfanView\i_view32.exe
path64=%ProgramFiles%\IrfanView\i_view64.exe
Surprisingly, the 32-bit version is chosen. (Luckily, there is an About button on Irfanview's toolbar.) When I remove the line pointing at i_view32.exe, the plugin throws an error:

Code: Select all

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
Invalid application path!
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------
Obviously, the path64 option is not properly recognized.
Finally, I would like to know from which location the i_view{32|64}.ini file is taken, when the program does not reside in the plugin's directory structure (as in my case). Irfanview doesn't tell.

I can confirm this bug.
Again, can be fixed by change "path" to "path64" (unicode) at 0x19800 in IrfanView.wlx64

It is necessary to prescribe depending on the bit depth of the vehicle. In path= path for TC 32, in path64= path for TC 64. But you can also prescribe the path to irfan 32. This is how I have for a portable vehicle assembly:
[Options]
path=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCIrfanView\IrfanView\i_view32.exe
path64=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCIrfanView\IrfanView\i_view32.exe
;path 64=%SystemDrive%\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view64.exe
you can do this:
[Options]
path=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCIrfanView\IrfanView\i_view32.exe
path64=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCIrfanView\IrfanView\i_view32.exe
path 64=%SystemDrive%\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view64.exe
The first occurrence is read. And for the assembly on the disk:
[Options]
path=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCIrfanView\IrfanView\i_view32.exe
;path64=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCIrfanView\IrfanView\i_view32.exe
path 64=%SystemDrive%\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view64.exe

It is located where you placed it by the program settings. My plugin does not check for its presence

I have already added this feature to the plugin code. There is no point in performing your actions

Your plugin does not works this way.
