[Sir_SiLvA]

Are you sure?

Ups, that 0 in the adress should be a B. fixed my post.

Oh, you don't have to do it the hard way. I was planning to encorporate various stuff in the next update, BUT the 32/64 combined package is already there, you simply have to recompile the latest source from Github.

Even better, I can do that

This combined version crashes in the 32bit TC.

Try to open MD file and .... dump. Cant' create WebView2. Code 203
Doesn't matter to me - why can't we continue further work, but generate a dump?
Falling down and dragging Total with itself?

IMHO IF - the real reason of this fall - is that on my system there is no INSTALLED edge - for such
"portable" cases you can imho easily provide version of your plugin which will have ALL essential dlls in some special subfolder
among all other installed staff. Thus if plugin could not detect installed version of WebView2 - it can use portable version...

And why DETECT-string is so strange???
EXT=""|EXT=""|EXT=""

Tested with x64 TC
No problems here viewing .md files.
The Detect string is a normal TC Detect string definition.

Normal? 3 times identical empty string????

"No problems here viewing .md files."
pls, pay attention on the 1 moment - do you have installed Edge browser?
I dont' have

For me there are no emtpy detect strings, it looks like this
5=%COMMANDER_PATH%\PLUGINS\EdgeViewer\EdgeViewer.wlx
5_detect="EXT="HTM"|EXT="HTML"|EXT="XML"|EXT="MD"|EXT="MARKDOWN"|EXT="ADOC"|EXT="ASCIIDOC""

Ok, I have MS Edge installed because for me its better than Google or Firefox.
For an viewer named EdgeViewer I guess most users will see this as a prerequisite

Windows 10 Version 22H2 (Build 19045.2130) (64-Bit)
Edge Version 107.0.1418.35 (Offizielles Build) (64-Bit)
Total Commander Version 10.52 (32-Bit)
HTMLView works fine while EdgeViewer.wlx crashes -> https://imgur.com/a/NZtDuSK

even with this new Version the 32bit one still crashes.
64bit version seems to do fine BUT
PLEASE PLEASE enabled all the default lister keyboard shortcuts....
Second: why EBWebView is still not in the Plugin-Folder but TCs? thats the worst place to put files....
(same goes for edgeviewer.ini btw)

I tried to install the 32bit version in 32bit TC 10.52 and get the error message:"This is not a valid plugin"

I don't get such a message when installing the 64bit version in TC (x64) 10.52.

I tried to put the wincmd.ini parameters:

Code: Select all

37=%COMMANDER_PATH%\PLUGINS\wlx\EdgeViewer\EdgeViewer.wlx
37_detect="EXT="HTM"|EXT="HTML"|EXT="XML"|EXT="MD"|EXT="MARKDOWN"|EXT="ADOC"|EXT="ASCIIDOC""

from the 64bit version in my wincmd.ini file for the 32bit version - but then I get this error message when I try to view an html file:

Crash in plugin Edgeviewer.wlxListLoadW:
Access violation at address 6D766870. Read of address 6D766870

I have tried installing both wlx-edge-viewer-v1.0.0-32bit.zip and edgeviewer-Release-20221107.zip - same problem.

Tested with Windows 10 22H2 build 19045.2130

Hi all,

- I will do my best to investigate the issues mentioned here when I have the time (hopefully will do something within the next 1-2 weeks -- I am a bit busy, sorry).
- Yes, I understand this common dissatisfaction with me using TC folder even though it is the right way to do according to the docs. I'll fix that.
- The situation is much harder to investigate with 32-bit OSes esp. without Edge. AFAIK you only need "Edge runtime" (linked at the Github page), not Edge itself. I don't have any 32 bit machines at hand, but at least I will try to add diagnostics and prevent crashes.

Will post any updates here, stay tuned.

The situation is much harder to investigate with 32-bit OS

Just to make it clear: when I write here above that the 32bit version of the plugin crashes, then that is on Win 10 64bit in TC 32bit

Same case for me.

OK, got it. Then it is going to be easier for me of course.

[Sir_SiLvA]

32bit Version crashes on Windows 11 for me also.

Ah, BTW, I'd appreciate a good advice on the following matter.
Does anyone feel that a detection string is necessary?

The problem is that one of the users here mentioned EdgeViewer can be used to preview images in a folder. To do that I need to be able to view folders. To do that, I have to remove a detection string completely, as far as I understand.
