Imagine (Lister plugin for viewing img files) v. 2.0.0 (May 3 2025)

[deus-ex]

My guess is that he doesn't open any emails about Imagine from email accounts that are unknown to him, and I guess he answers my emails, because I have been a Translator and Beta-tester of Imagine for at least 18 years and I was also Moderator on the Forum he had some years back - so I have been on his mailing list for 18 years.

I cannot second that experience. I was a beta tester and a moderator on nyam's forum for many years, too, my contact hasn't changed since. My attempts to contact him recently using two of his e-mail addresses have been left unanswered, as has my recent post in this thread.

However, I can accept if he doesn't want to reply to me, whatever the reason might be.

My impression is that Sejin thinks it is up to TC to offer a fullscreen feature, and not for the plugin to override TC's settings.

So I wrote how TC will work in relation to the plugin - it won't be able to hide the third-party toolbar and statusbar, only the plugin itself can do it.

everybody

If enough people (everybody who has an interest) supports a native TC feature for fullscreen in plugins (without bars, and preferably with configurable background color), maybe Ghisler will implement it.

I didn't understand who, among others, I should support, given my activity in the above topic? And how can it help a plugin with its own interface?
What is meant by "without bars"? Ignore them? Or take it into account? Does TC have to define the bars drawn by the plugin itself?

Maybe a far more simple question can help to calm things down?
Sooo - I am using Imagine since ages (literally) but only as a lister plugin. I never had a look at the Imagine packer plugin. Here's my simple question: what can you do with the packer plugin und how do you use it.

Here's my simple question: what can you do with the packer plugin

You can open multi-image files as archives and extract each sub-image, e.g. each frame of a GIF animation. Several such image file types were mentioned earlier in this thread (around page 33).

und how do you use it.

Register Imagine.wcx as a packer plugin for each image file type you wish to open as archive. This can be done via TC's GUI but I consider it easier to add the lines to wincmd.ini.
Example:

Code: Select all

[PackerPlugins]
gif=260,%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\Imagine\Imagine.wcx

It's not needed - it's enough to register plugin for ONE extension, even fake one, e.g. "BM" or "IMAGINE"
Imagine packer plugin automatically recognize and open supported formats, even with wrong extension, exactly same way as Lister plugin.

First of all: thanks guys!
Do I understand that the packer plugin is started by pressing Alt-F5 when the cursor is on a grafic file?

Wilhelm M.,

Ctrl-PageDown, I'd guess.

[Wilhelm M.]

You are probably right. Just like ordinary archives. And Alt-F5 was a mistake anyway, should have been Alt-F9. To test this I need multi-image files...

Just remembered OLD bug with Imagine.
Open any big image (bigger than destop resolution), then [Enter] to go fullscreen, then [Enter] to go back, and then [Enter] to go fullscreen again. Now you can see big black border to left and top of the screen.

That's not what I see - but if I open such a big image twice, then the image goes a couple of centimeters in over my right screen.

EDIT
I can confirm it on my laptop with only one screen.
