MDView - New Markdown viewer plugin for Total Commander

[AkulaBig]

I compiled the WinXP version using VS 2026 in Win11

Difficulties in translation prevent us from understanding each other. VS 2026 does not have the v141_xp tool and SDK 7. I showed this in the screenshots. That is, you cannot compile your plugin by installing VS 2026. VS 2026 will complain about the absence of these components, as I showed in the screenshot. And you cannot install them from VS2026. To do this, you first need to install the version of VS,
containing the components you use. And I'm using the components provided by VS2026. Is it clear now?

I don't use VS 2026 myself, so I can't say whether it works or not.
Have you tried following this guide?

Yes. This tutorial is for VS2017. VS2026 does not have the v141_xp tool, but it does have v141. Which is compatible with XP. Also there is no SDK7, but SDK10.0.22621.0. Which is compatible with XP.
Doesn't compile:

v3.0 added chars with spaces count and renamed the project

I decided to make a permanent link to my version of the project. The content will be updated depending on the plugin version update:

Differences from the version Nigurrath:
- in the archive there is a plugin of both bit levels with support for Win XP
- the sources are configured to compile with VS2026 without installing intermediate versions of the compiler.

I added your project sln files to a dedicated folder in the GitHub repository w credits and also cleaned a bit the repo

OK, thank you. And you don't plan to support TC? That is, the plugin must meet the concept adopted in TC. For keys 1..9, N, P to work. Yes, and the TC menu should work. Although it is not always possible to get the menu to work.

BTW all problems mentioned in my post viewtopic.php?p=480444#p480444 are still here.

And 2 suggestions in the next 2 posts after mine from a link at above - are also desirable to get in a code )

Tried the latest jumpifequal: WLX_mdview_TC-plugin_v3.0.zip with xPDFSearch: readme.md which renders fine with VSCode, but with MDView shows kind of garbage starting with chapter "2\. Field descriptions":

@Nigurrath
The Issues section is disabled in your GitHub repository. If this happened by accident, it might be a good idea to enable it—it makes it easier to keep track of issues and feature requests.

The github repo (and downloadable zip plugin) contains `Trojan:Win32/Bearfoos.B!ml` malware. Whoever downloaded/installed it - I suggest full system scan for viruses/trojans.

dnknitro: you are talking about the original FrankEBailey: mdview: virustotal for MDView_TC_Plugin_2.3.zip.
jumpifequal: mdview-for-Total-Commander is clean, see WLX_mdview_TC-plugin_v3.0.zip!

It's a false positive caused by using the VS2026 preview. I know there are no viruses on my system 110%. But you don't have to trust me; that's why I provide the full source code.
