Thanks a lot Nyam! The best image plug-in for TC just got better and more stable!

BTW, your computer seems to be one day ahead. Today is the 15th but files inside the archive are dated as the 16th!

First of all, thanks for this must_have plugin!:)

With "Fit only big images" is checked, I find there're 2 different behaviors between final and ver 0.9 beta 8, which I'm using so far.
1, Switch from normal window to fullscreen, the image doesn't fit to fullscreen size automatically, you have to press "B" to stretch it. In beta 8 it's automatically.
2, Switch from fullscreen to normal window, then switch to fullscreen again, the horizontal and vertical scroll bars don't disappear. Beta 8 doesn't have this "problem".
Or maybe I should say, imagine doesn't fit to window size automatically when switching between fullscreen and normal window back and forth, as the way beta 8 does.

Are these by design? Is it possible to work back old way, at least optional?

All you mentioned came from the changes of fitting image.
I have to change my code so the images are always fitted in fullscreen mode.

First of all thanks for your great plugin!

The most important point: Imagine still terminates Total Commander on my PC in thumbnail view.

- NO depends on any OLE method or any other external viewer.
- NO creates or uses any registry value.
- Shell extension support. (Context menu in Windows Explorer is available.)

Just a small remark:
I don't understand how these three points fit together. The included support for shell extensions would be impossible without writing to the registry (registering the shell extensions) and linking to the OLE system library.
Maybe you should move the shellextensions to seperate libraries if possible.

Does 'Thumbnail view' mean 'Total Commander Thumbnail view' mode, or Imagine's internal thumbnail view mode?

The text have written before supporting shell extensions.
Anyway, it may means 'no additional registry writing except for essential thing.'.

Total Commander Thumbnail view' mode
Sorry I have to test this a bit more. I forget to remove another Lister plugin. Maybe this one is responsible for the crash.

I've got a problem with the "fit only big images" function. I don't know why, but when i hit f3 and view a image using imagine, the image is zoomed too small. then i press "B" (for "fit only big images") and the image fits. when i press b again the image is in 100% zoom. then b again, and the image fits again. it also works correctly if i switch to next image and back, by pressing space - backspace
but everytime i start lister with imagine i have to press b, which is quite annoying.

i've already deleted the whole imagine plugin folder and re"installed" it from the zip archive i've downloaded.

hope someone knows a solution

thx

In order to make the setting for "fit only big images" stick between "sessions" you have to set it in the configuration: Alt+Enter -> "View" -> "Fit only big images"

[TealC]

this is not my problem.

its a bit difficult to explain in english, what i try to say is:
i've alreade set this option in the config.

now, assuming that 80% would be the fitting zoom size, when i start lister with imagine, the zoom is about 30%. i have no idea why.
when i hit B, it grows to 80% and fits. then i hit B again, it goes to 100%, and from now on it works correctly.

if i don't set fit only big images in the config, everything works correctly, images are always shown at 100%. but that's not what i want.
