What's happened? At your page and at totalcmd.net is 1.0.2.0 version again. Is there any error in 1.0.2.1?

Is there any error in 1.0.2.1?

Unfortunately, it was late yesterday night and I introduced a typo in the detection string. Shame on me...

Nice plugin, thank you !

Never heard of Sudoku before, seems I missed something ...

Version 1.0.2.1 : Removing the plugin.inf can not be the final solution ...
Other plugins have their own DLLs as well, but work fine.
You may have a look at your code to find the reason.

I did some testing with the "misssing DLL" message (blackbox only, sorry)

I put the archive on Drive E:\, while the plugin folder is on drive C:\TC\plugins\wlx\.

Just opening the archive on right panel E:\ while left panel shows C:\ will raise the error.
Bad, but at least it creates the XSudoku folder ...

Meanwhile I open and close another archive to reenable the auto-install ...

Now I set the current dir on left panel to "C:\TC\plugins\wlx\XSudoku\" and open the XSudoku archive on right panel ("E:\") again.
This time installation works fine !

It looks like that it works, if the current dir on the "plugin drive" points to the XSudoku dir.

Hope it helps ...

Hi sqa_wizard,

thanks for your testing. I was already in correspondence with Mr. Ghisler and pointed him to the same observations you have just figured out. The "missing" DLL (XsudokuWndR.dll) will be found if it is
* in TC directory,
* in Windows directory,
* in system directory,
* located on the path or
* in the opposite TC panel (w.r.t your Sudoku file).
As neither of this 5 conditions must hold at installation time I have decided to remove the pluginst.inf from the archive and extended the Readme file by steps for manual installation.

Well, the only thing, I stumbled about is :

I do have some Lister-Plugins (e.g. VisualDirSize) that need at least one additional DLL in their installation folder. No problem there ...

[tbeu]

That's the difference between static and dynamic linkage. Check the DLL dependencies of the plugin using http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/fileinfo.html or http://www.dependencywalker.com.

The XSudoku plugin is statically linked to XSudokuWndR.dll. The VisualDirSize plugin is dynamicall linked to dirsizec.dll.

The XSudoku plugin is statically linked to XSudokuWndR.dll.

2 LOC to add/change ...

looks nice, will give it a try.

thank you.

Currently the Sudoku numbers can only be entered by mouse actions. But I want to lift this limitation. Who can help me in development to make the keys in lister window working? Your support is very welcome as I already tried to catch the keyboard messages but did not succeed.
Thanks from Thomas

I just want to warn you a little
If you intercept 0-9 keys in Lister, this may work in Lister, but may not work in Universal Viewer because Viewer handles shortcuts in a little different way...

(This can be solved in Viewer but reassigning shortcuts.)
