So, Download 0.9.6.1 Final

[0.9.6.1]

Added: Support of environment variables like %COMMANDER_PATH% also in command line parameters.
Fixed: Hot keys did not work to start the application from Lister when used more than one modifier.
Fixed: Keys [Options], ScrollLockControl and ModalOnly: Default values did not match to the description in the help file.

[sgp]

So, Download 0.9.6.1 Final

Thank you, but this version seems to have reverted back to no support for DefaultEditor_params: the plugin runs DefaultEditor with no arguments.
I was silly enough to install final 0.9.6.1 over the last temporary version which was working for me, so now I don't have a working version anymore. Could you please post the working temporary version again?

I also noticed a minor issue in final 0.9.6.1. With the directory sync tool compare a zip file on the left and a regular folder on the right. In the result window select a left-side file for which there is no corresponding right-side file. Press F3 and DefaultEditor starts. Press F3 again (with the same file still selected) and the regular lister starts _twice_ (two instances of the same file). So the minor issue is actually two issues; pressin F3 a second time starts lister instead of the Default Editor; and there are two instances of lister instead of one.

I have no temp version.
But I do not confirm that the current version does not work.
Give me config file.

I press F3 many times, but I do not see any problem.
I really need your config file.
And, if possible, your default application.

You're right, today DefaultEditor_params is working for me too. I don't know what was wrong yesterday.

I tested some more and I can reproduce this issue all the time but only when wlx tlister is loaded as the first lister plugin. If I disable tlister then AppLoader works perfectly. Don't bother trying to fix it, it only happens within an archive, it's a corner case and it might depend on tlister entirely. I'm happy with the current AppLoader, thank you.

Yes. I know about the problems of interaction with tLister. I doubt that this is possible to do something, but I promise to try

[sgp]

Maximus, can you please fix this new issue?

Code: Select all

DefaultEditor=%COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wlx\AppLoader\a .. b.EXE

AppLoader doesn't like the " .. " in the filename

AppLoader
Default application not found:
F:\totalcmd\plugins\wlx\AppLoader\a .. b.EXE

Thanks

I am finding the current version (>= 0.9.6.0) to be very slow compared to earlier versions. The older one opens almost instantly. I am using TC, 32-bit on Windows 7.

Please try plugin on other PC?

[0.9.6.1b]
Fixed: Association of application with empty extension did not always work.
Fixed: With ReadOptionsEveryTime=0 did not work disabling of plugin with ScrollLock key in all cases except the first execution.
Fixed: At the first execution of plugin some applications have not been moved to the foreground.

Hi Maximus,
Thanks for the response. Sorry I could not reply earlier.
After some trial & error, I have identified the issue. If you see my configuration, I am having SumatraPDF as one of the viewers. This is causing the issue. I am not sure why though. Once I view any SumatraPDF, all subsequent views, even to simple notepad views, are very slow.
So I have just removed SumatraPDF for now and use it as a viewer separately. Not a big issue for me.
And I confirmed that the issue happens with older AppLoader and new, so I have moved to the new one.
Appreciate your efforts.

[Maximus]

That is good. The main thing that I am not guilty
