Thank you, I see. However there are no answers to my problems in those topic too.

What is your specific question or task?

Well, indeed I've already asked some things in my previous post.

1) I have big troubles with searching in the plugin's window. The only option to call search dialog in any type of document (HTML, TXT etc.) is context menu command via RMT - and this works only by pressing the button "Find Next", but not by pressing key "Enter".
Yes, F7 calls search dialog too, but this does not really do nothing. Is this a bug of the app or something is wrong in my settings?

2) I see, that there are some configurable setting in the file TxQuickView.ini and in the System Registry, but I could not find anywere any explanations for meaning of those settings. It would not very bad to know what does mean some of them.

3) Is there any option to include some external Lister plugin in the list of options avaliable via the most left button's drop-down menu at the toolbar? I mean to use TxQuickView as a shell for some external plugin to switch between them and native Lister and TxQuickView itself - this is the feature Lister itself IMHO must have, but which it has not

ad 1st: "search"
I don't use and don't recommend to use TxQuickView for "text" files because IMHO TCmd-Lister is the better viewer for "text" files. That's the reason which is why I exclude TxQuickView to handle text files. This is realized via the wincmd.ini entry dectect string and is "described" here
Nevertheless there is no solution for your problem because TxQuickView handles the search by itself. But there is a button "binoculars" for starting TxQuickView search too.

ad 2nd:

I could not find anywere any explanations for meaning of those settings

Because there is no explanation available. The entries are more or less self explanatory and/or are handled via the proper dialog (e.g. TxQuickView with "the most left button's drop-down menu" Options).

ad 3rd:

Is there any option to include some external Lister plugin in the list of options avaliable via the most left button's drop-down menu at the toolbar?

No, it's not and not necessary. TCmd-Lister itself can be used as a shell. Please have a look to menu "Options" (of TCmd-Lister) and choose one of the wanted formats. Menu "Options/Image-Multimedia" switches between the different suitable Lister plugins.

I disagree. TxQuickView has some additional features in text view mode which built-in Lister has not: quick change of font style and current font's size.
However the above mentioned bug/feature with search shortcut decrease very much TxQuickView usability in text mode.

The entries are more or less self explanatory

Rather less - for an ordinary user, who has not experience with TxQuickView.

Yes, it has, but really it does not. I mean not always - and not between every of installed plugin Sometimes some plugins are passed by, sometimes key 4 does not work at all.
Besides imagine if you have 5 Lister plugins - so you have sometimes press in blind 4 times to toggle from the 1st plugin in the list to the last - and then 4 times more to reach back to previous one. In this aspect your TxQuickView interface, yes, this drop-down button, is much more convenient, isn’t it?

Try using the Universal Viewer.
It supports all lister plugins and has itself many nice features.
In text mode for eample there are buttons to change the font size.

Thank you. But AFAIK Universal Viewer is not a TC's plugin, but an external application. The disadvantage if this fact that it is not possible to use UE in order to Quck View files, am I right? Is there any disadvantages as well?

Is there any way to change the principle: not to assign those file types to exclude from the list of files supported by TxQuickView, but rather to set TxQuickView to handle only those files wich are assigned to be handled by it.

I'll try to study it. Thanks!

P.S.
I'd dare to remark, that there had not been any explanation regarding my question in that next topic before. Now there is.
