TC IrfanView Plugin

[tuska]

Normally there is no need for two installation versions for one plugin (or I haven't come across that yet).

You're absolutely right. Two versions of the same plugin are completely unnecessary.

There is a misunderstanding.
I meant I don't know of any plugin that allows 2 installations ways.

With your plugin one can either
a) fill out the irfanview.ini ... OR ...
b) the "IrfanView" or "IrfanView64" folders are filled

Corrected 2.58b. I have several plugins, so I want to unify the code for them. But it doesn't work. Check the performance:

Yes, now that's something different - now I understand the plugin
(It must have been my poor English that I didn't see through earlier).

Ctrl+Q works now!
F3 Lister calls IrfanView directly.

During installation, the version no. 2.57 is still displayed instead of 2.58.

Thank you for your efforts!

b) the "IrfanView" or "IrfanView64" folders are filled

You're right. I wanted to give a description of the simplest way to install the plugin, when the IV is placed in the \IrfanView(64) subfolders. That's what I create them for. Then there is no need to register anything in irfanview.ini. And he wrote in the readme "place IV in any folder". That's what I'll fix. Then it turns out 1 option for inexperienced users. Then the ini files IV are in the correct folders. And if the user is advanced, he will use option 2 and place the IV where he likes. Personally, I myself have the IV lying in subfolders. But I only use IV x32, so I have the path [Options] spelled out
path64=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCIrfanView\IrfanView\i_view32.exe

Now I will post a release with the correct numbers and a corrected readme.

[tuska]

Can you please mention with version 2.x either on the web page or in the Readme.txt,
that you can also use Ctrl+Q. This has unfortunately escaped me until now.

[AkulaBig]

Version 2.58:
* internal changes.

Re-read the readme in the plugin installation part. Is the installation clear now? By the way, I wrote about Ctrl+Q, although it should be clear.

Thanks for the new version!
So far everything is clear for me.

Subsequently, I still noticed the following:
If both plugins are installed (1.8.4 and 2.58) and plugin 2.58 has priority and is 1 line above
Plugin 1.8.4, then Ctrl+Q will show the preview in the other window, press TAB,
press digit 4 ... changes to plugin preview of 1.8.4: preview is EMPTY, press digit 4 again:
Switch to the next plugin -> "photoviewer" can show the preview, press digit 4 again:
Switch to the next plugin -> "imagine" can show the preview.

Unfortunately I didn't notice this before.
But this effect can only be achieved if both plugins are installed.

And thank you very much! Thanks to you, I was able to make a clear description, and this is very important. It was very difficult to understand you because of the translator, but we figured it out anyway.

Good. I'll try to figure it out.

I don't see any reason to have both plugins at the same time.
Its just for testing and then such effects doesn't matter.
Most users will not install 2 plugins doing the same job.
The 1.8.4 supports all Lister and IrfanView functions.
The 2.x line doesn't have any advantages.

I agree.
However, I wanted to have this point mentioned.
I had actually expected that the issue would not be pursued any further.

The 2.x line doesn't have any advantages.

I don't agree.
I think it's a matter of taste (keypress, mouse click, what use takes place).

Yes!

[AkulaBig]

Yes!

This is called improved code. There was a working code. It was necessary to insert one block of creating an ini file. Along the way, I decided to improve the code a little. As a result, I broke everything

Thank you for TC IrfanView Plugin 2.59

Thus we have...

Due to two forum posts I come back to the topic "Option variant" with file "irfanview.ini".
when using the installation paths "c:\Program Files\" or/and "C:\Program Files (x86)\".

In this case, the information in the "irfanview.ini" file is NOT taken into account(!).
(I have never checked this before, as I have my installations in C:\totalcmd - with write permissions).
The context menu is also not displayed in this constellation ("c:\Program Files\...)".

Example

Code: Select all

[Options]
path64=C:\Program Files\IrfanView_64bit\i_view64.exe
path=C:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView\i_view32.exe

Details

• TC Installation: C:\Program Files\totalcmd
  C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\GHISLER\wincmd.ini
• TC Plugin-Installation: c:\Program Files\totalcmd\Plugins\wlx\TCIrfanView\
• TC Plugin-Installation: irfanview.ini

  Code: Select all

  [Options]
  path64=C:\Program Files\IrfanView_64bit\i_view64.exe
  path=C:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView\i_view32.exe

• IrfanView 64bit Installation: C:\Program Files\IrfanView_64bit\
  1. C:\Program Files\IrfanView_64bit\i_view64.ini

     Code: Select all

     [Others]
     INI_Folder=%APPDATA%\IrfanView

  2. C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\IrfanView\i_view64.ini
     - OR/AND -
• IrfanView 32bit Installation: C:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView\
  1. C:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView\i_view32.ini

     Code: Select all

     [Others]
     INI_Folder=%APPDATA%\IrfanView

  2. C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\IrfanView\i_view32.ini

Please review this option variant.
Thank you!

One more additional question:
F3 Lister (irfanview) displays an image in the lister.
F2 Rename can only take effect if you have previously clicked in the image.
Is it possible to change this so that renaming is possible immediately after F2?

14.06.23 Release Total Commander 11.00 beta 7
13.06.23 Added: Lister: React to Shift+F10 or context menu key to show context menu at caret position (if shown),
                         or otherwise end of selection (32/64)

Call the context menu by right-clicking on the image after F3 Lister (irfanview):
Move the cursor away from the context menu -> The title bar displays the path and name of the image again!
Unfortunately only because the context menu is frozen.

Unfortunately the context menu does not work for me in TC 11.00b7 x64 - it is displayed but is frozen.
But it works in TC 11.00b7 x86 and TC 11.00b6 x64 .
