Imagine (Lister plugin for viewing img files) v. 1.9.0 (Apr 12 2025)

Maybe it is just my avi and mkv samples, could you try if your Imagine tries to open these two files:

Confirmed, both files work normally here too with the HEIF plugin v0.0.1. As stated above by nyam, all issues are fixed with the new HEIF plugin v0.0.2.

I can confirm that with HEIF plugin v. 0.0.2 it is no longer necessary to exclude .mp4, .mov, .m4v, and .m4a files in TC's detect string for Imagine

Any other means to contact you by e-mail? A note I sent to nyam@nyam.pe.kr just bounced back with the error message "user is over quota".
You get too much fan mail, I guess?

EDIT: I just used a different e-mail contact referenced on nyam's website.

nyam,
Thank you, the new HEIF plugin fixes the behavior.

Can you add support for JPEG-XL (jxl), please? Even the reading of it will be enough for first time.

Uau!
We are so happy to see you here!

Btw could you also bring some light on the problems with ICC profiles inside the images?

if a certain ICC-profile is embedded in the body of the photo, then Imagine needs to display colors and saturation when viewing this photo, taking into account the data from this profile! Otherwise, it may turn out to be nonsense pic.
And there are three pictures on the site showing it clearly. {see the link below}
A normal photo is how we should see a person, an abnormal photo is THAT how viewer programs show this photo WITHOUT support of the ICC-profile in parsing code. And the third photo - actually a photo with an embedded ICC-profile record - for testing the capabilities of viewer programs.

For example, in any modern browser, the first and the second photos should look exactly the same, because in browser's code, this support have been implemented a long time ago in order to follow the web design standards.

how do you use the Imagine.wcx?
give me some examples for [PackerPlugins]

[petermad]

2KozakMak

First you have to register imagine as a Packer plugin.

Add this to the [PackerPlugins] section in your windmc.ini:

Code: Select all

gif=327,%COMMANDER_PATH%\PLUGINS\wlx\Imagine\Imagine.wcx

And this to your [PackerPlugins64] section:

Code: Select all

exts=gif*

If you already have en exts line then add gif* to the line.

Restart TC, now if you have an animated gif file, you can press Ctrl+PgDn on the file and it will show all the images inside the gif file

I have already been considering applying for the ICC profile.
But I can't promise when it will be implemented, and it may not be implemented.
This is also related to the fact that I do not use an ICC profile.

besides .gif - what other formats can be used?

2nyam
does jpg lossless supported?

2nyam
Could you please be so kind to somehow reorder the plugins list on your download page in a way that would reflect their release/update dates flow?

[petermad]

Well, once you have registered it for gif files, Ctrl+PgDn on any image file supported by Imagine is opened as an archive, but so far I have unly seen multipel images in gif files.

I would have expected it to work with .ico files and multipage .tif files, where Imagine wlx shows the additional images, but it doesn't seem to work for these formats.

does jpg lossless supported?

Imagine has a tool in the it's menu under "Tools" -> "JPEG Lossless Transformation CTRL+Q" that can flip and rotate jpg images lossless.

besides .gif - what other formats can be used?

I assume that it can be used with every image format which can contain multiple frames/images and/or can be animated. TIF is definitely one of them, maybe it works with APNG (animated PNG) and MNG (Multiple-Image Network Graphics). Since Imagine supports ANI (animated cursor), ICL (icon library) and ICO (icon) it will probably work there as well. I'm quite certain there are other formats. However, I don't know if Imagine will open any of these as an archive properly.
