Lister doesn't load our plugin for certain images

[ctiberg]

Having solved the DetectString length problem by limiting the extensions that get registered (and thus limiting the use of the plugin), we promptly ran into the next problem.

For some images - BMP,WMF,ICO as far as we know to date - Lister doesn't even try to load our plugin. The image is just displayed in the normal Lister, which might be fine if we hadn't added some features that go beyond just displaying the image. These features are now not available, because our plugin isn't even loaded.

Does anyone know if it's supposed to work this way? Are there any way to sidestep it, perhaps with some configuration of the Lister?

Try TC 6.0 - it has a new mechanism to detect multimedia plugins. The string MULTIMEDIA must be present in the detect string. Here is the new description of this string:

This detect string is special: It is always TRUE (also in older TC versions). If it is present in the string, this plugin overrides internal multimedia viewers in TC. If not, the internal viewers are used. Check the example below!

MULTIMEDIA & (EXT="WAV" | EXT="MP3")

Important: MULTIMEDIA is always true, even in TC 5.5x, so you need to AND it with the rest of the string, not OR it!

Yeah, we'll of course try that - we hadn't noticed that it was released We also hope that you'll now have time to review our plugins The URL's we sent to you are old, but you can find the current ones in the forum
