Trying to install, I get this message :

Code: Select all

Error loading plugin file !
The plugin probably needs some DLL missing on your system

Any idea ?

Under Win XP Sp3 and also under Vista Sp1

Hm, looks like newest MS redistruables (msvcr90d.dll). I will try to find a way to change it. I did it somehow with wdx

Edit: Plug re-uploaded. Should not require additional DLLs (but is bigger, unfortunately).

Hello !

• I just installed it, it works. It should be nice to provide a sample of every supported extension (even as a link),
because indeed such file types are rather rare here…

• Also a wish : What about a mini local menu for Copy as plain text… ?
- That works from the keys, but I guess it's missing.

- The whole alinéa * selection by 3-click works fine with the Plugin (that isn't the case always in Lister… )

* That's a French naming for a continuous group of lines which are not a paragraph… Plz check mail

An error in pluginst.inf

Code: Select all

[PluginInstall]

It should be "wlx".

Hello !

• Right, confirmed ! However, that didn't cause any trouble to me because I installed the plug-in via TC-Plugman…

I got an error message

Code: Select all

Crash in plugin Office2007.wlx:
Access violation at address 7C80A2FA. Read of address 017BF000

I press the key "4" (switch between differnt viewers) often.

I've received similar report on e-mail (with problematic Excel file). I am trying to figure out it's magic (it runs smoothly when I try to debug but not directly in TC).

[djk]

I've got similar errors on some .docx and .xlsx files and on all .pptx files. I can try to find some not 'secret' files and send it to you if you need them for test purposes.

[fenix_productions]

Good news: I found the way to fix it but I will hold a little bit with new version.

Reason: problematic files does not contain text in "standard places" but numbers as references to common strings table only. I am holding to avoid new reports about: "There is no text! I can see just numebrs!"

Simply: I want two things fixed.

2djk
Please send me at least one of each files for docx or pptx. I've got plenty of Excel files.

[djk]

Ok, I will prepare and send you such files.
What strange, if I press F3 a few times (sometimes only twice) on the same e.g. *.xlsx file it works correctly at the beginning but it crashes later.

Great plugin but with some problems.

1. When filename is in Chinese Simplified, plugin crashes. It says

Code: Select all

Crash in plugin Office2007.wlx
Access Violation in address 77E63804, read address of 03755000

BTW, if filename is extremely short (eg 1 character only), it may or may not crash. If it is long, it crashes each time.

to Ghisler as well:
When click Cancel on that plugin crash error window, another error window pops up says

Code: Select all

Cannot change Visible in OnShow or OnHide. 
Please report this error to the Author,
...

2. If changing filename into English, then most Chinese characters in the document cannot be displayed.

Environment: Win2K3 SP2 with Eastern Asian Language support installed, TC 7.04a.

All snapshots attached.

Test file & snapshots can be found @ http://www.box.net/shared/5j6q32l2h5

1. When filename is in Chinese Simplified, plugin crashes.

Confirmed for 0.0.1 but no crashes for new build (I will upload 0.0.2 later today).

BTW, if filename is extremely short (eg 1 character only), it may or may not crash. If it is long, it crashes each time.

Already reported by djk and fixed

2. If changing filename into English, then most Chinese characters in the document cannot be displayed.

I know about that. I've tried to fix it by adding proper characters conversion (from utf-8 to ANSI locale). It seems to work for Polish characters. We'll see if it's valid for Chinese.

Environment: Win2K3 SP2 with Eastern Asian Language support installed, TC 7.04a.

All snapshots attached.

Thank you for your report. I appreciate that.

I took a look on it with 0.0.1 and have crashes but there are no longer problems with it. Just wait for new release.


BTW The easiest way to show MessageBoxes' content is to use Ctrl+C on them (and Ctrl+V in notepad)

[fenix_productions]

0.0.2 is out!

I've fixed few issues with "Access violation" (reason: bad Utf8ToAnsi) and added empty documents handling.

I have also implemented proper reading of XLSX tags, so if anyone saw numbers instead of text... this is no longer a problem.

Thanks to djk for his files.

ToDo list for this plugin is still growing. Thank you all for ideas.

P.S.1. I will hold a little with this one and fix bugs from here in Office2007wdx (they share same source code).

P.S.2. Please confirm if national characters are shown correctly.

Wish: add a font dialog for a font. And maybe color dialog for a backcolor.
At last make an option
