NTFS FileStreams - how to use?

[winni]

How to use the file system plugin "NTFS FileStreams" ?

[MVV]

After installing new item appears in Network root (where all FS plugins are displayed), so enter plugin's folder, then browse to file inside of it and enter file as archive - you will see all streams of that file.

but as administrator only - very bad
as unprivileged user I see nothing (an empty window)

1. Why you programmed it as file system plugin and not as content plugin?
2. It must be possible to view alternate date streams as unpriviledged user. I can use dir /r to see which file has a stream and more < file:stream to view the stream.

Furthermore I see ::$DATA (the content of the main stream), ::$OBJECT_ID and ::$SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR that I cannot open as administrator. But I don't want to open it. (I use Windows 7.) Why can I see it?

My wish: Create a content plugin, so I can define my own view and hover a file/dir to view the ADS.

(Sorry for my bad English!)

I use NTFS Stream 1.0.1.59 too. But it cannot show the content of ADS. Or I can't find out how.

As NTFS Streams is a packer plugin too, you can simply enter the archive by pressing <Ctrl+PgDwn> to access the alternative data streams.

Ah - yes! Thank you!

Oh - no, but not, if the main stream is a file that handled by an other packer plugin or by TC (*.zip).

A user defined view that is showing by hovering the file should by the best.

Define your own tooltip:
"Configuration->Options->Display: Help texts : User-defined [+]"

I'm not a plugin's author so question is not for me.
But FS plugin is the most convenient way to see alternate streams because WDX can't show any files, it may be used only for displaying information like stream count, and WCX can't be called for particular file, it must be installed for entire file type (you can't use it for already associated file type).

indeed. there're other plugins so don't put blame on this one
