NFO Lister Plugin

ZiPo · Post by *ZiPo » 2004-09-25, 12:12 UTC

I've created a plugin for viewing nfo & diz files because the others i tried wasn't working as i wanted..here's is a snippet from the readme:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the NFO Lister Plugin you can view nfo and diz files which are
usually located in downloaded archive files.

- Can remove double linefeed like the DAMN nfoviewer (CTRL+F)
- ASCII font included
- Quick view support
- URL highlighting (clickable!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My domain sinnet.dk is currently down, so get the plugin @ http://users.cybercity.dk/~dsl31430/wlx_nfo.zip

/sinnet

--
It compiles..Let's ship it!

Thx for the plugin.

There is a little disadvantage:

If used i quickview ([Ctrl]+[q]) and the lines are quite long the file doesnt fit in width to the second panel. And ther is no horizontally scroll bar.

Maybe fixed in the next version

I see the problem. it dosen's wrap text as it will look ugly. I just forgot to enable the horizontal scroll bar

Nice stuff, but is it possible to keep configuration in INI file, not in Registry?[/face]

Done. Settings are now stored in ini.

Thanks, but actually I thought that this is an English announce of NFO View plugin - does you one have any relation with it?

The thing is your plugin works rather strange - take a look here. And is it possible to change font or at least font size? What about ASCII/ANSI encoding change?

Z> Next install the ASCII font:

BTW - you can install font via commander, just unpack it from archive and copy to "\\Fonts" virtual folder (cm_OpenFonts).[/face]

Actually, i tried the other nfo plugin you where referring to, but it didn't work like i wanted it to, so i writed my own.

2nd, i'll look into the font size/change matter and 3rd, what do you mean about ASCII/ANSI encoding change ?

I see.

Thanks.

Well, that's easy - your plugin doesn't support ASCII/ANSI encoding change Lister has, so Russian ASCII symbols became unreadable.[/face]

Well, first of all thanks for pointing this out

but i don't know how to implement that..Maybe you have some sort of documentation for that ? Or can tell me where to get more info?

Which version to use?

wlx_nfo.zip (newer version of .wlx)

or

nfoview12.zip (current download from homepage)

And why 1.2? History says 1.02.

That's probably two different plugins.

Oh, right.

I didn't read the whole thread carefully.
