WDX - Content Plugins // Inhaltsplugins: the most useful, sorted by file type


Content Plugins can be used to provide file meta data or details for use in Search, User defined Columns or in MultiRename-Tool.
Inhaltsplugins können verwendet werden, um Dateiinhalte und -Details für die Suche, Benutzerdefinierte Spalten und das MultiUmbenennTool zur Verfügung zu stellen.


Which Content Plugin can you recommend for a specific file type?
Welches Inhaltsplugin kannst du für einen speziellen Dateityp empfehlen?

Like usage for:


Audio/MP3/ID3-tag:
MP3 ID3 - mp3tag https://www.mp3tag.de/tc.html (dgroeser)
MP3 ID3 - AudioInfo https://totalcmd.net/plugring/AudioInfo.html (rsa)
ShellDetails (tuska)
ShellDetails everything windows explorer displays (sqa_wizard)
MediaInfoWDX for multiple kind of media (audio, video) (sqa_wizard)
Mediainfo.wdx: (see video/audio metadata detailed information) - content plugin
wdxtaglib at totalcmd.net: https://totalcmd.net/plugring/wdxtaglib.html  (elgonzo)
wdxtaglib here in the forum: https://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=145149  (elgonzo)
http://totalcmd.net/plugring/AudioInfo.html  (elgonzo)

AS said, you can use any of the following :

• wdxTaglib Just pick the Zip unless you want to compile.

• Shell Details Swiss Knife of content plugins, it expose same data as Explorer in advanced properties.

• Audio Tag View Works well with HD formaty including dff and dsf

• ID3 from Ch. Ghisler Original ID3 plugin.

Check out >> A long list TC Lister Plugins >> http://totalcmd.net/directory/lister.html

Also, how about a viewer for TTF?

64- and 32-bit:
http://totalcmd.net/plugring/akfont.html

32-bit only:
http://totalcmd.net/plugring/TTFviewer.html
http://totalcmd.net/plugring/font.html

My favorites:

pdf = sLister + SumatraPDF (portable version)
MS Office = uLister (but I use unofficial version 4.0.0.1 - see here)
raster, vector = IrfanView
cad = uLister / CADView (Shareware)
ttf = AKFont
Multimedia = MMedia (but I use unofficial version 2.6.2.1 - see here)
exe, dll, ... = FileInfo
ico, icl, ... = ICLView
lnk = LinkInfo
Syntax highlight = TotalHLT / Syn2 (part of SynWrite, 32-bit only)


sLister + SumatraPDF
I use modified version of sLister plugin 32+64 bit in the same folder. It is 'dirty patch' because slister.wlx64 is directly edited with Hex editor, but it works (or you can edit source files and re-compile) .

Code: Select all

slister.wlx64 (v1.1.2.0 / size 59904 b)
Address:       Old byte        New byte   
AC0A           65              36
AC0C           72              34
Difference: s.l.i.s.t.e.r...i.n.i  -> s.l.i.s.t.6.4...i.n.i 

AC44           65              36
AC46           72              34
Difference: s.l.i.s.t.e.r...i.n.i  ->  s.l.i.s.t.6.4...i.n.i 

AC66           50              58
AC68           44              36
AC6A           46              34
Difference: S.u.m.a.t.r.a.P.D.F...e.x.e  ->  S.u.m.a.t.r.a.X.6.4...e.x.e 

ACA9           50              58
ACAA           44              36
ACAB           46              34
Difference: S.u.m.a.t.r.a.P.D.F...e.x.e  ->  S.u.m.a.t.r.a.X.6.4...e.x.e 

New ini filename for slister.wlx64 is now slist64.ini, it contains path to SumatraPDF 64-bit (eg. path=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\Wlx\SLister\SumatraX64.exe).
64-bit version of SumatraPDF.exe have to be renamed to SumatraX64.exe.

Any interest in updating that list? What is missing?

Which plugin do you use for which purpose?


Please help to collect which plugin to use for which issue. Help others to chose the right plugin for their need.

We could need this information from you:
Used for Extension/FiletypeGroup --- Plugin-Name --- Link to Download or Forum Page --- (Example usage ?)



Link to an older collection at hand?

Exif 2.3 is outdated and superseded by Exif 2.6 from 2020-03-13.

[Thany]

Sorry to be mean, but this topic is yet another slightly loose collection of "useful" plugins (in inverted commas because it's highly opinionated, which is not good for a mostly unopnionated tool like TC).

What TC needs is a proper centralized plugin management system, much like VScode has. You can still install plugins downloaded from other sources, but plugins downloaded from the central repo are trusted, virus-checked, and can be installed at the click of a mousebutton. Such plugins should also be required to be opensource, because of the risk they pose. With that, be won't need topics like this, no matter how useful and well-intentioned.

It makes absolutely no sense to me that, in 2021 still, we have to gather plugins from the most obscure and untrustworthy websites and we are expected to trust our beloves files with them. An slight exaggeration of course, but it does make my point.

but plugins downloaded from the central repo are trusted, virus-checked, and can be installed at the click of a mousebutton

An who should certify and virus-check all these plugins? Programming Total Commander is a one-man project, so maintaining such a system would take unproportionally much time away from developing TC.

plugins downloaded from the central repo are trusted, virus-checked, and can be installed at the click of a mousebutton

So you volunteer to maintain such a repository, I assume?

What is there to maintain? I don't want yet another broomed-together list of plugins. I want it centralised within TC itself. I cannot do that, as long as TC remains closed source ;)

(btw, why do these quote tags not work? I just clicked the quote button on your post...)

Thany,
You need to uncheck "Disable BBCode" in your post.

I enabled BBCode in your post, so now they do work.

How about Github or https://sourcehut.org/ ?

[Helix751]

What TC needs is a proper centralized plugin management system

I agree with this. It's 2023 already and not few sw packages already include a centralized plugin repo system, with version control, network and in-app update and even descriptions and requirements. eg. Notepad++ does this quite well.

I also agree the virus and integrity-checks, and even trusting them is more than the developer may have the time or resources to do, but a simple disclaimer stating that "these plugins are developed and updated by third parties and Ghisler Co. cannot offer support or any warranties on the usage, results and the usual legal blah-blah".

Hey guys
I see you have sLister activated as a WDX Content plugin or is it only 2Stefan2...

pdf = sLister + SumatraPDF (portable version)

But on my system it is not registered so.
In my plugins I have it with WLX extension and only as Lister plugin
What do I do to make this registration?

Thanks!

Hmm, where do you see that?
