Missing options for configuring 64-bit IrfanView

[Usher]

There is no option for configuring 64-bit IrfanView in 64-bit TC. "Configure Lister" dialog hints i_view32.exe name for path search.
There is only one option in wincmd.ini for that path: IViewPath, so it's impossible to use both i_view32 in 32-bit TC and i_view64in 64-bit TC with the same wincmd.ini. Or maybe I am missing something?

wincmd.ini - example:

Code: Select all

[Configuration]
Viewer=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\IrfanView-portable-64bit\IrfanView\i_view64.exe "%1"

[Lister]
IViewPath=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\IrfanView-portable-64bit\IrfanView\i_view64.exe

... works for me in TC 10.50RC4 x86, x64.

Since you can call both 32-bit and 64-bit Irfanview from 64-bit TC, but on 32-bit only systems only call 32-bit Irfanview from 32-bit TC, I prefer to let the user configure 32-bit Irfanview. They are free to manually choose 64-bit Irfanview, though. When you click >> it looks for *.exe so you can also pick 64-bit Irfanview.

You can't do it when you want to run portable TC in Windows XP.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I use this in
Windows 11 Pro (x64) Version 21H2 (OS build 22000.778).

And some IV plugins works better in 64-bit, so 64-bit IrfanView is sometimes also needed.
That way I have to play more with different ini files and redirected sections and it slowly goes Art for art's sake.

Sorry, I don't have any plans to change this for the above reason.
