Unfortunately, starting with this topic, there were off-topic posts in the "TC IrfanView Plugin" post
regarding "TCSumatraPDF Plugin + SumatraPDF". Because of this, I am opening a new topic
here to separate the topics.
TEST RESULTS and comments on this topic - without claiming to be complete.
- This post is also available in German language.

TCSumatraPDF Plugin 1.3 - ToDo, settings, installation variants, filing structure
- Option: Check if this setting is present in file "wincmd.ini" in the [Configuration] section:
Pluginbasedir=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins
- Attention: If the TCSumatraPDF plugin has already been installed, the following is recommended...
- Create a BACKUP of the folder "%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\" (e.g. C:\totalcmd\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\).
(My own settings for SumatraPDF are here: %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF-settings.txt)
%COMMANDER_PATH% is the location, i.e. folder, in which the files "TOTALCMD.EXE" and/or "TOTALCMD64.EXE" are located.
With a Upgrade, e.g. from wlx_TCSumatraPDF_1.3 to wlx_TCSumatraPDF_1.4, these files are currently overwritten(!):
%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe
%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF-settings.txt
It is therefore advisable to create the following BACKUP files in this folder:
C:\totalcmd\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF-3.4.6-32.exe -> for renaming to SumatraPDF.exe
C:\totalcmd\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF-settings_BACKUP.txt -> for renaming to SumatraPDF-settings.txt
- A BACKUP of the line "#_detect="MULTIMEDIA & (EXT="AI"|..." which is in the file "wincmd.ini" in section
"[ListerPlugins]" located below the line "#=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.wlx".
# = digit, i.e. it is the position where the TCSumatraPDF plugin is located under Configure > Lister plugins (.WLX).
Plugin order counting starts at 0 (zero) and processing of the plugins is done by Total Commander
from TOP (e.g. 0 ... %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.wlx) to BOTTOM.
This gives you the option of restoring your own settings later if necessary
(or just to compare with the new file types from an upgrade installation).
(Although this point is more relevant for the "TC IrfanView Plugin" (because of many file types), I would like to mention it anyway).
- Create a BACKUP of the folder "%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\" (e.g. C:\totalcmd\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\).
- Download file "wlx_TCSumatraPDF_1.3.7z"
- Option1: Location %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\Downloads\wlx_TCSumatraPDF_1.3.7z
- Option2: Additionally create: %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\Downloads\TCSumatraPDF.url
- Option3: Additionally create: %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\Downloads\SumatraPDF.url
- Option: Determine the installation location for this plugin in advance.
Note: Usually it is NOT necessary to change the installation location, but there are exceptions to those
changing the installation location is recommended. This is e.g. the case if there are two plugins/plugin versions
where e.g. the file "pluginst.inf" [plugininstall] has the same name, e.g. file=IrfanView.wlx, File=Imagine.wlx.
One can easily overwrite a plugin installation at first unnoticed.
<OffTopic> With the TC IrfanView plugins the risk will be not so large, since one will decide as a rule
for a Plugin version (rather for test purposes interesting) </OffTopic>.- Position the cursor on the "wlx_TCSumatraPDF_1.3.7z" file, then hold the Ctrl key and press the Page Down key
Now you get an insight into the .7z archive. - Position the cursor on the "pluginst.inf" file, then press Ctrl+Q 'Quick View Panel'.
The installation location is now: defaultdir=Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF, i.e. the installation takes place here:
%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\ (Example: C:\totalcmd\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\). - Press Ctrl+Q 'Quick View Panel' to exit the preview
- Then press the back button to close the .7z archive again.
- Then a Total Commander restart is required, eg with command CM_EXIT 1, so after double-clicking
on the file "wlx_TCSumatraPDF_1.3.7z" in Total Commander(!) the plugin installation can be started.
(There is another variant that serves the same purpose).
Note: As a rule and if NOT previously viewed in the file "wlx_TCSumatraPDF_1.3.7z" a Total Commander restart is NOT necessary!
- Position the cursor on the "wlx_TCSumatraPDF_1.3.7z" file, then hold the Ctrl key and press the Page Down key
- Double click on the file "wlx_TCSumatraPDF_1.3.7z" in Total Commander(!) starts the plugin installation.
Then follow the instructions...
In my opinion, it is usually advisable to request an "overwrite confirmation": "▢ Confirm overwrite".- The plugin is then added as the last plugin under Configuration in the Lister plugins (.WLX):
%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.wlx
Attention: At this point, the TCSumatraPDF plugin be available under Configure > Lister Plugins (.WLX)
should NOT yet moved up! Note: The plugins are processed from top to bottom.
If this is desired, then only at a later date (this is described below...). - BEFORE calling the TCSumatraPDF plugin, eg Ctrl+Q - quick view or F3: Lister one should start with the required setup...
- The plugin is then added as the last plugin under Configuration in the Lister plugins (.WLX):
- TCSumatraPDF Plugin setup
- (1) Renaming the "SumatraPDF" folder
FROM: %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF\
TO: %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF_OriginalFiles\
so that the original installation files from the author are preserved.

"Feedback on forum posts by AkulaBig and Horst.Epp" - (3) %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF_OriginalFiles\SumatraPDF-settings.txt
This is the settings file for this file - see point (2):

still serve a specific purpose described by the author of the plugin.
(Otherwise, however, this file is already very outdated and should no longer be used).

The most recent file of SumatraPDF, currently "SumatraPDF-3.4.6-32.exe" has been copied to the "SumatraPDF" folder
and renamed to "SumatraPDF.exe". This makes it possible to ALWAYS use the latest SumatraPDF application (.exe)!
Note: The version no. can be seen in the tool tip.
- (5) %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF64.exe
The most recent file of SumatraPDF, currently "SumatraPDF-3.4.6-64.exe" has been copied to the "SumatraPDF" folder
and renamed to "SumatraPDF64.exe".
Note: The version no. can be seen in the tooltip.
- (6) %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF-settings.txt
The OWN settings for the renamed files SumatraPDF.exe and SumatraPDF64.exe are saved in this file.

The TCSumatraPDF plugin gets everything it needs regarding SumatraPDF from this folder:
%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF\
- (9) Please note the information in these files:
- %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\Readme.txt
- %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\sumatrapdf.sample.ini
- (1) Renaming the "SumatraPDF" folder
- The TCSumatraPDF plugin SHOULD now be called, eg Ctrl+Q 'Quick View Panel' -> sumatrapdf OR F3: Lister -> Lister (sumatrapdf).
Reason: In the "wincmd.ini" file, in the [ListerPlugins] section, the line "#_detect="MULTIMEDIA & (EXT="AI"|..." is created
below the line "#=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.wlx".
# = digit, i.e. it is the position where the TCSumatraPDF plugin is located under Configuration > Lister plugins (.WLX).
Plugin order counting starts at 0 (zero) and processing of the plugins is done by Total Commander
from TOP (e.g. 0 ... %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.wlx) to BOTTOM.
- Since the TCSumatraPDF plugin is still in the last place under Configuration > Lister Plugins (.WLX),
it is advisable to position this further up (keyword "plugin order <from top to bottom>").
This means, for example, BEFORE other lister plugins that can also display PDF files, such as the TCIrfanView plugin,
but do not have the same quality for PDF previews as the TCSumatraPDF plugin.
- Menu "Configuration" > Options... > Plugins > Lister-Plugins (.WLX) > click on button "Configure" >
At the bottom left, BEFORE the "Add" button are the buttons ▲ "Arrow up" and ▼ "Arrow down".
(The arrow keys are currently difficult to visually locate in both normal and dark modes). >
Position the cursor on the line "%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.wlx MULTIMEDIA &" >
Position this plugin in the desired position by clicking on the "arrow-up" button several times >
OK, OK > Restart Total Commander, eg with the command: CM_EXIT 1.
Select "Define view method by file type..." (this method will overrule the "Plugin order <top to bottom>").
Example 5 under point 8. explains in detail how this works.
- Then restart Total Commander
- Menu "Configuration" > Options... > Plugins > Lister-Plugins (.WLX) > click on button "Configure" >
- SETUP IS COMPLETE and after Ctrl+Q 'Quick View Panel' -> sumatrapdf OR F3: Lister -> Lister (sumatrapdf)
a preview of a PDF file should be displayed!

Rules for processing plugins in Total Commander (without claim to completeness)
- "Define view method by file type..." is run first, BEFORE Lister plugins (.WLX) -
Order (processing of the plugins from top to bottom: see point 8., example 5).
The big advantage here is that I can set a file type for which a specific lister plugin should show the preview -> see: Picture-2.
Examples:- PDF: TCSumatraPDF Plugin + SumatraPDF. I could use a total of 6 lister plugins for previewing PDF files,
However, I choose this plugin for various reasons. - JPG: I have several lister plugins available for previewing JPG files, but I choose this plugin
because this plugin, apart from a very good preview, additionally for a large number of file extensions
(e.g. due to IrfanView plugins) offers a preview.
If in "Lister: View methods by file type" for a file extension,
e.g. *.pdf [by mistake] several Lister plugins have been defined,
e.g. *.pdf SumatraPDF.wlx ... and ... slister.wlx64 then the principle
"First come, first serve" applies, i.e. the plugin which is first
in the plugin processing from top to bottom is executed -> see: Picture-3.
- PDF: TCSumatraPDF Plugin + SumatraPDF. I could use a total of 6 lister plugins for previewing PDF files,
- If there is NO definition for a file type under "Define view method by file type...",
then under Configuration > Settings... > Plugins > Lister Plugins (.WLX) > Configure >
the lister plugins are processed sequentially from TOP to BOTTOM by Total Commander,
namely after F3: Lister and if you then press the number 4 [several times] -> see: Picture-1.
After running the last plugin below (in last place) and if you keep pressing the number 4,
then it starts again with the first plugin that can display the preview
(similar to an endless loop). The Lister window can normally be closed with the ESC key.
- Note: If you do NOT get a preview for a file extension with Ctrl+Q, then I think it's a good idea to
press F3: and call up Lister and press the number 4 there [several times] to get a preview with another plugin,
instead of doing this by pressing Ctrl+Q,Tab, 4 [several times] - (then you have even more options).
- "Define view method by file type..." is run first, BEFORE Lister plugins (.WLX) -
Test Scenario, Lister Plugins (.WLX), Plugin Order, Images
For the plugins listed below, the "TCSumatraPDF Plugin" should be called first after F3: Lister -> Plugin No. 0,
i.e. "Lister (sumatrapdf)" should be displayed in the title bar of the Lister window before the path including the file name.
Then you should be able to switch to the next plugin with the number 4 key (press it several times), which in this case is No. 1.
As a rule, the plugin changes (after pressing the number 4 several times) would be carried out in this order: 1,2,3,4,5,6,0,1...
But since with Plugin 6 (TC IrfanView 2.59) "IrfanView displays the PDF file!" is executed, after pressing the number 4
can no longer be switched to plugin 0, i.e. at this point it is finally over with the plugin changes for this PDF file.
Lister Plugins (.WLX) - Order (on my PC) concerning PDF files.
The lister plugins below can display PDF files (partly with different quality compared to other lister plugins).

has an erroneous behavior.
I.e. the preview is still possible after F3: Lister (slister), but after that it is only possible in the Lister window
to change via the "Plugins" menu and selection of another Lister plugin, which can also display PDF files.
For example, these lister plugins are available to me: SumatraPDF; uLister; IrfanView;
pdfview (low image quality and e.g. Ghostscript 9.56.1 required).
After selecting one of the plugins mentioned, the Lister window can be closed again with the ESC key.

- sLister x86 - error (digit 4, ESC key).
- sLister x86, x64 - Bookmarks in PDF files are not recognized reliably at all.

(Questions and answers)
- Error message: "I can't find SumatraPDF.exe, SumatraPDF64.exe it by the path specified in the file sumatrapdf.ini".
This error message occurs when using TC x86 and in %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF\
the file "SumatraPDF.exe" does not exist.
Solution: Copy the latest 32-bit version of SumatraPDF, which is currently "SumatraPDF-3.4.6-32.exe" to the
folder "SumatraPDF" and rename the file to "SumatraPDF.exe".
- TC x64 and SumatraPDF.exe x86 (without SumatraPDF64.exe): Does NOT work either!
It requires the latest 64-bit version of SumatraPDF, which is currently "SumatraPDF-3.4.6-64.exe" to copy in the
"SumatraPDF" folder and rename the file to "SumatraPDF64.exe".
Therefore both files (SumatraPDF.exe, SumatraPDF64.exe) should be present in this folder!
- README: Please search these files for troubleshooting information.
- "Readme.txt" -> %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\Readme.txt
- sumatrapdf.sample.ini -> %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\sumatrapdf.sample.ini
- Bookmarks are NOT displayed in TCSumatraPDF. Why?
- It is possible that the PDF file has no bookmarks at all.
The best way to check this is to call up the PDF file in an application, e.g.
%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\SumatraPDF_Installation\SumatraPDF.exe, etc. - There may be in the own %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF-settings.txt file
that this entry is not present: ShowToc = true ... so an addition is necessary.
See: https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/settings/settings3-4-6.html - The "pdfview" and "IrfanView" plugins currently cannot display bookmarks.
Note on the "IrfanView" plugin: Navigation is possible with the 4 arrow keys and turning the mouse wheel.
- It is possible that the PDF file has no bookmarks at all.
- Unexpected result(s) when selecting the plugin or error message due to plugin order
- Example: The PDF file is displayed eg with sLister instead of TCSumatraPDF (unexpected result).
The sLister plugin shows the preview for PDF files, although TCSumatraPDF is BEFORE in the plugin order
the sLister plugin was ranked.
Reason: For PDF files, the sLister plugin was defined in "Define view method by file type..." AND
this setting overrides the plugin order from top to bottom.
Solution: Delete the entry in "Define view method by file type..." OR change it to the TCSumatraPDF plugin.
After that, the plugin order applies (from top to bottom), i.e. the plugin that can display PDF files is executed.
It is therefore important that TCSumatraPDF Plugin is ranked before other plugins,
which can display PDF files, because otherwise it could be that e.g. the IrfanView plugin,
which is on top of the TCSumatraPDF plugin displays the PDF file (because it's capable of that too).
Note: The entry in "Define view method by file type..." overrules the plugin order
(see pictures: Links can also be found in the link collection at the bottom).
- Following example for previous point (changing the plugin order leads to a problem):
%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCIrfanView\IrfanView.wlx MULTIMEDIA & ext="JPG"|ext=... --> above the plugin --> ...
%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\EMLView\EMLView.wlx EXT="EML" | EXT="MSG"
In this case, this error message appears when you try to preview Outlook .MSG files:
"IrfanView
ABC.msg : Can't read file header !
Unknown file format, empty/damaged file or file not found !"
Solution: Position the "IrfanView" plugin below the "EMLView" plugin OR set the
Plugin "EMLView" for the file type .MSG in "Define view method by file type...". - In "Define view method by file type..." for a single file extension, eg *.pdf several lister plugins were defined.
Solution: Delete *.pdf for the other Lister plugins and leave only one entry, eg for the TCSumatraPDF plugin.
- Example: The PDF file is displayed eg with sLister instead of TCSumatraPDF (unexpected result).
- Alt+Shift+F3 to view the file and then ESC to close? This will open Lister without plugins.
- Are you using the latest version of Total Commander (including beta version, RC = release candidate)?
The Total Commander version no. can be queried via the "Help" > "About Total Commander..." menu.
For inquiries in the forum please indicate the following:- TC Version No., 32 bit and/or 64 bit
- Settings file(s)
- Program file
- TC 11.00b10 (x64) [64bit]
- C:\totalcmd\wincmd.ini; C:\totalcmd\wcx_ftp.ini (if available)
- C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE
- Are you using the latest version of the TCSumatraPDF Plugin, currently "TCSumatraPDF Plugin 1.4"?
- What is the content (exact specification!) of %COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\TCSumatraPDF\sumatrapdf.ini?
- TC_clean_fresh.ini - Own settings in the "wincmd.ini" file are NOT modified(!)
Before you make a forum query or to isolate a problem, you should test with a fresh.ini (any_name.ini).
Start fresh.ini in the Total Commander command line- In the opened TC window, press the right arrow key to position the cursor on the TC command line.
[If the TC command line is not displayed, you can also create a corresponding link (.lnk) for this purpose]. - Type the following text, then press ENTER:
%COMMANDER_PATH%\totalcmd.exe /n /i="%temp%\fresh.ini" ........ <<-- Total Commander x86! (32bit)
or
%COMMANDER_PATH%\totalcmd64.exe /n /i="%temp%\fresh64.ini" ... <<-- Total Commander x64! (64bit)- %COMMANDER_PATH% ... is the location where the "TOTALCMD.EXE" or "TOTALCMD64.EXE" files are located.
[In the TC command line type the following to go to this location: cd %COMMANDER_PATH% ... then press <ENTER>]. - F1 - Help - Command line parameters --- Parameters: /n
Opens in any case a new Total Commander window
(overrides the settings in the configuration dialog to allow only one copy of Total Commander at a time) - F1 - Help - Command line parameters --- Parameters: /i
/i=name.ini
Use a different INI file name.ini instead of wincmd.ini to save settings (see also: INI file description).
totalcmd.exe /i=fresh.ini ... Use fresh.ini instead of wincmd.ini for all settings.
- %COMMANDER_PATH% ... is the location where the "TOTALCMD.EXE" or "TOTALCMD64.EXE" files are located.
- Then type in the following in the TC command line and press the ENTER key: cd %temp%
The "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\" folder is called up and contains the "fresh.ini" file. - IMPORTANT!
BEFORE each new test execution, it should be checked whether it still makes sense to keep the contents of the "fresh.ini" file
or whether this file should be deleted BEFORE each new test in order NOT to influence the next test results!
- In the opened TC window, press the right arrow key to position the cursor on the TC command line.
- Which Windows Version are you using? Windows 11, Windows 10, other Windows version?
Example: Windows 11 Pro (x64) Version 22H2 (OS build Build 22621.1928)
The Windows version can be determined as follows:- Press Windows logo key + pause key simultaneously (System -> Info);
- msinfo32.exe (System Information) -> enter "msinfo32.exe" without quotes, eg in the TC command line and press the ENTER key.
- Error message: "I can't find SumatraPDF.exe, SumatraPDF64.exe it by the path specified in the file sumatrapdf.ini".
