TCMediaInfo after filter64dir

Post by *KozakMak »

F3 on video file = opens Lister with TCMediaInfo
pressing '4' = switch to Lister video player

QUESTION: how to change the order and make Lister video player be first ?

E.g., explicitly defining the view mode for the video files in question.
For instance, for the .mp4 file type:
  • TC (menu) - "Configuration" (menu entry) - "Options..." (drop-down menu entry)
  • "Configuration" (child window) - (in the left pane list, below "Operation" entry) - "Edit/View" (list entry)
  • "Edit/View" (right pane) - "[Configure internal viewer...]" (button)
  • "Configure lister" (child window) - "Multimedia" (tab) - "[Define view mode by file type]" (button)
  • "Lister: view methods by file type" (child window) - "[Add...]" (button)
    Type *.mp4 in the input field - "[OK]" (button)
  • "Lister: view methods by file type", "Please choose default view modes:" (child window)
    "[+]" (button) - "4 Image/Multimedia >" drop-down menu entry - "4i Internal" (side menu top section entry)
    or
    Type 4i in the input field
  • "[OK]","[OK]","[OK]","[OK]" (button) in all related dialogs
or from the Lister window itself:
  • Lister (menu) - "Options" (menu entry) - "Configure..." (drop-down menu entry)
  • "Configure lister" (child window) - "Multimedia" (tab) - "[Define view mode by file type]" (button)
    and then from there as above...
You can put there a bunch of those all at once, e.g., *.mp4 *.mov *.avi, etc.

Edit:
tl;dr: And here's a more than illustrative image on the subject from honorable petermad:

In "Please choose default view modes:" you can choose multiple modes, they will be separated by commas. For example, 4i,pluginname1,pluginname2
This way you can choose which plugin will come next when you press '4'.
