Sample content plugin filesys updated to Unicode

[ghisler(Author)]

Hi!

I have updated my sample content plugin "filesys" to Unicode. It uses the second method to add Unicode support via two separate plugin files, one Ansi and one Unicode. You can download it here:

https://plugins.ghisler.com/beta/wdx_filesys.zip
Source code:
https://plugins.ghisler.com/beta/wdx_filesys_src.zip

It contains mainly the fields from Total Commander's internal 'tc' plugin, except for file comments, plus 2 new fields:
1. Random numbers, e.g. for sorting mp3 files randomly
2. A name field where the user can choose to cut off the first x characters, which can be useful for sorting

2ghisler(Author),

I can't seem to get [=filesys.versionnr] to show anything but [=filesys.versionstring] works fine. Did I miss something?

And how do you load the unicode plugin, or does it automatically load as it is needed?

[ghisler(Author)]

1. The field filesys.versionnr is (for demonstration purposes) an on demand field. The field is shown only when you press Spacebar, or use the new command
cm_LoadAllOnDemandFields
or
cm_LoadSelOnDemandFields

2. If there are both a .uwdx and .wdx file, TC will try to load the .uwdx first on NT-based systems. If that failes, TC will revert to the .wdx plugin.

That explains it then, thanks.

@ Boofo,
without any wdx's installed, TC can do: [=tc.versionnr]

Since current custom level of directory depth in Search dialog is limited to 100, I suggest to add the same field to internal tc and filesys content plugin allowing to enter any custom directory depth level.

Have a small problem with the filesys plugin:

[=filesys.CutNameStart.#] :: has an odd limit, it only works for the number range 1-20.

[ghisler(Author)]

The plugin uses the "Units" option here. Unfortunately you can only use values listed in the plugin, which is currently 0..20.

Suggestion below applies also to internal "tc" content plugin.
TC already have an ability to display short 8.3 names that can be stored on some file systems.
I ask to add a field to plugin to get True/False result on whether file has 8.3 name or not.
Indeed, since AFAIK technically file may have only 8.3 name
(Explorer will show it, since there is no long one),
similar field True/False field for long names is also worth to be added.
