Hi,

the URL for the project seems to be:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext4tc/

First remark:
See http://www.ghisler.ch/wiki/index.php/Plugins_Automated_Installation for automated installation of plug-ins. This way you do not have to manually install it.

Second remark:
It crashes when starting/opening the virtual folder...

Really thx for support and testing. Could You give more pices of information?
On which hard disk and partition do You have installed ext4 fs? I understand that You go to ext4Plugin virtual folder, then You get list of partition(s) with ext4 system and when You select one of them, got crash? Am I wright. I would be thankful if I send me inode stat of this folder (debug2fs /dev/sdX, and then stat / ).

I get the following error on Windows 7 Professional x64 with ext4tc 0.16 when trying to open the "ext4plugin" virtual folder for the first time while running TC as administrator. Running it as regular user, nothing happens at all when I try to open the ext4plugin folder, but no error message. Also nothing happens as admin after dismissing the error message.

To the plugin author: The error seems to occur within the function FsInit. Apparently your plugin failed to load a dll, so the functions you try to call are all 0000000.

[sgp]

I tried the new x32 package updated 08.11.2011 on totalcmd.net but it failed installing the plugin. The error message said "couldn't start the plugin, maybe missing dll?" - So does this plugin need other dlls?

[ghisler(Author)]

You can use the plugin fileinfo to find out what dlls other plugins need:

Visual Studio C++ 2010 Runtime libraries are required. Alternatively you can use this /MT recompile.
By the way, plugin has plenty of memory leaks.

TY for recompiling it and for your BTW. Are there alternative cross-linux solutions for TC that you know of?

Try Ext2fs https://plugins.ghisler.com/fsplugins/ex2fs.zip it only supports ext2, ext3 and Reiser fs (it doesn't support ext4 which is default on most newer distros) but it has complete unicode support, while ext4 plugin has ext4 support it's an ansi only plugin so if you have unicode file-names on your Lin partition they'll come up garbled, I wish someone could merge these two plugins.

This is my wish, too.

Can you add support for w2k, because it isn't working:/



@edit:
I have confirmed yesterday together with tbeu that to support plugin at w2k it need to be build max vs2008, for win98 support max vs2005, you can check this solution

[iana]

Yes the official build from sf.net for 0.16 is build with vc 10 and is dynamically linked with msvcrt100.dll and msvcp100.dll as there is no vc 10 support for 2000 here's a statically linked build (compiled with vc 9 I didn't edit any source file just compiled the source with /MT instead of /MD) https://rapidshare.com/files/2466602164/wfx_ext4Plugin-0.16-vc9-static.rar it's a bit bigger as it's a static build (~97k instead of ~24k) but it should work without any problems on 2k.

Maybe the author can supply a static build witch should run on 2k eg SumatraPDF is build with vc10 but as it's staticly linked it doesn't need the vc10 runtime and is supported on 2k systems.

ps. what's the official guideline on compiling tc plugins (there are too many Visual Studio runtime's msvcr70.dll,71,80,90,100 only vc 6 (and mingw) link with the system runtime msvcrt.dll, too many plugins loading different runtimes it is dll hell instead of speeding up an application it's just hell, maybe using Windows Driver Developer Kit witch allows linking to the system crt?
