Posted: Thu May 17, 2012 6:29 am Post subject: Plugin pages updated on ghisler.com (64-bit) |
|
|
Today I have updated the plugin list on our homepage to include the 64-bit version when available:
http://www.ghisler.com/plugins.htm
Please let me know if I missed any 64-bit versions of the plugins on this page! Btw, I also added some new plugins like my MediaAudio2 plugin, where the existing plugin isn't available in 64-bit.
I'm using a MySql database with some self-written php scripts now to generate the page in English, German, and French. This makes it much easier to add and/or update plugins, and to change the layout of the list.
Please write in this thread if you have any suggestions how to make the list more readable. _________________ Author of Total Commander

Hello, Christian.
Thanks a lot for updating your plugins webpage and for including the existing 64-bit plugins.
From my point of view it would be easier to see at a glance whether a plugin is available as 32-bit only or as 64-bit as well if there were 2 additional columns, 32-bit and 64-bit, and if the available edition(s) were ticked for each plugin.
Kind regards,

Yes. And I suggest to add a column for source file and put date behind version number:

Perhaps author in front?:

Interesting suggestion, but it doesn't handle the most common case where both plugins are in the same package... _________________ Author of Total Commander

That's simple - give both marks with same link to get 2 identical links for 32 and 64. |

| Why not simply merge the cells in this case? |

Yes, that was the idea.

Bad idea. It doesn't look good and you can not see at a glance whether a plugin is available as 32-bit or 64-bit or both. See:

Add third column for it:
32bit: download only 32bit version.
64bit: download only 64bit version.
32+64bit: download both in one. _________________ █████ Author of Ultra TC Editors

Again, that makes it less clear. See:
http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/8817/tcplugins4.png
Alternatively one column could be used containing a list of available versions. The versions could be represented by codes instead of check marks, then it is no longer necessary to remember the meaning of each check mark. See:
http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/5806/tcplugins5.png
In the multiple column approach also codes could be used instead of check marks. A combined 32-bit/64-bit installer could be indicated by marking it with "*". See:

I have now implemented something similar. I plan to replace the texts "32 bit", "64 bit" and "32+64 bit" by small graphics which also contain a down pointing arrow symbolizing the download. Unfortunately I'm very bad at drawing, so maybe one of you has a good suggestion for those images? The 32bit and 64bit image together should have the same width as the 32+64bit image alone. _________________ Author of Total Commander

may be something like this template?
32:
| 32 bit |
64:
| 64 bit |
32+64 (2in1):
| 32 bit + 64 bit |
32 and 64 (diffrent):
| 32 bit | 64 bit |
Here's we get in useful form same-sized image. |
