Does a 'Tiles' view exist? 🤔

[jesped]

Does Total Commander have a view similar to Explorer's 'Tiles' view?

If not native, maybe with a plugin or something?

Hi,

In my opinion, a similar view can be created as follows:

1. Menu "Show" > Separate Tree   (Ctrl+Shift+F8) > 1 (One For Both Panels)
2. Menu "Show" > Thumbnail view (Ctrl+Shift+F1) -OR- cm_SrcThumbs
3. Menu "Configuration" > Options... > Thumbnails > Show custom fields below thumbnails (e.g. image size):
   1. Movies

      Code: Select all

      [=mediainfowdx.FrameRate_Video]_[=mediainfo.frame size]_[=mediainfo.duration.h.m.s]_[=dirsizecalc.kb_MB_GB.kb_MB_GB]

   2. Pictures

      Code: Select all

      [=jpg-comment.Exif_Image_DateTime.D.M.Y h.m.s]_[=tc.size.bkMG]_[=tc.writedate.D.M.Y h:m:s]

You can use the HtmlView plugin to see the same view as Explorer in a QuickView panel:
See: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/tiles_view.png

The original download site for HtmlView 1.2.6: http://sites.google.com/site/htmlview/ does not seem to work anymore, but you can download it here:
https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/plugins/wlx_htmlview_1.2.6.zip

You will have to right-click the HtmlView panel and choose "View" -> "Tiles" to get the Tiles View.

Thanks, this looks like it, but I'm a bit lost here...

This is what I get:

When I do Lister -> HTMLview Plugin it works... but in a separated window

When I use Quickview... it shows a text from mthumbs on the right panel, and this turns into a preview of whatever is active on the left panel. This not at all what I want.

What I want is the Tiles view as an independant view (from whatever is on the left or any other panel) but integrated like the rest of the tabs on the right or left TC panels, not as a different window. How can I configure that?

Also, I don't see the ".." in the htmlview to go to the previous folder...

You might need to add EXT="" to the detection string for HtmlView in your [ListerPlugins] section - like for example this:

Code: Select all

8=%COMMANDER_PATH%\PLUGINS\wlx\HTMLView\HtmlView.wlx
8_detect="EXT="" | EXT="PDF" | FORCE"

And you might have to put HtmlView higher up in the list of Lister plugins.

And Quickview will only show the folder that the cursor is placed on in the opposite panel.

The closest you can get to that is using the Thumbnail view as Tuska describes here above.

Ah, I see. I'm already using the Thumbnail view, but that's very different, same as in Explorer.

I guess maybe I'm asking too much and being too nitpicky with details, but it's one of those things I really miss from Explorer.

Thanks anyway for your help, guys!
