It's OK now, thanks !
- I tested the most with ICLs and IclView, no problem.
- Works too with SG-Viewer and Imagine…
- I have not a lot of Lister plugins, but I've to check with the others later, I ought stop for this moment…

About shortcuts…
Hello Alexei,
Thanks for your job... it's a master piece !
Just one little annoyance : "Next file"/"Previous file" (Ctrl+PgDn/Ctrl+PgUp)
It should be nice if you could replace this by "Next file"/"Previous file" (SpaceBar/BackSpace) like many other programmes do.
TIA
Friendly,
Paul

Thanks...
But it's not a masterpiece, because I just found very strange bug with plugins loading...
I saw two programs: TC (N/P keys) and View64 (Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn keys). User suggested to make it like in View64...

Just for information :
Here some programmes that use SpaceBar/BackSpace :
XnView
UniView
Imagine
FuturixImager
IrfanView
ACDSee
...
Maybe you could make it configurable ?
On one hand, I guess that it should be desirable to continue the opening of the plugins -those able to display the current file- using "7"Alpha again, on the other hand, we miss a shortcut to come back to the viewer itself, this is impossible currently

"Autocopy to clipboard" option: I don't want to make it. It's weird.
2Vansumsen
But note: if you opened DOC file by cycling, Word will catch focus and pressed Space/Bksp will edit document.
That's not good! What to do?
What is "shortcut to come back to the viewer itself"?

Agree: cycling through plugins is planned.On one hand, I guess that it should be desirable to continue the opening of the plugins -those able to display the current file- using "7"Alpha again, on the other hand, we miss a shortcut to come back to the viewer itself, this is impossible currently
What is "shortcut to come back to the viewer itself"?
2Vansumsen
Note 2 about mmedia.wlx and similar: they are cathing focus also, and Space means "Start file playback".
So cycling may be finished by playback of file.

Next beta:
- option "Plugins have higher priority than internal viewers";
- key 7 or Ctrl+R cycles throught available plugins;
- paths to Total Commander files are auto-detected;
- option in Viewer.ini "FileNextSpace" (0/1): use Ctrl+PgDn/Ctrl+PgUp or Space/BackSp for "Next/Previous file" command [for Vansumsen]

Ah ! Great !

Hello Alexeï !
- That is great ! Thank you !
a shortcut should be useful…
- But if the cycle includes the viewer itself, no problem, it's not needed…
Kind regards,

- I guess that Paul means : whether the viewer itself is not included in the cycle with "7" or "Ctrl+R",What is "shortcut to come back to the viewer itself"?

2 behaviours…
2Alextp
Hello Alexeï !
• I just got it now, I check that mail-box once a day only…
• I explain again :
- Currently, we are bound to use TWO shortcuts in order to cycle the plugins and to come back to the viewer itself.
- Comparing to the built-in Lister, this is less handy, since with F3 you need to use "4" only for all. Hence, we must remember two different behaviours for a similar function.
- So : either "4" could work for all - like in F3, I'm talking especially of image-files- or "7" could include the viewer itself, like "4" does with F3…
• I go to test the 1.4.0 stable now, I'd no time enough yet to do…

Ok, I got it now.
Well, I don't think this shortcut (cycling thought plugins + internal viewers) will be useful. And it's hard to implement.
Not useful, because if you installed e.g. media.wlx, you don't need internal WMP viewer anymore. If you installed IEView.wlx, you don't need MSIE viewer anymore. Etc.
And hard to impelement, because i don't know, which internal viewers (RTF/MSIE/Images/WMP) are suitable for opened filetype.
For example: for .jpg - we need to cycle through (plugins + Images + maybe MSIE). For .avi - through (plugins + WMP). For .rtf - through (plugins + RTF + maybe MSIE). You see, that this becomes a complex algorithm...
I have a girl-cat here.

Here's to-do list, for whose who interested. Done items are colored.
To-do list:
minor:
done:
- Search: search for Hex
- Search: special chars allowed: \n \r \t \\
- Search progress is shown and can be interrupted by Esc
- to fix: correct work of plugins hotkeys
- Text modes: option "Auto-copy text to clipboard"
major:
- Implement Text mode without using RichEdit.
RichEdit will be used only for displaying RTF.
So unlimited file sizes (> 4Gb) will be allowed in Text mode.
- "Auto-refresh file when changed on disk" option
- "Follow log tail" option in Text modes
- Multi-language support
- installer; Explorer context menu extension
