"Execute" in Synchronize dirs

[Hacker]

Hi everyone,
What do you think about a possibility to "run" a file from the Synchronize dirs window? I missed it recently when trying to compare two pictures.
(And before you say "Lister - IrfanView" I will say "Animated GIFs." )

TIA

Well,
now, you can use WLXFlic lister plugin http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=1115
It supports animated gifs, but... you must turn off using IrfanView for that moment (fortunately you don't have to close the lister and open again - just only change this option and it works)

LOL OK, I give up on trying to foresee things. What about files for which there is no Lister plugin?

It's time to write such a plugin

I often use synchronization but I've never had such a need (to run the files) but maybe it could be useful for somebody.
It doesn't seem to be hard to implement such a possibility, IMHO.

Although i don't use TC's Synchronize dirs function, i believe it is a useful feature. The program i'm currently using has that ability (which i use often). See URL below.

At the moment, I cannot support GIF internally because of the LZW patent. This is planned for next year. However, TC 6.0 will allow multimedia plugins even when Irfanview is used as a converter. Currently Irfanview takes precedence over all plugins.

GIF was only a bad example... I wanted to ask if it would be possible to "run" files directly from the Synchornize dirs window...

The Unisys patent expired on 20 June 2003 in the USA, but it does not expire in most of Europe until 18 June 2004, in Japan until 20 June 2004 and in Canada until 7 July 2004.
