Exclude file extension from quick view

[tcOne]

Hello,

is there a way to exclude file extensions from being displayed through plugins in the Quick view (Ctrl-Q) panel?
Case in point, Imagine viewer (http://totalcmd.net/plugring/imagine.html) crashes with some .psd files and takes Total Commander with it, i.e. TC closes down.
As far as I can tell, Imagine itself does not have any such exclusion setting.
I see in TC's settings file (wincmd.ini) that this plugin uses the detection setting of detect="MULTIMEDIA", whereas others have only extensions listed (detect="ext="XLS" | ext="XLSX"...) and others have something like detect="MULTIMEDIA& (EXT="PDF" |...
I suppose I could list all needed extensions for Imagine, except for psd, but was wondering whether there's something like MULTIMEDIA-- (ext="PSD"... or would be easy to implement and maybe somewhat useful.

Kind regards

Detection string which you need is this case is:

Code: Select all

"MULTIMEDIA & EXT!="PSD""

note "!" after EXT, this is for exlude.

Amazing! Christian has thought of everything.
Thank you very much Gral. I was not able to find that information in the help file.

Kind regards

It's described in Lister Plugin Guide help file - https://plugins.ghisler.com/lsplugins/listplughelp2.1_chm.zip

I've had this trouble with Imagine plug-in (2003) at almost the same date this month.
I'll have to track what I was looking at so that I can add an exclusion.
Win10's Reliability History cited Imagine as the culprit, down the TC chain.

It's a pity TC's plug-ins have grown so old. I suspect they're not as functional as they could be.
Android seems to have multiple app upgrades every few days. Yes, that's Android, I know ...etc.

What do you mean by "(2003)"?
Latest Imagine is from January 2020!
You can get it from official plugins page - https://www.ghisler.com/plugins.htm#lister or from author - http://www.nyam.pe.kr/dev/imagine/

That's extraordinary, Gral. I could have sworn I saw 2003 somewhere the other day.
(If only the configuration boxes would stay wider so that we could easily see the long path names - and there weren't four of them: distinctions without a different from a user's point of view.)
I see 1.1.1 is even February '20 now.
Thanks.

That's interesting. I didn't know Imagine was a photo browser - somewhat like XnView MP at first glance.

However, I was referring to the Imagine plug-in/add-on for TC
https://www.ghisler.com/plugins.htm#lister

TBH, I've forgotten what that Imagine plug-in is for; I thought it was for viewing graphics and videos, primarily in Quick View Ctrl-Q.
I must research.

BTW, in the same way that Nir Sofer at www.nirsoft.net has a page with EVERY piece of his software on it - would it be a good idea to have a page with ALL of the www.ghisler.com plug-ins on it? IMO the distinction between Tools Packers Plug-ins File system Content Lister Other usefuls is a distinction without a difference - from a user's point of view. Once more.

Or - is the Lister page of plug-ins actually, in fact, ALL the plug-ins, as I hope for?

...but that's for another thread.

There are some misunderstandings here
1. Latest version is dated 2 january 2020 - look at "About" info dialog window.
IMAGINE.DLL (real engine) did not change since 2 january 2020, only IMAGINE.EXE (loader) was compiled later, so not real change (and exactly 1 year old now)
2. Imagine starts as a FLI/FLC animation (not video!) and graphic viewer with single plugin file - FLIC.WLX.
3. Note that all software on Nirsoft is developed by Nir Sofer, while TC plugins are written by various authors.
Ghisler publish on his page only verified, clean and useful plugins.

Phred,
There is also www.totalcmd.net .
