I could add a function MatchGetOptions or so where the dll tells TC what it needs. So far I see the following possible options:
1. Allow user to type search string even if it gives empty result
2. Pass raw search string to dll (no * in front/after)
3. Pass full file name (with path) to the dll

Anything else?

Sounds good. Else: columns. I believe it would be best to put a checkbox in the dialog to pass names / everythig to the plugin.

Gr8 gr8 your my Hero! Thanks :!: :!: :!:

No prefiltering by TC would be a nice addition. It will prevent some rarely strange filtering. (would be same priority like your 3 points IMO, because it will restrict the filter behavior)

Something like using another function giving additional content plugin informations/columns would be a nice feature. But not as important like the others. It could be done external.

Edit:

I think this should be decided by the user. I like this option very much. Perhaps move it to the "wincmd.ini"? Otherwise I would make it adjustable in my program.

Thanks for the plugin Samuel,

one little request though: Could you add some version information to the DLL? This would make updates a little easier.

Nice, little tool! Thank you. In fact, quick search filtering is the only new TC7.5 feature I currently use.

Hope to see the tcmatch.dll also distributed along with the addons of petermad's extended menus for TC 7.50.

I dont know if this is a good idea. From my side he is allowed to, but bundling it there would raise the question: Why is Plugin xy not bundled with it. Also everytim I update my Tool he has to update his tool.
Only useful bundle of a plugin is to be bundled with TC itself. (Christian should decide this.) Just my 2 cents.

I agree with Samuel. If Petermad includes one add-on, he will have to invariably include others. The extended menu is a whole separate item from plugin-type add-ons, anyway.

And thank you for the update, sir. ;)

Petermad does not bundle plugins, but some additional files like Desktop.ini, wciconex.inc, lister.exe and wciconex.dll. There also used to be the crypto ZIP library WCMZIP32.DLL in there. In my opinion tcmatch.dll would also fit to his bundle wcmd_ext_eng.zip that by the way needs to be installed extra.

Thanks for adding version info. You could also add history to the package (not only to forum).

As good as this add-on is, it is still closer to a plugin than the menu files. I don't think it should be included in Petermad's Extended menus. Like Samuel said, Petermad would have to update the menu files every time there is a new release of this add-on. I doubt we'll see it bundled. It doesn't make sense to.

I edited my post above for clarity. ;)

I just was a week on Corfu with my wife. So I couldnt change the dll earlier.

Updated first post: Version 1.1 is available. (mainly supporting TC 7.5 pb5 changes - Thanks Christian)

Code: Select all

Version 1.1
 - Added the introduced function "MatchGetSetOptions" from Total Commander 7.5 public beta 5
 - Drop support for Total Commander 7.5 public beta 4
 - Added: always override internal search
 - Added: always remove leading/trailing asterisk
 - Removed workarounds needed for Total Commander 7.5 public beta 4
 - Added history to the readme
 - Added new option to ini: "allow_empty_result=0/1"
Perhaps the next thing will be filesize, filedate and content plugins.
What do you think about the syntax for it. (in the ini and in the search)
