Thanks a lot for!
I have tried it, the wlx imagine can't view *.webp, your plugin can, It's good but It's too huge and can't replace imagine and ulister, at last I still use IrfanView + imagine to solve this.
Its size is so huge, unless it can replace most of the current multimedia plug-ins to make people interested in using it, this is just a small suggestion of mine.
At present, regarding the thumbnail and viewer, I use the following plug-ins and programs to solve it:
Icaros
Imagine
ulister
vlister
IrfanView
and etc
All of this wlx plugins add up to the size 370MB....After all, I still have to consider the portability of TC.

That is the purpose of the plugin, to be an unique bridge for all multimedia, using internal code + ffmpeg + irfanview (and maybe mpv a bit later).

After years, I was fed up running after one plugin for this multimedia type, one plugin for that one, checking if i got codecs installed or not, fighting bugs, waiting for author update and bug fixes, ect...
Once i got the courage and motivation, I just wrote this one for my own needs.

About the huge size I think it is possible to compile your own ffpmeg, or simply compress the folder to NTFSC using the microsoft tool: compact.exe

I have this problem where, no matter what I do or try, mp4 files never display thumbnails. But stupidly enough, if I rename them to *.mpg or *.avi or even *.mp3, then their thumbnails are perfectly displayed... how can I fix this?

This is my config:

Windows 10

If I use the "Explorer method (OLE2)" then Total Commander crashes. :?

Thumbnails work perfectly in Windows Explorer.

Hello, thank you for providing such a useful software! Help me improve my work efficiency, solve the problem I have been troubled, I really appreciate it. I tried to follow you and subscribe to your works on pateon, but I don't know why payment always fails. Is there any other way to subscribe to and download the supporter version of mthumbs? Or pay in other ways. Hope to get your reply! I wish you a happy life!

Glad to hear it is useful :)

If you cannot or do not want to use patreon, check the "mthumbs.readme.txt" file, at the "Supporting my work" section, you will find the instructions to get the current supporter version without using patreon.

Good day
I don't see MP4 thumbnails (= empty field in cm_SrcThumbs mode). But the AVI thumbnails show fine. Where did I make a mistake ?? - I have Total Commander 10.0.
Thank you for answer.

What is it? It appears in the internal browser on the folders after installing mthumbs.wlx.
I don't want to see it there:
DIRECTORY
(Handled by mthumbs WLX plugin to speed up QuickView browsing)
To disable directories support:
mhthumbs.ini --> ListerDirectorySupport=0

Edit the mthumbs.ini file that can be found in the mthumbs's folder, then change the value ListerDirectorySupport to 0

This will be done probably in next version.
Any news on that yet?

And what about cb7 support? :D

Added today the %COMMANDER_PATH% environment support.

Did a lot of major changes since the last version release, but still no cb7 support yet :s

So its good news and bad news, eh? :)

another question, would it be possible to add something like ffmpegPath (chars)= for the needed dlls too (ie unRarPath (chars)=, unRar64Path (chars)=, 7zipPath (chars)=,)?

thanks for your great work!

I don't think so.

But you still can create symbolic links if the file system is NTFS:
For example, for a relative symbolic link when UnRAR.dll was moved into a DLL\ folder :

Code: Select all

t:\wincmd\wlx\mthumbs\dll>mklink ..\UnRAR.dll DLL\UnRAR.dll
If it worked, you should see the returned line:

Code: Select all

symbolic link created for ..\UnRAR.dll <<===>> DLL\UnRAR.dll
