modify processing order for PK_CAPS_BY_CONTENT plugins

Post by *liborm »

It would be nice to have an option to modify the order, in which the PK_CAPS_BY_CONTENT plugins are called for file which user wants to open with ctrl-pgdn. Including the internal unpackers.

Simple scenario - i want to see PE sections (custom plugin) of a self extracting ZIP archive.
Other scenario - there is a plugin called installation explorer (or something like this). I'd appreciate an easy way to choose whether inst. explorer or PE section viewer is used to open the file. (Installing and uninstalling the respective plugins is not a nice option.)

It would be better to have a command to call specific packer plugin for that purpose instead. So you would call PE plugin to open SFX as PE file, or install explorer to enter installer etc. One may create submenu with all available packer plugins once to choose desired one.

If you want to do this only for specific extensions, e.g. EXE, you can define an internal association for it. Then define a new verb, e.g. "open with packer xyz". The command would be **ext where "ext" is the default extension defined for that packer plugin.

Actually there is a lot of extensions that can contain PE format, so I'd prefer some more generic way, but thanks anyways for this solution.
