Plugin Problem: e.g. ''file iso.wcx not found''

Post by *Darwin4Ever »

I'm using TC 9.12 as a portable app with the ini-files in the program-directory

In the plugin configuration I have for every plugin something like
192,%COMMANDER_PATH%\PlugIns\WCX\iso\iso.wcx

Despite the plugins are located at the locations specified underneath %COMMANDER_PATH%, I always get an error like "file iso.wcx not found"

I thought %COMMANDER_PATH% should to be resolved dynamically to the path from where TC is launched.
Especially for a portable app this important when used on another PC.

What Is going wrong ?

Hi and welcome!

Right, that is the case.

I don't know.

Maybe you have two TC folders?
Test:
- Open your TC
- slow click into the address bar
- write or paste: %COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wcx\
- press Enter key, you are in the current used plugin folder
- take a look if 'iso' folder is there


Also see menu Help > About TC > INI-file location

Test

Post by *Darwin4Ever »

When I use the address bar, TC goes to the correct location of %COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wcx\

When I use the command line in TC, Windows explorer opens the correct location of %COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wcx\

In both cases I can see the "iso" folder

It looks like you have put %COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wcx\ in the Command line field (below the file panels), not the Address bar (also known as the Current directory bar) wich is just on top of the file panels.

If you use the Command line you need to write: cd %COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wcx\

Indeed, I have seen that too and modified already my earlier reply

Thanks for the answer, but I do not understand.
You wrote like everything is fine now?!?




If not, I am guess: maybe there is a little misunderstanding?
The env var %COMMANDER_PATH% is only set and used by and inside TC itself.
(Test: run TC, next open CMD.exe, one time inside TC and one time in WindowsTM, and type 'set com' + enter key)

Sorry is there is a misunderstanding.

The tests that I did with %COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wcx\
(on the address-bar and on the command-line of TC) are all fine.

But when I go to Options - Plugins - Configure - Associate results in the error described

Thanks for clarifying!

That works for me with TC 9.12 (32-bit) on Win7 (64-bit)
with
iso.wcx 19.456 19.07.2011 13:40 ----



You have that problem with every WCX-plugin?
Or with every plugin?

Happening for all plugins
I found the reason

I'm using TC64 and the plugin's are 32-bit
When I do the same in my TC32 portable app, the error is not given.

However, the error which is given for those plugins in TC64, is confusing.
For some plugins there is also an 32bit-error given in TC64 when doing the associate

Seems I'll have find out which plugins are 32bit only and to search for 64bit equivalents of them.
