Thank you for your advice, I installed "cdocprop" and now I have this custom column "characters" which is number of characters in the document, I suppose. But the thing is that this column is empty. It actually does not count characters.

Hi,

The plug-in Office2007wdx_64 0.0.3.1 has two fields for "Characters":

Code: Select all

[=office2007.Characters]
[=office2007.CharactersWithSpaces]
... but .doc files are not supported!
... only .docx files are supported! (see: ReadMe.txt)

Hints:
- The document must be closed for the plugin to use the number of characters in the custom columns view.
- In any case, I would recommend that you do a few tests on the number of characters.
  The total number of characters did not give me correct results.

Hi, thanks, but why this cdocprop does not work? I can see it in "plugins" but when I add a new column it shows just empry column.

I do not know "cdocprop". Has "cdocprop" a ReadMe.txt?
Is that a plugin? Do you have a link?

Have it - please wait...

Sorry for the delay, had difficulties with the installation but now it works.

Custom columns view
Char Count [=cdocprop.Char Count]

CDocProp.ini
[Config]
;Title=CustomPropertyName
Title=Author
Characters=Char Count

I.e. the field contents (Title, Name) must be added to the file "CDocProp.ini" in order to be displayed in the custom columns view!
--> Only .doc files are supported!

--> The plugin CDocProp 1.10 can cause Total Commander to crash!

For some reason it started to show characters in .doc files after I moved totalcmd from one drive to another and set the root to plugins again.
BUT now I want to see number of characters in .docX for I usually work with this extension.

Plug-in Office2007wdx_64 0.0.3.1 supports .docx files *)
Plug-in CDocProp 1.10 supports .doc files
- as described above -

*) Addition, e.g.
wincmd.ini
[ContentPlugins]
30=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wdx\Office2007\Office2007.wdx
30_detect="EXT="DOCX"|EXT="XLSX"|EXT="PPTX"|EXT="PPSX""

Additional columns for file properties could now be set up,
without the need for an entry in the file "CDocProp.ini".


IMPORTANT:
For this plugin, click on "All plugins" when setting up the columns and then use the scroll bar,
to display the file properties of "cdocprop".

If you click on "cdocprop", Total Commander crashes!
==== cdocprop ==== | Properties
