TCSumatraPDF Plugin <-> sLister Plugin | SumatraPDF

Just out of interest:
Your main plugin for PDF files still seems to be sLister.
Is there any particular reason for this?

No, this thread in the Everything forum is no longer valid.
I now switched completely to the SumatraPDF plugin and removed SLister.
The entry in the Everything forum is now corrected

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I think the plugin is called "TCSumatraPDF"....

You are right, corrected.
Strange is that the plugin files are named SumatraPDF.

Could you please make it possible in TCSumatraPDF Plugin to press the number 8
after F3 Lister on a pdf file for the "8 Lister <Explorer>" view?

Currently, the view can only be accessed via the Lister "Options"... menu.

version newer than 3.4.6.
+ added processing of keys 1..8.
* internal changes.

Thank you very much for the new version 1.6 - especially for this addition: "added processing of keys 1..8."!
(I have never had a problem with "focus in quick view mode" in TCSumatraPDF - not even in version SumatraPDF-3.5.2).

The test was successful for me!
PDF files up to 70 MB were displayed in the Lister (sumatrapdf) without any delay.

Thanks again!

(I have never had a problem with "focus in quick view mode" in TCSumatraPDF - not even in version SumatraPDF-3.5.2).

Marvelous. Everyone with version 3.5.2 lost focus in Quick View when moving through files using the arrows. You're somehow lucky.

[Horst.Epp]

Thanks for the 1.6 update
Now it works with the newest SumatraPDF version 3.5.2 without losing the focus in Quick View.
Also, switching the plugins with the keys 4 or 8 works fine.

[AkulaBig]

Enjoy it for your health. I had to completely rewrite the plugin. Previously, it used SumatraPDF's internal embedding capabilities. The plugin now uses SumatraPDF as a separate program like my other plugins. Only this allowed me to control it the way I needed.

I recently installed the TC Sumatra PDF 1.7 plugin and got a strange behavior. The first opening of a pdf file works correctly, but the next time you open any other pdf file, the Sumatra application window with this file is clearly launched, and the Lister window displays the previously opened file on top of it. The Lister window is closed by pressing ESC, the unwanted Sumatra window can be closed by ALT-F4. If you open the same file every time, the unwanted Sumatra window is not displayed. I am using TC 11.03 and Sumatra PDF 3.5.2. Plugin settings:
[Options]
path=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF32.exe
path64=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF64.exe
DirIniL=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\SumatraPDF\DirIniL\
DirIniQ=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\SumatraPDF\DirIniQ\
UseTabs = false in DirIniL\SumatraPDF-settings.txt and DirIniQ\SumatraPDF-settings.txt.
This is reproduced in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
