TC IrfanView Plugin

[AkulaBig]

I need more info on this.

At my request, the author of IrfanView has done a lot of work to correct the errors existing in version 4.66.
1. Fixed a bug in viewing heic files. When viewing some heic files, an error occurred in recognizing the file header.
2. Fixed an error in displaying tiff files with an ICC profile.
When the ICC profile was enabled in the IrfanView settings, these files were displayed as a black square.
3. Fixed an error in displaying the number of pages of multi-page tiff files.
These fixes affect the i_viewХХ.exe files and the Lcms.dll, Tools.dll plugins. The author simply added the remaining new versions of plugins to the archive. You can use them or not.
There is also a new plugin PsHost.dll. As the author explained, it improves the display of the black and white theme.

I understand. Thank you very much indeed!

Updated TCIrfanView Plugin.
Version 1.9:
+ All file operations are now available in quick view mode.

Due to popular demand, I unlocked the Quick View window. Now you can view files in QV as conveniently as in Lister itself.
Yes, now fans of viewing DJV and other multi-page files can use my plugin.
In the QV you can leaf through multi-page files. You need to add additional extensions to the detection line yourself. I position my plugin for viewing images. Fans of viewing files in natural size now also have the opportunity to use my plugin. In QV mode, the image can be moved as in Lister mode.
The changes in the code are very large. Therefore, we look for errors and report them to me.

I found 2 format file could not be preview in TCifFanView plugins:

1. pdn file(paint.net), it seem to no data sent to the plugins. it can be shown fine if ifFan open. i have install IMPDN.dll.
2. heic file(what in ios). it could NOT show in plugins and program. it get a black to me. I've install HEIF Image Extensions & HEVC video Extension in MS store. but the file can be shown in imagine or xnview.

wincmd.ini [Lister]
IviewAdditionalTypes=*.icl *.ico *.ccx *.dds *.heic *.xcf *.rw2 *.svg *.wdp *.webp *.arw *.avif

Did you add the .heic file extension?

For me, the actual TC IrfanView plugin together with IrfanView x64 version 4.67 show .heic files.

If you have installed the HEIF Image Extensions & HEVC video Extensions under your account,
at least TC Explorer preview should display them.

[AkulaBig]

1. pdn file(paint.net), it seem to no data sent to the plugins. it can be shown fine if ifFan open. i have install IMPDN.dll.

This is due to the fact that IrfanView tries to disable non-native plugins. Just enable this plugin in IV settings. Better yet, write the following section in the IV ini file:
[Disabled_PlugIns]
JPEG2000.DLL=0
B3D.DLL=0
FPX.DLL=0
ICS.DLL=0
JPEG_LS.DLL=0
MRC.DLL=0
WBZ.DLL=0
WPG.DLL=0
XCF.DLL=0
IMPDN.DLL=0
In the next version of the plugin, I will add this section to the plugin archive.

2. heic file(what in ios). it could NOT show in plugins and program. it get a black to me. I've install HEIF Image Extensions & HEVC video Extension in MS store. but the file can be shown in imagine or xnview.

Codec MS story curve. You need to install CopyTrans HEIC for Windows from the IV website or from the Internet. This problem is known and discussed on the IV forum.

[AkulaBig]

If you have installed the HEIF Image Extensions & HEVC video Extensions under your account,
at least TC Explorer preview should display them.

MS codecs are crooked. They don't show the heic part. You must install the CopyTrans HEIC for Windows codec. Then all heic will be displayed.

That's wrong, at least for me.
Long time ago, I also had the "CopyTrans HEIC for Windows codecs" installed
but I have replaced them with the Microsoft codecs.
They work fine in TC plugins (IrfanView, Imagine, Photoviewer), Windows Explorer, Everything search tool
and XYplorer file manager.

Imagine has a built-in heic codec. It does not use MS codecs. But IrfanView uses external code and shows the heic part as a black square. If confirmation is needed, I can send heic files that are not shown. Better yet, let the author of the post post his file and you’ll see, and I’ll take it to my collection.

I have many sample .heic files in my plugin test collection.
They are all shown fine.
So I also would like to get same test files.

Btw. the Copy trans heic tool is now part of a larger package but can still be used for free.

Yes. It's free. There is a thread about it on the IrfanView forum. There they discuss the MS codec and there is a link to this codec. If we don’t get a link from the author of the post, I’ll post examples.

thx 4 the suggest, I post the problem heic file below

This is due to the fact that IrfanView tries to disable non-native plugins. Just enable this plugin in IV settings. Better yet, write the following section in the IV ini file:

I'd enable the plugins in irfanview, but it's seem NOT the plugins by disabled but no file sentto the windows

This is my sample heic file could not be preview
the security info like GPS have be wipe

You can see this specifically in the settings: Help -> Installed PlugIns...

This file doesn't show up for me either. And Imagine shows. Apparently we need to look for another codec.
