View and quick view *.CHM

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

1. F3 > htmlview > 4 > IEView > 4 > IEView
Switching to htmlview doesn't occur.

2. Ctrl+Q > htmlview > 4 > htmlview
Switching to IEView doesn't occur.

I don't understand the problem here ?
I have assigned the extension CHM to htmlview and this works in all situations.
If I hit 4 in a htmlview of a CHM it switches to the next configured plugin.

There are 3 of them here, as you can see.

I am using markdown plug for similar operation and with this plug I can't observer the same problems.
SO maybe it more correctly will be to report this bug for 'IEView' plugins author?

The 3rd one is what I expect.
TC has no internal CHM viewer.

I realized my mistake. I confused Lister with IEView because of "ListerTitle=%TITLE% - Lister", replaced it in the first 2 points, removed the 3rd one.
PS: IEView, unlike htmlview, displays color settings correctly.

I don't think the 2nd point concerns IEView.

It didn't stop being a bug just because I confused the plugin with Lister.
Pressing 4 should result in a cyclic transition in both cases.

I cannot reproduce the issue for F3.

I tested first with plain HTMLView put before IEView in the [ListerPlugins] section:

Code: Select all

25=%COMMANDER_PATH%\PLUGINS\WLX\HTMLView\HTMLView.wlx
25_detect=EXT="PDF" | EXT="CHM" | FORCE
26=%COMMANDER_PATH%\PLUGINS\WLX\IEView\ieview.wlx
26_detect=EXT="PDF" | EXT="CHM" | FORCE
and all other plugins i have that that can open chm files disabled.

Then I also tried with this "View method by file type" setting:

Code: Select all

[ListerModes]
0exts=*.chm
0fields=HTMLView.wlx,ieview.wlx
no problems with that either.


In Quickview i cannot confirm the problem as described, but at the third press on 4 TC, does not go back to HTMLView:
Ctrl+Q > focus on Lister panel > HTMLView > 4 > ieview > 4 > HTMLView > 4 > HTMLView

I have to set focus to the Lister panel manually each time HTMLView is opened, to be able to go to ieview - so this works:
Ctrl+Q > focus on Lister panel > HTMLView > 4 > ieview > 4 > HTMLView > focus on Lister panel > 4 > ieview - etc.


If I re-enable my other plugins I get this sequence for Quickview (no ploblems with F3):
Ctrl+Q > focus on Lister panel > sumatrapdf > HTMLView > 4 > total7zip > 4 > synplus > 4 > hexviewer > 4 > sumatrapdf
ieview is simply skipped

I can include ieview by doing:
Ctrl+Q > focus on Lister panel > sumatrapdf > HTMLView > focus on Lister panel > 4 > ieview > 4 > total7zip > 4 > synplus > 4 > hexviewer > 4 > sumatrapdf

EDIT
If I, in the last example, move total7zip.wlx between HTMLView and ieiew in the [ListerPlugins] section, then i get this:
Ctrl+Q > focus on Lister panel > sumatrapdf > HTMLView > 4 > ieview > 4 > 4synplus > 4 > hexviewer > 4 > sumatrapdf
i.e. total7zip is skipped.

Again this works:
Ctrl+Q > focus on Lister panel > sumatrapdf > HTMLView > focus on Lister panel > 4 > ieview > 4 total7zip > 4 > synplus > 4 > hexviewer > 4 > sumatrapdf

So the problem oviously lies in HTMLView that makes TC skip the next plugin, unless the panel has been focused.

Unfortunately I could not fix this because it's a bug in htmlview, sorry.
