[req] folder thumbnail in tooltip (album covers etc.)

[monotyp]

is there any possibility (plug in) to see folder thumbnails in tool tip (folder.jpg etc.)? of course with description if any. why? i don't want to see all folders in thumbnail view (too slow, too big...), i want to see only thumbnail for 'mouse over' folder. it could be good for music folders (covers).

i know there is external shareware soft to do this BUT:
- its not free
- its works only with files
- it works only under explorer
- and don't show description (only pictures files thumbnails)

I will consider it. Currently the hint window is text only, but it's all self-written, so it would be theoretically possible to add thumbnails to it.

ok, great! thanks for reply...
now ill try code something like this in vb.net. not plugin - application with will be stay in memory and will be waiting for path to music folders in tcmd, thats not the best solution :/. i dont know to much c++ so i think plugins for tcmd isnt job for me ;]

best...

I fully support this request.

What about a new kind of plugins for hint windows?

Strange question. In the same way we can ask about buttonbar plugins

P.S. Examples (all about 100k):

Mhmmm...I like this idea

[fenix_productions]

Hm. First time my ridiculous idea is good for someone.
The best is the simplicity of this type of plugin. If I think correctly, it could just need a handle to buttonbar. Plugin should give occupied space size information back to TC.

[djorge]

Yes. Nice idea. Great screenshots.

A buttonbar plugin type would a natural extension of TC, considering we have plugins for so many other aspects of the program.

TC itself should enforce the height of the button (or width, if the toolbar is docked vertically), with the other dimension managed and reported by the plugin.

It would be great to extend the "buttonbar api" to the main menu, also.

Then of course multiple toolbars, anywhere docking (including between panels)... all that modern stuff the keyboard guys don't need.

Every plugin API addition to the TC should be well discussed with advanced users and experienced programmers.

I don't support partial solutions.


That said, I support addding additional plugins for some things, like tooltips.

WHen tooltips are in question, I think thay can be used to circumvent limiatation of TC's content plugins. This is idea:

- To have ability to customize tooltips per file type (witch should be regexp customizable) using content plugins.

So, if I have mp3, jpg, bmp and html in the single folder, hovering over it would display customized tooltip with information the user specified. Defaults should stay the same (Flint, is this possible now ? )

Its nice to know this, but I was thinking about something more detailed.

Like small preview of image in a tooltip or whatsoever.

But I realise it so too much to ask .....

I will consider it.

Hey, Christian. Have you made up your mind? This feature would be very useful to me.
