[32] pl files are not being displayed

Schultheis · Post by *Schultheis » 2011-09-22, 12:10 UTC

If I want to display a file with extension pl, Windows starts a download (even if I choose language = English, a German dialog box appears: Dateidownload - Möchten Sie diese Datei speichern? ...). With 7.56a the file is being displayed.

Hint: The file is encrypted.

Hello, Burkhard.

Sorry, fail to understand what you do to get a download dialogue?
You select a filename having the extension .pl.
What is your next step? Double-clicking the filename?

If I press <F3> on a filename having the extension .pl T.C. will display the file content inside its lister.

If I double click a filename having the extension .pl T.C. (rather Windows itself) will display a dialogue which tells me that it does not know what to do with the file. It asks whether I wish to search the web for the appropriate programme or whether I wish to look for it on the local machine.

But nothing gets downloaded automatically here.

If your T.C. 7.56a opened .pl file in a particular programme, had you created a T.C. internal association for .pl files which T.C. 8 beta1 does not have perhaps?

Kind regards,
Karl

If I deactivate "Multimedia display -> Use plugins or load bitmaps as graphics at startup" in "Configure Lister" dialog, the file is being displayed.

Interesting, are these just normal Perl scripts? I tried with some I have here, and F3 works just fine with Multimedia enabled.

Maybe some plugin tries to pick them up?

It was the ieview plugin.

I installed 8.0 Beta 1 parallel to 7.56a. And now 8.0 has all the plugins, and 7.56a has now plugins. Is that a bug or a feature? Maybe I've choosen a different directory for the ini files when I installed the Beta. It seems to me that 7.56a hast lost it's configuration when installing the Beta.

No, the settings are not changed - can you check in Help - About Total Commander where TC expects to see the file wincmd.ini? You need to check this in 7.56a, and make sure that the ini file really is there.

I've send you an e-mail. In short: The 7.56a installation had fresh ini files, the beta not.

I see - so does it work now with the other ini?

I changed the detect entry for ieview (copied from an old thread, Author: Ghisler

) and now it's perfect. It's not a problem of the Beta!
