Modify wincmd.ini through pluginst.inf

[norfie]

IMHO the configuration-way for all possibilities of using the new contents plugin is sweaty today.

Therefore an idea for additional installation for pluginst.inf:
there should be an option to add any entry to WINCMD.INI.
e.g.
the exceptional plugin ANYTAG.WDX could add same extra lines to wincmd.ini

Code: Select all

[searches]
Plugin Anytag_SearchFor=*.AAC;*:APE;*.FLAC;*.MP1;*.MP2;*.MP3;*.MP4;
   *.M4A;*.M4B;*.MPC;*.OFR;*.OFS;*.OGG;*.SPX;*.TTA;*.WMA;*.WV
Plugin Anytag_SearchIn=
Plugin Anytag_SearchText=
Plugin Anytag_SearchFlags=0|00000200002|||||||||0000

That would configure this plugin for
1st) a file search mask (search for any content)
2nd) custom columns
3rd) tooltips

That would simplify the use of plugin and the superior integration of this in TCmd.
Not every single user has to do the same - thinging, configuring ...
It would be able to share his own settings (by creating such a pluginst.inf)

What do you thing?

Nice I like it.
Of course there should also be support for other languages for some items, eg. Headers - Headerspol

Concerning anytag.wdx: it would be nice if a custom column view could be bound together with the folder "My Music" (%$MYMUSIC% doesn't exist - any reason for this?).

Let's dream :

Same for packer plugins and file system plugins: it would be nice if some fitting content plugins would exist and it would be able to bind together this fittings plugins with a custom column view.
E.g. Task manager plugin would be contain
1st) procs.wfx (already exist) and
2nd) procs.wdx (new, with additional infos e.g. like F3 today)
3rd) predefined custom column view "procs view"
if you change to procs.wfx-folder TCmd would change to custom view "procs view" automatically.

E.g. 7zip plugin would be contain
1st) 7zip.wcx (already exist) and
2nd) 7zip.wdx (new, with additional infos e.g. like compression ratio)
3rd) predefined custom column view "7zip view"
if you change into a 7zip-achive TCmd would change to custom view "7zip view" automatically.

That would be real great stuff.

Maybe it would be better to integrate this functionality - wdx, predefined custom column - into one wfx/wcx-file (Would that need an extension of this wfx/wcx-interfaces?)

It's already possible to do such things, please
read this thread
http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=6864

From now on, you can perform many different modifications of
ini file, with TCM Installer you can install wdx plugin(s) and custom
view modes for this plugins at once!
