Weird plugin "\n (ENTER)" // "\n (Neue Zeile)" , what's that?

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

Weird plugin "\n (ENTER)" // "\n (Neue Zeile)" , what's that?

Post by *yong »

I accidentally come to this weird plugin:

1. Open Configuration dialog
2. On the left, click Thumbnails, then on the right, click Fields by type
3. In the Custom fields by file type dialog, Click the Add button
4. In the Specify file type dialog, Enter a file type, e.g. *.txt, then click OK
5. In the new Custom fields by file type dialog, click the + button on the right
6. In the Choose plugin property dialog, the plugins field lists the available plugins like:

Code: Select all

All plugins
tc
\n (ENTER)
What is this "\n (ENTER) plugin" anyway?

Tested on TC 10.00 & 10.50, 32 & 64 bit.

It's not a plugin, it's a line break so you can spread the displayed data over several lines. This is useful when using smaller thumbnails, because there isn't much space per line in this case. For example, you could put the image dimensions on one line, the file size on the next, and the date/time below.

Thank you for the explanation. The help text for 'Fields by type' simply states 'multiple lines are possible' but doesn't detail how to do that, could you please add something to this like 'use plugin "\n (ENTER)" to break the lines'?
