Changes since 1.1

Why Lister picks a plugin – or doesn't

  • PlugExtDet now follows TC's own selection order: NoMediaFileTypes → NoPluginFileTypes → view mode by file type ([ListerModes]) → plugin order.
  • Each extension shows whether the plugin really gets it, or is blocked, overruled by a rule in TC, or passed over because TC shows the file itself (images and media need MULTIMEDIA).
  • Plugins that match (almost) every file are highlighted in blue; new extra column Reach.
  • New help chapter "How Lister chooses a plugin" (behaviour verified in TC 11.58 x64).

Findings in plain language

  • Every finding now has: a short line, What is going on, Remedy and In PlugExtDet. Technical terms only appear as pointers at the end.
  • New findings: rule pointing to an unregistered plugin, catch-all plugin with the number of plugins behind it, duplicate keys in a section, fields of a missing plugin (TC shows <?>).
  • Content plugins get their own texts instead of Lister wording.

Where content plugins are used

  • For each content plugin: the column views, tooltips, thumbnails, searches and rename templates that use its fields.
  • Shown as symbols with counts in the extra column Used in, in the detail field and in the plugin info (Alt+Enter).

New "Preview" tab

  • Pick a file and see what every content plugin delivers: field, value, readable type, where it is used, and the ready field reference [=plugin.field].
  • Only plugins whose detect string matches the file are queried (optionally all). Each runs in its own short-lived process with a time limit; nothing is ever written.
  • Call it from TC: PlugExtDet.exe /preview "%P%N" (a running instance receives the file).

Smaller changes

  • Detect strings: one shared parser; every syntax error is reported; confirmation before applying a faulty string; note on the 8192-byte limit of FIND/[n].
  • INI changed from outside while running → offer to read it again.
  • "Open folder in TC" works without folder tabs (DirectoryTabs=0); custom parameters possible.
  • Long paths are shortened in the middle; tooltip in the "Check" column; dark mode for the preview.
  • New program icon.
  • Translations: Danish (petermad), Ukrainian (BEB), Czech updated.
