Super Column content plugin for Total Commander 6.5+
Developers: Pavel Dubrovsky aka D1P & Dmitry Vorotilin aka Genius.
Ver: 2.0 prebeta 3
Plugin allows to use all content plugins for Total Commander in just one column. You will not need to have a lot of column combinations for different file types. The super column is a universal one. It will show only proper information for different file types. For example for images it will show dimensions, for mp3-files - id3 tags, for text files - descriptions, etc. You will need to configure it by running SSettings.exe before using.
Install notes:
Just use autoinstall feature in TC 6.50 (open .zip archive in TC as a folder), or copy archive contents in you plugins folder (usually %commander_path%\plugins\wdx) and install it through TC plugins configuration dialog (Configuration->Plugins->WDX->Configure->Add).
Configuration notes:
After plugin install, start the configuration program (SSettings.exe).
When running for the first time, you will be prompted about folder where your content plugins are installed (typically %commander_path%\plugins\wdx).
Next, define the content string with any content data to display for each file type and finally, in TC create a new view, adding one of the Super_Column columns.
Sample of content string (for mp3 ext.):
[%Album@anytag.wdx%] %Artist@anytag.wdx% - %Title@anytag.wdx% [Size: %size.Mbytes@filesys.wdx% Mb]
will show examply as:
[Converting Vegetarians] Infected Mushroom - I Wish [Size: 4 Mb]
To adjust individual view for each folder, it is necessary to click on "Custom folder" box, choose a folder, and having adjusted its kind how it is described above.
