Total Commander Proxy Plugin

[manison]

This is the very first version of the plugin that allows you to use Total Commander filesystem plugins with Altap Salamander.
In this preview version just listing path in a panel and view (F3) functions are implemented, thus suitable for plugins like Task Manager, Device Manager, Event Log and similar only.
Use the plugin at your own risk – Salamander may become unstable, it may exhaust system resources or explode your computer

Installation:
- Create subdirectory with a suitable name under the Salamander plugins directory
- Copy the tcfs.spl plugin to that subdirectory
- Copy a Total Commander filesystem plugin (*.wfx) of your choice to that subdirectory
- Go to Salamander Plugins > Plugins Manager and Add the Total Commander File System Proxy to the list of the plugins
- Go to Alt-F1/F2 menu and select the new filesystem
You may install as many plugins at different subdirectories as you want.

Download Total Commander File System Proxy Plugin from the project page.

It was FAST! Keep up the good work!

Wow I sure do want this to work! Thanks for your efforts!

I struggled somewhat with the installation instructions. Here is my revision.

1. Identify a TC wfx plugin to add to Salamander.
2. Make a new folder in the Salamander plugins folder named appropriately.
3. Put a copy of tcfs.spl in that folder
4. Put copy of the wfx file in that folder, too.
5. Go to Salamander>Plugins>Plugin Manager...
6. Click Add
7. Navigate to the wfx folder containing the plugin and select tcfs.spl
8. You can Test at this point.
9. Repeat Steps 1-8 for each plugin.
9. Close the plugin manager
10. Select a new plugin in the AltF1/F2 list, corresponding files will appear in panel.

Thanks manison for your plugin for .wfx plugins from TC. it works fine.

Question:
Plugins have icons which are displayed only when the plugin is selected/active. Those icons are not in displayed in the Change Drive Menu. There is nothing or check mark at selected plugin. It can be seen on screenshot posted by manison. Is it possible to be displayed those icons in the change drive menu?

ino, it's a plugin responsibility to provide an icon for Alt-F1/F2 menu. It's not supported by the proxy plugin right now, since I want to implement more important features first. The icon will definitely appear in some subsequent version of the plugin.

Thanks for the information.

Now we've WebDav

I'm afraid we have not yet. A lot of work have to be done.

unfortunately i can't view F3 and copy F5

Please be patient, I'll implement the features and fix the errors step by step.

When you are trying to install this plugin without any TC ones, you'll get error messages:

---------------------------
Total Commander File System Proxy
---------------------------
Initialization of the Total Commander plugin failed.
---------------------------

and next

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
Plugin (C:\Program Files\Salamander\plugins\tcfs\tcfs.spl) has not been loaded. Plugin is not valid Altap Salamander Plugin or some plugin internal error has occurred.
---------------------------

I think that should be better to change second message to something like "No suitable plugin was found ... etc.".

But on the other side, great work. Keep it up

Raptor, There's no way to change the second message since it comes from Salamander itself when a plugin fails to initialize. I can change the first message, on the other hand it has no meaning to use Total Commander Proxy without any Total Commander plugin.

But on the other side, great work. Keep it up

Thanks

Updated test version available for download.

Major improvements since last version:
* improved icon handling in a panel
* improved the view (F3) function
+ copy/move (F5/F6) from a plugin to the local file system implemented
+ execute a file (enter/dbl click) function implemented
+ directory line hot-tracking
+ language dependent resources moved into the SLG language pack

Please test with care.

What operation? The progress window does not appear during the operation? Can't you use the Cancel button?

speed

How about speed comparison with Total Commander?

I have no Alt+5 View
