Preview plugins

[RalphM]

Check out PFA (Portable File Associations) in the help file.
It allows you to override the OS standard app to open a file with a XY specific one (or even a few different ones to choose from).

No, it's not what I want.

I want to use Universal Viewer for previev pane - it supports many files and using it to preview can extend XYploer...

Afaik that's not possible. Take a look at Quick View Plus... The 32-bit version works fine with XY in the preview pane (apart from .msg files)

[MIRKOSOFT]

I downloaded trial and installed to virtual machine... how to integrate it to XYplorer?

Miro

[highend]

It should work automatically once it is installed

[MIRKOSOFT]

Ok, I want to preview these filetypes, but really don't know group where to place extensions in Config menu:

EXE
JAR
7Z
RAR

Thank you for help.

Try "Office Files".

[MIRKOSOFT]

RAR and 7Z works - both by Quick View Plus
EXE and JAR working not.

What kind of preview do you expect from an EXE?

[MIRKOSOFT]

If I open EXE file with Quick View Plus it displays for example this info:

exepreview.jpg (555.81 KiB) Viewed 1704 times

Thanks, I'll see what I can do.

[MIRKOSOFT]

Very nice can be preview tar and gz files - Qucik View Plus it wiews correctly.
In all - is possible to import QVP plugins into XYplorer and use them to preview? It supports more than hundred filetypes.

Thank you.

If QVP offers a preview handler (a shell extension) that can be accessed via a GUID, then yes.

[highend]

CLSID for the preview handler: {8B1E92F5-AC8E-4DAB-9804-3C01AA112F17}

[admin]

Thanks, but, whoops, just I had only implemented this GUID tweak for MSG files preview.

Anyway, if you (MIRKOSOFT) put your desired extensions into "Office Files" it should work (= use the QVP preview handler).
