script to confirm which IFilter XYplorer is using

Post by xyplorerköln »

Thanks in advance to those of you with advanced knowledge in this area who might be able to quickly help.

To determine which Preview Handler is being used by XYplorer for a particular filetype, this quick script returns the details:
text get("previewhandler", "pdf")

Is there a similar script (or other method) to determine which IFilter XYplorer is using for a particular filetype?

NirSoft SearchFilterView does show the registered filters on the system with associated extensions, but there is a scenario where it would be helpful to confirm at the XYplorer app level.

Get filtreg from the Windows SDK, run it with runret and do a regex match for the current file extension in its output
