Hi!

So, my Q is else one...
I'm programmer of retrocomputers and especially Commodore. They have app for displaying and working with disk images named DirMaster.
DirMaster has built in Windows Explorer shell preview, look here:
shellpreview.jpg
DirMaster program looks so:
dirmaster.jpg
Is possible to add preview of disk images by this shell preview DLL or is it possible to do it by myself?
Here's DLL:
diskpreview.rar
Whole DirMaster you can download here: http://www.mirkosoft.sk/dirmaster.zip

It works in exactly the same way as with QVP. The only problem: You can use only one exclusively atm...

If Don adds support for another category where you can add additional extensions AND assign a CLSID to each
of them it would be possible to use any 32-bit preview handler on the system...

Cool stuff! What I've tried so far worked flawlessly.
DirMaster & Quick View Plus with msg (finally!), rar (not rar5), pst and psd...

Works perfectly!

I added else more preview formats - all works!

Only one Q:
Is possible to make DirMaster preview double size? Or fit horizontaly to preview pane?
Or also others - video and images is possible to fit into pane...

It does not use all the space? Why? Got a screenshot?

Here's screenshot of DirMaster diskette directory:
dirmasterthumbnail.png
which is in 100% size, so small...

I have installed ZX Spectrum programs thumbnails and added tem too, but thumbnails fits into pane:

Weird. And it paints the background white (XY does not do this).

How does it look in Explorer?

In Explorer it looks same - no difference...

I will ask creators of DirMaster what is possible then I post it here.
Or if you can at least change size, please let me know.

Thank you.
Your work is great!
