WLX support to preview and print almost any file type?

Any plans on adding WLX plugin support? Doing so, we could easily preview most file types (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, XLS, SVG, PPTX, MSG, etc.) without having the native apps installed (Office, WordPerfect...). Fully relying on the pre-installed preview handlers really impacts the portability aspect.

No such plans. (Any idea how this would work technically?)

IMO an open plugin architecture would allow people like myself to fully tailor XYplorer to our needs. More useful plugins could be posted online for others to download and tweak. As an analogy, just imagine now days a browser without plugin support? Since file managers cover such a broad spectrum of our interaction with computers, it will be impossible to please everyone. With plugins, however, each individual has freedom to take that experience to the next level.
