How to Preview Contents in the rar 7z ?

Post by vasya »

[XYplorer 20.70.0000]
There are 3 places of viewing zip rar 7z:
1. Info Panel (bottom)(Window - Show Info Panel F12 - Preview)(Not working if Preview Pane is Active)
2. Preview Pane (right)(Window - Show Preview Pane Ctrl+F11 - Preview)(Has priority under Preview Tab)
(Information in the "Info Panel-Preview" and in the "Preview Pane" is equal)
3. Floating Preview (near the file)

And two types of viewing zip rar 7z: 1. Floating, 2. Info Panel / Preview Pane

And two settings place:
1. XYplorer.ini
zip - Working from the box
rar - ZipPathUnRAR=C:\Program Files\WinRAR\UnRAR.exe
7z - ZipPath7zip=C:\7-Zip 9.20\7z.exe

2. CLSID
To see which program uses which CLSID: https://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=PDFpreview
1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\
2. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\
3. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html

Configuration-Preview-Previewed Formats-User-Defined Preview Handlers:
rar>{B41DB860-64E4-11D2-9906-E49FADC173CA}
7z>{23170F69-40C1-278A-1000-000100020000}

Is not working? Nothing changes. Need soft have to be installed? No portable soft use? Need to install x32 soft only? Not x64? If we move installed Winrar from "Program Files" to C:\WinRAR\ and execute this reg file:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{B41DB860-64E4-11D2-9906-E49FADC173CA}]
@="WinRAR"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{B41DB860-64E4-11D2-9906-E49FADC173CA}\InProcServer32]
@="C:\\WinRAR\\rarext.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{B41DB860-64E4-11D2-9906-E49FADC173CA}]
@="WinRAR"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{B41DB860-64E4-11D2-9906-E49FADC173CA}\InProcServer32]
@="C:\\WinRAR\\rarext.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"
Then nothing happens, XYplorer will not see rar archive like WinRAR is not installed. So, how it works?


As was described before : There are two types of viewing zip rar 7z: 1. Floating, 2. Info Panel / Preview Pane
For me:
zip - 1. working from the box / 2. working from the box
rar - 2. working in English WinRAR only (ZipPathUnRAR=) / 2. Not working
7z - 3. working (ZipPath7zip=) / 2. Not working

So how to turn on the Preview type #2 (Info Panel / Preview Pane) for rar and 7z archives?
