thanks for clarifying.
now try this:
1) open quickviewer
2) select a file that needs uLister to be displayed
3) do not close quickviewer
4) select a txt-file
5) my FCXE now does not display the txt-file

Yes, you're right, it doesn't.

thanks for confirmation - seems to be a bug
and I have the very strong feeling that it is related to that misbehavior you described here:
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=5753#p17970 - once uLister has "taken over" it doesn't "release" control again.
neither does it allow FCXE viewer nor any other plugin.

Open the ulister.ini file (in ulister folder) and change the file as
[ulister]
;noloadtypes=1999
;nopreviewtypes=1999
keepinmemory=1
I can open txt files with such ulister.ini.

@Karol
wow, works perfectly! (by the way: do you also know a trick to view .cdr files via uLister?)

Thanks, Karol!
But I don't understand why it works, 'cause 1999 is the string for "Unknown format". There are several strings for .txt files, that, supposedly, were not blocked.

I do not know why it works. I have checked ulister.ini and "nopreviewtypes" was suspect for that problem.

After I played around with my uLister plugin, I started experiencing the "Exception in plugin ulister.wlx64 in function ListLoad" error and it drove me nuts!
Until I found the culprit. In my case, it was the freakin' "keepinmemory=1" string from the "ulister.ini" file. I changed the value to "0" at some point and that was causing it. Reverting the value to the default "1" (and restarting FC) did the trick for me.
readme wrote:"keepinmemory" allow keep Outside In Viewer library in memory, it reduce document load time but increase memory consumption (Default enable).
Check yours today, and you may win the big one!
Edit: if you want to disable uLister plugin for some file formats, check the "formats.txt" file for the corresponding strings and edit the "ulister.ini" file (and restart FC). For example, you want to disable uLister for .zip and .rar files; their corresponding strings are 1802 and 1821. So, "ulister.ini" file should look something like this:
Code: Select all
[ulister]
noloadtypes=1802,1821,1999
nopreviewtypes=1802,1821,1999
keepinmemory=1
I wanted to disable uLister for all the media files (as it wouldn't work for any of them, while FC's internal viewer did), so my "ulister.ini" file looks like this now:
Code: Select all
[ulister]
noloadtypes=1700,1701,1702,1703,1704,1705,1706,1707,1708,1709,1710,1711,1712,1713,1714,1715,1716,1717,1718,1719,1720,1721,1722,1723,1724,1725,1999
nopreviewtypes=1700,1701,1702,1703,1704,1705,1706,1707,1708,1709,1710,1711,1712,1713,1714,1715,1716,1717,1718,1719,1720,1721,1722,1723,1724,1725,1999
keepinmemory=1

I'm new to FC and have just ear about uLister.
I have RTFM and install it and libraries as described.
uLister begs it can't find libraries.
Any help?
(Both FC and uLister 32bits).

Are "ulister.wlx, ulister.ini, plugins.inf" and the about 200 files (*.flt, *.dll) from Oracle all in the same directory?

uLister ReadMe wrote:6. Installation

And copy "redist" folder to plugin folder.

No.
The files from Oracle are in the "redist" folder.
Same structure as joby_toss .

Maybe your Viewer Technology archive was corrupted during download.
And make sure you're using the same platform (32 or 64 bit) for FC XE, uLister plugin and Oracle libraries.

The files from the redist folder have to be copied into the ULister plugins dir !
It worked always like this and I use it in Total Commander and FC since years.

It works for me, so this is not really a must (and I quoted above directly from uLister readme text). It is nice and tidy this way and easier to update.
