Dialog box: Configure lister
Display at startup: Choose here how lister is started when F3 is pressed in Total Commander. Lister can start up showing the file as text, binary (fixed width) or hex. When Autodetect is selected, lister can distinguish in a limited way between text files and binary files.
Font at startup: Choose here if lister should start up with the ANSI- (Windows), ASCII- (DOS) or variable font (Windows, text only). When Autodetect is selected, lister tries to distinguish between ANSI and ASCII text.
Font: Here you can select a font for the three possible font selections. Warning: When selecting a DOS font, also non-DOS fonts are listed because of a bug in the Windows standard dialog. Lister now also works with multiple font families in Windows NT, so you can view Cyrillic (Russian) and Eastern European texts with the correct font.
Display width: Choose a line width for the text and binary modes.
Search result: Determines how many lines from the upper window border found text will be shown.
Multimedia display: Determines whether pictures should be shown as graphics or text when lister starts.
The option Multimedia lets Lister load and play sound and video files by default. If unchecked, you can still switch to "image" mode to open such files.
The RTF option displays RTF files using Microsoft's RTF control, which is also used by Wordpad. Images and other embedded objects will NOT be shown.
With the option Use Irfanview, the viewer Irfanview can be used as a filter to import other files than bmp into Total Commander. This option needs a lot of memory for big image files.
You can find Irfanview through the "Addons - Tools" page on our homepage, www.ghisler.com. You need at least version 2.90 of Irfanview!
As an alternative, you can use XNView 1.14 or later (www.xnview.com). This program also exists in a version for Windows 3.1!
You can also choose to show HTML files either as interpreted text with links, or as plain HTML source code. You can also disable the option to show curly braces {} around links.
LS-Plugins: This button allows to install/remove lister plugins. The plugins will be called in the order in which they are listed by the plugin install listbox. You can change the sort order with Shift+Arrow keys. In lister, you can switch through all matching plugins by pressing the '4' key.
Plugins can be found on www.ghisler.com.
