x64 version:
http://nyam.pe.kr/dev/imagine/download/ ... _0.0.3.zip

Unzip to "Plugin" folder.
You can check at "Help->Installed plugins".

* Requires Imagine v1.0.5 or higher

Is it correct that this plugin so far only supports 7z files with LZMA compression?

Yes, exactly.
I added "Supported compression" text just now.

great!

1. it'd be great if Imagine WLX could see 7z/zip archives when navigating to next/previous image
2. also it'd be great if WLX could be invoked on a 7z archive with F3 key! (I have set Lister's Imagine association to MULTIMEDIA|EXT="7Z"|EXT="ZIP" — yet it does not work, however file-open from inside Imageine WLX window opens zips & 7z just fine)
3. I have a 60MB 7z full of pictures organized in subfolders - only the first image in alphabet order is seen
4. I suggest that the 7z plugin feeds the archive filelist unsorted (preserving archive order) because 7z "solid" lzma compression makes alphabetical browsing painfully slow
5. the picture from that aforementioned 7z archive while being displayed makes every click on the lister window (e.g. RMB click) yield a reaction after 1 second which is 1000 times too much

thanx!

It is impossible as a TC plugin.
Because TC only extracts selected image files in archive to temporary directory and Imagine doesn't know there are other image files in the temporary directory.


Unfortunately it is also impossible too.


I cannot check such problem.
Could you attach a small file with such problem?


Currently, browsing "solid" 7z archive file is slow.
I hope I can find a good solution.
But, this is not an easy task.


It is the same "solid" problem.

Thank you for the information.

I need to say thank you to nyam first.
*.7z is the most common archive format which I am using right now.

My PC environment: [OS]Windows 7 x64 English, [CPU]Q6600, [RAM]8GB, [VGA]NV 8800GT




I have the same problem. But after about a 30~60 secs waiting I found that it was just too slow to show.
It can still show the desired pic correctly, but in a very slow speed.




There is a software called "Hamana", the way it showed *.7z files is like this.
1. sort the files by name(or any order in default) in the current directory, make an table for list.
2. Exract everything to a local temp directory(in the order of sorted file list, I am not sure about this).
I am also not sure that did hamana extract unrecognized files or just "everything."
3. Read the user desired pic from local temp.

Usually, while normal people opening an 7z archive, the first pic in the root directory of that archive will be the first one being showed.
In this way of browsing 7z archive, people would not need to wait for a long time to see the pics at the beginning of the archive.

Hmm.....but you at least need to have a large disk space for temp directory.

Hope this can do some help to you, nyam.

I forgot to login first, this "Guest" is me.

I'll consider it.
Thanks for the information.

I was just giving out an idea and hope that my idea can inspire you with some new idea (by your own)


By the way.... the reason that I mentioned the software "Hamana" here is because that it is the only pics viwer software that I am using right now.
But I really think that your software "Imagine" could be much more better than Hamana.

Well I must (and have) to say that Imagine has beaten Hamana in many places already.

The 7z problem on Imagine is just a small flaws of Imagine now, and I believe that you could get over this problem.

No push, just cheer!

Thanks, I hope you have happy weekend.
