Hi! Sorry for the late reply.

Sure, I understand what you mean. I have to say that I'm not a big fan of the explorer interface, and don't use it so much (personally, the first thing I install on a PC on witch I have to work is Total Commander - basically can't live without it! :D ) so this my affect the priority given to this features.
But they will surely be considered on some next version!

Thanks for the suggestions,
Bye!

Marco,

like you I'm an absolute fan of TC and use it with all kinds of disk and viewer plugins installed. That doesn't prevent me from using the right-click context menu very often. Just try it out yourself - when in TC's list view, right-click any file et voil? ...

If you have installed an archive utility like 7-Zip or WinRAR which installs menu extensions (you may have to enable them in the options dialog). You may find it easier to right click a folder and select "Pack to <folder>.rar" than to press ALT-F5 in TC, edit the  archive name, chose the right archiver from the list box and finally to press OK. Just a lot of unnecessary key strokes and/or mouse clicks.

I find using context menus much faster than using TC's packer plugins. Just my 2 cents.

Offtopic: I would like to use your tool TrID in my Cygwin shell scripts as a Win32 replacement for the Unix FILE command, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_(Unix). Would it be possible for you to add another command line options that makes TrID output only one line of information?

Example: What you currently get when running "trid program.exe -r:1"  is:

TrID/32 - File Identifier v2.02 - (C) 2003-06 By M. Pontello
Definitions found:  2867
Analyzing ...

Collecting data from file: program.exe
63.0% (.EXE) Win32 Executable MS Visual C++ (generic) (37706/45/16)

And what I need is "trid program.exe -r:1 -u"

C:\Program Files\Any\program.exe: Win32 Executable MS Visual C++ (generic)

That would be great.

Regards,
Martin

I will take this in consideration in the next version of TrID.

Thanks for the feedback,
