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
