Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

1. What's the Imagine.wlx and Imagine.wcx files?

Imagine can be used with Total Commander. (famous file manager)
Imagine.wlx file can be associated with the lister of Total Commander and
Imagine.wcx file can be used as a packer plugin of Total Commander.
But if you don't use Total Commander, these files can be deleted if you want.
In this case, the minimal required files are only Imagine.exe and Imagine.dll.

2. How can I use Imagine.wcx file?

The following is applied only to Total Commander users as I said at the above.
With Imagine.wcx file, you can browse the image/animation files as if they're archive files.
Associate with 'Imagine' extension. Then you can browse into any graphic files that are supported by Imagine.
You can also extract frames that you want from animation file. (ex. Animated GIF file)
And you can convert the format of image. The target image format is determined by the extension of target image filename.
With the 'Create separate archives, one per selected file/dir' option, it can be used with batch conversion tasks.

3. I can't uninstall Imagine, the Imagine.dll file cannot be deleted.

You seems to be using the shell extension feature.
If you use the shell extension feature, the Imagine process is not unloaded until the explorer is closed and the executable file cannot be deleted.
First, disable all the shell extension features. (It's on Shell Extension tab in preference dialog.)
Now logoff or reboot the Windows, and you can delete the Imagine.dll.

4. I want to make the plugin of Imagine. How can I start?

There is the plugin SDK of Imagine. You can download the latest version at the homepage of Imagine.
But it may lack of document or description. Then you can reach me via WWW or E-mail.

5. Some options don't work.

Anti aliasing option, and some toolbar styles may require later version of common control.
You can update this by installing later version of Internet Explorer.

6. I can't see WMF images.

You seems to use Imagine as a Total Commander lister plugin.
WMF images have been disabled in Lister+Thumbnails for security reasons (security hole in Windows).
They can be reenabled via wincmd.ini [Configuration] WmfAllowed=3

7. Can I use environment variables?

You can use environment variables with a pair of '%'.
For example, '%TEMP%' represents temp directory environment variable.
