It's not very clear what you want to do here. Can you link the skin you're trying to modify?

Re: FileChoose [Ver.1.2.0.1]
Hi, It is an interesting skin code that expands folders in a very intuitive mode. Unfortunately it won't show thumbnails when folder files are photos or videos, it just shows the icon assigned to its type of file. The code uses FileView plugIn.death.crafter wrote: ↑September 1st, 2022, 2:00 pm It's not very clear what you want to do here. Can you link the skin you're trying to modify?

I would like to translate it so it can run with FileChoose plugin instead so it can show photo files thumbnails and not just its icon whenever I mouseover.
You ca find a demo of the skin here: https://youtu.be/WEQzOHPr5ho
And the skin here: https://github.com/juh9870/EXpandableFolder/releases/tag/1.0.0
Thank you for trying to help!

Re: FileChoose [Ver.1.2.0.1]
Ohh I see. But filechoose plugin isn't the right choice here tbh. What you can do is check for file extensions, and use the file itself as image if the extension is jpg, png or some other supported image formatJaime Méndez wrote: ↑September 1st, 2022, 3:23 pm Hi, It is an interesting skin code that expands folders in a very intuitive mode.

How could In do it?death.crafter wrote: ↑September 1st, 2022, 3:42 pm Ohh I see. But filechoose plugin isn't the right choice here tbh. What you can do is check for file extensions, and use the file itself as image if the extension is jpg, png or some other supported image format
Could you give an example how to get an image from a image format file?
The example code that comes with the downloaded FileChoose plugin works great. It shows a thumbnail and read.txt says you can get the icon with any other method than a specific user action like "LeftMouseUpAction" in order to get the file info
"ChooseFile N", "ChooseFolder N", "ChooseImage N"
N is a number. When finished choosing, the option CommandN will be executed.
Examples:
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureChoose "ChooseFile 1"]
"Resolve N PATH"
N is a number. When finished choosing, the option CommandN will be executed.
PATH is a string of a file's path. Must not contain "".
This bang enable users to send a filepath to the plugin, then reslove the path
as if the path is chosen by "ChooseFile". This means you can get a path with
another method and just use the plugin to resolve it, and get the information.

I am not really at my PC rn, so it's hard for me to cook an example right away. If you could give me more time, I can make one for you tonight.Jaime Méndez wrote: ↑September 1st, 2022, 3:47 pm How could In do it?

1) comment the OnChangeAction line in the [MeasureFileIcon%%] measure by adding a ; at the start of the line:
Code: Select all
; OnChangeAction=[!SetOption MeterTileIcon%% ImageName [MeasureFileIcon%%]]
Code: Select all
[MeasureFileType%%]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=FileView
Path=[MeasureFolder]
Index={%%+1}
Type=FileType
IfMatch=(?i)^(?:png|jpg|bmp|gif|tif|webP|ico)$
IfMatchAction=[!SetOption MeterTileIcon%% ImageName "[MeasureFilePath%%]"]
IfNotMatchAction=[!SetOption MeterTileIcon%% ImageName "[MeasureFileIcon%%]"]
IfMatchMode=1
Code: Select all
PreserveAspectRatio=1

Re: FileChoose [Ver.1.2.0.1]
That aside, the performance won't be great, because you'd be rendering the very large in size images themselves and not their thumbnails.

Hopefully it will be what the OP had in mind as well.
![Confused :???:](./images/smilies/bw.gif)
Yep, noticed that. There would be a proportional delay in displaying several big images in the skin, indeed.death.crafter wrote: ↑September 1st, 2022, 5:29 pm That aside, the performance won't be great, because you'd be rendering the very large in size images themselves and not their thumbnails.

This is unfortunately, unavoidable - Rainmeter needs time to read and scale those images from the drive.
