Add ability to apply converters after files loaded
Posted: Fri Feb 23, 2007 4:10 am
I have added the converters that are on your web site, but I left the file patterns mostly empty.
I do not always want to have the files matching that pattern converted before loading. But once I have the files loaded, I may want to "switch" the files to a different "view" of the files that the converters would display. I would like to be able to bring up the list of converters, and then "apply" those converters to the current open files, so I can view a comparison based on the output of the converter.
For example, usually I want to view INI files in their native format, but sometimes I may want to use the INIsort.exe converter, to view the file comparisons on the output of the INIsort.exe converter.
So I would like to load the INI files with no converter applied, then apply the converter later to view the files as the converter displays them.
I may also want to view TXT files in their native format first, and then later switch to a comparison of the output from the uniqline.exe converter tool.
So I would like a menu item where I could pop up a list of the converters, and then pick one to "apply" to the current files. And then pop up the list, and switch back to the original file contents.
