WinScriptAdv content plugin for Total Commander runs your scripts for files and folders and displays returned fom script info into columns.
You can write your own scripts for getting any useful information from the file\folder or parse its 
name, for sorting files in a desired order, for complex file renaming with Multi-Rename Tool, etc.

You can activate unlimited scripts count in one group of columns (in one panel) - they will work together. 
Each script can have multiple columns (up to 21) and display info simultaneously with other scripts that 
also can be with multiple columns.

* Multiple columns per one script (up to 21); 
* Unlimited number of simultaneously working scripts in one group of columns;
* Custom title name for any column;
* Supported scripting languages: 
   VBS,               (via COM interface)
   JS,  	           (via COM interface)
   Python (*.py)      (via COM interface)
   AutoHotKey (*.ahk) (via exe parser)
   PHP (*.php)        (via exe parser)
           AutoIt (*.au3)     (via exe parser)
       PowerShell (*.ps1) (via exe parser, always running)

VBS, JS and PowerShell - are languages that come with Windows (built-in), they do not required separate 		installation.
What script engines from listed here are fastest? 
1. Engines that works via COM interface - VBS, JS, Python.
2. PowerShell - because it always running (-noexit flag)
Languages that works via exe parser are usually slower in this plugin, because for each file WinScriptAdv 		needs to launch and close exe parser.

Compatible with scripts that was created for another plugin with name script_wdx (By Lev Freidin), 
you do not need to fix them.
Scripts for WinScriptAdv have the same format as in script_wdx - one variable with name "filename" and result 
variables with names: content, content1, content2, ... content20 (so totally 21).

1. WinScriptAdv sends to global variable 'filename' (fixed name for all scripts and engines) 
    a full path (long, unicode) to the file or folder ("c:\myFolder" - without end slash).
    Use this variable name in your script to get a path to the file or folder that your script will process.

2. Return the result(s) of the script work to the variables with name 'content', 'content1', 
    'content2' ... 'content20' (so totally there are 21 content variables, and the latest is "content20").

Example:
    MyScript.vbs:

Dim oFSO, f 
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = oFSO.OpenTextFile (filename, 1, False)  
content = f.Read(1024) 
f.Close

Ok, now we have working example of our script. 
If you need more columns (var with name "content" - is the first column), 
you can use "content1", "content2" etc variables in your script.
Copy that script to MyScript.vbs file, and put it in the Script folder. You can find 
it in the folder where WinScriptAdv was installed.

See examples in Script folder.

1. Copy script file (e.g MyScript.vbs) to Script folder

2. Open options.ini
    Add new section:

[MyScript]
Script=MyScript.vbs
content=Title of first column
extensions=*
FoldersPaths=0

If you have more than one "content" variable in your script, add them also:
content1=My second column   
content2=My third column

5\.Go to [Script] section and add our new script to the list of active scripts:
    [Script]
    ActiveScripts=CheckEncoding|Signature|MyScript

Save options.ini file.

Btw, You can add all scripts to ActiveScripts - it does not affect the performance, 
cause script runs only if you have the corresponding visible column in TC. You can 
create groups of columns (scripts) that you need, and can easily switch between these groups 
with TC (click right mouse button on columns - and select another group of columns\scripts )

__________________________________________________________________

That's almost all. Now we need to add a new column(s) in TC:

1. Restart Total Commander.
2. Click right mouse button on columns and select 'Configure custom columns' from popup menu.
3. Then click "New" > "Add Column" > button "+" >> Select "winscriptadv" >> "Title of first column", 
    click OK button.

That's all folks! Now you see your column and script result 
in front of each file.
