Hi all,
First of all I want to tank you "TCUP" team for your great work. (I'm a big fan of TCUP since I sarted using it about 2 years ago).
I don't remember if in older versions I used to use that much "Lister" plugins, but on late releases I have noticed some filetypes are messed up, or at least for a "Portable" TCUP installation to an USB HDD.
What I mean is for example if you want to see a .xls file (Ctrl + Q), by default the "IEView" plugin tries to "download" the file in question (ActiveX -> MsWord), but when I take a look at wincmd.ini the XLS extension should be managed by the xBaseView.
What I have seen so far is that "IEView" and "xBaseView" perhaps are great plugins for those using a normal windows installation with MsOffice also installed, but for me it doesn't fit because:
1)Almost everywhere I go with my portable environment (80GB USB HDD) MsOffice is not present because it has being replaced by OpenOffice.
2)No one usually has installed any database driver on their systems.
I bypased this inconvenience by installing the "Excellence" plugin for XLS files (wich indeed manage XLS files without needing any other program or library), put this plugin in place of [color]"IEView"[/color] and this one moved to the las place on le plugins list.
By the way I have changed the included Putty with a "portable" one that saves its configuration to a .putty folder, also WinVNC (Better usability) is in place of TighVNC.
I would like to know how do you fine tune TCUP for "portable" use, and if there are any other plugins that could replace the ones that need an external library/driver/program.
