You are now able to write your own plugins for EvenMore! Plugins can be written in any language which can output a standard Amiga library file.
You can now write a new type of plugin, for the EvenMore preferences. I have created an example plugin showing how this works. This will allow more complicated plugins to be created that require their own user settings. They will load and save their own config file when the EvenMore preferences are loaded or saved. They are also very simple to create, anyone with a basic knowledge of EasyGUI can make one!
Current plugins available are:-
| File | Version | Author | Function |
| AmigaWriter2Text.plugin | 1.06 | - | Convert
AmigaWriter files to plain text. Removed text formatting code. Text formatting in this file format is too complicated to recreate. Will now output to an exec list. |
| Arc2Text.plugin | 1.08 | - | Will browse LHA archives and load files from
them. You need to delete the #?.lha filetype from the filetypes.txt
file in order for this to work.
Will now browse and extract from LZX archives. Will now browse and extract from ZIP archives. Changed format from PACK to ARCH. Download the latest EvenMore executable for this to work. Now uses dynamic memory allocation for execlists. |
| Arc2TextPrefs.plugin | 1.02 | - | The preference file for the
Arc2Text plugin. This stores the location of the archive executables on
your disk
Updated to be compatible with the new MUI preference plugin. |
| Becker2Text.plugin | 1.02 | - | Loads BeckerText Word processor files. |
| Datatypes.plugin | 1.04 | - | Now
any text file that is recognised by Datatypes can be loaded through
EvenMore. NOTE: Plugins have precedence over datatypes. If you
do not want EvenMore to use its own plugins for a file you have the
datatype for, just delete the EvenMore plugin.
Updated Datatypes plugin so it will only be used
if binary code is detected in the first or last bytes of the file and
no other plugin is suitable. |
| Dir2Text.plugin | 1.13 | - | Will let you browse
directory trees. Drag a directory onto the window, and it will open
like a text file. You can click on filenames to open them, or drawers
to browse the next directory. Download new executable to use. Now uses dynamic memory allocation for execlists. |
| Dir2TextPrefs.plugin | 1.02 | - | A preference plugin for the
Dir2Text plugin allowing you to specify whether or not you want to
show or hide .info files when viewing a directory.
Added locale translation support. |
| Eml2Text.plugin | 1.17 | - | Will convert emails saved by Outlook
Express & Yam (hopefully others too?) into plain text format (also will
convert html part of email if available) Re-wrote plugin as it didn't work correctly with the changes to the HTML2Text plugin. |
| FileTypes.plugin | 1.06 | - | A module to allow a primitive
file typing function using a text file to determine which files are launched by which
programs.
Now uses less memory, and does not need to scan whole filetypes.txt if match is found. |
| FinalWriter2Text.plugin | 1.06 | - | Will convert FinalWriter and
FinalCopy documents to plain text
Will now output its buffer as an exec list. |
| Generic2Text.plugin | 1.10 | - | This plugin
will take any file not recognised by the plugins below, and if it
contains binary, strip all lines ending in CR or LF and display them.
Only used as a last resort if a specific plugin is not available.
Now uses an exec list for the file buffer. |
| GenericPrefs.plugin | 1.06 | - | A preference
plugin for the new Generic2Text plugin allowing you to specify opening
the file in a readable format or in hexadecimal.
Added check box to allow executables to be
launched instead of loaded as text. |
| Guide2Text.plugin | 1.28 | - | AmigaGuide documents converted
to text with formatting Updated Guide2Text plugin to use an exec list for the file buffer. Optimised Guide2Text plugin conversion routine. Copy routine for non-command characters in the guide file should be faster now. Will now open guide files from an exec list or a standard memory buffer. Now uses dynamic memory allocation for execlists. Line buffer was not large enough, and would truncate paragraphs if they were too long. |
| HTML2Text.plugin | 1.39 | - | HTML documents converted
to text with formatting
Updated HTML2Text plugin to open files viewed through the LHA plugin. Now outputs to an exec list. Can now parse a buffer stored as an exec list. Will now look inside of a file for the HTML command. This will enable you to view HTML files within archives. Sped up HTML plugin by not scanning for commands that are not interpreted. HTML plugin will now check for XML as well as HTML in the head of the file. Fixed bug. Was checking line length for every character parsed in the file. This caused a massive slow down. |
| MacWORD2Text.plugin | 1.03 | - | Converts MacWORD 4,5,6,2001 documents to
plain text Fixed a small bug which caused EvenMore to always think the file was a MacWORD plugin Start and end position of text more accurately determined in MacWord2Text plugin. It will also output to an exec list. |
| MSWord2Text.plugin | 1.45 | - | Microsoft Word 95/2000
converted to text
Will now output to an exec list. Fixed bug in MSWord2Text plugin which broke file recognition. |
| PowerArt103.lzx | 1.03 | aGGreSSor/team PowerAmiga | Opens PowerArt ASCII documents: |
| PowerPacker.plugin | 1.04 | - | Will uncompress PowerPacker files before passing them onto the main plugin system. Will not yet decrypt PX20 files or ask for passwords. |
| PrefsEasyGUI.plugin | 1.14 | - | The main
preferences for EvenMore is now a plugin. This will allow users to
create their own preference window in their favourite GUI, providing
they also convert any plugins that have their own preference page. See
the PluginSrc.lha for source code, and contact me if you are
interested in doing this.
Custom screen name will now always be 'EvenMore'.
Removed 'Go to screen' function from main program and added public
screen list to preference GUI. |
| PrefsMUI.plugin | 1.02 | - | The main
preferences for EvenMore using the MUI graphics interface. Use either this
plugin or the EasyGUI preference plugin, but not both at the same time.
Fixed bug. Did not set border width after style change on borders. |
| ProWrite2Text.plugin | 1.04 | - | Will convert ProWrite documents to plain text Will now output it's buffer to an object list. It will also not scan for commands which are not interpreted by EvenMore. |

basic StarWriter (Open Office/StarOffice) plugin. Will open StarWriter
versions 3 & 4. Also download the update to the
MSWord plugin to allow this one to work. Will now output buffer to an exec list. |
| Troff2Text.plugin | 1.08 | - | Linux manual files converted to text with formatting. This one's Work In Progress! It works, but there is a few formatting problems. |
| WordPerfect2Text.plugin | 1.10 | - | Converts
WordPerfect documents to ANSI text.
Now uses dynamic memory allocation for execlists. |
| WordWorth2Text.plugin | 1.09 | - | WordWorth documents converted to text. Tested on WordWorth 3.1se |
| Wordwrap.plugin | 1.12 | - | If no other
plugins have been used on the file, this plugin will check to see if
it exceeds 80 characters wide, and if so will word-wrap it accordingly. Wordwrapping plugin was not wrapping correctly for execlists. Should not wrap in the middle of links any more. Will now output its buffer as an exec list. Was not displaying the remainder of text from a line after the wrapped lines had been printed. Fixed bug. Was seeking on past the end of a file if it did not end in a linefeed. |
If you happen to write any plugins yourself, drop me an email, and I can include the .plugin file in the EvenMore archive or on the web page. All source will of course be copyrighted by yourself.
