We currently rely on an ARP entry including DisplayName and DisplayVersion for detection. The IrfanView Plugins installer does not create an entry in Add/Remove Programs, preventing us from adding it to the catalog at this time.
Hi Jason,
as PATCHMYPC-I-4139 is shipped, will this idea get some update? :)
We currently rely on an ARP entry for DisplayName and DisplayVersion for detection. However, the IrfanView Plugins installer does not create an entry in Add/Remove Programs, preventing us from adding it to the catalog.
A potential workaround, once we have PSADT integration, would be to chain both the IrfanView and IrfanView Plugins installers together within the same script.
Please upvote the following idea for PSADT integration: https://ideas.patchmypc.com/ideas/PATCHMYPC-I-4139
i want to push that as well, adding plugins via script is a pain because you need to update it for every new version manually
The plugins aren't really optional, they NEED to be there for compatibility with all the formats IrfanView supports
I can't tell, has this request been formerly closed or is there still hope for the plugins to be added as an option for installing/patching Irfanview?
I really don't know why someone would ever want Irfanview installed without the plugins included.
Bump
+1 to this plugin. Would be very helpful.
Please could we have this put into PatchMyPC soon ? We really need it.
+1 yes please
for hevc, heic, heif support
As a workaround for now, you can use the pre/post script feature and run the EXE with the silent command for the plugins.
I want to bring this back to attention. You already have the IrfanView application itself. But without the plugins, it is (at least for us) absolutely useless. I cannot update IV if there are no new plugins as well.
