Hide File Extension in Listing

[parade]

Hello,

when "Hide File Extension in Listing" is activated I can't preview/play a file in that folder. Although the thumbs are no longer visible.
That ist obviously so because the listed filename instead of the real filename is taken for thums/previews.
Is there any way to make ToG take the real filename with the extension?

Greetings

The preview code will not work without an extension... i just tested the new code and that will not work either, we require file extensions to determine some javascript functionality, feed files to players etc.. not so much in the new codes... but the old code was even more reliant on the extension. Both ToG and Terayon will have this loss of functionality without extensions.

The thumbnails aren't visible because the file extension is essential to the name of the file of the previews.

Ino if i were a user of a website i'd want to know the extension of a file before i download it anyway. 

So leave that option off, and you'll have no problems. I'll put this in the readme when we release.

if your tpl needs to detect the filetype, it can use %item-ext%.

i noticed it doesn't work with that option enabled, but it's a bug, and it will be fixed in next build. so you can rely on it.

Thanks but i don't know how you will fix it? We have to use %item-name% for mp3 files because item-url is interpreted differently by firefox and ie (url encoding), so we have to convert it manually with javascript for perfect functionality... Will wait and see i guess. Maybe item-ext is the answer.

On second thoughts... probably not. meh we'll sort something out

so that it works the same with that option enabled or disabled

if we feed %item-name%.%item-ext% to the scripts, doesnt that add the extension twice to the name if the option is disabled?

[rejetto]

i said "detect the filetype", and for such job to use both %item-name% and %item-ext% makes no sense.

I agree with rejetto.

And that was my question about it also GE. >_<
