I really like this idea. Some basic meta information editing can be very useful. Although, viewing is definitely nice. Like renaming masters, author, comments, bash tags, file flags, or other meta information.
I'm afraid it's a bit too much for this project. Editing would require to move data around in the file. For the start I'd better figure out how to add custom properties to better describe the fields this thing displays.
I'll add edit capabilities if I'd have have time and a good solution on how to do that without trying to recreate a crappy and bugged ripoff of xEdit.
Thanks for making this. Having this information in explorer makes it even more convenient to learn plugin information at a glance, like form version or plugin comments that often get ignored.
64 bit version works fine, 32 bit version seems to have some kind of issue though. i have xyplorer as well as another explorer plugin that lets you use the 32 bit context menu, and this 32 bit shellextension crashes both of them for some reason. all my other 32 bit extensions work fine though. the last time i saw a shell extension crash xyplorer was with some acronis backup shell view so maybe there's some incompatibility there, but it crashed the 32 bit file explorer context menu too so idk
edit: btw registering the 64 bit version, and using xyplorer's 'show 64 bit context menu' command, works fine in xyplorer. but normally it uses the 32 bit context menu so i wish the 32 bit version worked
I don't know either. I wasn't using both DLLs at the same time, I unregistered the 64bit version and registered the 32bit version and rebooted. Then when I right click something in file explorer or xyplorer, the program crashes. If I disable the plugin that enables the 32bit context menu and switch to the 64bit DLL, then that fixes it for file explorer, and it technically works in xyplorer since you can use a 64bit context menu, but there are a lot of downsides so I use the 32bit context menu. unfortunately the creator of that program has no plans to make a 64bit version, so to use the 64bit context menu it has to basically use the regular shell, so you lose all the custom commands in xyplorer. Oh well

Its more than usable for pretty much everything that you'll be doing.
It's based off xEdit
