Legacy Plugins for older Where Is It? versions

WhereIsIt 2.00 has introduced a special programming interface, Description API, which allows developing plugins. Description plugins are used during the process of scanning the media and have the task of providing descriptions for files, folders, or media itself. Anybody with sufficient programming skills to develop a regular DLL library, in any programming language, can extend WhereIsIt's description thumbnails importing capabilities by providing the program with a new plugin. If you have a description source that WhereIsIt can not use at this time, for example, a text file in a non-supported format, you can write your own plugin that will process such files and allow WhereIsIt to automatically import descriptions from that source. Version 2 plugins are fairly simple and only have one task, to import descriptions. Plugins in version 3 and newer can go beyond that and can also provide thumbnails and alias names, import CDDB data on request from cataloged data, support the internal image viewer with graphics file formats, etc. Plugin Size Version Release date Main Description Plugins 74 kB 1.50 June 20th 2000 The Main Description Plugin module is the one that takes care of importing most of supported description sources in WhereIsIt. This module is always included with the program package as well, however module available here may be newer and allows you to update description support without having to download the entire program. Graphics Description Plugins 50 kB 1.26 January 31st 2000 Graphics description is a supplemental plugins module for importing details about most often used graphic file formats in use today. All plugins provide details such as width, height, and color depth of the picture, and most of them (GIF, JPG, TIFF, PSD, and PNG) can extract more detailed information if available, as well. Generic Text File Plugin 39 kB 0.91 April 2nd 1999 This plugin is capable of automatically importing user-defined text files as descriptions for parent items (folders) during media scan. This feature was in high demand among WhereIsIt users, however it is likely to produce much longer catalog files with importing more or less irrelevant text. because of that, this plugin is not officially a part of WhereIsIt and is not supported in any way. Use on your own responsibility!

Plugins for WhereIsIt version 2 will work in newer WhereIsIt 3.xx as well, although missing on some of the new features. If available, rather use newer version of the same plugins, specifically developed for version 3 and newer.
