TC Plugin Unloader - unloads WLX WDX WCX WFX automatically 1.0.2
Description
TC Plugin Unloader lets external tools prepare updates, replacements, renames, or deletion of Total Commander plugin files while Total Commander is running.The program watches the plugin files configured in wincmd.ini. When another process requests write, delete, rename, or replace access, TC Plugin Unloader:
notices the request with a shared Read/Handle (RH) opportunistic lock;
asks every detected Total Commander instance to unload the affected plugin category;
records that the operation may need a retry; and
watches the replacement file again after an atomic rename or replace.
Ordinary read access does not cause plugins to be unloaded.
RH monitoring is notification-only: it does not stop the original file operation. If the first replacement fails because Total Commander still holds the DLL, repeat the copy after the log reports the release request. The category buttons in the GUI are the reliable way to prepare a replacement before starting a copy.
