Wanted: x64 versions of SyncToy, RAW Thumbnail and Color Applet

Posted: 09-20-2006, 04:09 PM
Are there any plans to produce versions of SyncToy, RAW Thumbnail Viewer and
the Color Control Panel Applet that are compatible with Windows XP x64
edition?

The advertising for x64 states that one of the groups it is aimed at are
"Professional and amateur photographers" who "increasingly use PCs to do
sophisticated video editing and photo manipulation." (see
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/6...s/benefit.mspx )

Yet these three key applications are not currently available on x64.

They are all written using the .NET Framework, which is available for x64,
so why is there an issue?

The standard SyncToy works fine on XP x64.

The CMD here powertoy still works.
Open a text file and save it as cmdhere.inf
Put the following text inside it:
;
; "CMD Prompt Here" PowerToy
;
; Copyright 1996 Microsoft Corporation
;
[version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"

[CmdHereInstall]
CopyFiles = CmdHere.Files.Inf
AddReg = CmdHere.Reg

[DefaultInstall]
CopyFiles = CmdHere.Files.Inf
AddReg = CmdHere.Reg

[DefaultUnInstall]
DelFiles = CmdHere.Files.Inf
DelReg = CmdHere.Reg

[SourceDisksNames]
55="CMD Prompt Here","",1

[SourceDisksFiles]
CmdHere.INF=55

[DestinationDirs]
CmdHere.Files.Inf = 17

[CmdHere.Files.Inf]
CmdHere.INF

[CmdHere.Reg]
HKLM,%UDHERE%,DisplayName,,"%CmdHereName%"
HKLM,%UDHERE%,UninstallString,,"rundll32.exe
syssetup.dll,SetupInfObjectInstallAction DefaultUninstall 132
%17%\CmdHere.inf"
HKCR,Directory\Shell\CmdHere,,,"%CmdHereAccel%"
HKCR,Directory\Shell\CmdHere\command,,,"%11%\cmd.e xe /k cd ""%1"""
HKCR,Drive\Shell\CmdHere,,,"%CmdHereAccel%"
HKCR,Drive\Shell\CmdHere\command,,,"%11%\cmd.exe /k cd ""%1"""

[Strings]
CmdHereName="CMD Prompt Here PowerToy"
CmdHereAccel="CMD &Prompt Here"
UDHERE="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Uninstall\CmdHere"

Install it by right clicking the file and choosing install.

Thanks Larry - I hadn't tried running SyncToy as the System Requirements
state that it only works for Win XP SP2, not x64 edition. But you're right,
it works fine.

So now I just need versions of the RAW Thumbnail Viewer and the Color
Control Panel Applet for x64.

Thanks Carlos, but I wasn't asking about the "CMD Here" powertoy. I was
asking about:

Microsoft Color Control Panel Applet for Windows X
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

and

Microsoft RAW Image Thumbnailer and Viewer for Windows XP
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Vista has Command Prompt Here built-in.
(Shift+Right-click on a folder.)

I used 1.2 on x64 but 1.4 does not seem to work on x64. It would be nice to
have a true x64 version but at the moment I just want the latest version to
work.
