|
|
Hi all,
I use Irfanview for displaying graphics in Lister. Irfanview supports thumbnails of graphic files. Instead of viewing an image when pressing F3, I would like to view its thumbnail or alternatively thumbnails of all the graphics files in the current directory in Lister.
Irfanview supports command line parameters and in particular the following:
| Code: | | C:\Your IrfanView Directory\i_view32.exe .\ /thumbs |
Try this out at TC's command line and you are presented with thumbnails of all the images in the current directory.
I have tried passing the above parameters to Irfanview through the Path in Configuration->Options->Edit/View->Configure Internal Viewer
->Configure Lister but it does not work.
Any ideas on how to do this? Is it possible?

Did you try to put quotes around your command ?
It's possible there is a problem with the full path, if it contains white spaces, or if it is too long, ...
I don't use Irfanview, so I'm just trying a wild guess...

The current implemented interface to IrfanView is quite simple :
TC gives the current selected filename to IrfanView and gets back a corresponding bitmap through the clipboard.
No parameter, no special functionality ... just hardcoded  _________________ #5767 Personal license |

Pity. It would be nice to be able to view thumbnails in Lister. Anyone keen to create such a plugin?

I don't see any reason for a plugin.
Why you are not using QuickView (CTRL-Q) for this ?
Normally its fast enough and you see the full images and not only the thumbnails in the viewer pane. |

If you want a IrfanView thumbnail view of the current directory you can define a new Start-Menu item to i_view32.exe with as command line parameters.

You have touched on the very reason that I began this topic! I have been using QuickView to view image files but many of the files are large and you only get to see about a quarter of the image in the viewer pane (even with resizing the pane). That is why it would be conveniant to view a thumbnail of the image instead of the image itself.

Make sure focus is on the viewer pane. Then press the key F.  |

Well, though IView has a lot of command line parameters, Christian is in no hurry to support them. As far as I can remember, he told this wishes have a low priority in his list. So I don't expect image rotation or thumbnails view support via IView in the foreseeable future.
But you can get what you want (almost exactly ) via IEView Lister plugin. _________________ The Protoss do NOT run from their enemies.

Leif,
Thanks for the tip with pressing F in the view window. I was searching all over on how to do that. It is one of the features with Norton Commander along with Quick View Plus that I used for years. I just switched to TC and even registered it cause I was tired of NC messing up with XP. (I do have the NT version of NC, but it is buggy with XP).
I am really starting to like what I can do with TC...
