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 Sad

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
Code:
%P /thumbs
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. Laughing

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 Wink) via IEView Lister plugin.

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...
