Custom thumbnail view

Post by *krstatzar »

Is it possible to add several buttons to Button Bar and by clicking them to change size of thumbnail view?

Something like cm_Src Thumbs 256, cm_Src Thumbs 96, cm_Src Thumbs 64...
Numbers are pixels I think you get the idea.

You can probably do it with some scripting if you have some programming skills. Launching the thumbnails config pane using command cm_ThumbnailsConfig and then putting on the right fields the size you which and then apply...

Editing ini file is only effective after relaunch..

Re: Custom thumbnail view with different IrfanView INIs

A work around would be for those who use IrfanView:


Add several button to launch IV in Thumbs mode,
each button utilize a different IV-INI with different thunbs-size settings.



How-to


1. create one folder (best in IV folder) pro wanted thumbnail size, f.ex.
...\IrfanView\INI-Thumbs500\
...\IrfanView\INI-Thumbs150\
....
This is for to store a IV-Ini with special set thumbnail size.


2. create one TC button pro wanted thumbnail size with
TC parameter "%P" and
IV parameters "/thumbs" and "/ini="

For the INI-Parameter we have to write the full path to the new INI folder,
as IV didn't expand relative paths or env vars like %Commander_Path% (or i did it wrong?)


CMD: "X:\TotalCmd\TOOLs\IrfanView\i_view32.exe"
PARAM: "%P" /thumbs
    /INI="X:\TotalCmd\TOOLs\IrfanView\INI-Thumbs500"
-or-
    /INI="X:\TotalCmd\TOOLs\IrfanView\INI-Thumbs150"
respectively





Example button 1 - with \INI-Thumbs500\:

Code: Select all

CMD   : "%Commander_Path%\TOOLs\IrfanView\i_view32.exe"
PARAM: "%P" /thumbs /ini="X:\TotalCmd\TOOLs\IrfanView\INI-Thumbs500"
ICON  : %Commander_Path%\TOOLs\IrfanView\i_view32.exe
Tooltip: i_view32 /THUMBs 500x500
[face=comicsansms](Launch IrfanView, on the very first time go to "Set thumbnails options" and set to 500x500)[/face]



Example button 2 - with \INI-Thumbs150\:

Code: Select all

CMD   : "%Commander_Path%\TOOLs\IrfanView\i_view32.exe"
PARAM: "%P" /thumbs /ini="X:\TotalCmd\TOOLs\IrfanView\INI-Thumbs150"
ICON  : %Commander_Path%\TOOLs\IrfanView\i_view32.exe"
Tooltip: i_view32 /THUMBs 150x150
[face=comicsansms](Launch IrfanView, on the very first time go to "Set thumbnails options" and set to 150x150)[/face]



Example button 3 - with default IV-INI:

Code: Select all

CMD   : "%Commander_Path%\TOOLs\IrfanView\i_view32.exe"
PARAM: "%P" /thumbs
ICON  : %Commander_Path%\TOOLs\IrfanView\i_view32.exe"
Tooltip: i_view32 /THUMBs default size



Next go to a folder with pictures and
- click each button to launch IV in Thumps-mode.
- Go to IVs Options menu > Set thumbnails options...
- Set wanted size, here 500x500 (and 150x150 for next button)
- Close IV, the INI is written.

Your buttons are ready to use any time you want to see thumbnails in different sizes.



HTH? 8)   :P
