Am I missing something here? I am not aware of TC Lister having an always on top setting....? Are you sure you are not thinking of Universal Viewer?and put always on top

Christian,
I would like to bump this feature request for TC 8.5. Basically we would like a possibility to keep quick view showing a file even when selecting other files / dirs in the opposite panel.
It could be as simple as pressing K (a toggle) when the quick view windows is active / focused.
TIA

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

Why not just use F3 instead? Then you have a standalone fixed view of a file.

Because that introduces UI work-flow issues of "who's on top" and where does the fixed view window appear, with some mousing and clicking (or alt-tabbing) typically required before you can get to the task (renaming, or whatever) that prompted the file viewing activity in the first place.ghisler(Author) wrote:Why not just use F3 instead?

The beauty of QuickView is that those issues are completely bypassed.
Perhaps a little pushpin in the QuickView titlebar would be a good status indicator/control.
In my experience with another tool, a separate QuickView "inside" each file panel is the cat's meow and more directly addresses the workflow issue that lies behind the request for a "locking" QuickView.

I use both TC and Lister maximized. If I used Lister instead of Quickview, I would have to resize it to fit over the opposite panel and use some tool to make it always on top.Why not just use F3 instead? Then you have a standalone fixed view of a file.
JohnFredC,
Yes, that would be nice, but too much more difficult to implement.In my experience with another tool, a separate QuickView "inside" each file panel is the cat's meow and more directly addresses the workflow issue that lies behind the request for a "locking" QuickView.

Re: [REQ] Lock quick view to a file
Just bumping this as I think it would be a useful feature, we already have several quick view modes so adding a feature to "lock" the quickview panel while you continue to operate on other files in the source panel would be very nice.
