Universal Viewer QuickView script

[Alextp]

But I really mean that as a last measure we can promote upgraded API ourselves.

I doubt.

Code:

ListLoad usially works *not* like this:

Code: Select all

  if not Created(window) then
    Create(window);
  OpenFileIn(window);

but like this:

Code: Select all

  Create(window); //always new instance created!
  OpenFileIn(window);

Did you see this on Icfu's webpage?:

DlgXRSizer_4_6_1.zip Resize and extend open/save dialogs and some other handy features

Maybe it'll help you with Dialogs+Viewer ext.

[majkinetor !]

Thx Alextp.

I don't have problem with resizing and extending, but thx for care. I am sure that after I add several new things to Favmenu that you will hardly find any helper out there that does the same. I know, since I tried them all. Only AutoDialogs by MetaCreations kicked ass, but now with "add current dir" in dialogs you don't have any reason to use it instead of Favmenu, since it is larger, slower and the only difference is it has big icons and draw a button on a caption. I can do that, but I wanted favmenu not to use resources until you need it. I may add in the future resident Favmenu, that will add button in OpenSave dialogs and do other fency stuf, like resizing, moving etc... but I designed whole application to be there only when you need it.

This is updated beta of QV script.

- Support for Open/Save/Office2003 dialogs. Doesn't work on Desktop. Surrely works in HD folders.

- Better handling and display
Left, Right, Up, Down & Left Mouse Button now update QuickView. TAB use is prevented in TC while QV is active so to forbid activation of other panel.

- Script will try to find path via Registry. If not it will assume Viewer is in the same folder.
- Works only in active dialogs or if TC is active

Call with CTRL Q
In this beta movement of TC/Dialog window is not compensated. This is minor make-up if you all support this to be further developed.

DOWNLOAD
1. Script & Viewer
2. Video with new features (not on rapidshare)


Known bugs:
- You can not enter folders in TC with mouse dbl clicks when QV is active. Use ENTER for now.

You need AutoHotKey (www.autohotkey.com).
Install AHK and run this script. Then open TC and press Ctrl-Q - script will run. Press Ctrl-Q again to stop.

Viewer.exe must be in the script directory.

Viewer.exe must be in the script directory

It doesn't if he installed latest version.

could you help me - what else do I need to use it??

This is preview only, when I finally release something it will probably be distrubuted as an exe version also along with ahk (probably with Viewer itself, if Alex aproves...). Although it is far far from perfect, it can be very useful even now, and the only problem is that window is not docked to TC and dialog, so don't move those windows.... Start with CTRL Q when you need it, and press the same hotkey when you finish. Your testing will be appreciated.

Alex, how it works in dialogs in your localised version of Windows ?

Does it work in "My documents" ?

[Alextp]

2majkinetor !

Error:
Failed attempt to launch program:
Action: <C:\Program Files\Universal Viewer /Q /P=...>

You missed "\Viewer.exe" and quotes.

It doesn't work in dialogs. I press Ctrl-Q, Viewer appears to the right of dialog, but no file is passed to viewer. I click on files - no effect...

[tosbsas]

ah, ok. Using ctrk w opens the text I wanna view in the oposite window. Will check out this autohotkey - any bugs or things to look for?

I did...

It doesn't work in dialogs.

I don't have localised verion to try.
Please, send me the picture of your Open dialog with "look in" combo box list open on some folder HD folder. I will send you debug version that will display tooltips with some information tomorrow.

any bugs or things to look for?

Yup, you have to check if connection works. Not the make-up things. Try it in Open/Save/Office 2003 dialogs, most importantly hard disk folders, then my documents virtual folder.

I don't know what is "look in" combobox..

[majkinetor !]

that is "look in" combo box, in your case, Папка combo. The picture is good.

I do't know why it doesn't work in HD folders....

OK, lets try to find out what is the problem.

Please download new Favmenu version here:
www.r-moth.com/code/TCFavmenu2.rar

Then go to Open dialog and use "Add curent dir" menu item. Input box will appear that will ask you for the title of the new menu item. Above it, full path of the new menu item is displayed. U need to check this path to see if it is recognised correctly. According to this picture you posted, it shouldn't work in Обшие документби, My Documents, My documents trio.
But on Data(D), System(C).. and any other partition, it should work.
