Feature Request: Choose internal viewer from lister window

Post by *patxito »

It's yet implemented Start Lister and load file with internal viewer (no plugins or multimedia) ALT+SHIFT+F3, before loading the file, but it isn't implemented FROM lister window.

Now it's possible to change the pluging for viewing the file in lister window, but not changing to the internal viewer.

It would be in options menu -> 8-Internal file lister.

Can't you can just press 1, 2 or 3 - those three views are all handled by the internal Lister. Press 4 to use plugin, and repeat pressing 4 to toggle between plugisn.

Support for patxito's idea !

1,2,3 does not help with a lot of file types: images, multimedia files and rtf files.

Well. patxito asked for the same functionality as when using ALT+SHIFT+F3.

When you use ALT+SHIFT+F3 on for example an image you get the same view as pressing 1.

But I can support a request for disabeling plugins temporarily - but then I would like two options for multimedia:

8 - Use IrfanView/XnView (if installed)
9 - Use Listers own image view (if any)

You are right! I have missed the Alt+Shift+F3 in his post.

But generally it would be very convenient to have the option to "switch back" to the internal lister, if needed. At present, once a file has been opened with a plugin there is no way to go back to the lister EVEN if the lister has the capability to show the file(e.g. rtf, bmp...). Pressing "4" cycles through the plugins but never returns to the lister.

Inside viewer window there is no choice to load internal lister. I use a lot of useful plugins, like Imagine, Syn, IEview, and so on. But I missed the right RTF view, because it's viewed always with Syn. Internal viewer is enougth for me for this file type. But I can't access internal viewer INSIDE the lister window if any pluging has been loaded. How can be solved? The best way is offering another viewing choice in Options menu: 8-Internal file lister.

The problem is that the internal viewer has 6 modes (1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7) - which one should be used when your mode 8 is chosen? Should it use automatic detection?

No matter of how, but there would be a way for viewing a loaded file in lister with the internal viewer. Please, Ghisler, improve it.
