Title: Image Preview
Post by: parcher on February 01, 2020, 00:49:14
There are instances where I have so many images in a folder that I don't want to turn on thumbnail view (to not take up resources) and I don't want to cycle through endless images to find the one I want. I'd like to merely hover my pointer on the filename and get a pop-up preview of the image.

This program (https://contextmagic.com/instant-viewer/) works for Internet Explorer (I haven't tried it), but you have to pay for the full version.

Is there some script or program I can use in conjunction with Multicommander to provide image previews?

EDIT: I should have searched before posting, as I see this has been addressed before here (http://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php/topic,236.msg284.html#msg284) and here (http://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php/topic,1542.msg5571.html#msg5571).

You say, "A built in picture viewer and configuration of external viewers is something that is very high up on the todo list."

But I suppose I could create a user-defined command to open an external viewer, but I'd prefer if a large thumbnail could appear upon hovering on the filename with the pointer.

There is a build in viewer,

But you want to show the image as the hover over info is now.. (tooltip).
It is something that I have planned. But it is not on top on my todo list. It is something that will take lots of time to add, And I got other things I want to add first.
