Configuration - Edit/View                            Back

 

Allows to set a viewer for F3 and an editor for F4.

 

For F3 you can use either the built-in Lister, or choose an external file viewer. There are two possibilities to call the internal Lister: For F3, you can choose to show the file under the cursor - choose Internal viewer with file under cursor for this option. Alternatively, you can choose to open the internal viewer with all selected files, and then go through these files with the n and p keys. When you have chosen one of these two methods for F3, you can still use the other one with Shift+F3.

 

As a third possibility, you can use one or more external viewers (e.g. Irfanview). You can assign a separate viewer to each fle extension plus one for all unassociated files. Alt+F3 normally calls the external viewer. When there is no association defined, TC will call the Windows quick view. If no quick view handler is defined, TC will call the default viewer.

 

Field Description

 

Viewer for F3 Allows selection of the file viewer for the function key F3 and button 3 below the command line:

 

Internal viewer with file under cursor

F3 will start the lister with the file under the cursor, not the selected files.

 

Internal viewer with selected files

F3 will start the lister with the files selected in the source directory. With n and p you can browse through these files.

 

HintPressing the SHIFT-key while pressing F3 will select the other method of the two methods described above!

 

External Viewer You can choose any other viewer(s) if you do not want to use the built in viewer.

 

Associations Here you can choose a different viewer for every file extension. The selection works the same as in the dialog box associate. However, the associations are saved in Wincmd.ini.

 

Default Here you can choose the file viewer which will be called if there is no association for the specific file. If you do not specify a viewer, the internal viewer will be used.

 

Configure internal Viewer

Opens the dialog box to configure the internal file viewer (Lister).

 

Editor for F4 ENTER the name of an editor to use with F4. Default is notepad.exe.
