[SCRIPT] HTML Image Preview

[klownboy]

Not possible.

Oh well, thanks TheQwerty. No chance for executing the Windows default action either I assume?

In the change log you mention, "◦Adds global for calling scripts to specify images." Does that mean I should be able to specify a global for "$G_FILTERS = *.gif" to only show gif files in a calling script . I ask because previously I was specifying "perm $P_THEQWERTY_HTML_IMAGE_PREVIEW__FILTERS = *.gif" in the CTB left click button and "*.jpg" for the right-click before the load statement.
Thanks

Not from the preview window but with v2.0 the showing of previews has been separated from the action taken on the selected items. So you can now do something like:

Code: Select all

"Open Images"
  Load 'HTMLImagePreview', 'showPreview', 'f';
  Global $G_RESULTS;

  if ($G_RESULTS != '') {
    $app = 'C:\Path\To\Program.exe';
    OpenWith $app, 's', $G_RESULTS;
  }

In the change log you mention, "◦Adds global for calling scripts to specify images." Does that mean I should be able to specify a global for "$G_FILTERS = *.gif" to only show gif files in a calling script .

No.. it meant you could set the global $G_IMAGES to a list of images to display in the preview and the script would show those images without applying any filtering.

As of v2.0 there's also the possibility to override the configured filters by setting the global variable $G_FILTERS_OVERRIDE.

Code: Select all

"Show JPGs, GIFs, and PNGs in Images Paper Folder"
  Global $G_IMAGES = FormatList(PaperFolder('Images',,<crlf>,'r'), 'fdents', <crlf>, "*.jpg<crlf>*.gif<crlf>*.png");
  Load 'HTMLImagePreview', 'showPreview', 'f';

"HTML Image Preview: Select from GIFs"
  Global $G_FILTERS_OVERRIDE = '*.gif';
  Load 'HTMLImagePreview', 'select', 'f';

"HTML Image Preview: Archive PNGs & JPGs"
  Global $G_FILTERS_OVERRIDE = '*.png;*.jpg';
  Load 'HTMLImagePreview', 'archive', 'f';

Thanks TheQwerty for both the explanations and the update.

I haven't experimented too much yet, but I know I can do something like this in the CTB left or right click dialog box...

Code: Select all

Global $G_FILTERS_OVERRIDE = '*.gif'; Load 'HTMLImagePreview', 'select', 'f';

One nice thing about going this route, especially if the user is strictly using this for one or two different image types, is that it saves you from needing the perm variable for the filter and if you change the default Window size as you want it, it saves needing the Window size perm as well.

Did you have an extra "Preview" in the menu?

Code: Select all

"Preview && Pr&eview && Preview Images : narrow"

Thanks again,
Ken

As I said previously, the filters PV should be set to all the formats which can be displayed properly in HTML, not those that the user wishes to preview. This new global covers the latter case.

No need to remove any of the PVs.

Nope.. it's previews all the way down.

It shows a preview of the selected images until you quit selecting images. The label 'narrow' might shine light better as when used you're narrowing down the images with each selection. It should probably select the final image when it's a single item but meh.

Hi TheQwerty,
I tried the "Open Images" option you suggested and it worked quite nicely. I did change the SC 'openwith' parameter from 's' to 'm' in case I had multiple images selected. Different graphics programs will behave differently I'm sure, but Image Eye would not open multiple selections unless I used 'm'. It is too bad though that 'opening' of the image couldn't be accomplished from the preview...oh well, no biggie.
Thanks again,
Ken
