XYplorer Beta Club

Hi,
i need some advise. Searched the forum but didnt find an answer. May my bad english is the fault, because the question is very simple!

First of all:
Previewd Formats: .msg in the configuration:yes
Vista
Office 2003

Mistake:
There is no preview from .msg files! There comes just the phrase: Not a text file

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

try this: uncheck msg in "Text files" but check it in "Web & office files".

Don

This dont work either. But the Message changed:

File type excluded from preview in configuration.
plus button: Preview now

When i push the button, the effect is that the preview window closes ...

seems strange that this is an unknown problem, there should be an easy solution?!

Whoops, you are right! Will fix in a minute...

...thats nice, i am not too stupid.

i was testing the xyplorer and i like it very much but wont buy it now because the preview is just possible in the window on the bottom.

thats not practially for me because i can see just a very small part of the document and have to scroll arround. the preview is for me almost useless ... I read that this may change. then i rethink my decision ...

cheers durum

Vertical Preview Panel right of the file list(s) ala Vista/Win 7 is planned on the roadmap: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4382

In case you did not notice: You can enlarge the preview panel by dragging the horizontal splitter below the statusbar.

Or you can use the Maximize/Minimize toolbar icon (or the F12 key) to make the preview almost the entire screen...that is more preview area than some other FM's have.

Thanks for the advises.

@ admin: dragging, yes i noticed but its even to small for me
@ j_c_hallgreen: i want to enlarge the preview of the document and not the folder. When i push the f12 button the preview i want bigger dissapears?! my fault or just a misanderstanding? hope you understand what i wrote ...

So you're not seeing a layout something similar to this when you use the Maximize (plus Wide Info Panel)? Note which layout toolbar icons I've got active....Because this is the largest it can be, since one must always see some XY overhead at top...and I'm only on a 1024x768 screen so yours may be larger.

Ok, know i see what you mean ...
Thanks for your good help!!!

then there is just the problem with the email preview ...

namely?

There is no email preview. When i click an Email there comes a window where i can decide to open, save or abort the mail. Open will open the mail in outlook. What i need is a preview ...

Please try a workaround posted here (if it's acceptable, of course): http://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=office

i have seen this before. i use vista and office 2003 but the workaround is for office 2007.

so it should be a different problem?
