Configuration - Edit/View Back
Allows you 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 file 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 F3 below the command line:
Configure internal Viewer
Opens the
dialog box to configure the internal file viewer (Lister).
External Viewer 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 (or none), the internal viewer will be used.
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.
Hotkeys Defines the default hotkeys for viewing files.
Internal viewer with file under cursor
Hotkey which will start the lister with the file under the cursor, not the selected files.
Internal viewer with selected files
Hotkey which will start the lister with the files selected in the source directory. With n and p you can browse through these files.
External Viewer Hotkey to open the external viewer defined above.
Editor for F4 ENTER the name of an editor to use with F4. Default is notepad.exe.
>> Opens a dialog to browse for the desired file.
Plugins/FTP: Automatically re-upload changed files
This determines how temporary files are handled which are viewed with F3 or edited with F4:
If checked, the file will be re-uploaded automatically when they are saved in the editor, also multiple times.
If unchecked, the file will be re-uploaded only after closing the editor, and only if the user confirms the re-upload. This is the method used by Total Commander 8.0x and older.
