Quick View - Option to show nothing?
Posted: 20.06.2018, 07:46
Hi,
I have Quick View open at all times, and find it useful.
However, is there a way to set certain File Types (eg *.zip, *.mdb, *.pff, *.exe) to show nothing in the Quick View panel (and thus not place a lock on the file). Similar to how WindowsExplorer simply shows 'No preview available'.
This is similar to the query by Context in Nov2017 of Can Quick View of ZIP display an icon? https://freecommander.com/forum/viewtop ... iew#p26517
I am hitting issues where other programs cannot access or run certain tasks against certain file types due to FreeCommander's Quick Viewer showing the file in the Quick Viewer - (the viewer is displaying the machine code - which I dont need to see).
For example: Double-clicking on a Microsoft access database (*.mdb) will open the database, however I cant then do Compact and Repair Database until I go back to FreeCommander and click on a different file to stop the one I am working on being held open by the Quick Viewer.
I've gone into Tools - Settings - View - Viewer - Viewer (Use same settings for viewer and quick viewer is ticked)
But cant see anywhere to exclude file types. I have unticked Auto-detect text files, which doesn't help. Is there a setting of File types - as DoNothing in an .INI file ?
Thanks for your time
