It would be nice to have a blacked-out preview (black screen or other) when starting a default lister with viewer pane on. Reason: privacy reasons when starting Dopus when projecting screen.
The viewer pane is already empty if it opens with a new window. It won't display anything until you select a file.
I understand. But when showing a random file in preview and then hitting "settings" + "set as default lister" the default previewed file is saved as well. And showing up when launching Dopus.
As I change my default lister quite often (due to folder changes) it happens that a random file is previewed without me realising it, until I'm in front of an audience, launching my filebrowser.
I know I have a workaround, and that this can be prevented by pointing the preview pane to a specific file (see attachment), before resetting the default lister, but I have to think about it each time I reset the default lister.
That doesn't happen here. The file selection isn't remembered by the default lister or layouts. When a new window opens, nothing is selected.
If things (other than the very first item, in some situations) are being selected in new windows, the only thing I can think of that would do that is a script add-in that has been installed. (Or you're doing something that asks Opus to open a folder and display a particular file, but you'd need to go out of your way to do that normally.)
Thx, will investigate further. And I'm wrong. Default settings does not save the previewed file, but on the the other hand in I every case dopus opens, it opens a certain file in the preview pane I see now. But I don't find logic behind it.
I have a script that does "close" and "new".
Every time another file shows up in the preview pane... strange.
Looked into this further. I don't find any logic. So when relaunching Dopus in default lister, each time another file is shown in the preview pane. Dopus seems to cycle through 3 or 4 of them on each instance. A pdf, a movie file, an exe file. All in different folders. Can provide screenrecording, but via pm.
Have you tried turning off that script? It’s the only thing I can think of which would make the viewer pane show a random file in a new window.
