GO FOLDERCONTENT open file

The documentation for GO FOLDERCONTENT says

and files in the generated list can be selected to open that file

but when using a command like
GO "D:\Pictures\+Upscaled (4K)" FOLDERCONTENT="filefilter=*.png",nodirs,hideext
to list images, then clicking on an image does nothing, to get the default associated application to launch you have to select it from the right-click menu.

Try adding the button parameter or similar. Or double-click the files, in modes where one click isn’t enough on its own.

Does not work, it opens folder in lister.

Opens the default program - the Directory Opus Viewer, but it only displays last viewed image not the clicked image.

Just thought you should know, am using the new embedded function parameter with them now, which is working nicely, many thanks, awesome as usual.

This allows for something like

GO "D:\Pictures\images" FOLDERCONTENT="filefilter=*.png",nodirs,hideext
[Show NOUSEEXISTING AUTOFILELIST]

to open an image in viewer from a menu

FWIW, this on its own works fine here (adjusting the path for one I have):

GO "D:\Pictures\images" FOLDERCONTENT="filefilter=*.png",nodirs,hideext

Do you have Preferences / Viewer / Standalone Viewer / Slideshow / Automatic slideshow turned on? That's the only thing I can think of that might change which file is displayed when the viewer opens.

Edit: Could also happen with a script that automatically lister-links new viewers, maybe.

Have tweaked all the settings, slideshow is off - cannot get it to open in viewer, unless above command is used.

Something might be messed up with the file type (or file type group) double-click events, maybe.

After some more tweaking this


and setting filetype to
image
it is now working :slight_smile: many thanks.
