Parameter for Show command

Could you guys please help me with that? Upgraded to 13.13 and trying now to get the viewer opened with enabled lister link and at a specified position with a fixed size, so I tried:

Show LISTERLINK USEEXISTING=yes,avoid POS 790,1 SIZE 800,400 VIEWPANECMD=zoomgrow

But with these parameters, nothings happens. If I skip the "VIEWPANECMD=zoomgrow" portion, the viewer opens at least, but the fixed pos and size is ignored. At least the lister link works.

Would be glad to know what I did wrong.

Thanks!

Try

VIEWERCMD=zoom,grow

Thanks for your help! But it doesn't fix the issue, and the doc mentions "zoomgrow":

Are we talking about the standalone viewer or the viewer pane?

Standalone viewer! Thanks for mentioning it, I used the wrong set of commands.

My current parameters are
Show POS 790,1 SIZE 800,400 LISTERLINK=toggle

Pos and size is still ignored, and if I add VIEWERCMD=zoom,grow the viewer won't open at all.

It's the VIEWERCMD argument upsetting it, it can't be combined with actually opening the viewer.

If you want to sent a command to a newly opened viewer you need to send it as an embedded command:

Show LISTERLINK USEEXISTING=yes,avoid POS 790,1 SIZE 800,400
[Show VIEWPANECMD=zoomgrow]

Many thanks, specifying a new command in a new line is working fine!

Any idea why the POS and SIZE statements are ignored? Currently the viewer always opens at the previous position and with the previous size. Actually this is fine for me, because my settings doesn't allow the images to modify the viewer window size/pos.

Just would be interested why these parameters are ignored.

Thanks!

Oh, and one more thing, in Dopus 12 I could only switch between the selected files/images when I opened the viewer. I found that very handy. Now, the whole folder is browsed, regardless of my selection. How can I restore the old behaviour?

The old behaviour is still what you get by default. It’s using lister-linking which overrides it.

Understood, thanks for the info! So it isn't possible to use lister-linking and "selection filtering" at the same time?

Just created two shortcuts: With and without lister-linking. Works fine for me. Thanks for support!

Turn off the auto-size and auto-center options under Preferences / Viewer / Standalone Viewer / Size and Position. (The ones for lister-linked viewers.)

Are you referring to these settings? They are already off. POS and SIZE is ignored though.

Thanks!

It looks like the LISTERLINK option causes the code to bypass the size and position logic at the moment. That seems like a bug to me, but I didn't work on that part of the code myself so I'm not sure if it was intentional or not. We'll have a look and see whether it can be fixed.

Yes, that is a bug. We have a fix coming in the next beta, so that the POS/SIZE args can override a lister-linked viewer's size/pos.
