Hello,
I have not been able to see the folder structure of archive files with the 7z extension in Directory Opus 10 like I do with zipx extensions. In the settings for the preview handler .7z is checked. I have DO10 set for defualt of zip archives as well. I also have Winzip 15.5 and 7zip installed on my machine. Does anyone have a clue on how I can troubleshoot this?
Thanks
Are you talking about opening archives in the viewer pane, or about being able to double-click archives and go into them like they are folders?
Which preview handler do you mean?
Sorry for being late. I was talking about being able to preview the folder structure of 7z files in the Viewer pane. The files that I have archived in zipx expose their folder structure in the viewer pane without error and I would like to extend this functionality to the 7z archive format.
Thanks
I forgot to add the preview handler is ActiveX + Preview + etc..
Thanks
Preview handers are viewers written for Windows Explorer and Microsoft Outlook.
ActiveX + Preview + Web + Office is not a preview handler; it is an Opus viewer plugin which acts as a bridge to allow Opus to use preview handlers (among other things) to display files in the viewer pane.
The ActiveX + Preview + Web + Office plugin also allows Opus to use Internet Explorer to display files in the viewer pane.
When you configure the plugin, you'll see a list of installed preview handlers at the top of the window, followed by separate sections for Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer and finally Generic ActiveX controls.
If you were looking at the Internet Explorer part of the plugin's configuration window, saw .zip in the list of extensions, and thought adding .7z to that list would make it work, it won't. Internet Explorer knows how to display Zip archives but (unlike Opus itself) does not know how anything about the 7z format. To display 7z files in the viewer pane you would need an Opus viewer plugin, preview handler or ActiveX control that knows how to display 7z.
However, Opus 10 supports treating 7z archives as folders, the same as Zip archives. Just double-click the archives to go inside of them. There's no need to use the viewer pane at all to look inside of archives.
If you want to be able to single-click an archive to look inside it, use the Folder Tree or the "Single-Click" option in Preferences.
