Request: Viewer/Show > Reuse Window Append + Multiple Image View

Help & Support
1

For the standalone viewer I'd like to see an append option, or some such name, in the preferences and command options. This would allow you to reuse the show window, but if you open more images, have it append them to the existing show window.

Also useful would be a way to view multiple images at the same time, such that I could select 4 images, and view them together (quad view).

I could select 4 images, and view them together (quad view).

This could be done with a script:

function OnClick(clickData) {
    var cmd = clickData.func.command;
    var tab = clickData.func.sourcetab;
    cmd.deselect = false; // Prevent automatic deselection
    cmd.RunCommand('Close ALLVIEWERS');

    var i = tab.selected_files.count;

    if (i == 0) cmd.Dlg.Request('Please select at least one file!', 'OK');
    if (i > 0) cmd.RunCommand('Show "' + tab.selected_files(0) + '" POS 1300,400 SIZE 600,400 NOUSEEXISTING');
    if (i > 1) cmd.RunCommand('Show "' + tab.selected_files(1) + '" POS 2200,400 SIZE 600,400 NOUSEEXISTING');
    if (i > 2) cmd.RunCommand('Show "' + tab.selected_files(2) + '" POS 1300,1000 SIZE 600,400 NOUSEEXISTING');
    if (i > 3) cmd.RunCommand('Show "' + tab.selected_files(3) + '" POS 2200,1000 SIZE 600,400 NOUSEEXISTING');
}

The parameters POS and SIZE probably need to be adjusted to your monitor setup (top left corner is 0,0) and preferences.
