First post - awesome program by the way. I'm having some difficulty with the viewer pane. I want to use an Active X plugin to view multi-page TIFF files (I've found a good plugin for this - AlternaTIFF) so I select "Use Plugin" by right-clicking on the viewer pane top bar and it all works great. However, when I close the lister and reopen it has defaulted back to the default viewer and I have to select Active X under "Use Plugin" again. That's a nuisance, especially because I'm setting this up for some basic users.
Any way to have the lister remember the plugin in the viewer pane? Should be default behavior I would think...
We've added an advanced setting to do this in Opus 12.0.5 beta, which will probably be released tomorrow.
(Note that Opus 12 is in a public beta phase at the moment, but if you buy Opus 11 now or in the future then you will get a free upgrade to Opus 12 when it is finished, and you can start trying the betas immediately either way.)
Changing plugins via the menu you are using now is only intended to be a temporary change, for when you want to do something unusual (e.g. load a JPEG into the text/hex viewer to inspect the binary data). It is not supposed to change what happens the next time you view the same image type, by design (you would not want to have to reset things back to normal to view JPEGs as images after viewing one as hex).
Viewer plugins written for Opus can override internal viewers (which is what the Animated GIF plugin does) but third-party ActiveX controls don't know anything about Opus and can't do that, unless we made it happen for all of them, which would not be desirable.
So we've added a setting which allows you to explicitly disable specific internal viewers/types, which will allow them to be diverted to an ActiveX control if one is also configured via the ActiveX plugin.
