Viewer Select - Make file display track standalone viewer

[Leo]

@Felix.Froemel

However, the toggle button only shows its new toggle state (changing the background color) AFTER changing the file in the viewer. The code is from the docs and i dont know if this behaviour is intended or a bug. @Leo do you have ideas on this? Also the @toggle:update does not help here.

@toggle:update wasn't hooked up for viewer toolbars, but we've changed that in the next beta.

Actually i never tried it with checkbox mode (i dont use that mode). It seems to be working with checkboxmode for me aswell, give it a try.

@GQJ17

I would like to use selection mode to pick the file that displays in the viewer, and checkbox mode to "mark" it. Only difference being that I can skim through the thumbnails in DO.

We'll add a way to do this in the next beta. Remind me to update the script if I haven't by the time the beta is released. (I already have the update written, but it doesn't make sense to put it up yet.)

@sfuller

I'd like a toggle in viewer preferences "Keep viewer in sync with the launching lister".

We'll also add a better way to do this, for scripts in general, without needing to edit the script code or create variables to toggle things. (I'll add the details to the root post once the beta is released.)

Now that Directory Opus 12.22.3 (Beta) is released, I've updated the root post:

• New script version which handles checkbox mode better. (Moves the selection and leaves the checkboxes alone.)

• Added a section on how to make a toolbar button which toggles the script, using the new command for doing so.

It works perfectly. Scrollable documentation in the viewer window while manipulating files in another tab.

The script seems to work well, but I'm having constant script errors all of the sudden:

When do the errors happen? Which folders or files trigger them?
