[8.0b10] Lister - No error msg, if ext. viewer not exists

Post by *Biozynotiker »

If the specified external viewer in Lister (like irfanview) does not exists,
TC should output an error message instead of viewing the image as binary.

So, you would not to be informed, that your path/exe to the external viewer, is not valid?

a) you should notice that by watching the titlebar...
b) you should be able to clean configure a filemanager - if not -> dont use it :-P
c) I dont like messages for obvious things - if a pic is shown is text the conf is wrong no need to put an message instead there as it could be possible i do this on purpose...

It seems that this is intentional. On error message when external viewer is not specified, Christian answered here.
