Jan Patera - PictView "Auto save" and Slideshow

Post by AbteriX »

Hi Jan Patera,

i have a few suggestions for you PictView plugin:

1) i miss a slideshow function
to see every x seconds the next picture

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) i miss "auto name and save"-function for the capture tool
I want to press e.g. F10
and PictView should store this shot in an specific folder,
and add a number to an prefix like "BugsReport_" as file name.
BugsReport_001
BugsReport_002

[x] Auto save
in folder [                      ] [...]
Name     [BugsReport_   ]
[x] add increasing numbers (deselect to overwrite last shot)
as [  jpg  |v]      [ Settings ]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) nice would be an option "insert picture from clip board"
to crop and save picture captured by [Print]-key as *.jpg.

Edit:
From Salamander you can do this with Ctrl+Shift+B
but this didn't work in the PV window
-----------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4) nice would be an option "[x] open picture in associated programm [...]"

what do you and others think ?

An interesting idea!
I am sorry - I do not understand the following 2 - are they related to sceen capture?

You can already paste images from clipboard (via toolbar+menu+hotkey in PV, and even directly from Salamander via the Plugins/PictView menu)

Where and when should this be used?

...to open an graphic edit programm after the shot ?!
...or to open an e-Mail Programm after i croped my shot ?!
...or to open Word(tm) and paste my shot ?

I am afraid this wouldn't work because a *file* needs to exist to be handed to the app (and then deleted?).
However, I think there has been a kind of request to open the *file* being viewed in the associated application (i.e. like Enter/dbl-click in Salam's panel).

Just let PV 'temp-save' the *file* as %tmp%\PictViewTemp_001 bevor you call the other app :roll:
