Altap Salamander Support Forums

Hi,

I have the PicView PlugIn in my PlugIns-list and selecet in the options/configuration/Viewers and Editors/Associated viewer: PicView (PlugIn).
But it seems not to work.
Can you please advice?
Version: Altap Salamander V4 (x64) on Win10 x64 (1909).

Many thanks!

How did you open the image? Enter key or F3 (which is for the viewer)

Hi,

thanks for the reply.
I used the ENTER-key.
When I use F3 it works! Many thanks.
I didn't find any hint in the help, that F3 is to use.

Why does it not work by using ENTER?

Regards
Mic

If you look closely at the bottom of Salamander, you will see some menu items with Fx (where x is a number). These are the function keys from the keyboard's top. The associated functions change depending on which key combo is pressed.
F3 - view, SHift+F3 opens selected folder in Windows Explorer, CTRL+F3 changes sort order by name, AL+F3 - Alternative view

Check the manual F1 - Altap Salamander: Shortcuts - Keyboard shortcuts

Enter on the files works the same way a double click or enter in exporer does. It calls the application associated with the file extension which then opens the file.

Perfekt answer:

• Short

• precise

• Containing all needed information

Many thanks

You are welcome.

It's Norton Commander legacy.
