XnView Software

Hallo everybody,

I'm a new member here. I have a question about Xnview-Pluggin for Internet Explorer, and can't find any mention about it in Xnview site or in this forum.
We are going to deploy Xnview in our firm. At the moment we have a pluggin for IE to open a TIF-file. We don't want to use it any more if we deploy Xnview, because we think, it's easier for our users to use only one application, if they work with a TIF-file. For us it is also less work, because we only have to support one application.
But the problem is without a pluggin for IE, when a user opens a file in IE, it opens a new Xnview-Windows. We have some applications here, which also act the same thing, i mean that a new windows is opened, when we try to open a TIF-file in the application. It might confuse our users.
Therefore I have 2 questions :
- whether Xnview offers a IE-pluggin in the near future.
- is there any configuration to tell xnview to open in the application we try to open a TIF-file, or it alsways opens a new windows?

Thanks,

Chi

Which IE plugin??

We are using at the moment an old version of TiffSurfer as plugin for IE 7 to open TIF-file, and would like to know :
- whether Xnview is going to offer such a feature?
The advantage of this TiffSurfer plugin is the TIF-File opened in the IE windows. Users don't have to deal with another window and to remember to close it.
Do you understand now what I mean, xnview?

And which features do you want in IE plugin?

At the moment, when we open a TIF-file in IE, it is opened with TiffSurfer embedded in IE. It's the same with Adobe Acrobat Reader, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, or MS Excel. When we deploy Xnview on a Windows PC without TiffSurfer and try to open a TIF-file, it opens a new Xnview-windows. It is not a big deal, but it might confuse our users, who are not used to that kind of behavior. Can we configurate Xnview some how so that it behaves itself like the applications we mention above?

Hello vuchi

I think that Pierre asks for the "features do you want in IE" means ..

Feature: viewing (yes, of course, that?s the main reason..)
Display how: for TIF / for TIFF / for all rasters / depending on header?
Viewing how: Zoom / fit / pan / inverse / clipping / trimming?
Printing: no / yes with all features
Converting via Plugin?

maybe this is what he is asking for?

Thank you for your explanation, Peter. We need to view TIF and TIFF. When a Tif-file is opened with TiffSurfer embedded in IE, TiffSurfer still has a menu bar to do the following : zoom out, zoom in; print the file; open a new file; save as; rotate right, rotate left, to see a whole page.....
