See, told you I must be missing something! :)

I was hoping to use this in place of QuickView Plus, didn't realize it
was meant only for images.

Any freeware QV Plus replacements out there?

Thanks! (And sorry I didn't pay closer attention to the product
description...)

None that I know of.
 
Is there any way to have ifranview not to open the picture to its
original size. Or better
yet to fit the window like picture and fax viewer. It would make skimming through large
directories a bit easier for me. I looked through the options and didn't see anything.
Thanks in advance.

Load a picture, press enter, and change images with a mouse click.

It is the stand-alone version of the internal lister of TotalCommander
('copyrighted Freeware'). You can tell it to use IrfanView for images.
Maybe you can even use the whole bunch of plugins. I'm a bit to lazy
to check this, because I've a registered TotalCommander on disk and I
would have to ensure, plugins are not handled out of this registration.

Use this on W2k to add the lister to your context-menu:
--------------------cut here---------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Lister]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Lister\command]
@="H:\\Programme\\Lister\\Lister.exe \"%1\""
-----------------------end-----------------------------


Use this on Win9x to add the lister to your context-menu:
--------------------cut here---------------------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Lister]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Lister\command]
@="H:\\Programme\\Lister\\Lister.exe \"%1\""
-----------------------end-----------------------------

You have to save those text-snippets to a Lister.reg (or how you will
call the file) and import it to the registry with a doubleclick.
Don't forget to alter the path if necessary.

HTH.

Heh. Well, Ifranview *will* display text files, but only as a
graphical image.
 
How about Hijack? Didn't it go Freeware?

The only "hijacks" I'm familiar with are "hijack audio" and the "hijack
browser" thingy which prevents your browser's homepage from getting
hijacked. What "hijack" are you talking about?

And all you have to do to view most .log files is to temporarily
rename them to .txt.

Or, more intelligently, associate the .log extension with Notepad (or
text editor/ viewer of your choice), once, in Windows.

Perhaps some context has been lost in this thread.

I have had .log files associated with a text editor under Windows for a
long time. It does not cause Irfanview to recognize or display .log
files as text files - Irfanview will still give the "can't read file
format/unknown file format" error.

I think the suggestion was to say that a third party app is not required to
see log files, the system will inherantly read them if associated with
notepad.

Heck of a lot more efficient to just associate .log with a text editor.

I was simply saying that it is indeed possible to view .log files in
IrfanView. I never said that it was a good idea, but Andy implied that
I was saying just that. He was wrong. In fact, I long ago associated
..log files with Notepad on my machine. Been doing that since Windows 3.1.

I agree, and I've been doing that a long time. However, my point was
that it is possible to view log files in IrfanView, not that it's a
good idea though.
