Hi dudes,

I'm sure its obvious, but I've spent an hour looking for it, and I can't
find how to change the image display thing in Thor.

I mean when you have e.g. a jpeg attached to an emial and you click on the
image's icon, and it gives you options, in my case, Inline, PPShow, or
Save.

How do I change it form PPShow to another display program, or have I
dreamt all this?

Hope you're all well. :)


All the best,
Angus Manwaring. (for e-mail remove ANTISPEM)

Okay......

I found the filetypes directory in the Thor directory and have manually
changed the default tool of the image one to Visage, my chosen viewer. But
it seems to insist on directing the display to AGA, I can see this by use
of my TV card. I've put in the appropriate tooltypes, I believe, to
display on my graphics card but without effect. Any thoughts?


Should we rename this group alt.sys.amiga.thor.angus.monologue.ramblings ?

Until you posted your message, I didn't even know that there was a way to
change display options.

I'd try changing tooltypes in the icon.

Maybe. Thor works pretty well, so there are few complaints.

Wow, that means I've been helpful, doesn't it? That's a first. :)

>I'd try changing tooltypes in the icon.

As stated, tried without success.

I'd settle for a little idle gossip! :)

Stranger things have happened.

>>I'd try changing tooltypes in the icon.

Then I can't help. I'm using multiview, which seems to be the default.

Idle gossip on usenet? What a thought.
