Viewer Pane

This page contains options that affect the Lister viewer pane. Changes you make here don't affect the standalone image viewer - there are separate pages for those options.

• Accelerated scrolling while dragging: Grabbing the image with the mouse will move the image faster, such that you only have to move the mouse a small amount to scroll the entire image. If it's turned off, you'll get 1:1 movement where the part of the image you drag will stay under the mouse. Holding Ctrl while dragging will also switch modes, in case you sometimes need both.
• Allow download of files from cloud storage: By default the viewer pane will not trigger the download of offline files from cloud storage. You can enable this if you want to.
• Automatically refresh image when file changes: Opus will monitor the currently viewed file, and refresh the display of it if it changes.
• Automatically select next file when viewed image is deleted: If the image you are currently viewing is deleted, Opus will automatically select the next file in the file display. This lets you quickly weed out a large collection of pictures using only the keyboard - click on the first file to view, press ↓ if you want to keep it, or Del if you want to delete or (in which case Opus will automatically move on to the next file). You can also do this sort of thing using marking.
• Leave file in viewer until another is selected: If you click on the file display background to deselect all files, the viewer pane will continue to show the last image it displayed.
• Show control bar: Causes a toolbar to be displayed at the bottom of the viewer panel, which contains buttons for commonly used functions.
• Show lock button: Displays a lock button in the Viewer Pane's title bar that lets you lock it to the currently displayed image.
