Show

If the attribute is a file name, it can be shown using an external program. File type can be a text, picture, sound, video or something else and the program defined in operating system is used.

If you select Shift-Show, the program shows all attachments based on definitions in ShowAttach.dat file.

Control file

If there is a file ShowAttach.dat in settings directory, the settings in this file will be used to show attachment files.

In this file you can have several definitions. One definition on one line. Define four parameters:

Name rule

Name is given as macro, where %s will be replaced by current point number.

E.g..%s.PDF makes file name 3208.PDF and A_%sX.BMP makes file name A_3208X.BMP

Directory

If empty, the Active file directory is used.

Program

E.g..D:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 4.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe

All existing files are shown.

If the program name is 3D, 3D-Win raster window is used to display raster images. If the program name is omitted, the file extension is used to determine the application.

Index

If the program name is 3D, this fourth parameter defines raster window index 1, 2 or 3.

An example of a control file :

%s.bmp,,3D,1
kp%s.tif,\\3dserver\home\mikko,3D,2
%s.jpg,\\3dserver\home\mikko,3D,3
%s.pdf,,,
