Open File in File Selector

[bhavna]

In earlier versions of PVSS it was possible to right click a file in 'File Selector Dialog' and view its contents. But in version 3.12 it is not possible. Is there any way that I am able to see the file contents in file selector?

Depends on the type of file. For panels and images the file selector shows a preview on the right side in the file selector dialog (as long as you did not collapse the preview to zero width)

In our case these are tab separated text files( having power supply settings) and I want to see the contents before loading the file.

Can you tell me in which version and on which platform this did work before ?

OS:Windows 2000
PVSS version: 3.01

Our system was operating for past 10 years.
We have recently upgraded our system to
Server OS: windows server 2008R2
Clients OS: Windows 7
WinCCOA version: 3.11.1

Thanks & Regards,

Hello,

since PVSS 3.6 we are using a QT-toolkit for the UI. The windows to open a file are QT-based and not the Windows standard functions.
In older versions the Windows functions have been used and this might be the cause for the different behaviour.
