- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1) Launch Options
-
- a) Closing file on launch
-
- Quick View Plus may now be configured so that the view of files and mail
- attachments will close when the file is launched. This behavior is
- controlled by a command string that the user must enter in the [QVPLUS]
- section of the SCC.INI file (located in the Windows directory). To leave
- files open in the view window upon launch, no modification to the default
- configuration is necessary. To close files viewed upon Launch, enter the
- following line in the [QVPLUS] section of SCC.INI:
-
- CloseFileOnLaunch=YES
-
- To disable this setting, the user may delete the command string or set
- its value to NO. The only valid values are YES and NO. It is not case
- sensitive. NOTE: This command string affects only the launch behavior
- from tear-off windows or the AddOn interface. If you launch a file from
- the Quick View Plus stand-alone interface (the one you get by
- double-clicking on the Quick View Plus icon), its view will always close,
- though Quick View Plus will remain open.
-
- WARNING: Setting this parameter to YES may cause problems if you launch
- attachments from cc:Mail, Lotus Notes or Novell GroupWise.
-
- b) Setting launch contexts
-
- You can control the contexts where Launch is active by placing the
- following command in the [QVPLUS] section of your SCC.INI file (located
- in your Windows directory):
-
- LAUNCH={ALL|OIONLY|OFF}
-
- "ALL" enables launching both in the main Quick View Plus program and in
- the AddOn interface (accessed through OI's E-Mail integrations)
-
- "OIONLY" enables launching in the main Quick View Plus program, but
- disables it in the AddOn interface.
-
- "OFF" disables launching both in the main Quick View Plus program and
- in the AddOn interface. When Launch is disabled for all viewers in a
- particular context, the Launch icon will be grayed out. NOTE: This
- parameter is overridden by the [LaunchOnly] parameter (see below).
-
- c) Launch instead of view
-
- If you prefer to use another application to view specific file formats,
- you can configure Quick View Plus so that particular formats are launched
- instead of viewed. This feature is supported by Quick View Plus's
- Microsoft Mail Attachment Handler, Windows File Manager AddOn, and
- Quick View Plus itself. To enable this feature, you must edit the
- SCC.INI created by the installation program and add a section as shown
- below:
-
- [LaunchOnly]
- ID={YES|NO}
- ID={YES|NO}
- .
- .
- .
-
- Where 'ID' is a four digit number identifying the file type you wish to
- have the LaunchOnly behavior. If the value is set to YES, Quick View Plus
- will not view files of that type but immediatly launch the associated
- application. The id numbers for formats recognized by Quick View Plus are
- listed in "Launch ID numbers" the end of this section. To enable this
- feature for file types not recognized by Quick View Plus, add the
- following line to the [LaunchOnly] section of the SCC.INI:
-
- 1999=ON
-
- For network versions of Quick View Plus, the network administrator may
- create a SCC.INI in the Quick View Plus network directory which will be
- duplicated for each workstation during node installation.
-
- NOTE: The LaunchOnly settings override the value of the "LAUNCH="
- parameter discussed above.
-
- d) Disabling launch for particular viewers
-
- To disable the Launch feature for a particular viewer or group of
- viewers, you must edit the SCC.INI created by the installation program
- and add a section as shown below:
-
- [DisableLaunch]
- ID={YES|NO}
- ID={YES|NO}
- .
- .
- .
-
- Where 'ID' is a four digit number identifying the file type you wish to
- disable launching for. If the value is set to YES, Quick View Plus
- will gray out the launch item for that file type. The id numbers for
- formats recognized by Quick View Plus are listed in "Launch ID numbers"
- the end of this section.
-
- If there is a conflict between the LaunchOnly and DisableLaunch settings,
- such that the same viewer is simultaneously set to launch instead of view
- and disabled for launching, Quick View Plus will display an error message
- explaining the conflict.
-
- e) Launch notes and exceptions
-
- Some applications do not run well under Windows; launching these
- programs is not supported in Quick View Plus:
-
- dBASE III
- dBASE IV
- Microsoft Excel (Ver 2.10 only)
- MultiMate 4
- MultiMate Advantage II
- Paradox
- Paradox 3.0
- R:Base 3.1
- Samna IV
-
- Some applications do not support loading a file from the command line.
- Quick View Plus will launch these programs, but is not able to load
- documents for the following applications:
-
- DataEase 4.2
- DisplayWrite 2,3,4 & 5
- Enable
- First Choice
- Lotus 1-2-3

- the application is exited. You should close this inactive window before
- returning to Quick View Plus.
-
- Professional Write 1
- MultiMate 3.6
- PFS:Professional Plan
-
- If you have difficulty launching files created in applications not found
- on the lists above, try running the application independently of Quick
- View Plus. You must be able to run a program from Windows in order to
- launch the program using Quick View Plus.

- 2) Integrations
-
- a) General information
-
- During installation you have the option of integrating Quick View Plus
- with a variety of other programs. Once integrated, Quick View Plus's
- viewers become available directly from within the integrated program.
- Programs supporting integration are listed below:
-
- File Managers:
- Windows 3.1 File Manager
- Windows for Workgroups File Manager
- Norton Desktop for Windows
- WordPerfect Office for Windows
-
- E-Mail Programs:
- Microsoft Mail 3.x for Windows
- cc:Mail Client version 1.1 for Windows
- Da Vinci eMAIL 2.02 for Windows
- Novell GroupWise (formerly, WordPerfect Office 4.x)
- Hewlett-Packard OpenMail
-
- GroupWare:
- Lotus Notes
- TeamWARE Office
-
- Internet Browsers:
- America OnLine Web Browser (version 2.5 and above)
- Netscape Navigator 1.1 and above as Helper Application
- Netscape Navigator 2.0 as Plug-ins
- SPRY Mosaic Browser (version 04 and above)
-
- Windows Word Processors:
- Microsoft Word for Windows
- Ami Pro
- WordPerfect for Windows
-
- NOTE: The installation program will automatically integrate Quick View
- Plus with your file manager. However, it will only integrate with your
- E-Mail or word processor if you select that option. If you did not
- integrate Quick View Plus with one of these programs during initial
- installation, you may do so by running Quick View Plus's Setup program
- again.
-
- b) Understanding the Quick View Plus AddOn window
-
- When invoking Quick View Plus from an integrated Windows word processor,
- the stand-alone Quick View Plus interface will be used. However, when
- integrated with E-Mail programs or file managers, invoking Quick View
- Plus will access an interface slightly different from that displayed
- when you invoke Quick View Plus as a stand-alone program. This new
- interface is called the AddOn window.
-
- The AddOn window provides an abbreviated tool bar featuring:
- Launch
- Print
- Copy
- Search
- Search Next
- Search Previous
-
- In addition, the display, print and Clipboard options defined for each
- file type are available from the drop-down menu to the right of the tool
- bar. The name of this menu will change depending on the file type viewed
- (Document, Spreadsheet, Database, Bitmap, Drawing, or Archive).
- The name of the integrated application (e.g., cc:Mail) will appear to
- the left of the tool bar. The View Window is located beneath the tool
- bar and will always be full-window width. Tear-off, file management
- functions and the accelerator keys are not available under the AddOn
- interface.
-
- NOTE: The AddOn window cannot view mail attachments that refer to
- subsidiary files for the content and/or attributes. This limitation
- affects viewing of R:BASE and DataEase attachments. Such file types can,
- however, be viewed directly within Quick View Plus, provided their
- subsidiary files are in the same directory as the main file.
-
- c) Understanding the AddOn Manager
-
- Quick View Plus provides an AddOn Manager module that keeps track of
- integrated applications and allows the user to enable or disable
- integration with a particular application. The AddOn manager is copied
- to the Startup group under Windows 3.1 during installation. If the
- Startup group is not present under Windows 3.1, or if the user is
- installing under Windows 3.0, the AddOn Manager's path and file name
- will be added to the Load line of the user's WIN.INI. The result of
- either method is that the AddOn Manager will be loaded into memory every
- time Windows is run. This is necessary for the Quick View Plus AddOn
- interface to be invoked from within cc:Mail, GroupWise or Da Vinci eMAIL.
- Though active, the AddOn Manager will not appear on the desktop as an
- icon. To access the AddOn Manager, simply click on its icon in the Quick
- View Plus group.
-
- The AddOn Manager consists of:
-
- Integrated Application list: The top half of the window provides a list
- of all integrated applications. To see information on an integrated
- application, or to enable/disable its integration, click on the
- application's name in this list.
-
- Information Area: The lower half of the window displays the following
- information for the selected application: Name, Description, Version
- and State (enabled or disabled).
-
- Enable/Disable: These buttons will enable or disable the integration
- of the selected application. When disabled, the application will still
- run, but it will no longer be integrated with Quick View Plus. To
- reenable integration, select the application and choose the Enable
- button.
-
- Note: When finished making changes, choose this button to save changes
- and exit the AddOn manager.
-
- d) File Manager integrations
-
- Quick View Plus allows you to integrate with popular Windows file
- managers. Each one is explained in the following sections.
-
- Windows 3.1 File Manager:
-
- The installation program will automatically integrate Quick View Plus
- with the Windows 3.1 File Manager. When integrated, a Quick View Plus
- item will appear in the File Manager menu bar. To view a file from the
- File Manager:
- - Select the file name in the file list window
- - Choose the QUICK VIEW PLUS menu item.
- - Choose the View menu item.
- The Quick View Plus AddOn Window will appear with the selected file
- viewed.
-
- Windows For Workgroups File Manager:
-
- Integration here is also automatic. When integrated, Quick View Plus
- will display as a button on the File Manager button bar. To view a file
- from the Workgroup File Manager:
- - Select the file name in the file list window
- - Choose the QUICK VIEW PLUS button in the button bar.
- The Quick View Plus AddOn window will appear with the selected file
- viewed.
-
- Norton Desktop for Windows:
-
- When Quick View Plus is integrated with Norton Desktop for Windows,
- Quick View Plus's viewers are available in a variety of contexts. It
- is imperative, however, that the user first set up the Quick View Plus
- viewers as Norton's default file viewers. If this is not done, Norton
- will use its own viewers instead of Quick View Plus's. To make Quick
- View Plus the default viewers:
- - Select the Norton Viewer icon to enter its viewer facility.
- - From the Viewer menu, choose SET DEFAULT VIEWER.
- - From the viewer list box, select QUICK VIEW PLUS VIEWERS.
- - Select OK to save your choice.
-
- Once made the default viewers, Quick View Plus's viewers may be invoked
- in three contexts:
-
- Using Norton's Viewer facility:
- Simply open the Viewer facility by choosing the Viewer icon. Then
- use File Open to select a file for viewing. When using a Quick View
- Plus viewer, Print and Copy buttons will appear in the upper right
- hand corner of the view window.
-
- Using Norton's File Manager:
- You access this function by selecting a Norton drive icon. To view a
- file, select the file name and then choose the View button. The file
- will be viewed in a new window below the drive and directory windows.
- To view another file, select its name in the file list window.
-
- Using the Norton Desktop Menu:
- When you Integrate with Norton Desktop, the main menu has a QUICK
- VIEW PLUS option. Open this menu and choose VIEW to start Quick View
- Plus. NOTE: To use the QUICK VIEW PLUS menu, you must already be
- viewing a file in the Norton File Manager. Otherwise the View option
- under the QUICK VIEW PLUS menu will be grayed out. Of course, you can
- still run Quick View Plus as a stand alone application under Norton
- Desktop as you would run any other Windows application.
-
- e) E-mail integrations
-
- Quick View Plus allows you to integrate with four popular E-mail
- programs. Each one is explained in the following sections.
-
- cc:Mail
-
- To view an attachment in cc:Mail:
- - Load cc:Mail and view the desired mail message as you normally would.
- - If you are using the default cc:Mail settings, Shift-Double-Click on
- the attachment you wish to view. If you have changed the defaults,
- Double-Click on the attachment.
- - The AddOn window appears. This window is integrated with the cc:Mail
- window and cannot be separated from it.
-
- Microsoft Mail 3.x
-
- The following section explains how to use Quick View Plus with
- Microsoft Mail 3.x. NOTE: Versions of Microsoft Mail earlier than
- 3.0 cannot be integrated with Quick View Plus.
-
- To view an attached file within Microsoft Mail 3.x, double click on
- the attachment icon. Occasionally you may want to revert to Microsoft
- Mail's default behavior with respect to attachments. In default mode,
- double-clicking on a mail attachment causes Microsoft Mail to attempt
- to launch the attached file, using the associations established in the
- Windows Registration Database. This behavior is overridden if Quick
- View Plus has been integrated. However, holding down the CTRL key while
- double-clicking on an attachment icon will restore the default response
- (i.e., instead of being viewed by Quick View Plus, the attachment will
- be launched using Microsoft Mail's capabilities).
-
- GroupWise
-
- In Novell GroupWise, you can use Quick View Plus's AddOn interface to
- view both the mail message itself and any attachments.
- - Load GroupWise and open your inbox.
- - Select and open the mail message you wish to work with.
- - Double click on the mail attachment you wish to view.
- - The AddOn window appears. This window is integrated with the
- GroupWise window and cannot be separated from it.
-
- Da Vinci eMail
-
- To view an attachment in Da Vinci:
- - Load Da Vinci eMAIL and view the desired mail message as you normally
- would.
- - Choose the Attachments button or choose ATTACHMENT from the Message
- menu. A dialog box listing any attachments will appear.
- - Select the attachment you wish to view and then click on the VIEW
- button. You can also choose multiple attachments simultaneously in
- this list.
- - The Quick View Plus AddOn window appears with the selected attachment
- viewed. If you selected multiple messages, multiple AddOn windows
- will appear.
-
- Some file extensions, such as .ZIP, are not associated with Da Vinci's
- Auto-View facility. In these cases, Da Vinci will view the file
- incorrectly. When this occurs, Da Vinci will present a list of viewers
- to choose from. To correct the problem, choose Auto-View from this
- list. To make this association permanent:
- - Load the EMAILSYS.INI file into a text editor. This file is located
- in the Da Vinci eMAIL directory.
- - At the end of the [WINDOWS VIEWERS] area of this file, add the
- following association:
-
- Zip Files = *.ZIP
-
- HP OpenMail
-
- Quick View Plus integrates with HP OpenMail via their linked
- application interface. This allows users to view OpenMail file
- attachments using Quick View Plus's viewers. Due to limitations in
- OpenMail, Quick View Plus will support 50 of the most commonly used
- OpenMail file types for attachments. Network administrators may change
- which 50 file types Quick View Plus will support by modifying the
- OPENMAIL.TXT file copied to the Quick View Plus Addon directory
- during the network installation. Use a text editor's cut and paste
- feature to rearrange the list so that all the file types you want Quick
- View Plus to support are at the top of the list. Quick View Plus's
- setup program will use this list when performing workstation
- installations.
-
- f) GroupWare integrations
-
- Lotus Notes
-
- The Quick View Plus setup program will detect the presence of a local
- NOTES.INI file and will automatically select the View Any Lotus Notes
- Attachments With Quick View Plus check box in the main Installation
- menu (Workstation Install menu for network installations of Quick View
- Plus). During installation, Quick View Plus's integration with Lotus
- Notes is accomplished by copying the files QVPVIEW.BMP and QVPVIEW.MAC
- into the Windows Icon Path specified in the user's local NOTES.INI
- file. To make the SmartIcon available within Notes after installation:
-
- - Run Notes
- - Choose SMARTICONS from the Tools menu
- - Select the desired toolbar to display from the drop-down list box.
- - In the Available Icons group on the left, scroll to the very bottom
- of the list. The QVPVIEW SmartIcon appears
- - Click on the SmartIcon with the mouse and drag it over to the list of
- icons (on the right) included in the selected toolbar. Drop the icon
- where you want it to appear on the toolbar.
- - Choose OK to close the SmartIcon Setup dialog.
-
- When you return to the main menu, the QVPVIEW SmartIcon will appear
- where placed on the Toolbar. To use the macro:
-
- - Open a Notes document containing attachments embedded in an RTF field,
- such as a mail message.
- - With the mouse, single-click on the QVPVIEW SmartIcon. The user does
- not need to select or double click on the attachment itself to view
- it.
- - If the document contains one attachment, Quick View Plus's view
- window will come up with the attachment displayed.
- - If the document contains more than one attachment, a dialog listing
- all attachments appears. Select with the mouse one or more
- attachments to view and choose OK.
- - A view window appears for each attachment selected.
-
- NOTE: The macro can process a maximum of 20 attachments in a single
- document.
-
- TeamWARE/TeamOFFICE
-
- Quick View Plus integrates with the following TeamWARE modules:
- - Mail
- - Calendar
- - Forum
- - Library
-
- The integration is accomplished by mapping the .DAT extension to
- SCCVAPI.EXE in the [Extensions] section of WIN.INI. By default,
- double-clicking on an attachment's icon in a TeamWARE module will
- cause it to be launched if the application that created it is
- registered in the user's local REGEDIT database. Thus, attachments
- created by most common Windows apps will be launched, not viewed, by
- double-clicking. If the attachment was created by a non-registered
- application, double-clicking will invoke the Select Tool list.
- From this list, choose SCCVAPI. The attachment will be viewed in Quick
- View Plus. To view an attachment even when its application is
- registered, instead of double-clicking with the mouse on its icon,
- choose SELECT TOOL from the main menu bar. You will be presented with
- a list of applications TeamWARE can launch. Choose SCCVAPI, and Quick
- View Plus's viewers will be invoked and will view the attachment.
-
- g) Internet Browser integrations
-
- During installation, Quick View Plus will integrate with the following
- Internet browsers if detected on your system:
- - America OnLine 2.5 Web Browser (VIEWERS.INI)
- - SPRY Mosaic (AIRMOS.INI)
- - Netscape Navigator 1.x (NETSCAPE.INI)
-
- All of these integrations occur and operate identically. Quick View Plus
- integrates with browsers by specifying its viewers in the browsers' .INI
- files or registry. Once integrated, the browser will invoke Quick View
- Plus when the user attempts to view a file that the browser's default
- viewers cannot view. During this process, the browser will download the
- file in question to the user's machine and invoke Quick View Plus.
-
- Netscape Navigator 2.0
-
- Quick View Plus will integrate completely with version 2.0 of Netscape
- Navigator. All 200+ file formats that are supported with Quick View
- Plus are also supported in the Navigator 2.0 window. Any file
- attachments received through Netscape's email client can also be
- viewed as if in any another email application. This added functionality
- allows the viewing of files on the World Wide Web without launching
- extraneous applications.
-
- h) Word Processor integrations
-
- When you integrate Quick View Plus with a Windows word processor, you add
- a macro to the word processor's menu. The macro automatically loads Quick
- View Plus. When you access Quick View Plus via the macro, you can import
- data to your word processor in two easy steps. Simply select the data you
- want, and then choose PASTE TO [WORD PROCESSOR NAME] from the Edit menu,
- or click on the PASTE TO APPLICATION button. If no data or text is
- selected, Paste to will be grayed out. Quick View Plus allows you to
- integrate with three popular Windows word processors. Each one is
- explained below.
-
- Ami Pro
-
- When you integrate Quick View Plus with Ami Pro, the macro appears in
- the Tools menu.
-
- Microsoft Word for Windows
-
- When you integrate Quick View Plus with Word for Windows, the macro
- appears in the Utilities menu (for Windows 1.x), or the Tools menu
- (for Word for Windows 2.x).
-
- WordPerfect for Windows
-
- When you integrate Quick View Plus with WordPerfect for Windows, the
- integration varies according to the WordPerfect version you use. If
- you integrate with WordPerfect version 5.x then Quick View Plus
- registers as a macro appearing in the Macro menu. If you integrate with
- WordPerfect version 6.0 then Quick View Plus registers as a writing
- tool appearing in the Tools menu.
-
- NOTE: The WordPerfect for Windows integration also makes QVP available
- in the QuickList and QuickFind facilities.
