Changing Workbench image viewer

[punkyclown]

Can someone please explain how to change the Workbench image viewer. Multiview just doesn't cut it when you have to deal with a 32 color workbench.
Thank you

Multiview is great if you update your datatypes to processor-optimized ones. Set it to run on its own screen rather than Workbench.

Good info. The data types can be found at:  http://aminet.net/search?query=data+types

I recommend the "WarpDT" datatypes.  they can be found on Aminet or here:  http://www.warpdt.co.uk/  You can register them if you'd like to support continued development.

Plenty of other picture viewers are available, it should be mentioned, but a lot of them are pretty old and no longer supported.  IMHO Multiview is just fine once properly configured.  

At some point there should also be a release of "MultiviewerNG" for classic systems, as well.

I'm also a fan of the WarpDT suite. PicShow is another good viewer.

Nice.  I just registered the WarpData types btw.  Good tip on a current developer!

Okay, this is all really good information and thanks a lot.  Changing Datatypes
and updating Multiview seems to make sense.  But my question was is there a
way to change Workbench so when I click on a an image it opens a different pic
viewer?
Thanks

is there away to change Workbench so when I click on a an image it opens a different pic viewer?

Just change the default tool in the icon, or if you are using def_icons you can change just the one, and it will change it for all of them:

you might try this program and see if you like it better than MultiView.

once you find a suitable replacement viewer, you might just rename it as multiview (in case you dont have def_icon installed)
