You can NOW (thanks Kevin) download the Attachment Viewer I mentioned yesterday. Not a lot in this release but it will help with performance in the Notes client when the viewer is minimized in the side-bar. You can also install the viewer from the extensions.xml from yesterdays post.
Version: 1.0.0.201010051341
– Fixed viewer to not process selection if view part is minimized
– Added a “pin” icon to the UI to pin an attachment
Very cool ! Tested on Lotus Notes 8.5.2 in Spanish on an iMac.
Suggestion: perhaps it would be a good idea to show up a “Help” section or “About it” on a right click and explain in a few words the type of attachments supported (the most useful for end users: PDF, JPG, PNG, ZIP, MP4, FLV….). This would avoid a few calls to the helpdesk team… “Why I can’t see my word document in my Attachment Viewer…” 😉
Thanks a lot for one of the most useful widgets for the Notes sidebar!
Great idea, I will add that to the list! And thanks for the kind comments, very appreciated!
what if the attachment viewer does not work for you?
I got it installed on 8.5.2 but I select any attachment but the viewer keeps saying ‘No attachment selected’…
That is the first I have heard of an issue. I am running 8.5.2 myself.
