ACDSee 9

[Chewie]

This has bugged me for a long while.

The name ACDSee Photo Manager would imply that it's a manager of your photo collection.
Fuck knows why the viewer insists on showing a little icon when it comes across an mp3 file, then.
:angry:

I can prevent audio files appearing in the browser but there doesn't seem to be a way to stop the file viewer stalling for 5 seconds every time it sees an mp3.

Does anyone know how to stop the viewer doing this?

Same problem here Chewie, even when i re-configured it NOT to browse any other files except the pictures extensions, it still insist to view more other multimedia files were it not supposed to view.

I guess they better rename it to ACD AllDamnFiles Manager :P

I haven't used ACDSee since the late 90's, but I believe I had the same problem...

I think it has something to do with the plug-ins in ACDSee's Preference/Options...

Try unchecking the non-picture plug-ins.

This viewer is 100% cool, but it have less features than ACD.

I think I'll give ACDSee support a few days to respond to my post in their forum before I start looking at alternatives.

Edit:
Got a reply...
in order to disable audio files in ACDSee, you have to go to TOOLS > OPTIONS > PLUGINS > PLUGIN SETTINGS. On the first tab, IMAGE DECODE, uncheck ID_MEDIA.APL
Please note that you also disable all other media files, like avi or wmv by doing so.

Works a charm.

Great, it works for me :D

That's how I install it.
You're talking about ACDSee being associated with filetypes whereas I'm talking about flicking through a folder (that contains audio as well as image files) with the viewer, and the viewer stalling on every mp3 it sees.

Also, the solution appears several posts above.
