Program Start Modes

During the launch of FastRawViewer, one can additionally pass a filename or a folder to the program

through one of the following methods:

 A RAW or JPEG file can be opened through the Open With menu, accessible through the right-

click in the Windows Explorer/OS X Finder.

 FastRawViewer can be installed as a “default” program (through Set Default Program in

Windows or Get Info – Open With – Change All for Mac OS X) – in this case FastRawViewer

will start when double-clicking on any file of the associated type.

 Drag-Drop of a file or a folder onto the FastRawViewer program icon.

 Start using the command line.

The same as with Dragging and Dropping into the program window (see above), the first file/folder

will be opened.

Launching Several Instances of FastRawViewer

Mac OS X: a single instance of the program is started. Second click on the icon in Applications, or

drag-n-drop of the file or folder on the application icon activates the already started instance of the

application.

You can start a second instance of FastRawViewer through the Terminal Utility with the command

/Applications/FastRawViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/FastRawViewer

Windows: Several instances of the program can be started by (double-)clicking the icon or

performing a drag-n-drop operation. With the start of each instance, a new window (displaying a

new file, if started with a drag-n-drop operation) will be opened.

If you prefer to use “single instance” mode in Windows, you may do so by switching on Preferences –

Other – Run single program instance setting. While this setting is on: clicking on a file, which is

associated with FastRawViewer, will result in displaying the file in the existing program window.
