windows command-line photo viewer
Marco Frost picture Marco Frost · Aug 1, 2013 · Viewed 11.1k times · Source

I want to view a tiff file with Windows Photo Viewer under Windows 7 and Windows XP via command line execution.

Doing that is not the problem, but some special features I want to have.

  1. I want to keep the photo viewer in the foreground, even when other programs get focus.
  2. I want to disable the "Next" and "Previous picture"-buttons.
  3. I want to have the possibility to open multiple instances of windows photo viewer.
  4. Options 1-3 should be operative only for pictures I've opened via command line and not for pictures opened regularly.

Thank in advance.

Marco
