changing default player to "mr. Viewer" instead of DJV

#1 · 23. July 2021, 18:26

hi there,

i would like to change the default player to Mr.Viewer, so when i dooubleclick, it will open up "Mr-Viewer", instead of DJV, its a really nice piece of software, and works really well with OCIO too, everytime i open a exr with aces luts, DJV will mess it up, not load correctly...

https://mrviewer.sourceforge.io/

where do i have to look in your code, to change the the "double-click" behavior? since prism v2 is coming sooner or later, there won't be many prism 1.x updates right?

highly appreciated

i'm a bit surprised, but i managed to do it myself, its not very clean or great, but it does the job...

if somebody else is interested too, here is my dirty "solution"...

change the "DJV-Path" to your "mr.Viewer" path (1st image)
change this two sections in the "ProjectBrowser.py" (2nd and 3rd image)

now when I double-click on the preview "Mr.Viewer" will open (exr, jpg, png, mp4, mov works).

maybe "mr. viewer" will find the way into prism 2.0 😉

all the best

Great that you managed it yourself.

I can't promise anything yet, but there's a good chance to have Mr. Viewer in Prism 2 by default.

Regarding the Prism 1 updates you are right. There might be bug fixes, but don't expect any new feature updates for Prism 1.
