Tdesktop: [Feature request] Ability to disable integrated photo viewer

[matejdro]

When you receive images from chat (either sent as image or as file), they are displayed in integrated photo viewer.

This viewer lacks zoom and other functionality that is present in other photo viewers. So if I want this functionality I must right click on the image, select "View in folder" and then open file manually from file browser.

There should be an option to disable integrated viewer and open my default image viewer when I click on the image in chat.

Zoom with ctrl and +/-

[matejdro]

Oh wow I didn't even tried it. Why wouldn't you support mouse scroll wheel zoom?

[joshsleeper]

Agreed. Ctrl +/- works, but mouse-wheel zoom is much more intuitive, especially when people usually open images in the viewer with a mouse click, not keyboard input. Since we use the mouse to open and close images, should use the mouse for most image interaction.

you can do mouse wheel zoom now.

now we have https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/commit/54c409d967f9e823afdb8d9f94d775074c284aa0 maybe it can be improved to include photo viewers / audio players, etc without being hidden setting.

This _simple_ PR works only with downloaded (on disk as video file) video. In theory same must go with photos, but in practice in TD there are no downloaded (in same therms as video) photo :( This button:

always download photo and save it with new name. So, with photo it's of course doable, but not so simple as with video...
