Forums Feature Suggestions Pictures

Why don't mIRC have allow uploading/viewing of photos? Im amazed that it hasn't been done already and no one thought of it

Requires version 6.17 or higher

You can also use the ICON feature of an mIRC dialog to display a picture, and it will adjust the size to keep the height/width ratio correct. Using window -p @name is more difficult, since it will stretch the picture to fit the window.

oops...nice catch on the missing run command from my code.
While the icon feature can be used, as you stated, I think the icon has to be specified in the dialog layout, so you'd have to edit the dialog code each and every time you wanted to view a different picture.

This is extremely barebones, you can add stuff to scroll through the receiving history, show the nick and filename, add close button, etc. Open the dialog window with:

/dialog -ma showpic showpic

Put in remotes script:

on *:filercvd:*.bmp,*.jpg,*.gif,*.ico:{ if ($dialog(showpic)) did -g showpic 123 " $+ $filename $+ " }
dialog showpic {
option dbu
title "file received"
size -1 -1 400 320
icon 123,1 1 390 310
}
