Previews

Pagliotz

I would find very useful if I could see a linked image in the post directly inside the body post, with no needs to click the link and open it in a browser. What about this option?

Bernd

If you are a spammer, than that sounds like a brilliant idea.
PLEASE do NOT implement that option! (And if you do, make it extra hard to turn it on.)

Pagliotz

Actually, Usenapp could include the option to ask if you want the preview or not when you click the link.
Normally the groups I subscribe have no such a great number of spammer, and you can easily see if the post is made for spam or not (also before you decide to open the link or not)

That would be OK. In your first post you said it should be automatically opened without clicking a link.

Posts with images can automatically be opened as follows:

Select the message(s) and hit the enter key.
or
Select the message(s), right mouse and choose "Download File and Launch"

I'm sorry, but that's not what I mean. Example: a friend posts a message like "Hey, where can I buy a bike like this one in the pic?" and paste the link to a foto on Imageshack. I would like to see the image already INSIDE the post (automatically, or after allowing it in the preferences). I don't want to download a jpg on the desktop end open it from there, or open Imageshack in a browser.
Anyway, the two options you wrote don't work on my version... (Version 0.73 (Build 174) )

You're right, I didn't explain very well ;-)

That works already for embedded images, but depends on how the image is embedded.

For example:
See the newsgroup: alt.binaries.pictures.aviation
Subject: Why Do Cargo Operators Fly Older Planes? - Boeing 777X would make an excellent cargo aircraft

That only works for posted images, not embedded images.
Posted images has a checkbox in front of the subject.

Ok, thank you. I asked this question just because I don't subscribe binaries groups, and all the users in the (italian) groups use to post a link to share an image. It would be useful (I think) to have the possibility to see the image in the message (as in the binaries groups). Years ago I tried a newsreader (I don't remember the name...) that behaved exactly like I wish Usenapp could do, that's why I tried to ask.

You mean hot-linking images.

That is not much appreciated on the internet.
Moreover, hot-linking hardly works anymore nowadays. Many techniques prevent hot-linking images.
