Well, here goes.  After much mucking about I've managed to make (get)
Multiview to open on a separate screen when veiwing MIME attached
jpegs (at least).  It *should* work with any file viewed with
Multiview though.

I reinstalled the original picture.datatype (v39.14) from my WB3.0
disk and noticed that what I thought was the original picture.datatype
(that was currently installed) was, in fact, not.  I didn't check
the version number but now remember that the file sizes were
different.  I've installed heaps new(er) datatypes over the past
couple of years and at some time it's been replaced.

I then installed the JFIF datatype (v39.25) from jfif_dtc.lha AND
jfif_FIX.lha from Aminet and deleted the old JPEG datatype files.

Now, when I call Multivew from Thor it opens on it's own screen.  I
believe this is what the programmers originally intended to happen.  I
don't believe you can pass any arguments to Multiview from Thor when
viewing MIME files.


Later,

Seany.
