Re: Open a file with standard application from dialog

Volker,

This "TargetResolution" is of no meaning for you , i use it to show the 
"future" dimensions of the graphic when published in a magazine, and 
there we need 240 pixels per puplisched
inch That results in some comments (size indicator in columns) in the 
"FileInfo" listbox of the dialog

For showing the content of the picked file, OO uses there own 
"thumbnail" mechanisme i think ?

You can make everithing "bigger" (even full screen) and reasonable 
readable by enlarging the dialog (using the UI-cursor) and OO remember 
the latest dimensions.

hope it helps
