Is it possible to use lua or some other method to load a jpg in a popup window via a trigger?

See this thread:

Using the method described there I was able to load up a picture using the default viewer (in my case, Irfanview), by simply executing this line:


assert (windows_utils.shell_execute ("c:\\my_picture.png"))


For this to work you need to have loaded windows_utils.dll, and enabled "Allow DLLs to be loaded" in the Lua sandbox.

Here is how to load the DLL:


assert (package.loadlib ("windows_utils.dll", "luaopen_windows_utils")) ()


The DLL is available for downloading from the MUSHclient download page (see button above).
