Returns a Lister object representing the Lister that launched the viewer (if there was one, and if it still exists) or, if viewer re-use is enabled, last sent files to the viewer.
There may be a parentlister object in situations where there is no longer a parenttab object. For example, if the tab was closed since the viewer opened, or if a request to open an image from something other than a folder tab was received by the viewer, then there will no longer be a parenttab but the parentlister property will persist.
This property is a snapshot of the situation when the Viewer scripting object was created; it won't change in reaction to script actions.
| | | parentlisterlinked | *bool* |Returns True if the viewer is in Lister-Linked mode with the parent Lister. This means the viewer acts like a detached preview pane, displaying each file as it is selected in the Lister.

| | | parenttab | *object:*[**Tab**](https://chaoses-ib.gitbook.io/directory-opus/manual/reference/scripting_reference/scripting_objects/tab) |Returns a Tab object representing the tab that launched the viewer (if there was one, and if it still exists) or, if viewer re-use is enabled, last sent files to the viewer.
If you want the Lister rather than the Tab, the parentlister property (above) should be used, as it is more persistent. Additionally, do not assume parenttab is still the active tab in the Lister; query the Lister object if you need that.

| | | right | *int* | Returns the right coordinate of the viewer window. | | | selection | *object:*[**Rect**](https://chaoses-ib.gitbook.io/directory-opus/manual/reference/scripting_reference/scripting_objects/rect) | Returns a [**Rect**](https://chaoses-ib.gitbook.io/directory-opus/manual/reference/scripting_reference/scripting_objects/rect) object representing the current selection area (if any) of the image. If there's no selection the rectangle will be empty. | | | title | *string* |Returns or sets the title bar string for the viewer window.
You can use several special "tokens" in the title string to insert various pieces of information:
int

<Command:command>
Runs a command in the context of this viewer window. You can either pass a string or a \*\*Command\*\*object.
If the argument you pass is a string then it can only be a viewer command argument as documented for the Show VIEWERCMD command. For example, Command("next") would run the \*\*Show VIEWERCMD=next \*\* command in the context of this viewer.
If you pass a Command object then all commands (internal or external) can be used.
| | IsOnCurrentDesktop | *none* | *bool* | Returns **True** if the viewer is on the current virtual desktop. | | MoveToDesktop | \\
\
Used to change how the viewer window is grouped with other Opus windows on the taskbar. Specify a group name to move the window into an alternative group, or omit the group argument to reset back to the default group. If one or more windows are moved into the same group, they will be grouped together, separate from other the default group.
This only works when taskbar grouping is enabled. Group names are limited to 103 characters and will be truncated if longer. Spaces and dots in group names are automatically converted to underscores.
Returns true on success.
