    I’m using the stereo mode in Desktop Viewer quite often. I would like to toggle this mode with a hotkey rather than going through the Ingame Menu.

    Is there a way to do this?

    With some Autohotkey magic maybe?

    That sounds like a useful hatkey addition. Can’t promise anything for this week’s beta release, but probably will come in the not too distant future.

    Sounds like a great idea, i appreciate this.

    Hey there! I also use the stereo mode a lot, especially for games that really benefit from the depth perception. I agree, a hotkey for toggling it would be a massive time-saver. Imagine quickly switching it on and off while playing something fast-paced like Snow Rider 3D! Having to navigate the menu every time definitely breaks the flow. Hopefully, there’s a configuration file we can tweak or a hidden command line argument to achieve this. Good question!

    There will be a hotkey in the next vorpX version. :)

    Totally forgot about this, implemented it right away earlier today. With the next vorpX build the stereo disable hotkey (ALT+X per default), which serves no purpose in desktop viewer and various other programs that only handle pre-created 3D, will loop through the available input stereo modes in such programs.

    Just a heads-up that i went the extra mile and spent two full days to come up with an auto SBS detection that continuously analyses the image content and decides whether it’s SBS 3D or not.

    After quite a bit of fiddling around it’s now super reliable even in difficult edge cases with all 3D movies I checked. Should also work fine with S3D games usually. The only situation where I could potentially imagine it to fall apart is when cranking up 3D too much in a S3D game.

    Not quite sure yet whether I’ll turn that on per default in desktop viewer since there is a small remaining risk of false positives. So more testing is required before deciding that. If not, you’ll be able to switch it on in the vorpX menu.
