If this setting is checked, a bar is shown in each splitter to indicate that it can be dragged for resizing. (This setting applies only to the quick viewer splitters, not the main splitter. For controlling the main splitter hot spot, use "Tools → Settings → View", option "Hot spot visible".)
After open file - set focus to quick viewer
If this setting is checked, after opening the file in the quick viewer (menu item "View → Quick viewer" or shortcut Ctrl+Q) the focus is set to the quick viewer panel.
Example of detecting the focus: The pressing of the ↓ key affects either the panel or the quick viewer panel.
Quick viewer size by file type
The size of the quick view panel can be defined depending on file types. This is possible, if:

Quick viewer size
If a file is opened in the quick view panel and its file type is in the list of file types, the quick viewer size used to show the last displayed file of this type in the quick view panel is used to show the file to be opened.
