quick view and user defined view

Hello,

I'm currently using mc 4.6.0

I'd like to view the contents of files with extension ".x" with a 
program called "xviewer" (I'm currently developing on this). It will 
display some informations about those .x files in ascii format.

Thus I have added some line in the extension file like this:
------------
regex/\.x$
   View=%view{ascii} xviewer %f
------------

This all now works fine when I select a file and view it by pressing F3. 
As I have many directories full of .x files I'd like to browse through 
these directories and see the output of xviewer with one of the panels 
in mc switched to the "Quick view" mode. However Quick view does not 
honour my extension file and displays the raw contents of the .x files.

Is mc able to use "view" actions from the extension file in Quck view 
panels? Is my version too old to do so? Or do I have to configure 
something which I overlooked yet?
