It is. View 1.0 was accidentally released with some compiler optimizations
disabled.

Set system/view/screen-face/options to a block as follows:
To open on a custom screen and prompt you for a screenmode (AmigaOS 2.1 or
higher):
[exclusive-colors]
To open on a custom screen of a certain mode and depth:
[exclusive-colors screen-mode "NTSC:HighRes" screen-depth 4]
To open on an existing, open, named public screen, created previously
by your favorite public screen manager (e.g. PSI):
[exclusive-colors screen-name "screenname"]
Opening on a public screen is recommended with View, because that way multiple
instances of View (main desktop and launched scripts e.g.) can share the same
screen.

Yes.

It can. Have you tried ? Just enter the arguments as tool types with one
tool type per argument, e.g.
+q
-s
