Re: How about a file viewer and editor?

You may try "snippets" one-click solution for "F3 View" / "F4 Edit" as shown in " XYplorer behave NortonCommander "--thread ? Thanks for the link - I'll look into those. Interesting coincidence... the program those scripts call is the UniversalViewer, which i...

Re: How about a file viewer and editor?

Well, we'll see. I'm not even sure what is expected since JimW never came back to answer the questions... He's busy preparing for a business trip that will have him away from home for a week, so time was not something he had a lot of. :D But seriously... I did want to see how this was working out t...

Re: How about a file viewer and editor?

Hey - an interface to define 3rd party programs :mrgreen: (Sorry - I had to say that :roll: ) I'll try to get serious again: I think it's not bad to give users some pre-defined solution for more or less common functions, instead of letting them learn to do this in a mor flexible, but complicated or...

Re: How about a file viewer and editor?

BTW, it just came to me that JimW maybe does not know about the Preview tab ... maybe that's what he means by "viewer"? I did see that one too, but it's a bit different then what I was looking for. Trust me, if you had to work with the size and complexity of the logs files I do you'd quic...

Re: How about a file viewer and editor?

But XY does all that already, pretty much. XY does have a viewer actually, under File|Quick File View, great to read text files, and for binary files you get an hex view of its content. Although limited (to the first 32KB for binary files, and 256KB for text files IIRC), it still is quite useful an...

Re: How about a file viewer and editor?

Just to make sure: Your F3 does open the same viewer app for each file type? I assume you're referring to TC? If so then the answer is yes, it launches the internal file viewer (which is primarily designed for text files). TC can be configured to use a different --external -- viewer if you hit the ...

How about a file viewer and editor?

I'm a Windows Server admin for a large, multi-billion dollar candy manufacturer. As such my file management needs are quiet extensive. I've been using FAR for at least 10 years, and have always been very please with how it works. Recently I've gone in search of a high-end filemanager, one that had a...
