Hi and welcome to the XY forums!
While it is possible to add some additional formats to preview via INI Tweaks (see http://88.191.26.34/XYwiki/index.php/INI_Tweaks#Preview), this presumes that one can preview the file via IE integration, and attempting to use IE to look at a typical INI file, I find that it opens WordPad to do it...so thus may not work as desired.
So for a typical text based INI file, I just use the Raw View tab instead.
Now it's also possible to set the switch on Config Previewed formats panel to auto-preview in Raw any non-defined ones, so that would allow you to use the "Preview" tab and get same result, but I prefer this switch off myself.

Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

Is the XYwiki available at a different place now? Links with 88.191.26.34 IP address don't work anymore. Thanks.

Re: Configure preview
It does seem that I'm able to preview INI files here on my Win 7 set up.
Floating preview and "mouse down blow up" also seem work...

Right. I wasn't asking about the original question, but rather where the "how to" wiki articles can be found these days.

Unfortunately, that wiki was owned and operated by a user and they've since closed it and are no longer an active member of the forum.kinook wrote:Right. I wasn't asking about the original question, but rather where the "how to" wiki articles can be found these days.
There's a cached version of the linked page here: https://web.archive.org/web/20081208114 ... INI_Tweaks
XYplorer has changed dramatically in the last 8 years though, so I don't suggest reading the archived content.
In this particular case, Don brought these tweaks for adding custom extensions to the preview categories into the configuration GUI as of v9.00.0207 (2010-04-30).
