XYplorer Beta Club

My idea is to incorporate an option syntax highlighting some programming languages ​​(C + +, JAVA, etc.)



With the purpose of:

1: A better text display
2: No additional software used for this purpose

IMO too many efforts for little purpose. it's not a bid deal to use specific software for what it was designed.

This piqued my interest enough to try to provide a decent scripting solution.
The results can be found here.

Thanks

I vote +1 to be included by default on xyplorer

@eil: no little purpose at all. The purpose of preview is that you dont have to open the file at all. (You could say the same for imagefiles).
For me this is a crucial part. Download a zip-file and sneak a glance at some of the code in it to check if its worth exploring more shouldn't use my finely tuned programmers editor...

And it shouldn't be too much of a hassle to integrate: there are several tools that use the

Shame you can't try the preview plugin without a SmartFTP license.

The 32-bit installer refuses to install on 64-bit Windows 7 and their 64-bit installer is incomplete since it doesn't appear to install the 32-bit version as well. Otherwise, There's a chance this could work if you configured XY to preview all your code as Web & Office files.

Oh well...

EDIT: According to the change log the 64-bit installer should install both versions:

64-bit setup includes 32-bit binaries as well

It didn't seem to for me but I only had it installed long enough to find out you needed a SmartFTP license to use it - though the behavior in XY vs WE did not match leading to my original assumption.

EDIT 2: Don, does XY support Windows' shell Preview Handlers? Or is it only browser plugins?

I ask because I stumbled over a free (but limited) source code preview handler, but it doesn't work in XY and I'm not sure if it didn't install the 32-bit version, needs a reboot, or if XY just didn't even try to load the handler.

browser plugins.

So, XYplorer's preview is exactly Web Browser's file handling?
For example, I want to preview .abc file with E:\7Utilities\Sublime Text\sublime_text.exe
Then, what registry entry to modify (or better: is there any software/tool to do this assignment?)

Then you need to convince the Sublime Text guys to create a version that can be run within IE.

XY's web previews make use of IE browser plugins - you can't just change registry entries to achieve that.
