Using the Viewer

Contents

 

see also 3 Viewer Menu

 

Click the viewer button.image\Help0001.gif

Select a file to view in the file panel.

That's It!

 

Use the "Clear Viewer" menu items to free up the memory held by the last viewed file. Particularly if it is a file such as a word document or a pdf.

 

The <up> and <down> arrow keys are useful to switch between files

 

The following formats are supported (this list is not exhaustive.. and if you look at the HKET_LOCAL_MACHINE software OneHundredAngryAnts Key in the registry you may be able to add more):

Sounds & Movies

".wav", ".mid",".au", ".snd", ".mp3", ".mp2", ".dat", ".m3u", ".mp3", ".mpv2"
".avi", ".aif", ".aiff", ".aifc", ".m1v", ".mov", ".mpa", ".mpe", ".mpeg", ".mpg", ".qt"

Pictures

".bmp",".jpg",".jpeg",".bmp",".gif",".ico" enhanced metafiles

fileant will read all the volumes at once quite quickly

just ask if you want me to add more archive formats.. it is pretty easy

Web

".htm", ".html", ".shtml", ".eml", ".dir", ".xmb", ".plg", ".asp"
".htw", ".its", ".url", ".wrl", ".wrz", ".vrml", ".viv", ".pdf", and all ie related docs

and most office documents if office is installed

Other

".scr",".rtf"

 

 ยป All others are treated as ".txt" ...

 There is a "Strip ASCII" option in the viewer menu.. this is quite safe to use and it will remove all ASCII 2 characters from the file for display only.
