Launch Command
(File Menu)
A file in the file list can be launched in its’ associated application
with the File/Launch command. You can also launch a file by double clicking
on its name in the file list. If there is no association, then this
command will have no effect.
Files inside ZIP archives cannot be launched directly, so a temporary
copy will be extracted and it will be launched instead. This file will
be destroyed when Wilbur quits, so Wilbur makes the file read only to
remind you that you cannot save changes to it.
Note that some programs, such as Microsoft Word, keep the file they
are viewing open all the time. This means that Wilbur may not be able
to view a file from a zip archive if it has already been launched by
Wilbur and is still open. This could also prevent Wilbur from deleting
the temporary file when it quits, so you should probably leave Wilbur
running until you are finished with the file. You could also occasionally
check the folder set as the "Temporary Zip Path" in the File/Preferences
dialog when Wilbur isn't running, and delete anything that has been
left.
