- Short: "MultiView"-type program (and much more!) for WB2.x/3.x
- Type: gfx/view
- Uploader: inf01@uni-trier.de
-
- MegaView is a "Multiview"-type program running on all Workbench version
- later than 2.0 (Kickstart 37.175). It is basically a frontend for viewer
- programs, but it can recognize the type of a file (Text, ILBM, GIF...) and
- invoke a viewer/other program on this file. MegaView is extensible,
- meaning that new file types can easyly be added to the set of types it
- already knows, and for each type an action can be specified, that will get
- executed with the file name. MegaView can be an AppIcon or a AppMenu on
- your Workbench, or can be used from a shell. New to this version (2.0) is
- the possibility to search a set of paths for a file (i.e. a MAN function),
- some bug fixes, and a MUI-Based Editor for the FileActions. See the
- documentation for a full feature list. Here are only a few:
-
- - Completely customizable using script files and/or editor
- - Automatic file recognition using the whatis.library
- - AppIcon/AppMenuItem support
- - Workbench support
- - ToolTypes/Project icon support
- - MAN function: given a file or a file prefix, MegaView searches
- a given list of paths for a file that matches the prefix. Usable
- on all file types that MegaView knows of, e.g. AmigaGuide, Text...
- - Easy installation using Commodores Installer (tm)
- - AmigaGuide documentation
- - Full-Blown graphical editor for FileActions (MUI required)
- - Includes source in Aztec C
-
- You can use MegaView for all viewing purposes, as well as things like
- automatic compilation of C programs, TeX processing without a shell, etc.
- Can even be downgraded to serve as a printer spooler, choosing the right way
- to print each file.
