Universal Viewer v5.5.6.2

Homepage

Universal Viewer is an advanced file viewer with wide range of formats supported. Implemented view modes and corresponding file formats are:

* Text, Binary, Hex, Unicode: any files, of unlimited size (even 4Gb+ sizes are allowed)
* RTF, UTF-8: RTF and UTF-8 encoded texts
* Image: all general graphics formats: BMP JPG GIF PNG TGA TIFF... plus all formats supported by IrfanView/XnView external viewers
* Multimedia: all formats supported by MS Windows Media Player: AVI MPG WMV MP3...
* Internet: all formats supported by MS Internet Explorer: HTML XML DOC XLS...
* Plugins: all formats supported by Total Commander Lister plugins

Application is fully Unicode-compatible and can be integrated into Windows Explorer's context menu, so there is no problem to call it from anywhere in Explorer: right-click a file and select the "Universal Viewer" item. It can also be integrated into other popular file managers.

Generally, Universal Viewer is an application similar to Total Commander Lister. But, comparing to Lister, it has some major advantages:

* Full support for Unicode filenames
* Built-in functions of several popular plugins: images, multimedia, webpages view
* Support for multiple codepages: ANSI, OEM, EBCDIC, ISO, KOI8, Mac etc.
* Toolbar, status bar, other interface improvements
* Auto-reloading of file on changing, "Follow tail" option
* Displaying of line numbers
* Displaying of non-printable characters
* Combined Unicode/Hex mode (call Unicode mode twice)
* More modern RegEx search library
* Print preview
* EXIF viewer

In the Lister plugins section you will find the list of rather good Lister plugins to use in conjunction with UV. These plugins are developed by 3rd parties and are not included into UV installation.

Well, I have included the following plugins from the plugin page:
==> Office, Excellence, ListDoc, PDFView, Imagine, ICLview, FlashView, Font, XBaseView, FileInfo, PE Viewer, TxquickView, NFO View, Office2007, OpenOffice

While trying to update to v 5.5.6.2, the installer now requires you to be online before it will install. Otherwise a pop up message will appear and you cannot proceed with the installation. I do not know why it need to go online. The developer has change its installer routine. Perhaps check / send some information to its server and maybe download some files behind your back. So it is something I do not like or feel comfortable about it.

Nevertheless, I repackage this to inf addon so there is no need to be online to install. Includes all usual plugins as before. English only.

Updated to v 5.5.6.2
