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.
