The onboard file viewer "daughter" windows in ClikView quickly launch virtually any file directly in the main ClikView screen. You can assign any file extension to specific file viewer windows when you set up your preferences. To launch a file into the onboard file viewer windows, simply do a single left-click on the file name in the ClikView File Manager Panel. If you wish to launch the file into its native application (launch a .html file into your default browser instead of the ClikView Browser) - just double left-click on the file name. The special, full-featured ClikView file viewer windows include:
Text Viewer /
Editor - This would include .txt, .ini, .wri - any file that
is text based (except source code files that will open in the source
code viewer). This viewer has full editing capabilities.
