MMview, a universal file viewer

[bigpup]

This is a multiple type file viewer.
It has two viewing panes.
A file list in one pane and the content of the selected file in the other pane. For image files it would be a representation of the image, for text files it would be the file content, for zip files the content of the zip container. With add-ons other file formats may be readable/viewable.

I get a "500 error" when I use that link, but the old murga version works.

The file download link is not working for you?

With all respect (and credit!) to Mochi, here's a noarch .pet for MM_View. It gives you MenuEntries under Filesystem, Graphic and Multimedia.....since it's more than capable of handling all three types.

Just makes it a wee bit simpler to use, I feel. I'm very impressed with this!
