View (F3) of .dll/.exe -like files

defor · Post by **defor** » 30 Jan 2006, 09:56

Hello,
when i view .dll/.exe (any MZ files), SS displays info about external/internal symbols and a lot of other useful things. This is very useful function indeed. However, sometimes it happens i'd like to switch to a plain HEX view of that file (just to browse through its content) and i can't figure out how to do it. It just switches to hex view of the original info text. Apparently, it is not what i want to see. Would it be possible to switch between these two views (.DLL info -> HEX content browse, and vice versa)?

Use the Files > Alternate View command or Files > View With and choose the Internal Viewer.

To associate viewers with file extenstions, use Options > Configuration > Viewer & Editors.

Agreed, but not this is not very comfortable.

I really like the option in the Total Commander Fileviewer. With the numeric keys you can easily switch between the different modes.

But that is not a problem but a feature request

Alt + F3 instead F3 (or ESC, Alt+F3, when in info view) is enough comfortable for me.

Hi,

i use CTRL+H to switch to Hexmode and CTRL+T to switch back to Info view.

This will change the view mode in the Internal Viewer.

But the discussed problem was opening current file in another viewer (for example in PictView).
