EdgeViewer - Modern HTML viewer plugin

[rg_software]

That links to a very old version of EdgeViewer.

Really? Try this.

Yes, way back from November 2022!

That works.
The Dir mode is almost useless.
It only shows a few thumbnails on some dirs and a blank page on most others.
In no way a substitute for HTMLView.

Yeah, the challenge is to figure out what actually should be done. I have no idea how HTMLView works. At a glance, it simply opens a folder in IE. I can't reproduce this behavior in Edge or even in IE.

If you try opening a folder in a browser, it simply shows files and folders, just like Windows Explorer.

I am planning to make a little update of my other plugin (wcx-markdown-viewer), which is based on HTMLView, so I'll look closer what's going on there.

May I suggest that you add webp - like:

Code: Select all

; also show directory contents
Dirs=1
DirImageExt=jpg|jpeg|png|gif|svg|bmp|webp

PHP files are plain text, that is until they're executed (by some web server). Such execution usually results in HTML code which is then interpreted by a web browser displaying a web page. But after they're executed, they're not PHP files per se anymore.

NB: HTML and PHP are both plain text, but with different syntax.

I mean "plain text" as regular text with no html/xml/other markup.
Any saved "php" link becomes a regular html file with .php extension on user side.

That needs a server component, which is not available by just viewing a PHP script.

Correct. Well, PHP files are a kind of special. Depending on where they appear their content is completely different.

Still, such files shouldn't be interpreted as HTML by default because people who know PHP expect it to be handled as a PHP script file.

Well, that's not a problem for me to write PHP and some another extensions myself. No need to break existing standards.

Not yet; I have just uploaded the current version of Edge Viewer to totalcmd.net, so will take a look at markdown viewer.

Anything in particular you are interested in?

Sure. Some code is shared between these projects. So I fixed it in EdgeViewer, will check if the same bug is in the other plugin.
