Did a quick check and it seems to work fine on XP. Maybe wait for other users to confirm before making an official release.

Re: EdgeViewer - Modern HTML viewer plugin
Internal links in local markdown files don't work in EdgeViewer and MarkdownView.
Example:
Using EdgeViewer I get following message, when I click on such kind of link to header in md file.
Right clicking on the link and choosing "Copy link", I get something like "http://local.example/PATH/TO/#topic-1" with OfflineMode=0 and 1 in edgeviewer.ini.
In MarkdownView there happens nothing when clicking on the link and I get "file:///DRIVELETTER:/PATH/TO/#topic-1" when copying link, no matter whether ForceOffline=0 or 1 in MarkdownView.ini.
Note: There is NO file name and extension in the path of viewed README.md before #topic-1 in both EdgeViewer and MarkdownView.
Download Example_md.zip
Using MarkdownView 2.5 x64 and EdgeViewer 1.0.7.0 x64, Commander 11.02 x64 on Windows 11 23H2 22631.2861 x64.
Example:
Code: Select all
1. [How-To](#how-to)
...
...
## How-To
Some text...
Code: Select all
The file was not found.
It may have been moved, edited, or deleted.

Re: EdgeViewer - Modern HTML viewer plugin
Dear all,
I like the effort making a new HTML viewer based on the current Chromium based browser engine. In the past I was using the good old HTMLViewer plugin.
I work as a system administrator and use this plugin to have an insight into html documents for IT-security reasons. This gives me a HTML layouted view of the document instead of opening HTML files inside an text editor.
I use it in front of opening unknown or "suspicious" files in native browsers like Chrome, Edge, Firefox,... Do you have any suggestions for hardening this plugin regarding secure view of html files of "unknown sources? Is it more safe to use this plugin instead of well-configured external browsers?
And do you think EdgeView is more or less secure than the old HTMLView plugin?
Thanks for feedback![😊](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f60a.svg)

Matthias030,
Well, for text-only viewing, TC's internal HTML mode of the Lister (F3) would be a good choice.

You may use offine mode or set proxy to 0.0.0.0, that would be enough for most cases.

Re: EdgeViewer - Modern HTML viewer plugin
Dear MaxX and Hacker,
Thank you both for this information. I am now using the offline switch in edgeviewer.ini and also set proxy to 0.0.0.0 by a paramater from here:
https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/
EdgeView is slower in loading times compared to the old HTMLVIew. On the other hand, I think it will become more compatible with newer HTML files in the future.
@Hacker: You're right. The TC-internal HTML viewer is the most secure way to review HTML files. Unfortunately it is displayed without any layout / design information and stripped down to the "real" content only. Sometimes this is a little to less for me![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Greetings,
