Hi,

I've found some MHT files that UV struggles to display. It does display them eventually, but it takes a while to render them. If you then swap to another program and then back to UV, it has to re-render the file again, making it unresponsive until it does. You also seem to be not able to select any text from the webpage when UV displays it either, which is odd. Any files saved from the Microsoft Answers website (such as this thread here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/mseupdate/thread/87328bc0-0cb6-4e90-ab82-ae5f9b3d7c5c) will bring up the problem. MHT's saved in Firefox using UnMHT.

hm, must be issue of IE (try IE7?). Also check does it bring up in IE itself (when you open such mht in MSIE).

Using IE8 here. It does open in IE, but very slowly - and IE isn't too responsive when it has it open. For example, I cannot click and drag on that open page to highlight text (nor can I on the same page open in UV). Actually, I cannot even close IE without resorting to Task Manager with that page open.

So that is IE issue.

Ah, I didn't know that UV use IE. I assumed it would use its own HTML engine.

Hi,

i added a tool (ultra edit) in the toolbar of the UV 5.1.0, but when i want to use it, i get an message:

NavPanel
Trial period is expired! Press OK to register.

I never used the Navigation Panel. What can i do to avoid this ?

Many thanks

Clas

Navpanel is used also for running tools. (it is written in the help.)

According to Lifehacker, the freeware version includes the navigation. I thought that was only in the registered for-pay version.

How can I display line numbers in version 5.3.1 portable ?

Alextp · Post by *Alextp » 2010-07-05, 07:57 UTC

as in all other versions. Go to options, Text/ 'Gutter and line numbers' btn.

Thanks I overlooked that button

. I have only one question. Is it posible to change the location of the ini file to the directory where Universal Viewer is ?

Alextp · Post by *Alextp » 2010-07-05, 12:48 UTC

yes, of course. See help: "Config. files" - if you place (e.g. empty) viewer.ini/ViewerHistory.ini to the UV folder they will be used.

5.4.0: added "Custom height" options, ignore list.
