Binary Viewer Loading File
There are three ways of loading a file into Text Viewer:- Command Line - TextViewer.exe myfile.xyz. If you use TextViewer for some data type a lot, you can associate TextViewer with that data type file extension.
- Use "Open" icon on the toolbar or "Open" menu item in File menu

List of available formats depends on set of text data definition files installed in the system. You can open the folder with text data definition files from Tools menu - "Open Data definitions folder".
You are welcome to modify text data definition files and create your own ones. You can download recent and experimental versions of data definition files from this website section. All the files listed on this section are covered by license CC BY-SA. It means, that you can use these text data definition files in your non-commercial and commercial projects. You may send us your new and modified text data definition files to review and add to the library. Your efforts will be appreciated by many people.
When you work on text data definition files, you often need to test your changes. You have two options: either put and edit the file in the standard data definition files folder, or load it from some other location. In the first case, you can use "Reload data definitions" menu item in the Tools menu. It will reload all data definitions, then reload your file. "Load data definition file" in the Tools menu is for the second case. It just loads a text data definition file you choose.
