Version 14
Posted: Sat May 25, 2013 1:38 am
Version 14 of The V File Viewer can now be downloaded from the Downloads page.
V14 contains only one main new feature - the ability to view CSV files (CSV = Comma Separated Value).
CSV files are typically used to represent tabular data, where each line in the file represents a row of a table. Each line contains the text of each column in the row, separated by a comma (although other characters can be used).
By default, V14 will automatically recognize CSV files and will display them as a table - where all the columns have the same width (much like a spreadsheet). Although unlike a spreadsheet, the column widths in V are fixed (determined by the longest entry in the column) and cannot be resized.
Other minor features include:
If your current registration is less than 6 years old, you can upgrade to Version 14 for free. The V About Box will indicate if your free upgrades have expired. If your registration is more than 6 years old, you will need to re-register in order to use the new version.

Twitter users can now follow @fileviewer. This will be a very low traffic feed containing announcements of new versions, tips and tricks on using V and perhaps other stuff that I think may be of interest to V users.

Other minor features include:
