Download the Freeware Base Edition here or from sourceforge. The current version is 1.3.5 (read changes here). Intense users may be interested in the Extended Edition. Under Windows, run the tool through double-click, then click on Open and select a folder containing many text files. Alternatively, open a command line and type "dview dirname". Under Linux: make sure Wine is installed, then type "wine dview.exe -linux dirname". Both ways will run Depeche View. The tool will load all text files from the given directory, and all subdirectories, and display their contents in one large window:
it is searched instantly, and instantly you jump to the first occurrence, again.
Fly by mouse.
To fly over all hits for the current search, hold SHIFT and turn the mouse wheel down.
you will step over every occurrence in every file. Again, no dialogue boxes,
you don't even have to press any key, e.g. to jump from file to file - nothing.
If you're on a notebook without a mouse, use SHIFT+CURSOR DOWN instead.
New views by a single click.
As said above, a SHIFT+left button click on any word searches it instantly,
within the same window. But what if you want to stay with one piece of text,
and search another word in a second window? Simple: do a right mouse click.
This example was a right-click onto "Report". Because no second window existed yet,
it was created, and the word searched therein. No dragging around of window edges,
no long and time-wasting size changes - view two parts of text instantly.
Keys sorted by frequency.
Press F1 anytime to switch between multi-view and full screen mode. It's F1 and not
some other key, because switching between these two view modes is the function used
most frequently within Depeche View - therefore it uses the key easiest to reach.
Fully portable application, instant use from USB stick.
No installation. No registry spamming, DLL's or other complicated stuff.
Just copy dview.exe onto your USB stick, and use it instantly where needed.
To change some default behaviour, you may create a config file (example here),
and copy it into the same directory as dview (for example, on your USB stick).
