Tools - Quick preview
Quick Preview, is a tool that allows you to preview many different types of files directly from Spider, such as images, HTML documents, text files, animations, etc. You can launch the quick view window from the menu or the file list button bar on the Projects tab. This command is marked with the icon shown above. Viewing files
To preview a selected file, select it in the file list of the Projects tab, and then use the Quick View command. A window will open and you will see a preview of the selected file. In Quick View you can view HTML document files both as source code and preview in the browser, CSS style sheets (the Spider generates and displays HTML document that allows you to preview formatted), graphic files (GIF, JPG, PNG), text files (txt, css ), AVI and SWF (Flash) animations, WAV sounds and MID music. Window layout
The window consists of a bar with buttons at the top and a preview area. Button bar
On the button bar you will find commands that allow you to both navigate through the list of files of the Projects tab (you can also move through the list using the arrow keys)and insert the viewed media into the HTML documents you are creating. The following buttons are:
- Hide preview when not needed - allows you to automatically close the preview window when you leave the quick preview window
