GisViewer is a lister plugin for Total Commander to view shapefiles.
I often need to view an ESRI shapefile before adding it to ArcMap. There's no better way than viewing it via a lister plugin in Total Commander.
An existing plugin, GisLister, does not have x64 versions.
- Accepts a collection of files as a single shapefile. As described on Wikipedia, a shapefile is not a single file, but a collection of files with a common filename prefix and some or all of the following extensions:
.shp, .shx, .dbf, .prj, .sbn, .sbx, .shp.xml. You don't need to carefully select the specific*.shpfile to view. Simply focus on any of the above files and pressF3(orCtrl+Q) to quick view it. When viewing a.dbfor.shp.xmlfile, other lister plugins may take precedence over this one. In that case, you can either adjust the plugin order or view another file in the collection, such as.shp, .shx, .prj, .sbn, .sbx. - Views feature geometry in the
Maptab, with the following tools:- Pan to move (Shortcut: H, default when lister first opens)
- Select to Zoom In, Zoom Out (Shortcut: +/−)
- Mouse wheel to zoom in and out
- Identify features (Shortcut: I)
- Zoom to Max Extent (Shortcut: E)
- Select tools (Not implemented yet)
- Displays the projection at the bottom of the
Maptab if available. - Views attribute data in the
Datatab. - Supports x64.
After installation, move the cursor to a shapefile (any file in the collection) and press Ctrl+Q or F3. That's it.
GisViewer is written in C# and wrapped with the .Net Interface 1.4 into a Total Commander lister plugin. Therefore, you need to install the interface and .NET frameworks. This only needs to be done once; skip if you already have them.
- Install .NET Framework (>=4.5.2). Refer to the .NET Official Site.
- Install the interface. You can download and run it from this repository or from the official website.
- Download and install GisViewer itself. Follow the TotalcmdWiki if you are unsure how.
