File Content Streamer

---

⚙️ The File Content Streamer eliminates the need to download a file in order to view its contents locally. With this feature, you can open and inspect any file, even binary ones as plain text, without transferring the entire file first.

The content is streamed directly to a dedicated viewer window and displayed in a paginated format, similar to reading a book. Pagination plays a key role in optimizing performance: it accelerates the streaming process and allows files of any size, from just a few bytes to several terabytes, to be opened instantly without consuming excessive bandwidth, CPU, or RAM.

Supported View Modes

Hex Table (Beta)

Displays the file content in a hexadecimal table, ideal for analyzing binary files. This feature is currently in beta and lacks selection capabilities. Editing functionality will be introduced in a future release.

Hex View

Displays the file content as a plain-text hexadecimal dump.

Strings View

Displays extracted ANSI and Unicode strings from the current page. This view is useful for examining text files or analyzing binary files to identify embedded strings. It allows filtering by string type (ANSI, Unicode, or both) and by minimum string length.

Available Options

• Page Size Update: The page size can be adjusted dynamically to increase or decrease the amount of content displayed. The maximum limit is 400 KiB to prevent performance or memory issues.
• Go To Page: Instead of navigating sequentially (previous/next), you can jump directly to a specific page by entering its number.
• Download File: At any time, you can download the entire file through the Optix transfer system for local use or analysis.
