Although it has previously been rejected (see viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3685), I just wanted to vouch for NFOPad too -- which is portable in the present version: IMHO, the best .NFO file viewer out there -- after the demise of DAMN NFO Viewer.

Cheers,

P.S.: Shame on me, I did have a few posts here, but my account was suspended for lack of recent activity...

Could someone enlighten me, please?! What is a .nfo file useful for? What can it do that .txt and .doc can't? I've never seen a .nfo file outside a downloaded torrent folder (and used there to describe the properties of downloaded file, be it a movie, a linux distro or other).

I don't use a specialty NFO viewer because NotePad or any other text editor can view them fine.

V1.5.9 is out.
Any interest?

Nice catch. I almost didn't see that.

Before I bug NFOPad developer about it, I'd like to check with anyone who reads this if they're getting any similar error while trying to auto-paste dates (CTRL+D) with the latest version (v1.73)?
