Nice tool. Should accept copy&pasted JSON-Data too.
Would be even better, if it could produce JSON classes for C#, VB.NET from the JSON data.

I would suggest to use online json viewer http://codebeautify.org/jsonviewer

...sorry, my previous comment only applies to the stable version 1.4.7 - changing "HKCU\Software\QtProject.." to "HKCU\Software\Trolltech.." in "ScribusPortable.ini" does it.
The test version (1.5.4) is stealth out of the box.

Scribus 1.5.8 released See https://www.scribus.net/scribus-1-5-8-released/
" The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the release of version 1.5.8. Like previous releases, work on version 1.5.8 focused mostly on bugfixes and code optimizations, the latter of which are expected to lead to reliability and speed improvements. We have also begun to prepare Scribus for using Qt6, which will make our work easier for future releases. "

I am not sure this release i portable,since itis not a "paf" file.

User2100 on 2023-11-09 13:55

Looks like a nice program, but the first CSV I loaded failed at linefeeds within quotes and treated those as new records, even though the developer site links to a CSV definition article that starts by saying it should be able to. Both excel and libreoffice did load the file correctly. Ah well.

Give a try instead to Nirsoft's CSVFileView https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=2156

* Still needs 2001 "Auto subtopics table of contents" add-on manually added

Be forewarned: PrecisionHelper can't create help files without "Microsoft Html Help Workshop" but instructions for its download and portable install are nowhere to be found.
