SumatraPDF is great, and I use it for 99% of my PDF reading needs.-skwire (October 28, 2018, 02:09 PM)

Damn, that thing is fast. I've been using PDF-Xchange … But I think I might of just switched!

XYplorer's built-in file viewer displays pdf files properly and does not lock the file being viewed, so you can rename it while viewing it.

That's not a true view though if you're talking about what I think you're talking about. It's just a preview. (Unless I'm totally missing out on a feature)
KodeZwerg:
A preview aint a view? ;D

I just saved a Notepad file and a WinRAR zip while it was open without any issues. Apparently, this is app related more than anything else. Some of MS's Office suite products have this restriction as well.

Do you mean you did a "save as" ?

Nope!. While the file was open, I right-clicked the name of it and renamed it successfully and the file I was viewing, name changed too.
Lintalist:
Just fyi TC's Quick View can be opened in a separate Lister* window, which updates contents when going to other file. And the plugin that will show the PDF uses SumatraPDF which you can simply update by copied SumatraPDF.exe to the lister plugin folder (so you don't have to rely on the plugin developer to keep "PDF viewing" op to date.
* Lister is name of the file viewer component of TC which is also used in regular Quick View panel.
