PICT files not well supported
I don’t think this application solves my niche problem any better than stuff I already have (Graphic Converter and iDraw). Although the application claims support for old file types like .PICT, I’m not having much luck with them. My files are from .pict files exported from Claris CAD and such. Maybe they’ve lost their resource fork or something. Maybe you have to tag an extension onto them or maybe it’s just not possible to read the old .PICT files when they have vector information in them. Most are called a Unix executable file by the current Finder and that’s what this app calls them but they don’t get displayed. I’ve been looking for this for a long time with no luck.
In Hex format it would be nice to see the ASCII and HEX linkage
It’s very difficult to coorelate the HEX and ASCII when viewing. It would be nice to move the mouse over an ASCII character and see the cooresponding HEX be highlighted. Or, it would be nice if the ASCII was clustered into 4 character groups to match with the 8 HEX groups. As a result, you spend a lot of time counting characters into the displayed field to match them up.
Iso Reader For Mac
Good - If the files is supported
If the file type that you’re trying to view is supported it works great. Sadly it doesn’t report much information on MP3 or other audio files.
The text view is pretty cool though. Definitely worth a look!

An NFO file is a ReadMe on crack – it includes all the basic information about the downloaded movie, game or application, often with a nice ASCII text art finish.
Most people out there have already discovered that these files can be opened by Notepad or another text processing application. This ‘works’ in the most basic sense of the word, but it’s clumsy and pretty ugly – you’re missing out on a lot of the fun.
To really use NFO files to their full extent you’ll need an NFO File Reader or Viewer – an application specifically designed to deal with these files. Today we’ll take a look at three of the best free NFO File Readers (and one creator) on the software market.
ACiDView 6
ACiDView is currently one of – and in my personal opinion, the best NFO file reader out there. This free application is actually an all-around image viewer, with support for JPEG, GIF, and other popular image formats. It might not be the best image viewer you’ll encounter, but as an NFO viewer it easily beats its competitors because of all the extra functionalities.
Perhaps one of the most useful features is the browsing sidebar, which allows you to quickly select your NFO and other files. I’ve tried out several other NFO viewers in my technological past, and this is a feature you’ll start to miss fast.
Nfo Reader For Windows 10
You can also autoscroll the NFO files, view them fullscreen, and change the resolution and basic formatting options such as font type and colour palette.
If you open them via the Open dialog, Notepad will open the exe file pointed to by the.lnk file. Opening.lnk files in HxD Hex Editor: Open them as you would any file using the Open dialog (File –> Open). Opening.lnk files using the command prompt: Navigate to the folder containing the.lnk files and type the command: “TYPE SHORTCUTNAME.LNK”. Well, what is this LNK file supposed to be? For example a common mistake is that people have a link/shortcut to some Excel or Word file on their Desktop and attach it to an email instead of the actual file [stored somewhere]. How to open lnk files.
For the real freaks, ACIDView can stream an NFO file to simulate the desired speed of a certain modem connection and slow down the animation accordingly.
DAMN NFO Viewer
DAMN NFO Viewer makes a good second to ACiDViewer. It’s not as graphically oriented as other applications, but instead more like a text viewer with ASCII support. As such, it’s got a tighter letter spacing and a reversed (or actually, ‘normal’ colour palette). This makes it a lot better for reading, but less ‘fun’ and good-looking for the ASCII (fear not, this can be fixed).
DAMN NFO Viewer supports NFO-, DIZ- and TXT files. It’s the basic package, without too much extra stuff – just read your NFO’s and optionally tweak your formatting a little bit.
NFOlux
Last but not least is NFOlux. This tiny application will both let you view or create NFO files. Although the viewer doesn’t stand up to big guys like ACIDViewer, it’s extremely rare and useful to have an NFO reader and creator in one – to my knowlege, this is the only application that does this.
The special features are to be found in the creation section. There’s an ‘auto generator’ that’ll create an NFO for you, based on some basic release information, with a Movie- and an Application template included. Custom characters can be added with the integrated characters palette and the click of a button.
NFOlux won’t do anything special in the reading department, but offers a few unique functions for creating NFOs – it’s the combination of these two applications that makes NFOlux a winning formula.
