View passes ALL highlighted files in the Zip File Contents container to the default View program for each file type (if SmartView is "enabled") or to the program(s) the user selects from a list of associated programs, i.e., OpenWith (pop-up menu)). Several files can be viewed at the same time.
If SmartView is enabled, the "defined viewer for that type file" will be determined by the "association" set via the operating system, when supported, or via the OpenWith "Make default" button.
OpenWith, the ability to select a program with which to View a file, may be forced, even if SmartView is enabled, by using the popup menu over the selected file.
OpenWith may be helpful for viewing files that, as an example, have a .dat file extension, but are actually plain text files.
Double-clicking a file performs the same actions as View.
Note: "Viewing" a file that is a program or executable will run that program, unless you use the pop-up menu to select OpenWith and then select an editor.
