Another little tool. I made this so that new C# or WPF coders can hopefully learn something from it. Also I haven't really seen a simple, straight-to-the-point NFO Viewer yet. Those are the reasons for making it. This is the initial release so you shouldn't expect too much :).

Download v0.2 (Installer):

Source:

http://ifile.it/ftwcx4a/Hyperz.NfoViewer.Source.v0.2.zip

Futures:
- Read code page 437 encoded NFO files (o rly?)
- Export NFO to PNG image
- Export NFO to UTF-8 encoded xHTML (transitional/strict valid)
- About box has a catchy tune, I want cookies for this

v0.2 Notes:
- Made an installer, nfo files are now automatically associated with the program.
- Implemented the settings.
- Fixed an issue where exporting large nfo's to PNG would result in unclear text rendering.
- Fixed missing font in the About dialog.
- Better exception handling.

Enjoy.

No problem guys.

Btw, I forgot to embed the font that I used for the animated text in the About window. Could someone let me know if it uses the correct font regardless?
 
Thanks m8. As I suspected, incorrect font. Probably uses the OS default in your case.

When I assign nfoviewer as default program to open on .nfo files, it doesn't work (no NFO file shown - blank). Open With -> doesn't work either. It'll only work once I open it in program (or drag and drop).

<3 it Hyperz. Gonna switch from Notepad++ for viewing NFOs to this. Way better. Cleaner! =D

Also, it might be cool to have like 10 keygen/chiptunes songs in the About section with a mini player? It would add a little weight to the program but it would be nice to have some more music in the About section.
 
It doesn't open it because handling command line arguments isn't implemented in the version I posted here. That was still on my to-do list. That has been done now and the installer automatically associates it with nfo files. So all of that will work in v0.2. I also fixed a few things.

About the module sound in the about box; I think one is enough ;).
