<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The right pane of the [[StudioZip:Archive Tab|Studio ZIP tab]] shows the file you selected in the tree. The header above it shows the path of the file inside the archive.<br />
<br />
== What is shown ==<br />
Studio ZIP decides in this order:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! File !! How it is detected !! Shown as<br />
|-<br />
| Image || File extension <code>.png</code>, <code>.jpg</code>, <code>.jpeg</code>, <code>.gif</code>, <code>.webp</code>, <code>.bmp</code>, <code>.ico</code>, <code>.svg</code> or <code>.avif</code> || The image<br />
|-<br />
| PDF || Extension <code>.pdf</code>, or the file starts with <code>%PDF-</code> || PDF viewer, see below<br />
|-<br />
| Text || Valid UTF-8 and no zero bytes in the first 8 KB || Read-only text editor, see below<br />
|-<br />
| Anything else || || <code>Binary file · &lt;size&gt;</code><br />
|}<br />
<br />
The preview never changes the archive. To edit a file, use ''Open in editor''. See [[StudioZip:Editing Archives|Editing Archives]].<br />
<br />
== Text files ==<br />
Text is shown in Monaco, the editor engine that VS Code itself uses, bundled into the extension. The editor in the preview is read-only.<br />
* Syntax highlighting, chosen from the file extension or name (for example <code>.java</code>, <code>.json</code>, <code>.py</code>, <code>Dockerfile</code>, <code>MANIFEST.MF</code>). Unknown types are shown as plain text.<br />
* Code folding, the find widget (<code>Ctrl+F</code>) and a minimap.<br />
* Light or dark colors to match the current VS Code theme. The colors change when you switch the theme.<br />
<br />
There is no IntelliSense, no error checking and no link detection in the preview. Open the file in an editor tab to get the language features of VS Code.<br />
<br />
== Images ==<br />
Images are shown at their own size. Images wider than the pane are scaled down to fit its width. Scaled images are not smoothed, so pixel art stays sharp.<br />
<br />
== PDF files ==<br />
PDF files are rendered with pdf.js, bundled into the extension. It works offline.<br />
* A toolbar shows the current page and the zoom level.<br />
* ''Zoom out'' and ''Zoom in'' step through 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 200, 300 and 400 %.<br />
* ''Fit width'' scales the pages to the width of the pane. This is the default. It follows when the pane is resized.<br />
* Pages are rendered only near the visible area, so long documents stay fast.<br />
* The text in a PDF cannot be selected.<br />
<br />
== Large files ==<br />
Files larger than <code>studioZip.preview.maxFileSizeBytes</code> (default 5 MB) are not loaded automatically. The pane shows a message such as <code>12.0 MB exceeds the 5.0 MB preview limit.</code> and a ''Show anyway'' button. Click it to load the file.<br />
<br />
The size check uses the uncompressed size and happens before anything is unpacked. Set the value to <code>0</code> to turn the limit off. See [[StudioZip:Commands and Settings|Commands and Settings]].<br />
<br />
== Encrypted files ==<br />
Encrypted files are not previewed. The pane shows <code>This entry is encrypted.</code> To read an encrypted ZIP entry, use ''Open in editor'' or ''Extract…''. Studio ZIP then asks for the password. See [[StudioZip:Supported Formats#Encrypted archives|Encrypted archives]].<br />
<br />
== Errors ==<br />
If a file cannot be read, the pane shows the error message in place of the preview, for example when the archive is damaged.<br />
