With File Finder, you can see a list of all files or folders on your PC that match search criteria on the file name. Searches of the entire PC take usually just 1s-3s.

To get that performance, EZReader takes advantage of a free application called Everything that is installed on all EZReader PCs. It's a free application released by a company called "voidtools". The program Everything provides a graphical interface of it's own, but it is not suitable for low vision users. voidtools also releases a command line utility that allows programs like EZReader to take advantage of the fast search capabilities offered by Everything. Thank you voidtools for your generosity!

To get a list of all files or folders meeting search criteria, just press the appropriate "Search" button to get a popup window like this:

Then type in the file/folder name specification (search term) and press Enter. Almost instantly a list of all matching files on the PC will be displayed.

 Main Screen

The Files application has 3 rows of toolbar icons, which perform the following functions:

Row 1 Icons

Row 2 Icons

Row 3 Icons

 Opening Files

When the EZReader variable InternalViewer is set, EZReader will attempt to open files with its own built-in file viewers. Internal viewers are available for text, images, audio and video file types.

For DOCX and PDF files, EZReader extracts and displays only the text

Note that for the protection of users, EZReader will NOT open EXE files.

When InternalViewer is set and the user tries to open a file type EZReader, does not support, then EZReader will attempt to open the file using the PC's default viewer for that file type.

When InternalViewer is not set, EZReader will attempt to open all file type using the PC's default viewer for the file type.

 Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are available within all EZReader applications by pressing F1 or right-clicking on the Exit button.

Thank you for considering EZReader!
