Viewer for NFO files

Overview

NFO Viewer

Test Packages Flathub Gitter

NFO Viewer is a simple viewer for NFO files, which are "ASCII" art in the CP437 codepage. The advantages of using NFO Viewer instead of a text editor are preset font and encoding settings, automatic window size and clickable hyperlinks.

Installing

Linux

Packages

NFO Viewer is packaged for most of the popular distros, so easiest is to install via your distro's package management. If not packaged for your distro or you need a newer version than packaged, read below on how to install from Flatpak or the source code.

Flatpak

Stable releases are available via Flathub.

The development version can be installed by running command make install under the flatpak directory. You need make, flatpak-builder and gettext to build the Flatpak.

Source

NFO Viewer requires Python ≥ 3.2, PyGObject ≥ 3.0.0 and GTK ≥ 3.12. You also need a font that supports the kinds of glyphs commonly used in NFO files: Cascadia Code is a good choice and used by NFO Viewer by default, if available. During installation you will also need gettext. On Debian/Ubuntu you can install these with the following command.

sudo apt install fonts-cascadia-code \
                 gettext \
                 gir1.2-gtk-3.0 \
                 python3 \
                 python3-gi

Then, to install NFO Viewer, run command

sudo python3 setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local

Windows

Windows installers are built irregularly, see releases.

  • Can't run it anymore (ModuleNotFoundError).

    Can't run it anymore (ModuleNotFoundError).

    Starting today, I can't run it anymore. I'm getting this error message:

    >nfoview
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/local/bin/nfoview", line 16, in <module>
    import nfoview
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'nfoview'

    It happened today, after Python upgrade (through repositories). I'm at PCLinux.

    >python3 -V
    Python 3.10.6

    NFOView latest version from here (NOT the repo version).

    Extended ASCII (ISO/IEC 8859-1 / CP819) support

    Thanks for an awesome .NFO/.DIZ viewer! I use it everyday and reminisce about old times. Do you plan to add extended ASCII as a possible enhancement someday?

  • Homepage link in

    Homepage link in "About" box, is broken (Windows).

    V1.23 installed on Win 10 x64 v.10.0.15063. Workaround: Right click -> "Copy Link Address" -> paste in browser.

    Sidequestion: 32-bit apps aren't so stable on 64 Windows. Is it possible to compile it as native 64 app? How?

    appstream 'mimetypes' tag is deprecated

    The toplevel mimetypes tag (used in io.otsaloma.nfoview.appdata.xml) is deprecated in favour of mediatype tags in a provides block to indicate that your software provides a media handler for the given types.

    Sort .po input file list

    Sort .po input file list so that nfoview.desktop and nfoview.appdata.xml builds in a reproducible way in spite of indeterministic filesystem readdir order and http://bugs.python.org/issue30461

    See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this is good.

    I thought, I had tested that #13 fixed all of it, but there was still variation in nfoview.appdata.xml now that went away with this patch.
