New in the SumatraPDF pre-release builds:
Extract Text From Document
New
Extract Text From Document command (CmdDocumentExtractText) in the Ctrl + k command palette saves the text of a document’s pages to a .txt file.Better comic book archive support (libarchive)
Comic book archives (.cbz, .cbr, .cb7, .cbt) are now read with libarchive, which adds support for more archive variants, including bzip2 compression. RAR archives are opened with libarchive first, falling back to unrar.dll.
DDE Open can reuse the current tab
The
[Open] DDE command now honors its inCurrentTab flag: setting it to 1 opens the file in the current tab instead of a new one (#4079).EPUB file list in Properties
Document Properties (
Ctrl + D) for EPUB files now shows the list of files inside the book.
Own Explorer icons for CHM and DjVu
The installer registers distinct File Explorer icons for .chm and .djvu files, so they no longer look like PDFs.
