Preview html file

Post by houaiss »

I'm used to archive news using a chrome extension called SingleFile. This extension saves a webpage in one html file. When I try to preview this html file in everything nothing shows up.

Is it possible to enable the preview of this kind of file in everything? any specific handler or plug in that I need to install? I tried searching for a solution but didn't find anything.

I'm attaching one said html file as example (the file is in a zip because the extension wasn't accepted).

Any help would be much appreciated! :)

<!DOCTYPE html> <html data-sfz>
Can Chrome open that .html file?
Can Chrome open that .html file if you disable the SingleFile extension?

It looks like something is wrong with this specific file. Explorer and other file managers don't show a preview of it either.
I do have the SingleFile extension installed too (albeit in FireFox) and the generated html files can be previewed without any issues.

Are previews shown in File Explorer?
If this happens with all your SingleFile htmls, consider re configuring or re-installing it.

On second thought ... the file/foldername might be too long. Shorten it and see if that helps.

With a shortened filename:
(BTW: You installed SingleFileZ, a fork of the original SingleFile)

The Chrome can only open the file I sent if the SingleFile extension is enable.

I used the single file extension on Firefox with default configuration and I didn't got to preview anything with the file that it was created. I tried renaming it to a short name too but nothing. I wish I could preview those files... You can really preview the html files that SingleFile creates? you can preview in everything and in the file explorer? :o
