Browser extension: AGuide Viewer 0.1
AGuide Viewer is an open source reader for AmigaGuide documents implemented as a browser extension. It works with Firefox and Chromium on all platforms.
Under Firefox the installation takes place automatically with the corresponding consent. For Chromium, unpack the file aguide-0.1.xpi into a folder. In Chromium, go to "Extensions" > "Manage Extensions" and activate the developer mode there. Then select the previously created folder using "Load unpacked extension".
The extension automatically recognises files that have a .guide file name extension or begin with the '@database' sequence. AmigaGuide documents downloaded from the internet are automatically rendered in the browser. Viewing local files is also supported by starting the AGuide Viewer by clicking on the AGV icon in the browser toolbar. The user interface is similar to that of AmigaGuide or MultiView.
As Firefox blocks direct links to local files in the extension, the author recommends opening such a link in an AmigaGuide document by using the right mouse button and "Link in new tab".
The author plans to submit future versions to the Chrome Store for signing, which will simplify installation on Chrome/Chromium. Since Mozilla's signing process is somewhat simpler and it is the author's preferred browser, he had focused on it with the first version of the AGuide Viewer.
