When we are browsing and exploring files in the Finder of our Mac computers and we want to check if the one we have selected is really the one we are looking for, we have to open it; if it is an image, it will be opened with Preview, if it is a video file, it will be opened with Quick Time, with VLC or with the corresponding application. In any case, except when we talk about audio files, we must open a new app to check the content, if we have not been able to identify it by the name that we gave it in its day.
XView 2 is a powerful tool that it will save us from having to open new applications to view multimedia content that we have stored on our Mac computers or on any external hard drive, on a network or USB memory, showing them directly in the Finder window. Even if it is compressed files, it will avoid the tedious step of having to decompress them in advance. And now also XView 2 is lowered to the symbolic price 0,99 euros, so it is the perfect occasion to get hold of this application.
View all your multimedia files directly in the Mac Finder with XView 2
XView 2 is a tool that, although it is presented as an application that allows us to browse and play files from the Finder window itself, it also has a lot of interesting functions and features. For example, we can play audio files or video files without unzipping them previously, view our images directly and even find duplicate images or compress them losslessly.
XView 2 a is a complete video player and image browsing tool to directly view images and play video and audio files in archive without decompressing. It also supports lossless photo compression, browsing 3D files, and finding duplicate images.

I bought the application but it shows absolutely nothing directly in the finder window, everything remains the same. The videos that I cannot see in finder are still not seen and need an external app to view them. Or at least I don't know how this application integrates with the finder.
