hello
consider "Windows Picture Viewer"
it opens the image files inside a folder and browses throught them by hitting ENTER
hitting DELETE deletes the currently viewed file
is there a program to do this for TXT files?

Nope, xnview doesn't seem to be able to open text files. It can show them in the browser, but if you try to open one you get an unknown format error.
Delete, yes

I remember the ability to view text files has been removed due to some issue.

Clo- True, but unless you set the thumbnail size extremely high, you can't READ the text file to know whether or not you want to delete it.
Xnview's evil competitor irf~ can read, browse, and delete text files like colore wants.

Hello !
• But I see and read the file contents in the
preview I can enlarge enough!
- As long as it's a plaint text *.txt format (not unsupported Unicode¦UTF8…) there is no problem, and I don't need to edit the file elsewhere to know whether I delete it or not, that seems the point here, except I mistake…

Hmm... it does open in the preview pane... Weird.
It's slightly different than what colore was looking for, but pretty close. It should work for his needs.

There's some bad blood between the 2 programmers, I don't think pierre would appreciate anyone posting a link to it here. Click the "you have [X] messages" link at the top of the page.
btw If you open xnview's browser & navigate to the folder with the txt files, you can read them in the preview pane & use the arrow keys to move to the next one, or the DEL key to delete the current one.

thank you very much
by the way, Speedreader is very buggy, I cannot even go to the folder of the text files easily...
