AceViewer 3.10 Updates

⚠️Note: starting with v3.10, AceViewer requires annual licensing. Licenses prior to v3.10 may continue to function but are no longer supported.

Save As — export to ACES XML

The headline feature in 3.10 is Save As: AceViewer can now save the loaded applications back out as a valid ACES XML file. Combined with the existing filter and view tooling, this turns AceViewer into a practical tool for extracting subsets of an ACES file.

• Filter the grid down to the applications you want.
• Use File > Save As to write only those applications to a new ACES file.
• All ACES elements — qualifiers, parameters, notes, attributes — are preserved.
• The header and footer are reconstructed with an accurate record count.

Row Source reconstruction

Previously, the Row Source XML viewer pulled directly from the raw text of the source file. Starting in 3.10 the viewer reconstructs the application XML from stored data. Two practical benefits:

• UTF-8 multibyte characters now display correctly (the previous raw-text path was the source of garbled characters in some files).
• The source file handle is released after loading, so the file can be moved or deleted on disk while you continue to view it.

Qualifier and Parameter elements

Qualifier and Parameter elements are now stored and displayed in addition to the Text element. This makes the Row Source viewer a complete picture of the application’s data and ensures qualifiers/parameters round-trip correctly through Save As.

Truncated text indicator

When Word Wrap is off, columns that contain truncated content now show an ellipsis (...) so you can tell at a glance which cells have more content than is visible.
