Unidentified images or binary data

Other binary data

Aside from the supported image formats, SQL Image Viewer can also identify the following binary data formats:
· Adobe Acrobat files  
· MP3 audio files  
· WAV audio files  
· 7zip archives  
· Bzip2 archives  
· Gzip archives  
· Rar archives  
· Zip archives  

There is also experimental support for the following formats:
· Microsoft Excel files  
· Microsoft Powerpoint files  
· Microsoft Word files  

results - files

You can open the file by double clicking on the image, if that file type has a registered viewer in Windows. SQL Image Viewer first saves the binary data to a temporary folder, then calls the Windows default viewer for that file type. You can change the temporary folder location from the Options dialog.

You can also save the binary data to disk, by right clicking on the image, and entering a file name. Note that you can save both recognised and unrecognised binary data.

If SQL Image Viewer does not recognise binary data that it claims to supports, see this topic for troubleshooting options.
