RepView

RepView is a small, yet efficient utility whose main purpose is to load Delphi Quick Report files, which can be managed from within the application with the utmost ease.

RepView was designed to handle files in QRP format exclusively. It comes as a more agreeable way of analyzing the contents of such containers without putting much effort into it.

One of the most popular ways of viewing QRP files is to drop the TQuickRep component on the desired form and make use of the Quick Reports toolbar to load its contents during project execution. However, this is an approach oriented towards advanced users and requires the presence of Quick Reports, whereas RepView excludes dependencies of any sort.

RepView is wrapped inside a lightweight package and does not pose significant issues during setup, except for the part where it proposes a set of third-party applications that are not related to the program’s functionality. The best course of action is to decline this offer.

The main window of the program is extremely basic and cannot be resized to larger dimensions, but can be maximized. Many of its functions become visible only after you load a QRP file and these include (aside viewing), printing and exporting the contents to other formats such as XLS, PDF, WMF and so on.

Despite accomplishing its purpose, RepView lacks in many aspects. A better user interface, coupled with more extensive management options, including richer support for export formats could make it a little bit more appealing.
