Loper · File formats
Here is what your files look like in Loper, rendered with the same colors the app uses. From .env and Markdown to EDLs, LUTs, checksum lists, subtitles, EPG guides and G-code: keys, values, timecodes and parameters each get their own color, so you find what you are looking for at a glance.
Config, docs and source files you want to check in a second without starting an IDE.
