Other viewer - If you have associated this file type with an external application, that application is listed here. If you have made no association or associated the file type with SmartPlant Markup Plus, then the standard application for the selected file type appears here.

File name prefix - Use this field for optional parameters instead of, or in addition to, the Command-line parameters edit box when you choose an application that does not allow spaces between the command-line parameters and file name. This parameter is attached as a prefix to the file name without any spaces as shown below:
[ApplicationName] [OptionalParameters] [FileNamePrefix][FileName]
Create a new window for viewing - Indicates whether a new window will be opened to display the new file.
