Hi Mark,
Hope things are going well!
I wanted to suggest a feature for a future version of Araneae. In the Tools and Viewers settings, it would be cool if I could pass an environment variable like {{CURRENT_FILE_NAME_AND_PATH}} (which would output the current file name with an absolute path) in the viewer path as a parameter; I've been doing some Ruby development lately and I would love to be able to point the file at the Ruby compiler or a batch file.

You can actually do something like this with a .bat file. For example, I program in Lua and when I hit F4 I want it to run the current file with the Lua standalone interpreter. So I made a .bat file in the extensions directory (just because) and put this in it:
@echo off
echo %1%
lua %1%
pause
Araneae sends the current file/path as the first argument, so %1% works. Hope this helps!
