In old firmwares can be seen how string viewer was loaded

<div style="float:right">[[File:String viewer usb error.jpg|400px|thumb|left|String Viewer error]]</div>
When adding this entry in a modern firmware and clicking in the icon, appears an error message asking for '''strviewer_cnf''' in dev_usb000
<br style="clear: both;" />
The file in path '''usb000/strviewer/strviewer_cnf''' needs to follow this format:
{{Boxcode|code=<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">Title = "Strviwer Pwned" path = "/strviewer/" file = "working_example"</syntaxhighlight>}}
And the loaded xml seems to be using the format inherited from the '''dev_flash/vsh/resource/silk/xai/widgets/informationboard/strings/[[Widgets#dev_flash.2Fvsh.2Fresource.2Fsilk.2Fxai.2Fwidgets.2Finformationboard.2Fstrings.2F|infob_<language>.xml]]''' where is required to follow this format:
{{Boxcode|code=<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<str id="msg_dtype_C">Lorem ipsum...</str><!--dtype="C"-->
<str id="msg_dtype_E">Lorem ipsum...</str><!--dtype="E"-->
<str id="msg_dtype_W">Lorem ipsum...</str><!--dtype="W"-->
<str id="msg_dtype_R">Lorem ipsum...</str><!--dtype="R"-->
<str id="msg_dtype_T">Lorem ipsum...</str><!--dtype="T"-->
<str id="msg_dtype_N">This is a notification</str><!--dtype="N"-->
<str id="msg_dtype_G">This is a botton notification </str><!--dtype="G"-->
<str id="msg_dtype_I">This simple text was automatically repeated several times and also added many asterisks of its own</str<!--dtype="I"-->
</syntaxhighlight>}}
The valid values for the <nowiki><!--dtype="C"--></nowiki> (C,E,W,R,T,N,G,I) are hardcoded inside strviewer_plugin.sprx
