I'm pleased to announce the availability of Azure Storage Explorer version 2.0. binaries and source code are downloadable from CodePlex.Azure Storage Explorer is a useful GUI tool for inspecting the data in your Azure cloud storage projects including the logs of your cloud-hosted applications. All three types of cloud storage can be viewed: blobs, queues, and tables.What's New?Improvements over the original version include the following:1. New WPF-based UI with Outlook-style navigation and more polish.2. Support for multiple storage projects, and the ability to configure projects directly in the tool instead of forcing you to edit the configuration file.3. Ability to view pictures in blob storage as images.Viewing Blob Containers and ItemsYou can see what your blob containers are, the items in each container, and view the contents of individual blob items.Blob items can be viewed as text, bytes, or images.Viewing Queues and MessagesYou can see what your queues are, list up to 32 peeked messages from each queue, and view the contents of individual queue messages. Queue messages can be viewed as text or bytes.Viewing Tables and EntitiesYou can see what your tables are, list the entities in each table, and view the contents of an individual entity as text, bytes, or entity properties.View Your Application LogsSince Azure hosted application logs are copied to cloud storage, Azure Storage Explorer is a convenient way to view your logs.Work with Multiple AccountsYou can work with up to 10 storage projects in Azure Storage Explorer, including your local developer storage. Endpoints, account names, and keys can be specified in the tool's configuration file or you can configure them directly in the tool as shown below (administrator privileges are needed to save changes).Limitations and Future PlansAzure Storage Explorer 2.0 does not presently allow you to act on storage items or import/export data to and from cloud storage. These capabilities are being considered for the future.A Community Donation from NeudesicAzure Storage Explorer is a community donation by Neudesic, a Microsoft Gold Partner and National Systems Integrator.http://www.neudesic.com
