SDLread v0.9
============

A very basic text reader using SDL and bitmap fonts.

Up/Down = Page Up / Page Down
Select = Exit
A = Toggle Little Font / Big Font

Why version 0.9? Because it's not very good. It's just for reading 'readme' kind of files.

NOTE: You need to install it in your dmenu with the 'selector' property set to 'yes' so that
you can select a text file to pass through to the program.

e.g.
MenuItem Read
{
Icon = "res/system.png"
Name = " Read"
Executable = "./sdlread"
WorkDir = "/usr/local/apps/read"
Selector = yes
}

Seems like a great useful app to me. Do you have a screenshot? Would be interesting to see the different fonts/fontsizes.

[edit] Thanks for the screenshots!

Could we use this to open help files?
With the new submenu's of dmenu we could add this app with the help file.
Would be handy with the controls.

As long as the help file is a simple text file then it should work fine. You simply call it passing the path of the file on the command line.

I think it's a great app for viewing reminders or even your grocery list.

looks like you got yours done before i finished mine XD means one less job for me i spose

This ebook reader support caracters non asc (^, ´, ç) etc ?
thanks.

Is it possible to recompile this great application w/ support for scrolling through text files? In the current version (which I like a lot!) one can only "page up/down".

How about "left = scroll up one line" and "right = scroll down one line"?
Do you need it to repeat? i.e. holding down the right scrolls repeats down.

That would be great!
