It means it's not been put into one of the pre-approved application manager sections, so it won't show up correctly in the application manager.

I've addressed that. This message should go away in half hour or so.

I updated the first post, you can romve OS2008 from the title, let me know if I can make a better change.

I appreciate that but direct links to install apps in Fremantle Extras-devel is not appropriate. The users are supposed to manually enable the repo if they want to install something, so they are aware that it's something "risky". When the app has been tested and shows up in Extras, you can point the install link there and i'll make the change to the title.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

hi Maxkiva,

thanks for the great work. Your version installs fine.
The problem now is that pictures are not displayed at all, just a placeholder icon.
Karatchovs version, although not fully compatible did show pictures in all files.

Correction: pictures are shown, but only in smaller files. This file is 500 mb and did work fine on Karatchovs version...

Some suggestions:
- Search would be nice
- also zoom in the index view would be nice
- an option to set something like favourite files, would also be nice.

keep up the good work!

maxkiva, could you please consider getting rid of the zoom buttons on the toolbar and allowing for the volume keys to be used instead?

Thanks for trying it out !

I did notice the image problem from teh beginning although it worked for some files which made me to shift it at the bottom of the things to do.

I've uploaded fresh revision which fixes that. Please take a look .

I'll be looking at the other suggestions as well.

thanks again

Hi
thanks for your comments,
From the outset I was trying to emulate look and feel of pdf reader that ships with the phone. Thats has zoom through both toolbar and the volume buttons.

I will most certainly add zooming through the buttons as probably one of the high priority things. However I'd be inclined to keep zoom on the toolbar as well for the uniformity reasons .

Hi Maxkiva,

pictures work now. Great!! Thank you.

Now several suggestions more.
- scroll by page with: cursorkey up/down, or even with left/right. or spacebar (like webbrowser).
- Karatchovs version allowed for searches. the only problem was that with large files it took quite some time to create the search database. Perhaps there is a fast workaround. You could add an option to save the created search database as a seperate file in the same directory as the source chm file. Creation of the search database is then only required the first time, but after that this file is loaded whenever the search function is called upon with that chm file.
- also incremental search in the index would be great.

if I think of anything else I will let you know.

Keep up the good work!!
