ok, so v0.2 has config options for wordwrap and textfile, and a cool icon.
the end.

if anyone has any bugs/feature requests, lemme know.

Re: [Announce] qtbigtext- large text viewer
 
wolke, I had this one bug in the previous versions but haven't been able to replicate it yet...

For example i typed via the python method "abc" instead of opening the window, i get a new line in terminal with ">"

In this ">" line i type anything, nothing appears but when i type the whole python command wih "abc" a new windows appears with the first "abc", all the stuff i typed after that and lastly the whole last command i typed...

Closing the window and waiting around 1min before typing the python command again would fix it...

I wonder why it would occur...

Re: [Announce] qtbigtext- large text viewer
 
its waiting on stding for some reason. perhaps your input was not a terminal?

I only use it via SSH...Quiting and repeating after 1min made it work well...

It must just be a system bug or maybe due to "undue stress" caused by my frequent opening and closing it :p

:(
could be a real bug; there is no simple way of doing non-blocking i/o in python.
os.read() doesnt block for me, but it doesnt make guarantees.

do let me know if it comes up again, til then ill pretend it didnt happen.

Re: [Announce] qtbigtext- large text viewer
 
i only use it on ssh as well, with another script i call bigtext.

which makes me think of a feature i want! using stdin properly, or communicating via dbus or something, and having it QUICKLY show new text instead of taking 2 whole seconds.

Re: [Announce] qtbigtext- large text viewer
 
bigtext ~/somefile
bigtext hey
bigtext

Code:
#!/bin/bash
source /etc/profile
pkill -f .*qtbigtext.py.*
if [ "$1" == "-k" ]; then
  exit 0
fi
if [ "$#" -eq "1" ] && [ -e $1 ]; then
  exec cat "$1" | /opt/qtbigtext/qtbigtext.py 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null &
else
  exec /opt/qtbigtext/qtbigtext.py "$@" 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null &
fi

Re: [Announce] qtbigtext- large text viewer
 
brilliant works much better ;)

My ssh window too is now not made to be unavailable thanks to this...

This way is much easier to use it too! Thanks!

Re: [Announce] qtbigtext- large text viewer
 
wolke, I managed to force the bug to appear :p

Its really not an issue...If you want to see how i forced it see here


Edit: I don't think we can call it a bug but more like an user-inflicted issue?

Re: [Announce] qtbigtext- large text viewer

Any ideas how to wake up the device when qtbigtext.py runs?

Here's a modified bigtext script with probably the most useless --help and no added functionality whatsoever :)
Code:
#!/bin/sh

pkill -f .*qtbigtext.py.*
if [ "$1" == "-k" ]; then
        exit 0
fi
if [ "$1" == "--help" ]; then
        echo -e "Usage: `basename $0` [TEXT OR FILE]"
        echo -e "Display text as large as possible, with all the text fitting."
        echo -e ""
        echo -e "Options:"
        echo -e "  -k                kill qtbigtext process and exit"
        echo -e "  --help        display this help and exit"
        echo -e ""
        echo -e "If no arguments are given, display text in ~/MyDocs/qtbigtext.txt"
        echo -e "Configuration file is at ~/.config/qtbigtext.conf"
        exit 0
fi
if [ "$#" -eq "1" ] && [ -e "$1" ]; then
        cat "$1" | /opt/qtbigtext/qtbigtext.py > /dev/null 2>&1 &
else
        /opt/qtbigtext/qtbigtext.py "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1 &
fi
Also using accented charachters doesn't work (utf-8)?
