hi,

inspired by Jirka's blog post

http://jirkasnotes.wordpress.com/2012/01/31/nanonote-selecting-of-pdf-file-for-viewing/

I just implemented a simple graphical file selector that can be used to
run programs like 'mplayer', that don't have a proper Gui, from gmenu2x.
This uses the Allegro game library which makes it very small (8k
executable!) and fast, but not too pretty :).  Here's a screen shot:

Title, background image and file extension+permission filters can be
controlled via the command line.  Just run 'alfilesel --help' for
details.  Package (alfilesel_0.1.0-2_xburst.ipk) is available here:

needs packages liballegro, liballegro-png and liballegro-jpeg to be
installed.

Currently it just prints the selected filename to stdout and exits with
code 1 if cancel is pressed.  Might later add an option to directly run
programs with the selected file as argument.

cheers,

David
