I, as Enlightenment's user, feel lacking of some programs, that
consider essential for a normal user.
In the top of the list, I can say that we need of a{pdf,image} viewer.
I don't know if the most active devs prefer one program to see pdf and
one program to see image, like evince[0] and gthumb[1] (I think that
ephoto can be compared with gthumb).
Or a more generic program like Okular[3].
I'll wait for the answers and start the development (in my free time,
of course) of this software (or, at least, of the skeleton).
I answer after having read all the thread about that.
I have written epdf, eps and edvi having in mind writing a framework (a
lib) that would open a document with the corresponding library.
So exposing a module system (with eina_module) which would open a .so
based on the extension of the file, for example (if not succedding, trying
all the available modules). That is, exactly what evas does with its
modules.
That is why the API of the 3 libs above are quite close (almost the same).
There is now 2 possibilities : we use them, or we write the modules based
on their code.
So before writing a document viewer, I would like such framework being
written.
Btw, Amitav has begun an rtf lib that can be added as module.
Also other doc format can be added: txt (should be easy with textblock)
and djvu.
