Hello Paco,

As I mentioned in the initial message this is an experimental viewer.
There are a lot of missing features or non completely working stuff.
I even don't know if I will continue developing it.

- I cannot see clearly how to flip pages, and/or the "Go to Page" menu entry doesn't work in my device.
The open dialog is the one included by default by IREX people.
There is a plan to write a new one, but it is not a priority now.
As a workaround, you can use the method Mackx mentioned a few messages above for DR1000 devices.

To change pages, use the bar. 5 pages if long press.
"Goto page" hasn't been implemented yet.

It's possible that DR got into suspend mode before opening big files or rendering pages with lot of graphics. Mackx proposed a solution I will add eventually.

Anyway think that this "experiment" uses poppler library, slower than Acrobat SDK.
Moreover, the poppler library version is 0.10.7, ~2 years old, but we can't use newer versions because it would need to substitute most of DR firmware (glib, pango, cairo, gtk+ libraries).

Sorry, can't understand this part. Which diff package?

EDIT: oh, I forgot that .diff file.
You don't have to do anything with it, it contains some modifications by IREX people to an older poppler version.



Anyway I really appreciate the feedback, of course.

Kind regards,
Iņigo
