I didn't scroll to see your list of<BR/>ported applications at the bottom of the blog. Very nice. Still, as I said, I think there are lots of new things that could be done. And you might consider compiling all of the the programs into one easy-to-install-or-uninstall package, with a few bugs fixed and some options enabled by default (like, automatically make the registry change to enable FBReader to start from the Contentlister).<BR/><BR/>Very, very nice work.jharkerhttp://iliad.developer.googlepages.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235083946109616481.post-37195064894299758542007-05-20T10:22:00.000-04:002007-05-20T10:22:00.000-04:00I also would like to know what you use for reading html? And do you mean browsing web pages over the network, or simply reading local web pages?<BR/><BR/>I could give you a laundry list of things that could be very useful on the iLiad, including a new ContentLister (although I think rincewind is working on one too), better-featured "notes" program with power management, calendar/appointment program...<BR/><BR/>And really, it would be nice to set things up so that more than one program can be open at once, and we simply switch between them.<BR/><BR/>In other words, now that you've improved functionality, how about improving the UI?<BR/><BR/>But in addition, I'd like to suggest that I would love to use the suite of programs you've ported. I don't know which ones besides the FBReader, though, and I haven't gotten around to combing the forums to assemble them. Why not put all of your programs together into one installer, and call it "Adam's iLiad Power-Up Package" (or something like that)? I already have FBReader, but I'd love to get it all.<BR/><BR/>Lastly, in using FBReader I have noticed a few places in which it seems to hang, or bugs that could be improved. You could open the door for suggestions... Personally I was thinking it might be nice to set up a code server with svn and bugzilla (or make a project on sourceforge) as a central clearinghouse for iLiad ports and programming projects.<BR/><BR/>That's quite a list.... anything strike your fancy?jharkerhttp://iliad.developer.googlepages.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235083946109616481.post-11347177539393112822007-05-10T12:08:00.000-04:002007-05-10T12:08:00.000-04:00As a new user, I have three thoughts:<BR/>First, how can I find out how you accomplished being able to use all those file formats?<BR/>Second, it seems there are several other functions that would work well in the Iliad. For instance, how about a search function to find authors and key words embedded in pdf's and other files? Another need is a more powerful and flexible way to take notes. I currently use Evernote for most notetaking, but I would use the Iliad more if the note application had more features and made it easier to get the notes into other applications. <BR/>Third, how about reading on the Iliad now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
