PDFviewer - pan left right in landscape

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Woah ho, PDF viewer is great. In landscape mode, I can view PDFs with reflow 
problems comfortably. 

Just one niggling issue though, it would be great if the buttons on both sides 
of the Nook are utilised like how B&N allocates them in the web browser to pan 
left and right for the left side buttons and up and down for the right side 
buttons.

Currently, I cannot find a way to scroll left and right in landscape view, or 
in portrait view for that matter.

You can move left/right by shipping on the black strip between screens. But 
don't touch close to the home button.

Boy I didn't realise the strip was not just a piece of plastic! Gosh, thanks! 

Hari, is there any way I could change the size of the icons in Trook and 
Filemanager? To resemble a "list view" instead of a "thumbnail view". I think 3 
or 4 columns of 4 rows of (icon + filename) would be quite ideal, in terms of 
having to scroll less?

I meant swipe btw.
I can modify the file manager code to do this. Haven't looked at the Trook code 
in a while. But  craftycoder might be able to help, since he changed Trook 
recently.

Thanks for even looking into it. That's awesome.

Here is the filemanager app with vertical listview. I had to change some of the 
code as well. So, it's not configurable & won't be able to switch back & forth.

I haven't tested it much. Take a look and see if it works ok. I'll add it in 
the downloads section later this week.

Thanks!

May I offer a few humble suggestions.

1) Currently, the File Manager sorts files and folders by alphabetical order. 
Depending on the folder name, some folders end up in the middle of the list 
(http://www.box.net/shared/d8zea9zm3c). Folders could be excluded from this 
sort and be listed at the top of the list as in Windows Explorer.

2) I think horizontal scrolling would take better advantage of the rectangular 
shape of the LCD screen in allowing a 4 columns of icons on the screen. For 
each swipe, users would be able to go through up to 16 files. I also propose to 
eliminate the display of the file size altogether. Here's a graphical 
illustration of how it could look like - http://www.box.net/shared/kl1u2iuavd

Best regards,
Jay

That requires more code changes & the filenames are not going to be short all 
the time. This view will not look correct in that case.

I think the vertical scrolling is a bit better than the old one. craftycoder 
told me he is working on a fileman app that has a similar GUI to the nookMedia 
app. We should probably wait for that instead of making too many changes in 
here.

Hari, I am going on vacation so don't expect a 24 hour turn around like with 
nookMedia. ;^)

I personally prefers the newer implementation of file manager, just it's a bit 
waste space for only one column as mentioned by redgoldblibberinghumdinger. 
BTW, is using e-ink screen to display files ever considered?
