So theoretically replacing Clutter with a GTK drawable + pixmap and using Maemo 4 only widgets might work.
But I have no Maemo 4 device + I already have my plate quite full.

If somebody want's to work on Maemo 4 support, the code is all there and I can give you pointers what exactly might need to be replaced.

This on a 4.13" n810 would be awesome

thank you, love the app so far been reading on my n900 a lot since intalling this. not sure how you're going to implement onscreen buttons but maybe a small transparent arrow down the middle of the screen that pulls up navigation buttons once pressed? im mostly fine with using the volume button to turn pages but if there's a way to completely navigate using gestures or touch screen buttons that would be nicer

Zip, RAR, TAR + folders as "containers" and png, jpeg, bmp, gif, tiff and xpm should be supported as image formats.
Container type is detected using magic numbers, images are identified based on extension (as there might be a few hundred of them in a container, so checking their magic numbers would be too slow).
Support for more container & image formats can be added, if technically feasible.

.

does that mean if i put all of my pics in an rar or zip file and this app can open them as a pdf or smething like this??

if yes i will install it today thanks! in advace

It means, you can put pictures numbered like 1..n into one zip archive, and they will be handled like a comic book starting with pic #1 and ending at #n.
Also most comic book formats are already like this (cbr, cbz), scanlations too (mostly rar and zip), so you simply put them on the N900 and enjoy.

MartinK, since I don't see a shortcut appearing, please include a mieru.desktop file in /usr/share/applications/hildon and place a copy of mieru.png in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable.

This would be mieru.desktop:

Code:

[Desktop Entry] 
Version=1.0 
Encoding=UTF-8 
Name=Mieru 
Icon=mieru 
Exec=/usr/bin/mieru 
Type=Application

Sorry, I must've not seen that.
I'll blame Catorise for this.

in my opinion > it is hard to toggle page by pressing vol. key while keyboard is open,

can you replace the key (page toggle vol key) in next ver..if yo think the same?
