BrowseContent

Author: HanishKVC Version: v20200515IST1022

General

Allow one to browse through file directories and view content files like Videos, PDFs, Html, etc within the application.

It maintains info as to which was the last file viewed/played in that session and inturn the same is saved into a hidden file at the base directory passed to the program when it was started. So if next time the user passes the same base directory path to the program, then it will automatically cd into the last viewed files directory and highlight the last played file.

Dependencies

This uses

  • Python3
  • GTK3
  • Webkit2 library
    • GStreamer and its plugins
  • Evince library

The above is based on its default configuration.

If one configures the code to use external viewers, then one requires to install the needed programs, as will be triggered by xdg-open, if one were to ask it to play/view/open a given content.

TODO

Have to pick the list of extensions to skip from file/dir listing shown by prg, from a config file

Urge for creating / Scratch the Itch

I had a need to go through sequenced course contents which I had on my machine, in a structured manner when required. So created this program.

By sequenced what I mean is that the sub directories and files within them are numbered/named so that if one sorts the contents based on their name, it is in the required sequence in which one needs to go through them.

About
