[Sugar-devel] Read Activity question (single page view)

[Gary C Martin]

Hi Sayamindu,

Saw some of your Read roadmap items today, and just wanted to ping and  
ask how viable you think it would be for Read to support a single page  
by page view for PDFs (rather than current continuous scrolling mode)?

I've been thinking it would be better for memory consumption  
(continuous scrolling has to have both pages rendered in memory as you  
scroll over page boundaries), and also would be better for page by  
page reading for many books, presentations (Sameer Verma mentioned  
this in an IAEP mail today), and I'm working on some pdf materials  
like the old adventure book stories, where you traverse different  
pages in a non-linear way (works a bit like a point and click  
adventure/escape-the-room type thing).

Does evince support single page render mode?

If you think it's viable, but don't have the time yourself, let me  
know and I'll see if I can get something working here (never used  
evince myself so wanted to check with you first before I head off down  
a blind alley).

Regards,
--Gary
