pbimageviewer is a PocketBook Inkview application for
viewing images.  The images can be collected in a
directory/folder, or can be archived within a
zip/cbz, rar/cbr, or tar* file.

pbimageviewer.app-Pro-360+ is for use with the PocketBook Pro
and 360+ models, and pbimageviewer.app-3XX is for the older
3XX models.  pbimageviewer.app-fwv5 is for use with firmware
version 5 devices.  Copy the file to the system/bin and also the
applications directory, and rename it to pbimageviewer.app in
all cases.

To look at images collected in a directory, open the Application
tab and select pbimageviewer from there (if you copied the app
file to the applications directory).  Use the Directory Selection
dialog to choose the directory with the images.

To get access to zip/cbz, rar/cbr and tar* files in the
Library tab, edit system/config/extensions.cfg to
include the new extensions:

tar:@TAR_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG
tar.gz:@TAR_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG
tgz:@TAR_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG
tar.bz2:@TAR_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG
tbz2:@TAR_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG
zip:@ZIP_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG
cbz:@ZIP_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG
rar:@RAR_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG
cbr:@RAR_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG

(Note that .zip files don't seem to show up in the
Library tab even when the line above is added to the
config file.  So, just rename .zip files to .cbz files.

Also note that if you have Profiles enabled on your reader,
the config file is located at system/profiles/default/config/
if you use the "default" profile.)


To read CB7 files (compressed using 7zip), you need to install
the 7z.so file to /system/bin/ (the same place where pbimageviewer.app
was installed), and then add the following lines to extensions.cfg:

7z:@ZIP_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG
cb7:@ZIP_file:1:pbimageviewer.app:ICON_JPG


Finally, older devices have their capabilities hard-coded into
the program, but with new devices coming out steadily, the
program was modified to accept configuration files for new
models.  This way, a new device can be made to work without
needing a new version of the application to be built.  If you
have a recent device, then download device_capabilities/device_cfg.zip
and unzip it into the internal memory.  It will copy device
configuration files for newer devices to the system/share/pbiv/
directory.  If you have a device for which there is no configuration
file, then create a new one based on the README.TXT and default.cfg
files in the zip archive.  The new configuration file should be
named using the model number of the device.  For example, the
configuration file for the Inkpad 840 is named 840.cfg.



The source code for the pbimageviewer program is available
in the pbimageviewer-src.zip file.  The code is meant to
be built using Sergey Vlasov's <vlasovsoft@mail.ru> version
of the PocketBook SDK.  The latest version of pbimageviewer
uses libzip and libunrar to unpack archives, so those libraries
and header files must be available in your build system to
compile and link pbimageviewer.  You can get the source code
for the libraries, as well as prebuilt copies from
http://www3.telus.net/rkomar/pbimageviewer/libs/.

The source code was derived from Michail Polubisok's
excellent pbimageviewer project.  The original source
code can be got at: http://code.google.com/p/pbimageviewer/.
Hopefully, these changes will make there way back to
Michail's source repository in some form.
