Hi there,

this simple Script is able to browse your Devices and open a supported Text-File, which you can read.

 

Script:

Icon: icon.png.b5a89ceab8044cdfc295830cb9b21111.png

Name: Text Viewer

Description: "Read a plain Text File"

 

What it does:

- Provides you a fully working Filebrowser with Menu-System

- Opens a File, if it's a Textfile in a Gizmo Scene, so you can read it on your TV via console.

...

Why did i create this?:

- For Fun, testing some skills, and finding out, if it's possible with scripting only.

- I didn't want to wait for the Filebrowser to support Reading FIles. (There must be a Feature Request somewhere)

- There are some little benefits

...

 

What are the benefits?:

- Read Text Files directly on your Console, these can be Changelogs or Readme Files of software, like Aurora or Emulators.

- Also read Configuration Files

- Check the Content of those Files directly on console, if it's correct. You don't need to transfer to USB or via FTP to your console. First look if you have to, so you can be sure, everything is alright.

- Possible better Support through community. ("Take Screenshot of the log/ini file, if you don't know how to use FTP, then transfer it via WebGUI, like you always do")

...

 

Is it final?:

It's tested and stable. But wanted to do more later, like a "recent files" Menu or something like that. Also a larger Gizmo-Scene would be a benefit.

Anyone who wants to contribute, can report Bugs, Suggest Features/Fixes or extend by using GitHub or this Thread.

...

 

Where is the download?:

You can download it directly to your console via Aurora Repo Browser.

Someone with 4GB Corona should test it. I only have Trinity right now.

HDD, USB and Onboard works fine for me.

Nice script. Should be useful. A lot of game walkthroughs come in txt format so now it's possible to stick them in a folder for easy access on the console. No running off to the pc when you get stuck in a game.

If it ever worked via the hud, when a game was running, it would be the cherry on the icing on top of the cake.
