Need Zoomable Picture Viewer for T5

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

This is directed mainly to those of you who have a Tungsten T5 Palm
Pilot. The media viewer which comes with the T5 does not have a
picture zoom option. I would like to have a viewer which has the zoom
in and zoom out option.

I purchased a program titled "Simple View" which accomplishes this,
although it's kind of buggy. When the picture first comes up, the
keyboard icons are "stuck" to the picture. You have to zoom out first
to remove the icons, then zoom back in -- kind of a hassle. Also, when
you pan around the picture, sometimes little pieces of the keyboard
icons appear on the picture. Very annoying.

Also, the picture files cannot be moved to my expansion SD card -- they
have to reside in the Internal memory, I guess. I have a 1.0 GB SD
card and I want to use it to store my media files on.

So, I'm looking for another media viewer (jpgs primarily), which has a
zoom feature, and can be used to view pictures which are filed either
in the T5's internal memory or on the expansion card.

Thanks.

Penster, thanks very much for the recommendation. I downloaded the
basic version of the program, installed it on my T5 and it works great.
It has everything I have been looking for in a viewer. It pans and
zooms very smoothly. It's perfect.

One more question. Is there a way to make this viewer my main viewing
program in the "files associations"? When I highlight an image file
from the files listing, and click on the "open with" menu option, the
only viewer which shows up is the "Media" view which came with the T5.
Any ideas?

Thanks again for the recommendation.
