txtView

This script shows the text files from the same directory of a song which makes it mostly useful for checking the information contained in an album directory.

When starting up the script, you can right click on a song in your playlist and select "txtView > Open". This will popup the dialog.

Within the dialog you can show the files through the menu and open them with your favorite application. For example you can edit them with GVIM or open an M3U/PLS file in XMMS ;) Note: the run dialog doesn't let you pass arguments to the apps, so opening the file with vi in a terminal is not possible.

If you are looking for the font Lucida Console P, get into your ~/.fonts directory and wget http://home.online.no/~aageli/luconP.ttf

- Option Wrap/No Wrap and Fixed/non fixed chars in the menu
- Using the built-in functions from Python unlike the QDir/file/etc...
- Open With ... in /usr/bin by default
- Use of mimetypes + filename to guess whatever it is a text file or not (I tried magic, but my first note was that it created a new dependence and second.. it didn't do well the job, my default /etc/magic file was empty, at the opposite mimetypes is builtin and does a good job)
