External URIs
Since I have a job I can’t spend as much time in ePDFView as I want, so its development slowed down a lot.
This week end I was able to add support for URI links besides the already supported internal links. In order to do this, I also had to add a new preferences dialog asking to the user which command line to use to execute the web browser when such a link is activated. The default is to use Firefox because I think is the most extended browser in GNU/Linux desktop world.
I really don’t know if this is really a good idea for handhelds users that are using ePDFView since I don’t have any and can’t test it.
I hope next time I write and update is to tell you that I have added printing support as it seems to be the most wanted missing feature.

Well OpenZaurus and Familiar both contain firefox even if its not installed by default. User can always select whichever browser they actually have install as the typical range in those distros is actually quite high.
