This is pretty cool =]
Installing right now.

doesn't load in Cydia!

Installer points out that lighttp is required.

Cool app, but I've found it's nag screen extremely cumbersome when trying to view files one after another.

You're asked to donate to remove the nag screen.

I think if the app worked inside of Safari as the other alternative does, it wouldn't be as much of a problem seeing the nag screen once in a while.

Interesting app!
but it would be better if run audio files too (mp3,m4r)

hey,
x999x, to get rid of nag screen, you can donate an amount of your choice and contact the developer to register, then there will be no nag screen when you start the app. Lucasps, a new version will be out soon with the audio and m4v support. so stay tuned
thanks

It is nice, but I prefer the solution of "PDF/DOC/XLS/JPG/GIF/PNG Viewer (Based on Safari+Lighttpd)" http://www.modmyi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88821 , because with the above viewer you just press the "back" button when you finish viewing the file you selected.
With WildEyes you have to press home to leave safari, you then run the app again and go the directory you were before you opened the file.

Version 0.81b is out.

Changelog-

• support for htm file
• support for sound files (aif, mp3, m4v, mp4, aac) (if you have installed the Safari download plugin, it may not play mp3, but prompt you to download mp3 instead)
• if thumb file is available, show thumbs
• if users try to launch unsupported format, WildEyes! will ask for permission to proceed
• sound when tap on files/folders (it’s a bit laggy from the speaker, but faster from earphone)

Great Update!

But im having some problems now
I have a folder named 'Downloads' with many mp3 files
When I try to open a file that has a whitespace I got a "page not found error" on Safari

For example,
'This is a file.mp3' dont work
but 'This_is_a_file.mp3' runs perfectly

Does anyone know what to do?

404 not found trying to view pdf

404 not found trying to view pdf

the fix for this is coming soon.

[peeInMyPantz]

Hi,

404 errors only happen if you open a file outside of ~/Sites with spaces in the filename. Inside ~/Sites, it's fine

But I have already fixed the 404 errors, a few users with the same error tried it out and it solved the problem. It's not released yet because I am accumulating bug fixes and changes so I won't be making release too frequent.

If you desperately need it, just drop me an email and I'll forward it to you.

Should I uninstall the download plugin in order for this to work? I tried viewing an mp3 I had downloaded but the folders paths the app comes with doesn't have a path to get to the actual mp3.

hey,
the reason of the ugly menus is that the installer package makes some changes to the lighttpd config file and points it to /~/Sites/ instead of /var/root/Sites where all the modification is done with voyager's method.
thanks
