NAME
hatariui - Python/Gtk UI for Hatari
SYNOPSIS
hatariui | hatariui.py [options] [diskimage]
DESCRIPTION
hatariui is a Python/Gtk UI for Hatari which can either embed the
Hatari window (on X11 systems) or run in a separate window. By default
it provides a normal application menu and some extra button for faster
access to fast-forward etc. functionality, but these are fully
configurable with the command line options. While it lacks support for
some of the Hatari configuration options that Hatari’s SDL GUI has, it
also supports some options that the Hatari’s built-in SDL UI doesn’t.
Besides the UI configurability, some of the other advantages it has
over the SDL interface included with Hatari itself are use of a normal
Gtk file selector with all of its features (directory shortcuts etc),
support for UTF-8 (in file names) and in general blending better to the
user’s desktop environment.
Additionally, Hatari can run while one uses UI configuration dialogs,
and it can stop Hatari completely to better save the battery on mobile
computers. For devices without a keyboard, it offers a a text input
dialog and one can configure (from command line) buttons for often used
strings.
HATARIUI / HATARIUI.PY
hatariui is actually a shell script wrapper for the hatariui.py Python
