NAME

hatariui - Python/Gtk UI for Hatari

SYNOPSIS

hatariui | hatariui.py [options] [directory|diskimage|program]

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 hatariui 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.
