Uploaded version 0.6

Changes:
- now based on the "pictureviewer" class, so it supports PDF documents and has other advantages, like drag'n'drop from the Webbrowser or a filemanager.

- fixed a *masive* memory leak. It was so critical, that I removed the 0.5 pet.

- added support for keyboard navigation.

- added support to pass a filename as commandline argument. The tree will automatically expand to the folder, where the fiile is located, and display it.

- only supported files are shown in the filelist (pictures or PDF).

This is great Mark, just few reccomendations:

Shortcut for fullscreen is Alt+F but for leaving fullscreen Alt+L, why not making Alt+F both?
What about looping filelist, e.g. when you reach last picture it reads again from top?
Also I had few images downloaded from web with %20 character in name (I guess converted spaces) that are shown in filelist but it desn't show them in viewer, I guess filename is the cause.

Works good, my vote for default image viewer in next puppy release

ok, I will have a look in one to two weeks.
I'll finish my C# course on Friday, until then I have no time.
Afterwards, I will try to add your suggestions, and enhance PuppyBrowser, and write a Genie examplebrowser for programmers

Thanks for your suggestions

oops, 0.6 had a small bug, so files could not be passed as commandline arguments.
I uploaded a fixed 0.6 now.

Nice that it also works with PDF's. Is it possible to add a "view as thumnails" option too? Sometimes it is very handy to do that with PDFs and there is no file manage that I am aware of which shows files other than image files as thumbnails.
