Enter on a picture shows it: shrunk to fit the screen, or at its own size
with Enter again and the arrows to move. Dithered to the screen's 256
colours; a colour the screen has exactly is left alone, so screenshots are
shown as they are.
The picture is decoded once, straight into the screen's buffer, and kept
there (App::retainsContent): no copy in memory. Decoding runs on the
storage task, so the keys keep working and a 12 megapixel photograph
appears as it comes instead of tripping the watchdog.
PNG, BMP and GIF are read by decoders of our own, host-tested against files
made by Pillow; the PNG one needs 32 KB where the display library's needed
44 KB in one block, which the device often doesn't have. JPEG uses the
library's TJpgDec.
Also corrects two sentences that still gave 16 KB as the editing limit.

The editor held the whole note in memory and stopped at 16 KB. It now keeps
a window of the file around the cursor, and the rest on the card as a list
of pieces (notes::NoteDocument). Memory with a note open is what it was.
Up to 64 KB a save rewrites the file, as before. Above, the five-second
save appends what changed to <note>.edit, and the file is rewritten on
leaving the note, with a progress bar. After a power cut, opening the note
picks the edit up where it was saved; a rewrite cut short is finished or
dropped, never half applied.
Also: Ctrl with Fn+Up/Down go to the start and end of the note; the
consoles' `key` command takes ctrl-, alt- and shift-; the Storage App's
`e` no longer refuses a big file.

The Notes App lists the files of /notes by their first line, newest first:
n starts a note, Enter opens it, r renames its file, d deletes it after
asking, s sorts by name. A new note's file is named after its first line.
The editor wraps at spaces, 38 columns by 8 rows; Fn+arrows move through
the wrapped text, Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E go to the ends of the line. There is no
save key: the note is written five seconds after the last key, on Back, on
leaving the App, when the screen turns off and before the device powers
off. A save writes a temporary file and puts it in the note's place; a save
cut short is put back, or offered, the next time.
A note is up to 16 KB, held in one buffer reserved when it's opened: the
file is read straight into it and typing never makes it grow. A failed
allocation aborts on this device, and with IRC connected the largest free
block is about 31 KB: a first version that copied the note once on loading
restarted the device when a full note was opened with IRC connected.
Editing files of any size is #47.
The Storage App's text viewer gets `e`, which edits a text file up to 16 KB
with the same editor unless the file is read-only.
439 host tests. Checked on the device: docs/milestones/F1.md.

The Storage App browses the SD card: folders first with sizes and dates,
three sorts, one item at a time with a clipboard (c, x, v), rename, delete
after counting what's inside, new folder, details. A listing holds 256
entries and says when a folder has more.
FileOps does the card's work for the App and the console alike, one
operation at a time on the storage task in turns of about 150 ms, so Logs
and Captures are still written during a long copy. A copy shows progress,
can be cancelled (what it wrote is taken back) and compares sizes after.
The read-only rules are checked there: the firmware's top-level folders,
/gemini/cache, and files being written (a Track, a Capture, an upload,
today's IRC Logs). A listing reads the folder straight from FatFs: through
the Arduino File, 329 entries took over two seconds.
Viewers by type: text read a screen at a time whatever the file's size
(logs open at the end), a hex dump, a Capture's packets as the LoRa Scanner
lists them, a Track's summary, and an Update File checked as an install
would check it, without writing anything. Tab shows any file as hex or text.
Settings > Storage is gone: usage, Storage Clean-up and Erase are the App's
Maintenance, behind a warning. The Storage Warning points there.
The Clock sets the system time whatever its source, so files are dated
correctly with a GNSS Fix alone (Q137).
Console: cp, mv, mkdir, du, cancel; rm takes folders and follows the rules;
ls shows dates; Debug Builds get `sd fill`.
424 host tests. Checked on the device: docs/milestones/F1.md.
