Chilong is a program that sets Discord Rich Presence (RPC) status for SumatraPDF, a FOSS reader application that can read *.pdf, *.epub, *.mobi, and comic book archives (*.cbz, *.cbr, *.cb7, etc.), among other files. It uses Lachee's C# Discord RPC library to set RPC.
You can get the latest binary from the releases tab. Chilong runs on it's own and is entirely seperate from SumatraPDF. This is not a plugin. Chilong works with portable and installer-based versions of SumatraPDF for Windows.
At the moment it should be... Check the issues tab for any issues.
SumatraPDF is named after the tropical island of Sumatra in Indonesia, so I decided to go with a southeast/east Asian inspiration for my name. In southeast and east Asian mythology and Chinese folk religion, there are 4 Dragon Kings (四海龍王, Sìhǎi Lóngwáng). They, along with the Yellow Dragon (黃龍, Huánglóng) maintain peace and harmony in the universe. The Dragon King of the south, is known as the Red Dragon (赤龍 [Chìlóng] or 朱龍 [Zhūlóng], literally "Cinnabar Dragon", "Vermilion Dragon"). He is the parton of the South China Sea, which borders Sumatra, and is associated with summer and fire, which fits Sumatra being a hot, tropical island.
Well...it's functional, but it doesn't look the way I want it to or have all the features I want it to...so let's say it's in progress.
- Setting current page and reading mode in the status
- A program icon
- Running as a system tray application so that it can update the background and you don't need to worry about it
Special thanks to BloodDragooner for the idea and help with testing!
