gpicview-0.1.9 - A Simple and Fast Image Viewer

[WhoDo]

Regarding the menu icon, mine is showing under Menu->Graphic. I'm wondering whether the previous version installed, still has a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications, on your computer. Or whether this is a jwm/icewm factor?

Oops! My misunderstanding! I've got that one alright. I thought you meant there should be a menu icon on the toolbar in gpicview!

gqview for me

but please can you set the default preferences for images to
Zoom
allow enlargement of image for zoom to fit = OFF

When new image is selected
fit image to window=ON

You might consider winding down the default delay between slideshow images.

Am I being stupid or does gpicview not have a slideshow option

I've recompiled gpicview-0.1.9 on pup3, & the tooltips work now.

After some not-too-exhaustive testing, it seems that the delete button doesn't work anyway. It comes back and asks if you are sure you want to delete the item, and when you answer yes it says "Resource temporarily unavailable". Maybe you had to specify the trash directory location with the compile too? There is certainly no option to set it in preferences.

Hope that helps.

WhoDo,

no promises, but I'll have a look at the code, and retrofit something or other, if it's not beyond my ken. (No offence intended to anyone called kenny!)

gqview -t -s -f works for me. But to alter the delay period, you either need to start gqview in normal mode, & alter the preferences, or look at the entry in /root/.gqview/gqviewrc

WhoDo,

I tried it in pup216, & delete works correctly. Then I tried the pup3 version, in pup3.0, and the error message you mentioned comes up, but it does actually delete the file. Anyway, I've recompiled it to remove the message, & re-uploaded.

I've no idea why the same code generates an error in one pupversion, but not another, except it must have to do with the respective gtk versions. The actual code that generates the error is just:

Code: Select all

if( resp == GTK_RESPONSE_YES )
        {
            g_unlink( file_path );
            if( errno )
                main_win_show_error( mw, g_strerror(errno) );
            g_free( file_path );

so I've just commented out the main_win_show_error line.
