Thanks jemimah. I use Geeqie in AntiX also. Works in Puppy Linux 4.31. Now going to move the pet to Macpup Next, Then Nop (via usb) and Bruno.

Dear Jemimah,

Thanks for putting me on to this one. Since I still use 3.01 on 2 of 3 machines, I took down the source and compiled it (excluded the exif2 stuff), and it works just fine. I was simply too lazy to download the exif2 headers. If anybody needs the 3.01 binary, please let me know.

With kind regards,
vovchik

on Puppy 5.2.5
when I try to start it I have the following

# geeqie &
[1] 26537
# geeqie: error while loading shared libraries: libexiv2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I installed manually

Thanks for the help

newer version of lib in /usr/lib just add a symlink

in console mode (urxvt)
#cd /usr/lib
# ls -al libexiv2*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2011-04-02 04:10 libexiv2.so -> libexiv2.so.6.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2011-04-02 04:10 libexiv2.so.6 -> libexiv2.so.6.0.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1703420 2011-04-02 04:16 libexiv2.so.6.0.0
#ln -s libexiv2.so.6.0.0 libexiv2.so.2

it now fail a bit further... when I navigate thru directories

# geeqie &
[1] 14402
# geeqie: symbol lookup error: geeqie: undefined symbol: _ZN5Exiv28ExifDataC1Ev
#

I'm running p525 right now, installed the geeqie .pet, & it runs without error.

Because the symlink, for libexiv2.so.2, was already there, I wonder if, somehow,
you've corrupted your p525 install? Have you a backup pupsave file?

I retried (reinstalled frugal + geeqie pet)
I still get the same problem

muggins
- I do have a backup pupsave file
- did you install geeqie or updated it

Thanks,

I just installed Jemimah's pet, from above. As I said, libexiv2.so already exists, within lupu_525.sfs, so I wonder whether your geeqie propblems are related to some corruption of the file system.

Try booting a pup_525 CD/DVD into RAM, install the geeqie .pet & see if it works OK.[/b]

muggins:
retried with iso from nluug.nl (previous test wher with ibiblio.org iso) checked the md5checksum ok

live-CD install on another computer (sfs in RAM)
install
1) firefox
2) geequie

same thing again

libexiv2.so does exist but need libexiv2.so.2

what have you installed before trying geeqie

I'm getting the same error as mimmo, muggins. Symbol lookup error.

I'm using Lucid 5.1 and the symlinks already exist. Any other ideas? Program runs for me but crashes when I try to select any image in my directory. The directory exists outside the pupsave file, so I hope that's not the problem.[/quote]

mimmo,

my apologies...you were right in that it was segfaulting, due to incompatible libexiv2, with lupu pups. Find attached a version compiled on p520.

@WhoDo, it should be ok with 511 also.

muggins wrote:@WhoDo, it should be ok with 511 also.

Thanks, muggins. Very much appreciated. I'll try it and keep my fingers crossed. If it works I can dump wine and faststone viewer (the only reason I use wine - pity it's not ported to Linux). Thanks again, mate.

Edit: Worked like a charm! Woohoo! Even lets me view RAW files in large size and check EXIF data on them. Finally, no more wine! Thanks, muggins!

Good to hear.

Works find, many thanks !

(on my side also it's to be equivalent to fastone)

NLS stands for nationalisation (language pack) ?

NLS = National Language Support.

I just completed my first full download and sort using geeqie to manage my RAW workflow. Unless you are a photographer shooting in RAW formats (DNG in my case) you can have no idea just how much time and effort you've saved me by recompiling this little gem (and thanks to Jemima for finding it too).

I've also just completed a full clean out of old RAW images on my backup drive using geeqie to sort and delete. It took a couple of hours for a job that would have taken me days the old way.

In short, thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!! (it's always nice to know your work is appreciated, eh muggins?).

Cheers, mate.

Hi all

any known pets or sfx's of Geeqie that run on lucid 5.2.8? I tried all 3 versions in this thread. The first one shows up on the graphic menu, but nothing happens when i run it. The other two install, but don't show on the graphics menu. Probably my own error!

Actually, i'm just looking for a simple app that can display all the images in a folder in a grid. Viewnior can only show one image at a time.

I'd be mighty grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks!

hey, i found fotoxx. the deb installs and works great!

cheers!

if you "just" want to see the thumbnails ROX-Filer (the file explorer) does this
just right click on the eye icon

Something that I hate with this picture viewer is how it defaults to remember if I use + to make a picture bigger. then when I hit Space
to go to next picture then it remember that I want pictures bigger even them I don't want bigger.

Maybe one can correct that behavior in some settings
but I totally fail to get how one do that trick.

That is not how Viewnior do things. Defaul in Viewnior is to keep everyting as it is and not use the + other than if I hit the + to tell it to make it bigger.

That is what I expect of a program. To do what I tell it and not introduce
some fancy thing that is impossible to shut down without being a genius!

Could some friendly soul tell me in PM maybe how one edit some config file to change that default to be like viewnior has it instead?
