[opensuse] Konqueror Image Quality Setting
Does anyone know where you set image rendering quality in Kong? This link shows a small section of a screen capture with Firefox showing the same web page as Kong. Firefox on left, Kong on Right. http://i34.tinypic.com/2nq4ajd.jpg (image of Nokia N900) Same page, Same machine (KDE 4.3.3) but the kong image is full of jaggies. The image on the web site is not displayed at its full size as right clicking and selecting View Image displays it bigger and properly rendered. Firefox shows a much better rendering than Kong, and I was looking for the setting that controls that. Source page is here if anyone is interested http://nokiaexperts.com/nokia-n900-starter-guide/ (Its a pretty cool Linux Phone). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

So, nobody knows? Is this a Konqueror bug that I should file a bug report for? -- __________________________________________________________ Somebody stoled my tag line, so now I have this rental...

John, I suspect that not many people now use konqueror - I know that I have never used it. So, I guess, it would pay you to file a bug report for it. (I accept that you have your reasons for using konqueror, but if you are also using Firefox why use konqueror?)

There are a few of us out here that prefer Konqueror. I'm still on 11.0, (Konqueror 3.5.9) and have not seen the problem John is having. I only use Firefox for web pages that do not play well with Konqueror. I find that Konqueror is smaller, faster, and more flexible than Firefox, and of course, is better integrated with the rest of KDE. :-) Leslie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I also use Konqueror as my main browser (and file manager), although I have moved to the KDE 4 version. I just checked and I can confirm the "jaggies" on the image when it is embedded in the web page reference by the OP. Slight "jaggies" still appear even when I open the image in a stand-alone tab. I believe the scaling that the web page is requesting is aggravating the "jaggyness".
I only use Firefox for web pages that do not play well with Konqueror.
Agreed. Although, in order to make web developers aware of Konqueror, I'll use Konqueror a work around the poor web page implementation if at all possible; Firefox/Iceweasel is installed, but only as a last resort.

Agreed. I love the KParts integration, and although Dolphin seems to be the preferred file manager by the project, I don't use it in favor of Konqueror; it is nice to have a single application that transparently moves me from a PDF on my local file system, some google results, and my local source tree. I also use the "Web Shortcuts" feature excessively, although I hear that Firefox has something similar now. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/

I did some more digging and did find a bug that addressed this issue https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200657 The original bug addressed GIFs but the symptoms were identical. I suspect Kong does not apply the same degree of Anit-Aliasing as do Firefox, Safari and MSIE. (As to why use Kong, its simply that is loads faster than Firefox, and I believe it paints faster too. On rare occasions I find pages that it still can't render properly.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
