  No, I meant the kipi plugins that were on the right-click menu in any app. 
For instance, if I was in krusader and wanted to compress a picture, I would 
right-click on the picture, go to konqueror menu, actions, and there were all 
my choices. I rarely had to use an 'app' to do anything much with my 
pictures, and if I did I used the GIMP (which also isn't working...can't even 
open a jpeg picture).

  Yes, they're installed. I checked more than half a dozen times yesterday, 
heh. I'll uninstall them and reinstall them...maybe that'll make a 
difference.

  I'll keep that in mind and see if digikam is easier to use than the GIMP or 
has enough functionality for me, but the menu choices with the kipi plugins 
usually did everything I needed without having to open another app.
