Yes, the newer builds removes kuickshow and gives us KView to replace it with more features. Nice new viewer, but one needs to change the file associations in Konq to get kmail to use it correctly.
I tried the new kview but don't like it. If I used it as an embeded viewer I kept getting messages about not being able to find some lib, then it would show me the image anyway. It also "seems" slower than kuickveiw. Both programs (kview and kuickshow) are available in the 3.1-71 series so I can use whichever is appropriate at the time
There is a new version of pixieplus out, now that you mention it, but it also requires a newer version of ImageMagick as well. I haven't compiled them yet, but am anxious to see the new version as I am sure he is developing it actively again, adding new features and putting some back he had taken out.
I just compiled ImageMagick, had to use the "./configure --enable-lzw --with-x --with-windows-font-dir=/usr/share/fonts/msfonts --enable-shared" options to get it to install with checkinstall. Basic functionality seems to be there but when I tried make check I recieved messages that most things had failed we'll see.
More disturbing is that it upsets my apt upgrade process.
I'm just starting on this process so I'll let you know what happens.
Well ImageMagick compiles adaquately with the above configure options and seemed to work fine as display and for processing but alot (8 or 9) of other rpm packages were broken (at least when I used checkinstall to create and install it). Most of them were looking for libMagick.so.5 which the new package didn't install (I found no libMagick* in /usr/lib so it appears to remove the existing lib). I eventually downgraded to the most recent stable versions. Granted I have very little experience troubleshooting compile problems or building rpm's (yet). Just thought I'd pass along my experences. -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!
