Sometimes wonderful things happen and I want to share this with you. User gumb hinted me on this list to showimage as the successor of the abandoned kuickshow, that I urgently need for my daily work. But showimage lacked a feature I need [resizing window without zooming image]. gump provided me the email address of the developper, Martin Koller. Last Sunday I wrote an email to Martin describing my problem. Tuesday he sent me an executable with a new version and asked me to test it! Already this version did what I needed. I sent my report and added some suggestions of features he'd maybe liked to add for future releases. The same evening I received a new version that included those additional features (settings to turn off hover-menu, change background color; change brightness/contrast/gamma). Now I have a perfect showimage that is even better than kuickshow was (it also can display RAW files, Filename is showed better [at the beginning of the title, so it remains readable in small windows], mouse wheel can be used for zooming, all windows can be closed with one click/shortcut, brightness/contrast/gamma-changes can be undone...) Honestly I didn't expect such a fast and perfect solution for my problem and I know that even in open-source one cannot expect this. But it shows how helpful this mailing list often is, and that in the linux world things can happen that are absolutely unthinkable in Win/Mac surroundings. So sorry for taking your time for my sentimental post, but I just had to share my gratefulness! -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga Twitter: @Marsfotografo (often explicit nudes) https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com (nudes)
