Anyway, if there is no kuickshow - a program I use every day and for which there is no usable replacement - I cannot upgrade. I simply need it and am not able to compile from source. When security updates for 42.3 end I'll have to check what there is on win, although I hate even thinking about it :-(
You can still build it from source. The last release was just a year ago[0]. You can also create an AppImage out of it and use it forever. OBS can produce AppImages[1].

Thank you for the hint. I've read through the AppImg page and must confess that it wouldn't make much difference if it was written in Chinese :-) This is not critique about the page, it just refers to my skills...
But it lets me hope that I could find somebody who can (and does) build an appImage of this wonderful little program, so that it works on 15.1 and in future...
One question, though: if I have, let's say, 8 kuickshow windows open, will there be a difference using appImage or "conventional" package? Wouldn't an appImage load all needed "basics" again for each instance, while the conventional could share them? If I see this wrong, please correct me.
appimage makes the program install work like on wonders, brings all required with it and does not depend on your system having anything except support for appimage. but it also bring bloat and possible security problems. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
