None opens the images in the largest possible size of the screen.

Well it's at least available on that site as a tar file. Let's face it, we've all been there.

By clicking the 'Files' tab/heading in the middle of the page, you'll see the one listing for the tar file. The poor site design doesn't make it obvious that if you hover over this area you'll see a horizontal scrollbar appear. On my 1920 HD display at full screen the file listing is still too wide by default to be able to see that if you scroll to the right there are two buttons, one a Download arrow, the other 'Install'. And just above the Install button the column heading OCS-install has a question mark. Click on that and you'll get a pop-up explainer that uses some other generic package as an example.
Download Linux package from: https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1136805/

I think you're meant to replace ocs-url with the actual URL.

In this case there doesn't appear to be an RPM. The pop-up also gives the following instructions: Install from source Make git clone, or download the source archive and extract it. Build and install $ cd /path/to/ocs-url $ ./scripts/prepare $ qmake PREFIX=/usr $ make $ sudo make install Uninstall $ sudo make uninstall

Which is a source tar file, can not be installed even with those instructions. The question mark is only instructions to install "OCS-install", not valid for installation of ShowImage.

It allows the exchange of relevant data from a social network between the site and clients such as other websites and applications or widgets running locally on the user's machine or mobile device. The protocol is designed so that all applications can access multiple services providing OCS APIs. The initial API design was done by openDesktop.org as part of the Social Desktop, especially as a cross-desktop backend provider.[1] The API was standardised by freedesktop.org so that third-party providers are able to implement OCS API. Non-KDE environments using the API in the past included the Maemo Downloads application store[2] and Apps for MeeGo.[3] You need OpenCollaborationServices to be supported first on openSUSE, and AFAIK it is not.
The poor site design doesn't make it obvious that if you hover over this area you'll see a horizontal scrollbar appear. On my 1920 HD display at full screen the file listing is still too wide by default to be able to see that if you scroll to the right there are two buttons, one a Download arrow, the other 'Install'. And just above the Install button the column heading OCS-install has a question mark. Click on that and you'll get a pop-up explainer that uses some other generic package as an example.
Download Linux package from: https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1136805/
That is some program called ocs-url. What does that have to do with anything?
I think you're meant to replace ocs-url with the actual URL.

Yes, of course, already did that. I just wonder why they are kept in my repositories list when during the install I click "do not keep additional repos". But that's another topic :-)

I never recommend to use OneClick. Many years of failures. Sometimes I instead download the OneClick definition file, then read inside to find how to actually install what I want. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)

I just installed it no problem on 15.5. Here's a screenshot: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/5844c1318820 From the page https://software.opensuse.org/package/showimage click the community package for 15.5, then Expert Download. Follow the given instructions, i.e.: For 15.5 run the following as root: zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:wkazubski/15.5/home:wkazubsk... zypper refresh zypper install showimage In my case I skipped the last step and went into YaST to do it from there. It didn't bring in any additional packages. Runs fine, although it's immediately hijacked top place as default program for opening images, which I wish it wouldn't. gumb

This worked. Thank you. The program looks nice and is fast, but has some important disadvantages compared to Kuickshow: - resizing windows resizes also the image until it fits window height or width. So it is not possible to have a smaller window that shows part of an image file in original size. - a simple left-click in a window (of several opened showimage-windows) changes the image to the next in the folder. For the very short test I did I could not find any settings to change those strange behaviors which are a deal breaker for me :-( -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga Twitter: @Marsfotografo (often explicit nudes) https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com (nudes)

I vaguely seem to remember having the same problem a couple of years ago but don't recall how I got around it. Maybe try logging in with a Github account, or try in a Private Browsing window in case some cookie has messed up. You might even need to do a password reset. I don't know if it was this site but it seems to ring a bell that following some attack or hack a reset had to be done to get some functionality back.

You might be in luck. I noticed that the maintainer on the Linux Apps site, Martin Koller, is also the person who supplied the latest 1.11 version for Leap 15.4 on the Open Build Service. And so logging into OBS I see his email displayed. I won't post it here, I'll send you a private mail. gumb

Can't find a fix for that one.

Right-click, go to Settings, change the number selected under Mouse Button for Next Image / Previous Image, to something else, e.g. 8 and 9. This worked for me (the first couple of clicks didn't but then the setting stuck).

Ah! Then I misunderstood, because some of the programs I tried the other day do what you ask. I don't remember which. Oyranos image display: Absolutely plain photo, but does not resize properly. Has context menu. I can not find the actual program name, can't find it in "ps". 2nd check: Has resize window separate from zoom and pan. But: has a redraw bug, a real nuisance, at least here. Otherwise, it does what you want.
