Hi, everyone. I have a mystery and would appreciate your wise counsel.
I have been using kuickshow to display .tiff files. No problems until today.

the locate database is updated once a day, so if you changed your system, it won't show up in "locate" until the next day, unless you manually run /etc/cron.daily/updatedb as root
Thank you. I was unaware of this.
And when I try to add it using the install and delete software function in Yast it doesn't even come up as available on the DVD.
Your problem is that your latest red carpet update got you the latest kdegraphics3 packages, and they've been slightly rearranged
On the CD it was part of kdegraphics3. In the new KDE 3.3 packages it's been moved to a new package called kdegraphics3-imaging. In red carpet, go to the "available" tab, scroll down to kdegraphics3-imaging and mark it for installation and click "Run Now".
Yes ! Once I deleted a conflicting version of kolourpaint it installed and now kuickshow works! Thanks Anders and Patrick! ;o) So, gurus. I had no idea that updating red-carpet would change my kuickshow via the changes in this new package kdegraphics3-imaging. I just upgraded the packages red-carpet offered to me as part of a regular update. I never saw kdegraphics3-imaging until I checked the "available" tab as suggested by Anders. Otherwise I would have never known it exited. Is this the sort of thing that a relative neophyte to Linux should have known about? Should I have been able to anticipate this? Should I have been able to figure this out on my own? Or was this something pretty sophisticated and not reasonably something a neophte should have been able to diagnose and fix on my own? Thx! ;o) Gil
