New development

Hello,

today I finally find the time to look after geeqie again. I find that
Laurent did make some cool stuff including committing patches from
contributors.

Is there any reason for not including them to the master ak development
branch?

By the way, e4a5079 seems to fix or try to fix the same issue than
0922b29. I have to look which is better. 

Regards
   Klaus

New development

Ups, 5ef3084 is the correct commit in master branch. And I think the
patch e4a5079 drives the fix unworkable as the second reference to
...->name is correct.

File browser/navigation question

I'm trying geeqie as my default photo album browser and quite liking it,
however I have one problem/question about the file browser tree in the
LH sidebar.

Is it possible to 'root' the tree somewhere in my home directory?  I.e.
I want only to see the contents of the hiearchy under /home/chris/pictures,
at least by default that's all I want to see.

Oh, and another request, is it possible to select some EXIF/IPTC data to
show beside the thumbnails rather than the filename, size and date that
it shows by default - I'd much rather see the comment/caption than the
size of the file!

Moving doesn't update file list in current master

I compiled the current master from Git (last commit is from 2012-01-06), 
and noticed that when moving images the file list does not update, i.e. 
the moved images continue to be listed until refreshing manually.

(My last compile is almost a year old, so I can't say since when this 
behaviour started.)

[PATCH] Fix segfault when using a filename on the commandline

Patch attached.

I don't know if this is the correct fix, but it does seem to work in the 
limited testing that I've done.  The problem only happens when 
specifying an image filename on the commandline.  Simply specifying a 
directory works fine.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix segfault when a filename is specified on the commandline

Somehow, the file-specified-on-commandline codepath developed a
dependency on the options global, which hadn't been initialized
yet.  This change simply moves the commandline parsing to below
the options variable initialization.

JPEG image comments

Hello! 

I could have missed it but i do not see any ability to view/edit
JPEG/PNG image comments. Which is good to have in Geeqie, i think. At
least viewing.
Geeqie already uses libexiv2, so adding this feature should be mostly UI
job. For example, it can be implemented as an enhancement of the Image
Overlay.

Consider this post as a feature request. Can it be done?

Thank you.

Howdy!

Hi Geegie Developers,

First, my apology for using a developer list for a newbie query, but I 
don't find a users list.

I used to use/enjoy gqview and read now of the fork.

I am about to start a new job, but still wanted to explore options for 
technical contribution?

Also, may I ask the pronunciation of geeqie ?  I could guess, but prefer 
to know for sure.

Thx, jackc...

Bug in calling notify in idle call

Hi Vlad,

I encountered a bad error in your commit 78cde69 (Find by bisec.) With
this commit it is not possible anymore to _type_ in keywords for a
picture.

At the moment I would simply revert this commit as it seems somewhat
isolated at all. However, you might find a better solution.

Regards
   Klaus

Possible fix for bug id 3050386 (External commands wont function for read only media)

Hi all!

I ran into the same issue as described with bug 3050386.
The attached patch fixes that issue on my system.
It simly removes the check for a writable directory - that's all.
With that I can open images via Gimp or any other external editor 
without any issue.

I hope you can merge this patch into the sources...

Regards

Mathias

Windows Rating

Is there a reason why Geeqie is not reading the image rating from the
exif data. It appears to ignore this regardless of the development
source.

I mean, take a text editor and edit the .xmp file directly.  This is 
just an experiment to see if that could be confusing geeqie (I'm not 
entirely sure how its XMP parsing works).

Check 1.  Otherwise, geeqie will look for an XMP in a separated 
.metadata directory.  Otherwise, you could try to figure out the 
.metadata business; I've never used that setting, so I don't know how it 
behaves.

Just make a copy of a couple files in a test directory so you can play 
around with these settings without actually endangering the files you 
care about.
