Diplay pixel coordinates, and rgb-data / pixel coordinates for editor

I missed a feature in gqview, so I implemented it today. It is an
optional status-bar add-on showing the pixel-coordinates of the mouse
and the rgb-values of this pixel. I also added %x and %y as
editor-macros working together with %p to use the pixel values for a
call to a script. Furthermore I added a checkbox in the view-menu to
turn off the feature as it may be disturbing to see the permanently
changing values if you do not need them.

Referring to former feature requests I think maybe someone might want
to use it:

https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=40F9E2BE.9080606%40techspecs.com

It was my first try adding _senseful_ ;) features to an open source
project, so any advices are appreciated. Unfortunately I did not
recogise that gqview is outdated, so I learned my first lesson. Anyway
... the attached patch applies to GQView 2.1.5 src-dir, diffed against
the svn-tag in the geeqie-repository of that version.

Greetings, Ruben

customised shortcuts don't work in fullscreen-mode

I customised the .gqview/accels file having lines
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/MenuActions/RotateCCW" "l")
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/MenuActions/RotateCW" "r")
now.
But in fullscreen-mode
r 
still works as refresh and 
l
doesn't anything.

Any hints?

Thank you.

Werner

Geeqie: a fork of GQview

Hi all,

We (Vladimir Nadvornik and Petr Ostadal) have created a GQview fork named 
Geeqie. It's homepage is http://geeqie.sourceforge.net. We want to improve 
features useful for handling digital photos.

Here is a list of already implemented new features:
http://geeqie.wiki.sourceforge.net/new_features

Feel free to join the mailinglist and check out the source or binary packages. 
Any feedback is welcome. 

Now we want to integrate the existing patches. It would be helpful if you 
could sent the patches to our mailinglist.

Vladimir

Fork

Hi,

Creating a fork of gqview is somewhat blocked because we are not sure 
that "GQViewE" is optimal name. In fact it was a very first idea that we had 
when we were creating the svn repository :)
However we were not able to find a better name yet. So I would like to ask 
here. Does anybody have any idea?

BTW, there is some progress in the svn. I have added a possibility to 
use exiv2 library and display almost all metadata.

How does translation / localisation of GQView work?

G'day everyone

I lead a volunteer translation project to translate opensource software 
into various languages, and it looks like GQView is a program that we 
should help to translate.  Can you please tell me what the process is of 
translating GQView?

I see GQView uses PO files.  Where can I get the POT file?  Is the POT 
file generated by the GQView team, or must translators generate it 
themselves?

Does GQView have a formal translation process?  I mean, is there a 
single translator or translation team that is regarded as the translator 
for that language, or can anyone just update the translation of any 
language at any time?

I look forward to your responses.

Sincerely
Samuel Murray

GQViewE: LIRC support?

Some time ago I wrote a patch to add LIRC support (see www.lirc.org) to
gqview. It allows you to use a remote control to browse your photos,
zoom in/out and so on. It is expecially useful in fullscreen mode for
presentations or just to show your friends your holidays photo. Maybe
it could become one of the enhancements of GQViewE? 
If anyone is interested the patch can be found here:

jpeg size limit

Hi,

Like Photoshop, gqview can't display jpeg images larger than 30'000 pixels. 
Gimp correctly display them. Do you think it is possible to add support 
for such large images?

Thanks,

gqview-devel status

Gqview

With the addition of 2 features, Gqview will enable me to stop using 
VMWare, Windows and Thumbs Plus.
To be finally rid of the last windows application is very important to me.

The first feature is a display of the jpg quality.
File size alone is not enough. A 75 quality file can easily have extra 
data in it and appear larger than a file of 85 or higher quality.
There are also the cases where I have images that were 50-75 compression 
quality, but someone saved them at 99.
Only if I know the real jpg quality can I effectively sort though my 
collections.

Visual comparison:
If I right click a thumbnail and scroll down, I can open the image in a 
new window.
With 2 or more images open, I can switch between them on the task bar 
and easily see the differences.
However, when doing this with hundreds or thousands of images, it lacks 
usability.
If the “open in new window” was at the top of the dialog box AND a 
double left click on the thumbnail would open in a new window, I would 
have the usability that I need.

A third but not required (right now) feature is to store the meta data 
and the thumbnails in a database.
This is the standard procedure for professional applications and with 
good reasons.
We have Sqlite, Postgres and MySql available. Showimg already has this 
implemented so, code to see how it is done is available.

There is of course a long list of other usability items before Gqview 
would be close to a
commercial application like Thumbs Plus, but the first two features 
above would make it usable.
Right now, it is not.

However, before I make such changes to my copy of Gqview, I would really 
like to know the status of the project.

 From the home page I see that nothing has happened since December 2006.
On the mailing list archive, I see that code has been submitted, but no 
where do I see where that has been rolled in.
Perhaps worse is this note in the CVS:
##### Note: GQview CVS on sourceforge is not always up to date, please 
use #####
##### an offical release when making enhancements and translation 
updates. #####
If this is true, how is there any coordination of the code changes that 
the developer is working on (if any) and those of others?
Next, I see that there is a fork in the project with all the code 
changes over at
http://svn.opensuse.org/viewcvs/GQViewE/trunk/

If the source forge page is correct, there are 38 open bugs. But with no 
coordination, I have no idea who's code (if any) is working on these bugs.
There are also 115 open feature requests (not including mine)

Before I make any changes or additions to the code, I would like to know 
the status of the project.
I would also like to know if there is something I can do to help 
coordinate the project. Does the project need someone to roll the new 
code into a new Test series? Need help testing it?
Coordinate getting this new tar ball out to the maintainers at the 
various distributions?
What can I do to help?

Enhanced GQview - alpha quality packages for testing

Hi,

Since there is some progress in our Enhanced GQview project, I have created
some packages for various distributions to allow easy testing.

The packages are here:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/nadvornik:/GQViewE/

Of course you can also compile it yourself from this subversion repository:
http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/GQViewE/

Here is a list of implemented features and TODO:
http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/GQViewE/trunk/README.GQViewE

and here is some kind of project page
http://idea.opensuse.org/content/ideas/enhanced-image-viewer-for-efficient-photo-management

The features are not yet complete, but there were some code infrastructure 
changes and I would like to get reports about regressions. I am also
interested in comments about usability of the new features.

Vladimir Nadvornik
