Package: geeqie Version: 1:1.2-3+b1 Severity: wishlist Hello,
when command line programs want to show a picture, they will mostly/often use /usr/bin/display, which is a link to /etc/alternatives/display. On my system that points to ImageMagic's /usr/bin/display-im6, which from a UI perspective is a *horrible* program in the tradition of ancient X applications with arbitrary key bindings and UI conventions, which need to be learned first. I do not think display-im6 should be inflicted on the general user population (users that do want to use it should be free to do so however). My preferred display program is qeeqie. So I wish for geeqie to provide a 'display' alternative. I achieved this by doing: $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/display display /usr/bin/geeqie 100 $ sudo update-alternatives --set display /usr/bin/geeqie Since there seems to be no way to achieve that in a declarative dh_ way, something like the above would need to go into postinst/postrm. Thanks a lot for packaging qeeqie! *t -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_CH.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_CH.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages geeqie depends on: ii geeqie-common 1:1.2-3 ii libatk1.0-0 2.14.0-1 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libcairo2 1.14.0-2.1 ii libexiv2-13 0.24-4.1 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.3 ii libfreetype6 2.5.2-3 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.2-10 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.31.1-2+b1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.1-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.25-3 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.3.1-12 ii liblcms2-2 2.6-3+b3 ii liblircclient0 0.9.0~pre1-1.2 ii liblua5.1-0 5.1.5-7.1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libstdc++6 4.9.2-10 ii libtiff5 4.0.3-12.3 Versions of packages geeqie recommends: ii cups-bsd [lpr] 1.7.5-11 ii exiftran 2.09-1+b1 ii exiv2 0.24-4.1 ii imagemagick 8:6.8.9.9-5 ii librsvg2-common 2.40.5-1 pn ufraw-batch <none> ii zenity 3.14.0-1 Versions of packages geeqie suggests: pn geeqie-dbg <none> ii gimp 2.8.14-1+b1 ii libjpeg-turbo-progs [libjpeg-progs] 1:1.3.1-12 pn ufraw <none> pn xpaint <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
