GWORKSPACE 0.9.4
After long hours of hacking, I am pleased to announce a new release of
GWorkspace. I must thank Bertrand, Andres and others who both motivated
and helped me to work on the translation work.
The major news in this release, among many bug fixes, are:
* more complete and corrected translations in major languages (Italian,
French, Spanish and German)
* new thumbnail management: it is no longer a "service" managing a
separate executable, but it is a built-in function executing in separate
worker threads. This means less overhead, more speed especially on
multi-CPU systems and ability to run on more than one directory at once
* the image content inspector no longer spawns a worker program, but
uses an internal worker thread: quicker, less resource hungry and more
reliable DO
* support for new themable icons (requires latest GUI version and
up-to-date themes) like Movies and also some improved packaged icons
* localized names for special folders (e.g. Desktop, Downloads
Images...). The real name must be in English but it will be displayed
localized in the Workspace
* improved resizing algorithms, fix handling of alpha channels and less
common byte per samples
Major bugfixes:
* major fixes in icon thumbnails and linked items
* major fixes in the search tool
* improved disk mounting/unmounting, disk management enabled without Desktop
* Dock icon ordering fixed
* listen to theme change notifications
* improved build system (uses gnustep make configured compiler) and more
checks for portability
* improved portability, including compilation on windows
GWorkspace is GNUstep's File Manager and Desktop the best one around!
