Maybe, you can browse through http://www.gnustep.org/softwareindex/ which more and more list all GNUstep applications and components, independently of where and by whom they are developed and hosted. If you find some application that is not yet included, please feel free to add it.

Services are good but there is no such concept that apps _should_ be doing only one thing. Its purpose is for making flexibility in setting up simple work flows and speeding up the development. Some operation can be separated into a few, in some complex operations you can't, Rather waste memory and CPU time starting an app just to use its services, directly linking a framework could be far less expensive, and of course less flexible. ___ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep

The released version is also 0.1. > maybe in GNUStep the concept is different, e.g. one application does > only one thing, if it prints image it call services from an image viewer > like Preview.app, is it right? This is correct, I do not like mega-applications. PRICE (http://price.sf.net) is currently capable of printing and I use that, albeit it is a bit rough. I hope to find the time to improve it. > Thumbnail browsing would also attract users much.

I'd consider the Firefox style much more friendly. IN Firefox Thumbnails are nice but always a problem I use several programs on Mac, Windows, Unix, all have their problems. Please be aware that GWorkspace itself can do thumbnails and before duplicating a file manager functionality into a program, I need to evaluate that. I think it is an interface error, but of course here we are about borderline. In nay case it is not one of the features I'm workingon currently for LaternaMagica.

Thanks for introducing this software. It seems lacking features normal user expect from an image browser, e.g. print an image. Again maybe in GNUStep the concept is different, e.g. one application does only one thing, if it prints image it call services from an image viewer like Preview.app, is it right? Some input from an end user: Thumbnail browsing would also attract users much. However automatic thumbnail genreation is a bad idea, I experienced this with nautilus especially when there are press-quality pictures that takes minutes to thumbnail. I'd consider the Firefox style much more friendly. IN Firefox a bollon appear on the top of the main content area with a simple quesiton and one or two buttons following, asking "Do you want to save your password? [yes] ...". Such thing if used on thunbmail generation I would consider it friendly. ___ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
Re: image browser application
Hello Zhang, please have a look at LaternaMagica in the GAP project. It is thought exactly for that, it allows single-window browsing of a list of images and recursively adds files given a folder. It also has full-screen and image resizing capabilities. a new release is upcoming too, but a few bugs need to be ironed out. I fyou don't fear that, you can use the CVS version which has better key bindings than the past release.

image browser application
Do you think it is needed to have image browser application? Like gthum in gtk/gnome, mapivi in tk etc. For doing slideshow or reading manga or selecting photos etc. I didn't find one in existing applications. There are software that shows single image though. ___ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
