[Geeqie-devel] Problem with drag'n'drop
Hi, I have a problem with drag'n'drop from Geeqie to Thunderbird. Files seem to be moved to attachment pane, but after pressing Send button Thunderbird stages at Attaching phase (no progress visible). Files dragged from Nautilus work fine. Is it a known issue/limitation or I'm doing something wrong? Fedora 11, geeqie-1.0-2.fc11.i586 Regards Marcin -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.

Thanks for this patch, Bartek! I patched rev. 1796 and Geeqie compiled fine. I gave it a try with MAX_THREADS set to 3 and 4 (on CPU with 2 cores) and it seems to run a little bit faster. Unfortunately it's hard to say if its mentioned 185%. Is there an easy way to make some benchmark? You can clean the thumbs cache and run geeqie from commandline under `time` with directory that contains a lot of big photos as a param... and watch the progress bar to close app when thumbnails are done. I measured it more precisely by adding exit(0) in code when end of the list of files is reached. With loading thumbnails I see a difference. Besides thumbnails in the main list should I expect to have main image loaded (and shown) almost 2x faster (for no cached images)? Or the second (cached) image should be loaded faster? Main photo is loaded simultanously with first thumbs and only this. It doesn't load faster, since it is still processed by only one CPU. And I havent touched the prefetching mechanism too, but here is something to do. Ok. I asked because I didn't exactly know what should I expect. I don't know that algorithm and don't know would it be easy (possible?) to parallel it. But if yes I think it would be worth :).

Check the entries under Edit / Preferences / Configure Editors. Do you have an entry for Symlinks? Perhaps it is marked as Hidden. No, I have only desktop files to a few editor. Where is it keep in configuration? I could restart it (it seems to be not in geeqierc.xml).

Threads support exist in geeqie since around rev 1100, but in fact, there are up to 2 simultaneously running threads - main (for GUI) and only 1 for image loader. And GUI doesn't do anything cpu-intensive. With this patch geeqie runs a few simultaneous threads for image loaders while it loads image for main view and makes thumbnails in main list. Number of threads depends on MAX_THREADS constant (currently located in main.h, but it should probably be determined in configure somehow - I'm not familiar with automake etc). Low prio tasks (making thumbnails) runs in up to MAX_THREADS threads. When high-prio task arrives, some of the low-prio are stopped - so when MAX_THREADS=1 you get exactly the old behavior. It seems that MAX_THREADS should be set to number_of_cpus+1, with that value I've got best performance. I haven't modified the search and duplicates dialogs with their thumbnails loading methods - maybe I'll rewrite them later (I don't understand why there is more than 1 separate mechanism for making thumbnails?). And I did some tests: after modification on 2core CPU I've got about 185% of initial performance, and when MAX_THREADS=1 we get sth which is not worse than original geeqie. There are also some minor modifications in file reading - I've added madvise call to force readahead of mmaped file (with many threads its really important) and increased a bit read buffer - it gives a little performance gain for free. I hope somebody will enjoy my work;) PS. I know its not the best time to post such patch, since you are releasing 1.0, but it's also a part of a project for my course at high school;) PS2. I'll be offline from 9.07 to ~28.07, so I won't answer for any comments those days. -- bart Thanks for this patch, i attached a version of it updated to match latest revision (1796) for all to test.

Is there anyone for whom the internal copy, move, and rename commands would actually be insufficient in practice and not just in theory? I myself was pondering setting up gvfs-trash as my standard alternative to rm, so my command-line and GUI delete commands would be integrated. But I can't think of any case where mv and cp or their internal equivalents wouldn't suffice. What about symlinks? I expect many GUI users don't (or shouldn't be asked to) know what they are, much less put them to practical use. Symlinks are essential. Period. There are certainly folks who don't know how to use them, but for the ones that do, there is no alternative. I fully agree with Omari. Synlinks are very important and powerful option which unfortunately usually it's not available in image viewers. I like it very much together with an ability to define custom commands which are called on specified (and now very long) key sequence (or even shortcuts).

Re: [Geeqie-devel] Make a (symbolic) link command

Sometimes I make a symbolic links in a separate folder to photos to be printed (I don't have to duplicate those files) and later just copy it somewhere (cp follows links and copy real files). (...) Actually, there already is a possibility to add any command that requires source and target in preferences dialog. Syntax is like this: ln -s %p %d %p is the source file and %d destination. I knew about an ability to add your own command, but I though it's only to call the editor (without a dialog). But in fact it's logical that destination dialog is shown where %d occurs. The command asks for destination if it is started from the menu and appears also in dragdrop menu and in sort manager. Symlink command is a typical usage of this feature and it was added to the default commands, so you can just reset he editors list if you don't see it. I had the config from the older version. After reset I can see a Symlink command. Please test if it fits your needs. Feedback is welcome. It's exactly what I was writing about. Thanks. Symlinks are made correctly. Alt-E,3 is quite easy to reach. Btw, is it suggested to make some special steps after upgrade to the (any) new version of Geeqie?
