[Lubuntu-desktop] About GPicView
Hi everyone, As the original author and prior maintainer of GPicView, I'd like to ask for some comments from users and other developers. Since I no longer have the time to maintain GPicView and it still has many problems. I consider dropping GPicView in LXDE and replace it with a better one. Viewnior is a lightweight and feature-rich image viewer which I think is better than gpicview and it also meets the goals of LXDE. http://xsisqox.github.com/Viewnior/ It has very good balance between resource usage and feature set. Please give it some tests and gave me some feedback. I'd suggest replacing GPicView with Viewnior in LXDE. Any objections? ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] About GPicView
Hello, what about contacting the XFCE people to work on one lightweight image viewer?Xubuntu discussed about Ristretto because it isn´t very good and they also looked at replacing it with Gpicview.Maybe if we combine resources we end up with something better then both Gpicview and Ristretto. -Glenn Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2011 21:00:15 +0800 From: pcman...@gmail.com To: lxde-l...@lists.sourceforge.net; lxde-i...@lists.sourceforge.net; lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net; pcmanfm-deve...@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Lubuntu-desktop] About GPicView Hi everyone,As the original author and prior maintainer of GPicView, I'd like to ask for some comments from users and other developers.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] About GPicView
Wasn't Mirage developed for XFCE initially? I think it's a great viewer and can crop images too (no other can). But I don't know its development status. I love EOG colour profiles support, but I know it's unthinkable that layer on Lubuntu.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] About GPicView
Please try Viewnior before making comments. It's better than GPicView in many ways. It has all the feature GPicView has and is as fast. It's GTK+ 3 ready, too. Though I don't like to drop my own program and use others', I see no reason not to use it because it's indeed superior than mine. Even better, it's desktop independent. Please give it a try and give me some feedback. Developing another one with XFCE devs is not needed. I see no reason to do so. Viewnior is good enough for this. If it's not, I'm sure that several patches will be enough. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] About GPicView
I just installed Viewnior through their PPA, here are my results and thoughts... 1) Memory usage[1]: viewnior: 23.0 MB gpicview: 20.0 MB Pretty much identical, Viewnior is just as fast if not faster when browsing through a folder of images. 2) Thoughts: So far Viewnior is great, I like it. If this is what you want to do (Gpicview is your project after all) I'd support your decision. It's fast, light and has ability to crop images (a very big plus tbh, especially for Lubuntu's targeted audience). We should also look into other alternatives before deciding however.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] About GPicView
2011/8/18 PCMan pcman...@gmail.com Please try Viewnior before making comments. It's better than GPicView in many ways. Except in Ram consumption: for the same picture (very small one) i have 8,8 for gpic and 13,6 for viewnior. Other than that, i'm lliking it so far :) Though I don't like to drop my own program and use others', I see no reason not to use it because it's indeed superior than mine. Even better, it's desktop independent. For Set as Wallpaper doesn't work here on Lubuntu 11.04 Please give it a try and give me some feedback. Developing another one with XFCE devs is not needed. I see no reason to do so. Maybe not needed, but if the light desktops could join in some projects, *maybe* things will be easier. Viewnior is good enough for this. If it's not, I'm sure that several patches will be enough. Does this mean that viewnior will be adopted by lxde?? That would be nice! -- jpxsat ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] lxshortcut integration in pcmanfm PATCH

I hope this patch works also for the ubuntu package and the newer version and is useful until a 'real' integration for desktop creation is done in pcmanfm / libfm. Thanks Leszek for the patch.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [Lxde-list] About GPicView
If you are happy with it, and it comes in before feature freeze, I am personally happier to take a bit of work load from pcman on a project he is struggling to support and bring this one in.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] lxshortcut integration in pcmanfm PATCH
For me, my plan for this part is to make lxshortcut a library, or have this functionality built into libfm directly. A library might be more appropriate since this can also be used by lxsession-edit later. A separate binary is better when we want to make it an optional component and handle cases when it's not installed. Making it a library will let other programs integrate it nicely and easily since many other desktop components might need this functionality, such as lxpanel, pcmanfm, and lxsession-edit. Putting it in libfm has the benefit that we don't have to maintain yet another library. The cons is other programs requiring this feature will depend on libfm. I have not decide how to do this yet, but personally I prefer the library one. (maybe libdesktop-edit?)

[Lubuntu-desktop] New Greeter for LightDM 0.9
Hi list, I migrated my old GtkBuilder-based LightDM greeter to LightDM 0.9.x APIs. Now it works well again with the latest LightDM. It's still GTK+ 2 based. Migration to gtk3 will begin along with other LXDE components later. The source code is here: git://lxde.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/lxde/ldm-gtk-builder-greeter Main features: 1. Highly themable and much more flexible than the gtk greeter built into lightdm. 2. Works with gtk2 (so we don't need gtk3 for the login manager) 3. Possible to port old gdm themes to this. Things don't work: 1. Language selection feature is REMOVED from LightDM, so there is no way to support this anymore. We're still discuss with upstream authors about this regression. 2. The themes cannot be edited with Glade when GTK+ 3 is used. Please take some time to test if the new greeter works for you. Thanks. I think is a nice alternative to the built-in one provided by LightDM. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
