Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Viewnior?
Yet another issue is, the underlying lib viewnior use, GtkImageView only has gtk2 support. It's a nice little library providing a lightweight and really fast gtk-based image viewer UI component. It's a pity that no gtk3 porting was done so far. Sooner or later we need to migrate to gtk3. If this issue cannot be resolved at the moment. :-( On Tue, Dec 27, 2011 at 6:40 AM, Jonathan Marsden jmars...@fastmail.fmwrote: On 12/26/2011 12:09 PM, Jean-Pierre Vidal Piesset wrote: Will Viewnior be the default image viewer in 12.04 ?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Viewnior?
The gtkimageview with GTK3 patch is in the SVN (and is done because of Evolution mail client). However, the author didn't release it. And, if we can accept the author's version of Viewnior, it also states for GTK3 support.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Viewnior packaging, and bug #889414
I feel pretty sorry that I almost abandoned the ITP... If someone wants to take on this, I will put this into RFP soon. Thanks, Yao Wei 2011/11/14 Jonathan Marsden jmars...@fastmail.fm: Julien, On 11/13/2011 05:03 AM, Julien Lavergne wrote: Do you contact the person who owns the ITP of Viewnior ? Maybe he is still working on it ? I have now ... I wanted to make sure it wasn't going to be really hard to package, before I started going public :) See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorkItemsHowto Great, thanks. It's easy, when you know how! On bugs, I seem to have come up with a usable fix for bug #889414 . A change to the rc.xml in lubuntu-default-settings. Do I have commit rights to the git or bzr tree for that, or should I propose a merge to a branch, or just do it the traditional way and upload a debdiff? Thanks, you can push the change directly to the LP branch, I'll check it and upload it when I will find time to test it. There is probably more changes to do, to upgrade configuration file to openbox 3.5 format :( OK, will do. Do we need a work item related to the openbox 3.4 - 3.5 transition, so we don't forget?
