I have a feeling that those not comfortable with console apps will not find much appealing about wmii anyway - wasn't one of the original intents to produce a wm that implemented mouseless interaction in an elegant way?
I've found the same unpredictable behaviour from feh, though it's sporadic and I haven't really paid enough attention to it to be more specific. I'll try it again. On 5/23/06, Doug Bell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I've been trying out various image viewers and decided to give qiv and feh a try, since they are both on the "recommended" apps list on the wiki. What's strange is that they both seem to be severely broken when used with wmii-3. I couldn't get either one to cooperate in a managed window. They even behaved somewhat unpredictably in fullscreen and floating modes. Am I doing something wrong? Or should they be removed from the recommended list? While I'm on the subject, I think that the "recommended" and "broken" lists could be misleading for new wmii users. The "broken" list includes Firefox, gqview and openoffice.org. They might not be perfect, but all three are quite usable from wmii. And only the listing for Firefox includes any further explanation. Meanwhile, the "recommended" list consists mostly of console-based apps. While I personally use many of them (vim, mutt, mpd and sometimes ELinks), someone new to wmii might reasonably think that console apps are the only things that work and get turned away. What do others think? Doug. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/wmii
