xnviewmp-xncorverter-0.35-0.98-with-locales.sfs has been reuploaded using Argolance`s great advice. Locales should work now.

Thank you.

sub13. I dont understand a word of french, but with gxlat I understood that you were not succesful in using this sfs.
Download the sfs and place it to the /mnt/home.
Do you know how to install sfs applications. You should have save file made and then launch bootmanager > choose which extra sfs files to load at bootup. scroll to xnview sfs and select it and then click add. Click ok or save or something. Then reboot. Now you should have this xnview sfs installed and menu entries are also in place. I have managed to get locales to work, Argolance was the brilliant mind who figured locales working out.

Translate this if you dont understand the brochedures correctly.

The XnView MP 0.39 and XnConvert MP 1.1 combo sfs works in puppeee but in Lucid Puppy 525 I get a symbol lookup error:

"undefined symbol: _ZN9QListData11detach_growEPii

Can somebody please inform me how I can solve this?

lots of thanx in advance - I love this viewer!

Yes. You have conflicting Qt libs in the path. You could click the sfs open, when it is not mounted and check the qt libs and compare what qt libs you have installed with some other app.

OK, pemasu thanx. But before I damage anything I want to make sure I dounderstand you:

I go to:

In the /mnt/+mnt+home+xnviewmp-xncorverter-0.39-1.1-with-locales.sfs/usr/lib

then copy the contents to my existing /usr/lib and overwrite?

But doesn't that happen automatically when an sfs is loaded?

So... how do I know which lib causes the conflict, and when I know that which one do I have to delete?

when you load whatever way sfs, it does not overwrite existing same named files or symlinks. So...if there are already another set of Qt libs with whatever version number, there are probably also symlinks to the base version....like...usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4

So...installing this sfs will lead non working situation due to previous Qt version and because symlinks are not updated. (will not be overwritten)

Best solution. I should create new sfs where the libs location is in /opt/xn (for example)

And make in /etc/profile.d new file to point to that location. When I have time, I will recreate the package.

To your problem. Since you probably have another set of Qt libs, which you probably need (Qt libs does not include to the Lucid Puppy) for some application...maybe vlc or umplayer ? ....I am not sure that there is much point by trying to get along with 2 set of Qt libs. I will try to make the package better compliant with other Qt stuff possibly already installed.

Pemasu thanks for putting your time into Xnview!

explanation:
Xnview is the fastest tool I have found (so far) which is able to browse full screen through a pile of photos and gives the user the option to rate the pics with a 5 star rating system. My girlfriend spent a couple of months in Austrralia and New Zealand, came back with thousands of photos and needs a system to select the best ones / throuw out the worst ones fast. But the Xnview 0.39 is the first version in which the arrow buttons work in combination with full screen mode and photo rating, which is the fastest option (faster than using the mouse)

It would be lovely if this particular Xnview can be made to work in the customized puppy 525 we both use, which already has a couple of other progs installed, so we do not need to create a new customized puppy from the base version.

First page sfs and pet has been repackaged and uploaded. The location of Xnview, Xnconvert and needed libs are now in /opt/xn/*

Try, test and give feedback.

Bizarre... I have tested the new sfs (unloaded the 0.34 one, then loaded the new one via boot manager and rebooted)

...but the very same lookup error is still there.

In the sfs I can see you have the libs moved to opt. So I am using the right sfs.

What else do you think it can be?

Dromeno. Sorry. I am clueless. I suggest you to try and test with fresh frugal install. And you could also try with installling the pet instead of sfs.

Edit. What happens if you launch in console, the xnview.sh, that launching wrapper file is the right launching file, it has export commands for finding right libs location before it lauches xnview. Same goes with xnconvert.sh.
