We can go on like this forever. It is a shame that Nooby fail with even the basic things.
Does he even know to do his own shoelaces?
Haha nope Nooby don't. He ggogled and found an Englishmen "Boyscout"
listing all the standard versions. Nooby still don't know how to do it.

the text where too English for him to grasp. But the drawings where nice.

Give me more give me more. If you guys can do it then show it to me

I do like Geeqie also. I compiled Geeqie-1.0 in dpup exprimo. It has 3 edit with additions to edit with Fotoxx, mtPaint and Gimp. Fotoxx and mtPaint are included in dpup exprimo.

Imgur photo uploader has been included to the edit selection. It launches imgur photo uploader gui.
Imgur script needs Yad to work. Easily found from this forum.

Geeqie is sensitive to right libexiv2 versions. They are included in dpup exprimo due to Fotoxx so they are not in my pet.

But trying it in other puplet might be fruitless and you will need to hunt libexiv2 for it anyway.
And I dont have a clue how you can do that

Thanks Pemasu. The one I used to test install on Slacko
where another one named i486 while yours is named dpup
in same place.

So maybe both lack the lib needed for slackware?
I give it a try. Thanks for wanting to find solution.

Edit yes it says that I need this one libexiv2.so.9

I try to start it to see what happens

# geeqie
geeqie: error while loading shared libraries: libexiv2.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Ah okay. So much for Slacko being the next official Puppy.
I mean if it fails to do Geeqie then what usage is it?

Does Saluki do Geeqie? Which pet would be best for it?

Don't seems to work in Saluki either. I only tested the i486 version.
Missing libexiv2.so.6 instead of libexiv2.so.9
Google pnly find RPM versions of libexiv2.so.9
Would it be possible to remake such for Puppy?

Thanks jrb. I have reuploaded the geeqie-1.0-dpup pet with pinstall.sh script. I also fixed the edit with so that now it really shows the application links and can launch other applications.
As bonus....it has now imgur photo uploader edit with functionality and the uploading script has been included.
Happy photo uploading.

Thanks to both of you
Oh and Jemimah told us she has added Geeqie to the Saluki repo too.

What version that is remains to see. So for Slacko and Racy I should use
your version? and for Saluki I most likely should use Jemimah's version.

I give it a try.

But doing script or tar I usually fail with such. But if pemasu has
included it in that pet then it just works ? Well I will find out.
I will reboot and see what happens.

Haha I got so disappointed with Slacko and saluki that I deleted both of them.
So typical nooby. A moody guy

I stumbled across this thread yesterday and decided to add a comment.

I'm pleased to hear someone is trying to keep the old gqview going, it's easily the most sensible and convenient image viewer I have ever found.

One of several reasons I was started experimenting with Puppy was because the Lucid Puppy 520 documentation told me I could install Debian packages.

So I installed the Debian package <gqview_2.0.1-1_i386.deb> and it works. I have three puppy systems (two Lucid 520 and one Lucid 525) and from my point of view, gqview works perfectly on all three systems. I'm not going to claim I've tested every last bit of funcionality, but the core functionality all works as it should.

Thank you so very much pemasu for compiling Geeqie for dpup and doing such an exquisite job of it at that! It works beautifully! - especially upon both my Slacko and my 3-Headed-Dog.

I really appreciate the fine work you've done for we Puppians who can't do these type of things. You - and those of your calibre - greatly increase our computer enjoyment. Keep up the great work one and all!

Chhers/Amicalement,
