I just completed my first full download and sort using geeqie to manage my RAW workflow. Unless you are a photographer shooting in RAW formats (DNG in my case) you can have no idea just how much time and effort you've saved me by recompiling this little gem (and thanks to Jemima for finding it too).

I've also just completed a full clean out of old RAW images on my backup drive using geeqie to sort and delete. It took a couple of hours for a job that would have taken me days the old way.

In short, thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!! (it's always nice to know your work is appreciated, eh muggins?).

Cheers, mate. 8)

Lucid

#17 Post by johnywhy »

Hi all

any known pets or sfx's of Geeqie that run on lucid 5.2.8? I tried all 3 versions in this thread. The first one shows up on the graphic menu, but nothing happens when i run it. The other two install, but don't show on the graphics menu. Probably my own error!

Actually, i'm just looking for a simple app that can display all the images in a folder in a grid. Viewnior can only show one image at a time.

I'd be mighty grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks!

if you "just" want to see the thumbnails ROX-Filer (the file explorer) does this
just right click on the eye icon

Something that I hate with this picture viewer is how it defaults to remember if I use + to make a picture bigger. then when I hit Space
to go to next picture then it remember that I want pictures bigger even them I don't want bigger.

Maybe one can correct that behavior in some settings
but I totally fail to get how one do that trick.

That is not how Viewnior do things. Defaul in Viewnior is to keep everyting as it is and not use the + other than if I hit the + to tell it to make it bigger.

That is what I expect of a program. To do what I tell it and not introduce
some fancy thing that is impossible to shut down without being a genius!

Could some friendly soul tell me in PM maybe how one edit some config file to change that default to be like viewnior has it instead?

Awesome! Thanks!

But, I found something I like even more: xfce window/desktop manager. I like xfce much more than jwm or enlightenment. The thunar folder browser is clean, cute, and has the kind of user-friendly features that make Mac and windows so easy.

For example, thimbnails are automatically enabled on image folders. The right click menu on files is simpler, and only 1 level deep. In jwm when you right click a file, then you have to go into a sub menu for file actions like rename and delete. That's a pain, especially when you're close to the edge of the monitor, cuz then the file menu is not selected.

The toolbar autohide feature on jwm is not usable, because the unhiding hotspot is higher than the menu itself, which does not make sense. Xfce gets it right!

The xfce firefox browser enhancements (at least that what I think they work) are also helpful.

You can right click on an image and pick "use as wallpaper". Very convenient!

The xfce toolbars can be placed anywhere, like enlightenment, but they work. I had such a hard time trying to configure enlightenment, it's so complicated, and doesn't feel stable. Xfce feels really stable.

Connecting the windows keyboard key to the start menu was a cinch. No scripting needed, no config files to deal with. Great window/desktop/folder manager.

Has the features and behaviors that jwm is missing, and that are too complicated in enlightenment.

I was searching for this pet and found this thread.

Is this the best one for Lucid?

Thanks indeed for geeqie-1.0-i486.pet it works very well when I use it
in Lupu 528 but it lacks a lib file when I try to use it in Slacko 5326.

What can one do to make it work?

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 :D

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?

Heres an install script which will create the libexiv2.so.9 link needed by geeqie-1.0-dpup.pet in whatever puppy you happen to be using.

I tried it in Slacko - :D ,Racy - :D , Lucid - :( . Give it a try and see what happens.
Here's the code:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh 
 cd /usr/lib 

 #for libexiv2 
 IV=`ls --file-type libexiv2.so.* | grep -v @` 
 ln -s $IV -T libexiv2.so.9
 
 if [ -e /usr/lib/libexiv2.so.9 ]
	then 
		xmessage "install successfull"
	else
		xmessage "install failed"
 fi
This could be included in a pinstall.sh as outlined in Make your pinstall.sh script work in all puppies
Cheers, J

Note: I had to place in tar.gz file to attach it. Just click on file to extract it and then use.

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.
