Gwenview v1.4.1 released
Version 1.4.1 of Gwenview, the image viewer for KDE, has been released. Changes include:
- Loading of rotated JPEG images directly, rather than first loading the image and then rotating it
- Previews of images shown when dragging
- Added back, forwards, reload and save-as options to the KPart context menu
- Use of Exiv2 library rather than libexif for metadata, to fix various JPEG problems
- Numerous bug fixes
For full changelog see home page. Screenshots here, downloads (source, links to distro and third-party binaries, dependency library sources) here. Requires KDE 3.4.
Comments
I was using Gwenview 1.4.1, on a OpenSuse 10.0. After I update the KDE to 3.5.6 release 19.1, Gwenview refuse to read the jpeg files. Interesting enough is that works well in "root" mode. I took a look on jpeg libraries, and seems they have read access for everybody. As a matter of fact, there is a 775 rights (I guess even a 644 should be enough). If somebody knows what is causing that, any hint, or something, please let me know.
Thanks anticipate, Cipri.
