Gwenview settings never saved - NON KDE Porteus

Please reproduce your error on a second machine before posting, and check the error by running without saved changes or extra modules (See FAQ No. 13, "How to report a bug"). For unstable Porteus versions (alpha, beta, rc) please use the relevant thread in our "Development" section.

Gwenview settings never saved - NON KDE Porteus

Post#1 by Rava » 31 Jul 2011, 19:16

Hi,

I run Porteus 1.0 64 bit with all modules loaded, but I start LXDE, not KDE itself.

my problem: I always have to set "the [x] Enlarge smaller images" option by hand cause it is never saved.

And that means doing
Settings / Configure Gwenview / Image view -> [x] Enlarge smaller images
all over again when I started Porteus anew... :%)

Even when I re-started LXDE for some reasons then this setting was not saved and I have to set it again... :crazy:
It could be that the settings only got saved in a right manner when KDE is the desktop environment it runs in, but there should be a way to get that going in a NON KDE Porteus as well.

Any ideas how to do so?

The files and folders Gwenview uses seem to be:
./.kde4/share/config/gwenviewrc
./.kde4/share/apps/gwenview
./.kde4/share/apps/gwenview/recentfolders
./.kde4/share/apps/gwenview/gwenviewui.rc

in the user's home directory...
Cheers!
Yours Rava

hi Rava,

works for me. make sure that you save your changes and make sure that you press "Apply" button after tweaking Gwenview settings, check
~/.kde4/share/config/gwenviewrc
and you should see:

Code: Select all

[ImageView]
EnlargeSmallerImages=true
Cheers

Hi,

I have a question about Gwenview as well and thought of tagging to this one. Sorry Hamza.

I tried to load kipi-plugins-1.9.0-x86_64-2cf.xzm to be able to get plugins activated in Gwenview but no plugin is shown after kipi is activated.

The package is downloaded from Linux Package Search website. (kipi-plugins-1.9.0-x86_64-2cf.txz)

I would like to upload files to Facebook or Picasa Web Album using Gwenview.

@cttan
'kipi-plugins' were not present in the system when i was compiling Gwenview so support for them may be disabled in this application.
OTOH - maybe it's enough to re-compile 'kipi-plugins' on Porteus-1.0 to get them working with Gwenview - i'll check this tomorrow.

cheers

EDIR:\\
yes - gwenview needs to be re-compiled with libkipi support. i'll do this for Porteus-1.1 and add kipi-plugins to official repo.
