XnView Software

Maybe you want to add the usage of chrpath to delete the pointless runpaths from the ELF files, like I did: https://github.com/darealshinji/xnviewm ... pec.in#L21

I figured out how to set the wallpaper for MATE in console:
gsettings set org.mate.background picture-filename /usr/share/backgrounds/linuxmint/default_background.jpg

To display it zoomed, stretched or whatever:
gsettings set org.mate.background picture-options wallpaper
gsettings set org.mate ...

Probably, as XnView includes exiftools and Qt. I reworked my script a little so that it asks for the right path to the system exiftools libraries, which differs on RPM distros.

There are no RPM packages provided for XnViewMP, so I made a quick lookup on how to build RPMs and created a spec file and scripts to do that:
https://github.com/darealshinji/xnviewmp-rpm

However, I'm running Ubuntu, so I can't really check how good those packages work. Maybe someone who's ...

Unfortunately I don't know much about RPM packaging.
But replacing XnView's ExifTool with the system one's is relatively easy.

Let's assume xnview is installed in /usr/lib/xnviewmp:
# delete xnview's exiftools
rm -rf /usr/lib/xnviewmp/AddOn/lib/File
rm -rf /usr/lib/xnviewmp/AddOn/lib/Image
rm -f ...

Can you build cleaner Debian packages for future releases?
Here's the Lintian output from the current 64 bit package:
djcj: Downloads $ lintian XnViewMP-linux-x64.deb
E: xnview: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath opt/XnView/Plugins/IlmImf.so /home/pierre/viewer/Plugins/OpenEXR/ilmbase-1.0.2/lib
E ...

As the title says. This should definitely be fixed.

I took some time and re-packaged the Debian package. I tried to get rid of all Lintian error messages and warnings and added every file that should be available in a package (manpage, hicolor icons, proper Debian copyright file, etc.). Then I removed everything that is available through the package ...

Which desktop environments does it actually support?

This issue doesn't seem to be new: http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=27245&p=108215&hilit=wallpaper#p108215

When I had the console open while trying to save as wallpaper I couldn't find anything unusual. It just shows "####update menu####" after each try. I'm a bit curious how that's ...

Can you support thumbnails of the OpenDocument format too? Implementation of that should be relatively easy, since OpenDocuments are basically ZIP archives containing XML files, and pre-processed thumbnails are stored inside at Thumbnails/thumbnail.png .

Here are some example files:

Can you enable resizing of animated gifs, so that the resized pictures are still animated?

I have updated the first post. Instead of a script I now offer you a tiny dummy package for Ubuntu which downloads and installs the program.

@xnview: For future releases I could help you to create Debian packages which are more acurate to the Debian guidelines. Just send me an email.

Interresting, I didn't know that. What exactly is the difference between XnView's Qt libs and the regular ones?

I have written a script (Makefile) that downloads XnViewMP and creates a proper Debian package without unavoidable Lintian warnings and with a correct dependency line.
