Hi there,
I just installed XnView MP and just enjoyed running it on Ubuntu 9.04
I have a small suggestion about the starter-skript xnview.sh: to let it start from every folder I want to, I changed the skript to this:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
XNVIEW_FOLDER=$(echo $0 | sed -e 's/\/[^\/]*$//');
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$XNVIEW_FOLDER/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$XNVIEW_FOLDER/
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH
$XNVIEW_FOLDER/xnview
Best Regards
Flashbaer

Hello
Thank you for the script, for information you can use this one too:
http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.p ... 915#p77915
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
dirname=`dirname $0`
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$dirname
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$dirname
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH
$dirname/xnview "$@"
But I agree +1, it will be better to have this kind of xnview.sh by default instead the actual one here:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=./
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH
./xnview

Why is it better than the current one?

Because in this case, it is possible to start from any folder, and it is also possible to use under nautilus explorer ( for example) the contextual menu "Open With" ... image_file.jpg for example to open this image with XnViewMP (do not forgot the quotes in this case here: "$@" instead $@).
... But it is also possible to have 2 or more xnview.sh files samples in your .tgz package ( xnview01.sh, xnview02.sh, and so....) for specifics use.
The suggested new kind of xnview.sh:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
dirname=`dirname $0`
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$dirname
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$dirname
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH
$dirname/xnview "$@"
the actual xnview.sh by default:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=./
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH
./xnview

Done into the Linux MP 0.25 version - Thank you Pierre for this improvement.
But this solution is probably much better (in case of symbolic link) ???, see here:
http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.p ... 580#p82580
change:
dirname=`dirname $0`
to
pathname=`readlink -f $0`
dirname=`dirname $pathname`
