XnView Software

Hi,

just wondering if there are some plans to create the Linux version for 1.80... or basically any version that would use GTK 2.

Thanks!

No i don't think, but currently i think about a version with QT

Better keep Motif than switching to Qt...

Motif is too old, but xnview for Motif will be always available

That's good to hear, because as a user I actually like Motif UIs: they're simple, lightweight and get the job done.

But not Multi OS

Does it mean All versions (including Windows and Linux one) will be QT made ?
And that the versions will be the same for all the OS supporting QT ?

Cordialy.

Only Pierre knows it, of course, but I think so, yes. And it sounds reasonable because that's basically what Qt does. Qt is also a nice toolkit for X11 only, but multi-platform support from the same source code is THE Qt feature.

I don't do any multi-platform development myself, but I can imagine that it must be quite frustrating to write the same code multiple times for Win32+Motif or Win32+GTK or X+Y or whatever.

Then use wxwidgets.

i don't like wxwidgets

Go with QT, Pierre. It's a shame when an excellent program like XnView looks as bad as motif does. And I have not seen a single program in wxwidgets that actually looks nice either

I love the Windows ver of XnView and am trying to only boot Linux so a QT multiplatform QT port would be fantastic.

great work Pierre

In my opion Xnview is the best photo viewer but Linux version looks awful and I have to click very fast (I don't know why). It's the worst looking picture viewer on Linux platform so I don't use it. I'd like to buy it, but appearance must be improved

I share this opinion.
I love XnView, as I know it from Windows. Now I installed Ubuntu (wonderful), but I miss the real thing (XnView) there...
Any future plans/hopes you can share with us?
