KSquirrel is a new image viewer for KDE, simple and convenient in usage.
|
|
|
|
While all others use another's decoders, in KSquirrel image decoding is based on own decoders
|
|
(ksquirrel-libs) which format is very simple. If support of certain format FMT is necessary
|
|
for you, you can write the decoder for KSquirrel, compile and copy it in /usr/lib/ksquirrel-libs.
|
|
At desire you can use ksquirrel-libs in other image viewer. Since 0.6.0 ksquireel-libs has
|
|
documentation and simple examples.
|
|
|
|
Due to usage OpenGL show and a manipulation the image is characterized by extreme speed :).
|
|
Also in the program customized filters, external programs, tree, thumbnails,
|
|
extended thumbnails with the information on the image, flexible options, KIPI support,
|
|
archives support are available.
|
|
|
|
Here is some history :)
|
|
In November 2003, testing long time other programs on my collection of images,
|
|
I've found an awful thing - any of programs could not show ALL images.
|
|
There was no support 32-bit BMP, TGA, animated GIF, PSD, etc. Any of them does not use the
|
|
most advanced libraries for decoding images, and use either imlib, or TQImage::load().
|
|
Having become dissapointed, I've decided to write the image viewer with the flexible
|
|
architecture. Birthday for KSquirrel - on December 10, 2003.
|
|
|
|
KSquirrel is the first viewer for KDE widely supporting such a quantity of image formats,
|
|
including Photoshop PSD, X cursors, animated GIF, FLI Animation, WMF, SVG, TTF, APNG, MNG ...
|
|
|
|
The detailed information, format of libraries with examples and screenshots you can find
|
|
visiting page http://ksquirrel.sourceforge.net/
