Description Nathaniel Taylor 2005-12-21 10:57:54 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:                Linux

As far as I'm aware, there's no setting / compilation option to make kuickshow able to read images in djvu format.
I'd find this useful, as djvu gives very good images with small file sizes and the only reason I still use jpg is that I have no good viewer that can quickly flick through my collection if it's djvu.

Perhaps there's a problem that djvu can be page-oriented a well as just photo-oriented?  Can't support for single-page files at least be included?

Thanks, for your suggestion.

In KDE 3.5 kviewshell supports DjVu documents with support for text search,
hyperlinks, different DjVu viewmodes, basic editing (deleting pages, ...).

It is probably not the best choice if you just use DjVu as a jpeg
replacement, as it's intended for page-oriented DjVu documents. But at least
you can also open djvu photos with it.

Greetings,
Wilfried Huss.

Is there would be a basic djvu kimgio loader, then kuickshow would also be 
able to show those files.

Cheers,

Has the djvu support been added on more recent KDE version? I know that okular should have it. Am I right?

Comment 5 FiNeX 2009-01-31 16:19:55 UTC

@Pino: do you know something about this?

Comment 6 Christoph Feck 2009-10-16 04:55:39 UTC

Okular has djvu support, see KDE/kdegraphics/okular/generators/djvu/

As djvu is intended as a document format, similar to pdf, I doubt that it is useful to have it as an image format. Okular can be used to convert to an image, albeit manually.

We have good djvu support, thumbnails and okular support them.
