Description Elmar Stellnberger (AT/K) 2007-08-09 11:50:47 UTC

Version:           3.5.7 "release 64.1"  (using KDE 3.5.7 "release 60.1" , openSUSE )
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.16.27-0.9-default

If KView offered a command line option to replace the image of an already running instance instead of opening a new window with the new image this would make it very easy to use Kview for browsing and searching in large picture archives: Use konqueror to locate an image file and use Kview to present the picture in detail (evtually on a TV / an external monitor). A button in the toolbar of kview which will make new pictures to be viewed in the current instance if activated would even be more usable than a simple command line switch.
  Picture viewing programs do not offer a comparable functionality, because they are made for prepared presentations rather than picture browsing. The current Konqueror plugin does not allow to view the pictures on another screen and does not support image scaling well enough.

Kview is no more mantained/developed. This bug wish will not be fixed until a new developer will work on it. Moreover this product is not ported to KDE4. On KDE4 it has been replaced by another software. I'm closing this bug as "unmantained". I'm sorry.

Regards.
