Hello,

1. Can someone build kuickshow? If so, how?
2. Can we please archive https://invent.kde.org/graphics/kuickshow ?

Thanks.

Technical details:

Maybe I got something wrong, but.

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/kuickshow seems to depend on imlib1 . Which
is https://download.gnome.org/sources/imlib/1.9/ imlib-1.9.15.tar.bz2 667.2
KiB 2004-Sep-24 14:45

imlib1 is no longer packaged by Debian or Ubuntu. I cannot build it from
source code "load.c:579:3: error: too few arguments to function
'DGifCloseFile'", "load.c:194:21: error: invalid use of incomplete typedef
'png_struct' {aka 'struct png_struct_def'}".

In fact kuickshow is a wrapper around imlib1/imlibwidget.cpp.

https://docs.enlightenment.org/api/imlib2/html/ says "Imlib 2 is the
successor to Imlib. It is NOT a newer version - it is a completely new
library.", "Date: 1999-2004". So, Rasterman is trying to replace imlib1
with something better since 1999.
