[Kde-extra-gear] New development release of Gwenview

[Aurelien Gateau]

Hello,

I just released a new development release of Gwenview, version 1.3.91.

It's available from http://gwenview.sf.net

Here is the change list:

## New features:
- Gwenview can now play videos and display SVG files.
 
- It's now possible to create symbolic links from the main menu and from the 
image contextual menu. (Patch by Steffen Schoenwiese)
 
- Zoom has been improved: you can now zoom to to width or height, and a zoom 
combobox has been added to the application and KPart toolbars.
 
- Read support for X cursors has been added.
 
- The slideshow now starts directly. Slideshow options like timing or 
fullscreen can be set from the configuration dialog. (Patch by Martin Filser)
 
- The slideshow now waits for the next image to be fully prefetched before 
advancing.
 
- The main toolbar is much lighter now that the image specific buttons have 
been moved to an image view toolbar.
 
- The file view from the folder KPart now features the same toolbar as in the 
application.
 
- The file view toolbar can now show a filter bar to filter images by name 
and/or date.
 
- The folder view has been reworked (this may not be definitive).
 
## Fixes:
- Significantly improved redrawing speed for very large images.
 
- Removed internal libexif.
 
- Only load KIPI plugins when the "Plugins" menu is opened, for faster startup 
time and less memory usage.
 
- Added a confirmation dialog for the window reset menu and renamed the "File 
Info" window to "Image Comment" (Bug 116791).
 
- Simplified configuration of OSD.
 
- The shadow around the thumbnails has been replaced with a light thin border.
 
- The history of the url bar is now remembered among sessions.
 
- In the print dialog, make it possible to enter rational values for width and 
height.
 
- In the save dialog, always set a filename, even for remote urls (Bug 
102008).
 
- In the image KPart, do not switch to another KPart when using the previous 
and next buttons.
 
- In the image and folder KParts, make sure the context menu is adapted to the 
mimetype.
 
- The folder KPart remembers the width of the file view and uses the same 
configuration as the application (Bug 83343).
 
- In the folder KPart, the "trash/remove" context menu entry has been fixed.


I do not want to announce any date for the next releases, since it's quite 
difficult for me to plan when I can work on Gwenview these days.
