| I've gave KPA latest SVN a try and I'm very happy to see how many
| improvements it has. So, I have to say: ¡Great job and thanks!
Thanks.

| I love subcategories, video support, and the possibility of seeing images
| in natural size just by pressing a key.
|
| However, the only way I can see videos from KPA is invoking an external
| viewer like Xine, Kaffeine, etc. from KPA context menu. But when I try to
| see videos by double clicking on the Thumbnail, I just get a white screen
| and anything goes on.
| I'm able to play videos from Konqueror (on my system double clicking on a
| video file opens an external viewer by default).
| I don't know if KPA expects seeing MPlayer installed on my system. But I
| use Debian, and there is not Debian package for MPlayer due to some kind of
| license problem ( http://people.debian.org/~mjr/legal/mplayer.html ). So,
| the only way is compiling MPlayer from sources.
|
| It seems other people is having problems with video support too. May be the
| solution is to give the user the possibility of choosing an external video
| player to invoke by default when double clicking on video thumbnail.
|
| At the moment, I didn't find any other issue.
I'd rather have the viewer working, but this is indeed a possibility I'll 
consider.
Please remind me about this when we get closer to a release, say in a month or 
so.

| ¡Congratulations again!
Thanks again.
