(solved) Last update broke gqview
« on: February 16, 2013, 04:41:34 PM »
Gqview is one of my most used programs.  I manage my photo library with it and I take lots of pictures.  It's been a faithful friend for years.

I did an upgrade today and see that gqview was removed from my system.   If I try to install it, I get a dependency error.

This is a major thing for me...  Will we ever see gqview on PCLOS?

I had the same reaction that you did, but then noticed the menu entry for Geegie, which I'd never before seen. I quickly went to a directory containing about 30 images, right clicked the first and chose Open With --> Geegie. Big sigh, when I found myself in totally familiar territory. The new name sucks, (Who chose this one, the dev's 5 year old daughter?) but the app seems solid enough.  ;D
