    Annoyed at the lack of directory image browser for Konqueror and the primitive image viewer I turned Gwenview into a Konqueror KPart. You can get it from kdeextragear-1 CVS, all comments are welcome.

    In my very humble opinion this is much nicer than the existing Konqueror image part which doesn't fit-to-window for example that it should be a part of the main KDE install or at least kdegraphics. Also the existing image browsers in kdegraphics seem to be past their best.

    I Agree

    Gwenview should be transfered to kdenonbeta ASAP, and should be THE image viewer in the next KDE release. There is no need for two imageviewers with a lot of feature overlap, and neither with decent directory browsing in kdegraphics.
    And let me extend this comment to risk saying that acting as a KPart is the first step for an app into KDE profissionalism.

    Don't move

    There is no need to Gwenview to kdenonbeta since it's already part of kdeextragear-1. :-)

    Screenshot?

    Again, though it may seem trivial to imagine it, for those who don't compile CVS snapshots a screenshot is really nice just to see progress.... please :)
