I've uploaded zgv v2.5 to sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/Incoming.
New features added:
- Mouse support by Edwin Fong. The mouse driving code is from
'selection' by Andrew Haylett.
- A few other features by Edwin, mostly to do with tagging and
slideshows, such as slideshows from the command line (e.g. 'zgv
~/graphics/*.jpg').
- Windows 3.x BMP support by Carsten Engelmann.
- Zgv will now load pictures in the background. That is, when you
switch to another VC while zgv is loading a picture, it'll keep
loading rather than suspending until you switch back.
- The visual file selector now works in 640x480x16 mode if 640x480x256
is not available. This should be useful for machines with standard
VGA cards rather than SVGA, or for machines with SVGA cards not
supported by svgalib. Assuming there are still any. :-) Due to the
limitation of 16 colours, it operates in greyscale by default,
though a (low-quality) colour option is available. Thanks to Andrew
Haylett for suggesting this feature.
Bugfixes:
- Avoided 'logs you out on exiting zgv' problem with (some versions
of?) bash.
- Fixed 'automatic mode changing from 320x400 and 360x480' bug.
- Fixed 'strange colours' bug with PBM files and vkludge.
- Fixed bug related to '-p' option.
Here's the LSM entry:
