Thanks to the hard work of Ilya Konkov, Gwenview now features nice thumbnail bars. You can find one in the new fullscreen bar:
And an expandable one in view mode:
As a consequence, I removed the “Preview” mode which was redundant. One less icon in the toolbar!

By popular request, I moved the zooming actions to Gwenview status bar and introduced a zooming slider, as can be seen on this shot:
The nice thing about this change is that it removes quite a few buttons from the default toolbar. I am still not sure whether I like it or not, and would [...]

As you may remember, I have been trying to find a Qt/KDE-related, free-software-friendly job for a while. Unfortunately it didn’t work out, so I had to resign myself to look for a more ordinary position.
After publishing my resume on a popular french job website, I got literally overflowed by consulting companies willing to hire me. [...]

Thank you Aaron for the very nice post about Gwenview. It’s true that I, mere mortal, can’t compete with your blogging rate :-). To answer one of the comments in Aaron post: In SVN, Gwenview does feature multiple undo/redo support. No need to fill a wishlist on b.k.o!

I was a bit worried about the way Solutions Linux would go this year. We had no proper booth and I was expecting either no one would find us or we would have to face a mass of angry users coming to us yelling that KDE4 was worse than KDE3.5, destroyed their data, flashed the [...]

So it’s here, KDE 4.0.0 is out. This release has a special meaning for me: it’s the first one to include Gwenview in the kdegraphics module. This means it’s also the first time a new version of Gwenview is released without me building and uploading tarballs and announcing them on various sites, thanks to the [...]

I have been working on improving the thumbnail view appearance lately. I recently added shadows behind thumbnails. It currently looks like this:
I am not totally happy with the shadow generation code. It uses Qt radial and linear gradients, but they do not align exactly (have a look at the corners with KMag to see [...]

A few days ago I committed a feature I have been wanting for a long time in Gwenview: rotating images directly from the thumbnail view. It works this way: when you move your mouse over a thumbnail, a small button bar appears. This button bar contains three buttons: save, rotate left and rotate right.

I worked a bit more on image cropping in Gwenview. The new version no longer uses a floating dialog which was always coming in the way. The content of the crop dialog is now shown in place of the sidebar, as you can see on this screenshot:

I have been working on adding crop support to Gwenview these days. It’s still quite rough, but I am pleased with how it came out. Here is the mandatory screenshot:
As I said, it’s still rough, and I plan to improve a few things, like moving the dialog content to the side bar for example or [...]
