Okular and Ligature
by superstoned on Monday 13/Nov/2006, @02:49

just checked them both. Ligature is seriously faster than Okular, and it's text selection works. on the other hand, Okular has the annotations and stuff (tough it's not that great yet, and slow). Okular shows nicely with a red square where you are in the document, but the thumbnail preview 'jumps' while it moves smoothly in Ligature.

now there's the darwinian stuff, and anyone should work on whatever he/she likes, but it both apps are so much alike in interface and everything, it's not funny anymore. i wonder how much code they share?

I know when okular was started as a summer of code project, there was no interest in sharing code with what now is called Ligature (great name, btw). i think that was a missed opportunity. but guys, can't you talk again? those apps don't just have an overlapp (eg Krita and Gimp) but they are really really almost the same. now okular wants to get in kdegraphics, but i would say NO. sorry, but two apps, not just DOING the same, but also LOOKING the same and WORKING the same is just plain silly. one of the two can get in, and Ligature was simply first...

Status of Kat
by TH on Thursday 16/Nov/2006, @18:10

I saw the program Kat listed under the buzz section of this digest, however, according to kat's wikipedia article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kat_Desktop_Search_Environment ), the project is dead.

Which makes me wonder, what exactly is the current status of kat?
