Re: KuickShow for KDE 2.1

I tried Imlib2 (final) for enlightenment-0.17 (alpha version) and I can tell you that it's a lot faster than gdk-pixbuf and imlib1.

Imlib2 is appreciate on my slow computer ;-)

Ohh, Imlib2 is already released? Not a beta? I will certainly use that in the next versions, then.

Cheers,

Imlib2 1.0.0 was realeased on October 16, 2000.
the latest one, Imlib2 1.0.2 was released on March 2, 2001
More details here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/enlightenment/
and there
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2

Also, avoiding Imlib (1) is good because it's not really maintained, and there has been a fork between Gnomers' version and Raster's version, so getting help for might not be easy in the future.

Concerning speed of Imlib2... for Enlightenment it might make a difference, due to all the effects, animations etc., but in an imageviewer it does not make a big difference. I did a quick port of KuickShow to Imlib2 and it's not obviously faster.

Don't get me started on the new API :-/

Regarding Imlib1: I've been using many versions and the only requirement ever was to use a version >= 1.5. The Xlib version hardly got any changes at all. That said, I do have problems with 1.9.8 under Openwin (Solaris7) currently :}
