PSD and XCF howto!

Hey!
It’s been a long time since I wrote something here.

Well, today I’ve been working on gloobus-preview again, and well, I added a couple of things that cahrgr started, like that now plugins can handle key events,

So I added that iDocument and iText now have Pg Up and PG Down, and iText you can make the text bigger or smaller with + and – keys (almost everything thanks to cahrgr)

Then, I had problems with the PSD and XCF loaders a few days ago, and if its your problem you can solve it basically doing this:


sudo rm /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-psd*
sudo rm /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-xcf*


And then going to the download gloobus-preview source

cd src/loaders
sudo cp ./PSD/*.so /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/
sudo cp ./XCF/*.so /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/



gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-psd.so | sudo tee /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loader-files.d/gdk-pixbuf-psd.loaders

gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-xcf.so | sudo tee /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loader-files.d/gdk-pixbuf-xcf.loaders


That’s all!!

I’ll try to add some new things in Gloobus Preview again, so we can improve it even more!

We’re all ears to your suggestions

Covergloobus PPA Problems

Well, it seems that there is something wrong with the covergloobus ppa,
While I try to fix this, here you have the deb packages to install it manually

https://launchpad.net/~gloobus-dev/+archive/covergloobus/+packages

and, you’ll need to install rsvg package too (will be fixed in covergloobus package)

sudo apt-get install python-rsvg

And let me find out why the the ppa is not working…
Sorry!
