Hi Carsten.
Are you subscribed to debian-kde? And BTW, did you rececieve one email I sent
you on 25-02-2009?
The most important thing I said then, is that I set up a page on Userbase:
http://userbase.kde.org/KuickShow

Great! I found it very usable, yes. My only problem so far, is that I mostly
use KuickShow started from another application (a file manager, o clicking a
link in KMail, etc.), and when I test it from the command line making it open
a new file (instead of opening first the filemanager), mouse and keyboard
have no effect.

I will start learning again how to package. Last time I did one, it was a KDE3
app, so many things are different. I will ask the KDE maintainers, though,
maybe they prefer to add KuickShow to their package list, specially if you
plan to add it again to kdegraphics at some point.
Two small thoughts:
- The version in the 3.5 branch is 0.8.13, while in trunk is 0.8.7. ;-)
Is not a serious issue, since the packaged version doesn't have to match that.
- Do you plan releasing a tarball?

Yes, I subscribed to it this morning.
Thanks a lot for KuickShow!
And by the way, if you want me to do some junior job, tell me. I found that
there are simple things that I could try, like porting code that uses Qt3
layout classes. I also found that at least some code is not used
(mainwidget.*, if I looked properly). I just don't dare to touch a thing. I
don't want to do something wrong. :)
