True. > But in my experience, programmers won't produce documentation even > when they are being paid to do it, Partly true. I think documentation is possible. Its not a nice job to do but it is possible and has its effort. > Line length was important to me when I used 72-character terminals > nearly half a century ago.

Line length is not that important as it was in the past due to wrapping editors. However, it might be important as wrapping do not produce that readable code than manual wrapping can produce. For example if you have a if construct with many conditions it might be error prone to read it if you use automatic wrapping. If you break this expression manual you can group them together in logical parts. > But I do find it very surprising that Geeqie has a non-standard > coding format.

Bad idea as the current code would be globally changed. So that could only help for new code. However, with the most common code beautifiers you can define the style pretty flexible. > Would it be possible for source tars (or even .deb files) of the > latest files to be put on the Geeqie homepage on sourceforge?

Jup, that I was annoyed about once myself.

I was not diving into this part of geeqie too much. There is also one or two other but I did mention about them in earlier mails. > But whatever, when I'm doing this kind of work I have to switch back > to GQview! I did myself. However, as I pushed myself to not doing that, I can normally work well with geeqie. ;-) There is just one case I use an other tool -- xv -- is to view images the fast way as there is no other application than xv out in the wild that is that fast. (See also my own work on xv[0].)
