After my moaning on the expert list about having to use win4lin to print
photos, Angelo pointed
me at GwenView. At first sight this is yet another album-creating photo
management application, but it's remarkably flexible, thanks to a number of
plugins. Today I have for the first time used it to print a batch of 24
photos, four to a page. There is a good print wizard where you can see
exactly which photos you're going to print. Inevitably there was going to
be some cropping, and I was a little apprehensive about this, but as the
wizard progressed I found that I could move the cropping on each photo
individually, to make the best result. That is very neatly done - the same
effect as on my windows app, but neater. Finally, the printout - the
results are good - better than the previous set of the same pictures,
produced on the other app. Best of all, I printed all 24 photos in one
print job, whereas the other app could only handle one page at a time.
10/10 to the developers. If you like photo work, try this app out. (Yes
I'll put a copy of this on the TWiki under Desktop Apps <g>)

Do you think a newbie could learn it. I muck about with photos in Windows.

I hope so Rosemary, 'cause I'm looking at things now.
What the plugins are and where to find them eludes me at this time but I've twigged that to get plugins sorted I will NOT be installing gwenview by urpmi.
I believe I need to compile it from source with the kipi option ( "--enable-kipi" ) having first installed the libkipi0, and for safety, I'm installing the libkipi0-devel also. Both these by urpmi anyway.
I went here to find that out. http://gwenview.sourceforge.net/overview
I will possible need to wait for the TWiki posting to find out what the traps are 'cause the home site seems devoid of Documentation at present. ( Or I haven't looked hard enough yet.)
