Re: [E-devel] image loading questions
Cool, glad to hear you guys think memory loading is a sane idea! haha, that is funny that we came up with the same plan, CodeWarrior. I'll try to come on IRC sometime again to disucss it further. :) On 7/16/07, Cedric BAIL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Monday 16 July 2007 12:26:51 Hisham Mardam Bey wrote: > > On 7/15/07, Eric Wasylishen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi, I have a few questions related image loading. > > > > > > One thing I'm working on is an xmms2 client using ETK/evolve.

Re: [E-devel] new project for e17
I think a networkmanager module for e17 would be fantastic. IMO, networkmanager is a great example of technology "just working." There are some docs and examples in their svn: http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/NetworkManager/trunk/ The client part just needs dbus, and since e already uses e_dbus that dependency wouldn't be a problem.

[E-devel] image loading questions
Hi, I have a few questions related image loading. One thing I'm working on is an xmms2 client using ETK/evolve. I'd like it to show album cover art; the way the xmms2 client lib handles this is it gives you a pointer to an image file that was copied in to memory but not decoded. People using gtk have a function in gdk_pixbuf for this, which automatically determines the image format (probably jpg or png for covers) and decodes it, but as far as I can tell imlib2/evas lack this feature? (though I noticed epeg can load a jpeg file from memory.) One option I though of is just copying the loader code for say JPG and PNG from evas or imlib2 in to my app, and modifying it to do what I need. Or, would loading images from memory be useful enough to go in evas or imlib2? Another project I'd like to do is an image viewer where image loading doesn't block the GUI. After some reading my plan is to write a daemon which loads the image data in to shared memory for the gui app to access, though I'm not sure what advantages/disadvantages this would have over doing it in a thread. To get the best performance possible, I want it to load jpg's at a reduced size (epeg and evas can) and be able to cancel loading an image (only imlib2 can?) So far the best solution I can see is to use epeg and imlib2. Any better ideas? I greatly appreciate any tips or advice.. thanks :) - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML. No limits.

[E-devel] TODO item(s) need clarification.....
On my computer, I found raising the framerate to 60 or more in the performance configuration makes the sliding much smoother, even with dropshadows still on. Firefox still lags quite a lot though, but disabling dropshadows makes it slide smoothly too. I guess Firefox takes too much CPU to redraw its window.
