BUG Cant install this version https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487288

How to install?

9 Manjaro 20.1 (KDE): - install https://github.com/caco3/kim5 - sudo ./install.sh - sudo pacman -S imagemagick - sudo pacman -S kdialog

9 9 excellent

Since the project is no longer maintained, I started a clone of it and started porting it to KDE5 under https://github.com/caco3/kim5

9 thx

This is how to get KIM working on the latest version of KDE/Plasma Download as usual, extract the folder and instead of executing install.sh run the following commands: sudo cp src/kim_*.desktop /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ sudo cp src/bin/kim_* /usr/bin/ sudo chmod a+rx /usr/bin/kim_* sudo chmod a+r /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/kim_*.desktop sudo mkdir /usr/share/kim sudo cp COPYING /usr/share/kim/kim_about.txt sudo mkdir /usr/share/kim/slideshow/ sudo cp src/slideshow/* /usr/share/kim/slideshow/ sudo mkdir /usr/share/kim/gallery sudo cp src/gallery/* /usr/share/kim/gallery

Please make a Dialoge-Field, where you can enter the size of the Border which should be added to the image. At the momemnt, you can only choose black or white border, but not the size!

Would be fine, if you'll add a option, to convert an ordinary jpg to an progessive loding one.

Befor, i still posted this Script, wich expand an image, keep ratio, and if Ratio not fit, add the background-colors to those edges are not ratio.

For some time, files converted from jpg to pdf have been much inflated : for example, a 600 Ko jpg file becomes a 5,5 Mo pdf file. It used to work well before, pdf size was the same than jpg size. I know that kim lies on imagemagick, but I do not know where to configure default settings of imagemagick. Or maybe, can one fix it in kim settings ? and how to do that ? Any idea ? Thanks for help.

does this work with newer versions of kubuntu? i can't seem to find and install with the services download new services option on dolphin in 13.04. tahsnk, jetpeach

Been a fan of this app for years. It's simple, intuitive and just plain works.

Is there a package for ubuntu 12.04 somewhere ? If not could someone do one ? The latest i have found is for Hardy : http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/konq-kim

I love KIM, in fact I just installed it on my rebuilt LMDE + KDE 4.8.4 box because I realized I missed having it. I'm finding that I can find some wallpaper images that are 1680x1050 that I want to resize to 1440x900. It's a direct resize and I know I could just let KDE resize it on the fly but I like to have my wallpaper images sized for my screen in case a wallpaper change comes when I'm already pushing my CPU pretty hard. Would it be possible to add 1440x900 to the list of available image resize sizes?

Hy can you add support 3d files ? there is main .mpo format and very offen users convert it to anagliph : here is example http://www.3df33d.tv/conversion-of-fujifilm-w1-w3-mpo-files-on-mac-or-linux-for-3df33d and very nice if you add convert 3d avi video file (stereo) to anagliph. thanks

Hy i try install it from dolphin services menu - add new -> kim -> install = install ok but kim dont show...

And here the excatly code to spread images....

I need to spread an image to another size, without to resizing it. So it can be done on this way: 1) Create a Border for the Image with same Backgroundcolor (would be fine, if your KIM-Border-Function had an inputfield to insert the size of the border!) 2) Croop the Image to the new Size Best way, you add this new feature to your KIM Programm to make all those steps with one klick. Click Spread-Image >> Enter needed Image-SIZE (must bigger as actual imagesize) >> Choose needed Color This are the lines, which made it: (Spread an image from 600x450 to 610x460) : mogrify -border 500 -bordercolor "#ffffff" test.jpg convert test.jpg -gravity Center -crop 610x460+0+0 +repage croped.jpg
