(Or as much of the screen as possible, preserving the aspect ratio.) I have quite a few small images on my N900; showing them around on this tiny 3.5" screen isn't a pleasure because the high DPI value of the N900 makes them appear very small. It would be much better if they'd always appear at a zoom level that makes use of the full screen. Nokia refused to implement that (I filed an enhancement request in bugzilla), so I'm looking for alternatives. A working, stable EOG would be a tempting alternative. (Oh, and then there's the TV-out thing... That would be totally new.)

What's that missing feature you have in EOG? Cheers, Hi Oskar,

Yes, I stopped the development of EOG Maemo but you have the code here:

http://git.igalia.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=eog.git;a=summary

It might be a bit of trouble now to apply my changes to the current EOG but nonetheless you can do it.

What’s that missing feature you have in EOG?

Cheers,

The reason I'm asking is that EOG (the desktop version I know) has a feature I really miss in Nokias image viewer and therefore would be the ideal foundation to create *the* ultimate photo viewer for maemo. (See http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/view/make_n900_a_better_photo_viewer/ ) Hi,

What do you mean by they blocking the entire app? Cheers, Hi anon,

How would you suggest it to be done then?

What do you mean by they blocking the entire app?
