What's A Better Image Viewer?

Thanks for the advice.  I can view JPG no problem, but I can't view NEF files (RAW images taken when using digital SLR cameras).

Any other ideas?

You can find a decoder for the NEF format and information on applications using it here

As my Z is half broken I cannot try them out myself ...

I have VisualQ, but can you point me to a site that has the qtopia_memoryapplet ipk?

Thanks,

OK, so I downloaded and installed the memory applet, set up a 64Mb swap file on my SD card. Very cool. Thank you!

I then installed VisualQ (v. 0.5.6E), and I can open smaller jpgs just fine, the largest so far being 607Kb.

But when I try to open larger jpg pictures, for instance of my Dad's pocket watch, which are in the range of 2Mb, nothing happens. All I see is a blank palette in VisualQ, and at the bottom left it shows W:0 H:0. Under File Information it says the picture is 0 pixels wide and 0 pixels high, but size is 2071603 bytes.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

gdog

Thanks for that, do you know if there is a version that's already compiled because I'm not familiar with compiling source files.

No I don't know about a compiled package. In order to compile dcraw you need to have the JPEG library (I cannot say if this is available for the Z) and of course gcc (that is part of the Linux in the Z). Then you simply type gcc -o dcraw -O3 dcraw.c -lm -ljpeg in a shell (terminal window) and you get the executable under the name dcraw.

Maybe other people with live Zauri may give more info on this.
