Re: [Workerfm-users] xli version with imlib2

[Folsk P. <fol...@co...>]

In my experience just using the 'display' from imagemagic was a much
more painless experience short spending maybe an hour writing preview
scripts. -auto-orient is highly relevant to you exif rotation handling.
It also handles much more image formats. And it doesn't cost that much
since you install imlib2 anyway. I wanted to bully feh into doing the
thing but for some bizarre reason it complains about bad X window or
whatever and doesn't work with worker, even though its --window-id
option is supposed to work. FWIW it does work with xsecurelock.
