Yet another example of the usefulness of Easy Debian: On my laptop I've always been using gqview (in lenny) and then its successor geeqie (in the squeeze distribution) as a photo viewer. Now, it just works perfectly with debbie, and I find it quite a bit better than Maemo's native image viewer. At least, it's a useful alternative when the latter turns out wanting.

Borrowing the image viewer icon, one can easily build an additional photo app by a desktop file like

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Geeqie
Exec=debbie "cd /home/user/MyDocs/DCIM;geeqie"
Icon=tasklaunch_photos
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
Terminal=true
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true

(assuming that geeqie has been installed by first activating the squeeze repository and then doing "apt-get install geeqie" from the Debian chroot).
