Obtaining dlRaw preview

dlRaw-preview became Photivo: www.photivo.org

Like the SVN version it's published under the GPL version 3 or later, copyright of the changes is held by me. This code is not meant to be clean or stable, use at own risk! You can get the latest version on SourceForge.net. You need the devel packages of

• QT 4.4.3 (qt4-qmake, libqt4-dev)
• Gimp (libgimp2.0-dev)
• Jpeg (libjpeg62-dev)
• Lcms (liblcms1-dev)
• Exiv2 (libexiv2-dev)
• ImageMagick (libmagick++-dev, libmagickwand2)
• ccache
• gcc 4.3 and g++ 4.3

Building on linux is very easy:

• Decompress
• 'qmake'
• 'make'.

Copy 'dlGimp' to your Gimp plugin directory. There is no installing routine yet, so just run from that folder. It can be added to context menu with 'path/dlRaw -i Filename'. Up to now this has been tested only on Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10.

There is an instruction to built it on Windows on brother-john.net, although with the newest code it's a bit out of date. But we also offer a precompiled binary for win32. You can get this binary also at SourceForge.net. Just decompress and use from that folder. As with the source version, it is not stable yet, so use at own risk!

Update for Qt 4.6:

Just download the attached dlInput.cpp, replace the one in the package and recompile. Systems with older Qt don't need this.

Gimp integration:

There are basically two things to do. First copy the gimp plugin 'dlGimp' to your gimp plugin directory. Second, tell dlRaw with which command to start gimp. For this go to the settings tab in dlRaw and set the gimp command to your actual gimp binary. (This should work on linux right out of the box.) Enjoy.
