"remote controlling" gwenview

[Erich H. Franke]

Hi everyone,



gwenview is really great to show pix locally.



I now need to run a "remotely controlled" slide show to allow to
synchronously change full screen pix on different computers. For this I
wrote a "launcher" with all the network stuff which starts a new gwenview
processes with new pix and kills the no longer needed "n-1" process
automatically.



It runs, but - expectedly - the change from one pix to the next doesn't look
*really* nice. Lots of flicker as expected.



Is there a more orthodox way to change full screen pix from a remote
computer?



Best regards



Erich

I think you could get better results by using dcop (KDE3) or dbus (KDE4)
to trigger the "go_next" action of Gwenview.
