issue opening a file from "emelfm" program

[JunkYard]

greetings!

So i have a PNG or JPEG file that i want to open from emelfm

I double click on the file and a message comes up at the bottom of the screen with

sh: fl_picsee: not found
---end of out put---

It should be in flpicsee.tcz

Though I haven't tested it. My two tinycore installs are x86_64 and armhf, and flpicsee seems to be only shown for x86 and aarch64.

Unless of course you get the cpp script for it and build it yourself and put under ~/.local/bin

If I try to build flpicsee for x86_64 I get this:

Code: [Select]

flpicsee.cpp:779:25: error: 'abs' was not declared in this scope
  779 |                     if (abs(dragx - Fl::event_x()) < 3 && abs(dragy - Fl::event_y()) < 3) {

If I add "#include <cmath>" or "#include <cstdlib>" or "#include <stdlib.h>" the build suceeds, but flpicsee segfaults

Hi Juanito
I don't think flpicsee is a requirement:

... sh: fl_picsee: not found
---end of out put---

That's coming from a script, not emelfm.

You can change the default image viewer it uses. I think it's
something like  Right click file name->Properties ....

Sure, but it would be good if we could have flpicsee for x86_64

i dont know weather to proceed any more with this!
But that box with the error code is now missing!
I can load a text file but not an image file

Hi JunkYard
You already installed gpicview:

Code: [Select]

Start emelfm
Click on the  Configure  button
Select  Filetypes
Under  Description  select  Image Files
Click  Edit
Click  Add
In the  Command  field enter  gpicview
Click  Ok
Under  Actions  select  gpicview
Click  Set Default
Click  Done
Click  OK
gpicview is now the default image viewer.
Double click on an image file and it should open automatically.
