1.0b

Note : Because of various internal modifications, this is intended to be a beta release. So it's possible that KImageMapEditor may crash and/or the content of the currently editing html file could be corrupted or be lost at all. KImageMapEditor therefor creates a backup file everytime you save an html file. It ends with a ~. Please only delete this file if you are sure that the original file isn't corrupted.
  • New features :
    • Converted the program to the KPart architecture, it can now be used as an imagemap viewer plugin in Konqueror or as an edit plugin in Quanta.
    • It's now possible to really edit a html file instead of creating always a new one with only one imagemap.
    • Added a listview of all imagemaps of the current editing html files. It's now possible to switch between the different maps, to delete maps and to add new maps to the html file.
    • Added a listview of all images that are contained in the current html file. It's now possible to switch between these images.
    • Spanish translation - Thanks to Antonio Crevillén
  • Bug fixes :
    • When KImageMapEditor was not properly installed with make install and the required image files couldn't be found, KImageMapEditor now shows an error message and exit(1) instead of crashing.

Compilation and Installation

In order to compile KImageMapEditor follow the steps below :
  1. Download the tar.bz2 file.
  2. Now consider using Kconfigure for very easy installing, or open a console and follow the other steps
  3. Extract it :

    gzip -dc kimagemapeditor-1.0.tar.bz2 | tar -xvf -
    cd kimagemapeditor-1.0

  4. Compile it :

    ./configure
    make

    At this point there could have been occured errors .
    If you know you have KDE >= v3.0 and QT >= v3.0.3 installed then
    perhaps the paths are not set correctly .

    Try to run configure with the parameters

    --prefix=[your KDE 3.0 path] , for SuSE e.g :

    ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3

    for RedHat and Mandrake try :

    ./configure --prefix=/usr

    --with-qt-dir=[your QT 3.0.3 path] , e.g :

    ./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt3

    If you want to compile a KDE2 version make sure you have not installed autoconf 2.50 or newer !
    You need autoconf 2.13 to compile the KDE2 version. You can download autoconf 2.13 at www.gnu.org

     

  5. Install it :

    make install

  6. Run it :

    kimagemapeditor
