About ShowImg...
---------------
ShowImg is a feature-rich image viewer which can display numerous formats,
including JPEG, PNG, GIF (animated) and MNG. It consists of a tree view frame,
a directory/preview frame, and a view frame. The (larger) view frame can be exchanged
with the (smaller) directory/preview frame. It can preview and display images from
multiple directories and search for identical images. ShowImg also features a full-screen
mode, zooming, sorting, drag'n'drop with Konqueror, and support for images in compressed
archives (.zip).


install:
--------
	- note : don't forget to export the 'KDEDIR' variable. If KDEDIR isnt set
	properly showimg will not install correctly and dialogs will not be
	translated into your language.
	KDEDIR must point to where KDE2 is (_not_ KDE1!)

	For example:
	do 'export KDEDIR=/usr/'     (e.g. for Linux Mandrake)
	do 'export KDEDIR=/opt/kde2' (e.g. for SuSE)

	You may only run ./configure _after_ you have set KDEDIR correctly.
	or 'export KDEDIR=/usr/' (for Linux Mandrake for example).

	- (see INSTALL)
	- The binary file in in the directory './showimg/' and named 'showimg'
	- You can install it with 'make install'

usage :
-------
        showimg : just launch it !
        showimg fileName : launch ShowImg and display the picture named 'fileName'
        showimg dirName : launch ShowImg, and display the pictures in the 'dirName' directory
