Installation on Mandrake (Linux)

[mikiwoo]

Hi!

This is my first post here. I just installed XnView on Mandrake 10.0 official (RPM) and everything went fine but now I can not find the software installed in any of the menus.

Where is it? I'm really a novice with linux.

Can someone help me? I have the Windows version and it's great.

Hello.

Here is some info i've post some time ago on the french forum.

It's for adding XnView in the gnome menu. Test Ok under Fedora. Don't know for other distribution (Mandrake) or other window manager (Kde)

Create next files
/usr/share/pixmaps/xnview.png (what you what in a 48x48 image)
/usr/share/applications/xnview.desktop

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Name=XnView
TryExec=xnview
Exec=xnview
Icon=xnview.png
Terminal=0
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Graphics;X-Red-Hat-Base

This file describe an entry in the menu.
You can compare it with a file from another application.
