Description crusaderky 2003-10-01 15:12:44 UTC
from inside gqview-1.3.2, if I press help->version notes or help->keyboard shortcuts, I get
"can't load: /usr/share/gqview/README"

the obvious workaround is typing "gunzip -cd /usr/share/doc/gqview-1.3.2/README.gz | less" in any terminal.

A gentoo-specific patch should be written, changing fopen, fread etc. with gzopen, gzread equivalents and using the correct path. It should be quite simple and fast to do.

Fixed in CVS.  Thanks for the bug report.

Exclude README from compression

I can reproduce this with gqview-2.1.5-r1 (so, please reopen). For a quick fix, this patch adds the installed README to the compression exclusion list.
