It would be nice to have a release coded for linux. Very good program.

This conversation is about the OP wanting source code for parts of IV.

http://www.photography-forums.com/threads/source-code-for-algorithms-used-in-irfanview.80367/ 
  Source code for algorithms used in IrfanView?

"I am trying to add fast resizing/resampling operations to my
application. ...  I am told that the algorithms used by
IrfanView are explained in the book "Graphic Gems III", Edited by David
Kirk, which I managed to find (it is out of print)."

(Apparently he was told by Irfan)

There are many sites which claim to be open source alternatives to IV, 
but they are just the ones with which we are all familiar.

The OP in the linked discussion seemed to like what was at this link 
which was provided in the thread 
http://www.realtimerendering.com/resources/GraphicsGems/  This is the 
official on-line repository for the code from the Graphics Gems series 
of books (from Academic Press). This series focusses on short to medium 
length pieces of code which perform a wide variety of computer graphics 
related tasks. All code here can be used without restrictions.

I don't use Agent, but I use some Win ware under Wine; IV and PDFXcV as 
above, also Steve Gibson's IDServe and DNS Benchmark utilities, SamSpade 
network tool, TextCleaner.

I also occasionally crank up hardware with XP, Vista, or Win7 loaded 
(generally multibooted with linux).  Until recently I didn't have any 
hardware that was well equipped to be running two OS at the same time as 
a VM.  Most of the hardware with Win is 2G ram and slow CPU.  I'll 
probably replace that Vista with something else Win (such as Tiny7 or 
TinyXP) and a linux.

My Dell M4800 is pretty powerful. I noticed on Amazon that they sell 1
TB SSD drives. The Internal type. Not sure if it is m2 or not. It was
less that $400 for the drive. I install guests on that drive. One CentOS
7.2 and one Ubuntu 15.10. So I installed Windows 7 on it for testing. 

What I might want to do is build a powerful machine that just runs
VMWare VMs. Thinking I will try to install OSX in a VM, Windows, and
then various distributions of Linux. Then I'd have one box that I can
run any OS for testing. 

What I do for usenet is I host SLRN on my server. Then I can just SSH
into it and use slrn from anything. I have way too many machines for
myself, it's an addiction, and I didn't want to bother trying to sync
them all for SLRN. So I just host it. Anyone can do the same with
Digital Ocean as well. Get a $5 or $10 a month VPS and just run Linux or
FreeBSD on it. Then install SLRN and you have a central local. It's easy
and it's fast. The only resource it takes on my machine is that of the
SSH terminal connection.

Wrong, dumbfuck.  He ASKED for Linux software equivalents to some Windoze 
crapware.  That's what I gave him.

Go back and look for yourself, feeb, since you snipped it out.

  You missed the first response where the person said that he ran agent

Feel free to use whatever you like. I'd just observe that native apps
often perform better.

I don't use any of the Windows apps you mention. I did use Agent and
Irfanview on Windows in the past, but I don't any longer and I don't
miss them. :)

Oh, man, has that been forever ago.  It's a face, not an xface, that
much I can tell you.

I seem to remember having this discussion with, I think, wildman.  I'm
not sure, though.

It is simply an 8-bit png that is base64 encoded and prefixed with 
"Face:" and place in the header. I was playing around with it but since 
even with my Mnenhy on SeaMonkey I can get X-Face bitmap to show but not 
Face png bitmaps so I did not bother. Don't think many clients support Face

It may, but many do not. It appears that I cannot even add the Face 
header to SeaMonkey.

Thunderbird had/has an extension "Display Contact Photo".

Yes, but I have tested it an it neither displays X-Face nor Face avatars. 
Not sure what avatars it is supposed to display. Maybe those we 
"gravatars"?

For me, it displays Cybe's "Face", and some avatar in your recent post,
as well as one from Wildman's posts. I guess the X-Face does not show -
I see you have both Face and X-Face, like Wildman.

I could only add the Face header in Pan. In SeaMonkey is somehow screwed 
up the headers so I got a NNTP error that the From field was missing. 
Not sure what was the problem there was no characters that need escaping 
<shrug>

Now I have Display Contact Photo extension installed on a Thunderbird 
profile but it only shows a generic...ah, just saw that I have to 
right-click it and change options to to display embedded Face.

So I have confirmed, But not sure it is worth the extra bytes. There is a 
certain charm and challenge in making something legible with the 
restriction of 1-bit color. Kind of like how Doom was so much better with 
what id did with such a restricted engine vs how underwhelming Doom 3 was 
with all the eye-candy and such.
