I used to browse the art files with konqueror regularly and konqueror would open the zips like folders and show a preview of the dds files. Now that I use gnome I'm kinda missing that feature. As I've heard on ubuntu it is possible to preview the dds files, but so far I couldn't figure how ubuntu does it.
Has anyone an idea about what package (or maybe just a useflag on gentoo?) I have to install to get the dds previews?
-
Well you could install kuickview anyway... you don't need to exclusively use gnome. I don't know of any gnome apps which can view them.
-
There's a gimp dds import plugin, but that's probably not exactly what you want.
-
Well, installing kuickview requires me to install a lot of kde related dependencies, which am not willing to do for the one thing I need.
I know the gimp dds plugin, but thats not going to give me previews in nautilus either, is it?
I'll look further and if I figure how ubuntu does it I'll give it a shot and post it here. In the meanwhile, if any of you have any idas, please post them too.

/me hands Vonor an opensuse/kde4 live cd ;)
-
I'm guessing you have already tried asking at irc.gnome.org port 6667

Well, I did on freenode in ##gnome :P
Anyways, thanks to weltall I now know that gimp stores thumbnails in ./.thumbnails from where nautilus also loads them.
Doesn't help much for on-the fly thumbnails, but for now I can live with it :)
