gwenviewui-rc_file_fix [EeeUser Eee PC Wiki]

Alright you configured Gwenview to load the “KIPI Digital Camera interface Plugin”. You thought great now I can connect my camera and download the pictures. You hook up the camera and now what, there is suppose to be a Plugins menu selection there, but it isn't there. You think now how am I going to down load the pictures.

Well it seems that the updated version of Gwenview that Asus provided has a broken gwenviewui.rc file. It is missing the Plugins menu selection in the gwenviewui.rc file.

Let us fix this little blooper that Asus created.

1. Open your File manager and go to here (~ = /home/user) ~/.kde/share/apps/gwenview/gwenviewui.rc and see if the gwenviewui.rc file is there. If it does open it with your favorite editor and get ready to fix it. If not lets copy the one that exists here, /usr/share/apps/gwenview/gwenviewui.rc to the above file path location.

2. Here is what the file should look like.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE gui SYSTEM "kpartgui.dtd">

   <Action name="location_url" />
   <Action name="location_go" />
</ToolBar>

<StatusBar/>

</kpartgui>

3. Look for the section that has this:

A little more than 1/2 way down

   <Action name="bookmarks"/>
   <Menu name="settings">
     <Action name="configure_tools" append="configure_merge"/>
   </Menu>
   <Menu name="window">
     <text>&amp;Window</text>
     <ActionList name="winlist"/>
    <Separator/>
     <Action name="reset_dock_widgets"/>
   </Menu>

4. Insert the below between </Menu> and <Menu name=“window”>

     <Menu name="plugins">
     <text>&amp;Plugins</text>
     <Menu name="kipi_images">
       <text>Images</text>
       <ActionList name="image_actions"/>
     </Menu>
     <Menu name="kipi_effects">
       <text>Effects</text>
       <ActionList name="effect_actions"/>
     </Menu>
     <Menu name="kipi_tools">
       <text>Tools</text>
       <ActionList name="tool_actions"/>
     </Menu>
     <Menu name="kipi_batch">
       <text>Batch Processing</text>
       <ActionList name="batch_actions"/>
     </Menu>
     <Menu name="kipi_import">
       <text>Import</text>
       <ActionList name="import_actions"/>
     </Menu>
     <Menu name="kipi_export">
       <text>Export</text>
       <ActionList name="export_actions"/>
     </Menu>
     <Menu name="kipi_collections">
       <text>Collections</text>
       <ActionList name="collection_actions"/>
     </Menu>
   </Menu>

5. Now save the file and start Gwenview up and the Plugins selection should be there.

Happy file transferring from your camera to your 3ePC.
