It's fixed on GitHub by adding a DEPENDS to the resource generation (tested with -j2 and -j4):

Maybe you can also add an option to increase the size of the shown file name in the upper left corner? Maybe an option to increase all text? And maybe even more than the biggest size now is?

Thanks for the feedback! I think, it'd really be a good idea to be able to adjust the font size of all text in general... I'll look into that! You'll probably be able to see it implemented incrementally in the code on GitHub, as for the next release I'll solely be working on fixing/improving/updating the current feature set.

undefined reference to `Phonon::AudioOutput::AudioOutput(Phonon::Category, QObject*)'
Any ideas?
Report

Can you make sure, that you have Phonon installed on your system?
You could try passing the "-DPHONON=OFF" to cmake before compiling (though this will disable the Phonon features, i.e. playback of music during a slideshow). Starting with the next version 1.1 (which should be coming over the next few weeks), Phonon will no longer be needed, but I'll make use of the Qt5 Multimedia functionality...

Yes, i have install all phonon librares and headers and i have try the "-PHONON=OFF". My sound system is damaged, maybe why.
I did not know, any application can not be installed for this.
Thanks.

Btw: It's "-DPHONON=OFF", don't forget the "D" after the dash "-" (though that might just have been a typo here)...
If nothing works, try passing the above flag to a fresh compilation (i.e. delete "old" build/ folder and re-create it)...

In example:
/home/user/obrázky/foto.jpg -> will not show
/home/user/obrazky/foto.jpg -> will show
/home/user/obrazky/růže.jpg -> will not show
/home/user/obrazky/ruze.jpg -> will show
/home/user/OBRÁZKY/foto.jpg -> will not show
Can you please fix it? As I said, this is amazing and fast viewer, but for now unusable for me because I have very much image names named in Czech.
Thanx :-)

Sorry for the late reply, have been gone on holidays the last three weeks...
Did you try the latest development snapshot? This issue should already be fixed there. You can find the latest code on github: https://github.com/luspi/photoqt
Let me know if that works...
