One thing that I have found very useful in KDE3 was
the ability to view and
use medical image file formats (MRI,CT,etc..). The
functionality is provided
through libksquirrel. However, the xmedcon library must be
present on the system
for libksquirrel to provide this capability. I have tested
and built xmedcon
with current (bleeding edge) libraries and it works fine.
For TDE to be able to
handle medical image formats -> that's a pretty good
feather in it's cap :)

--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--libdir=/usr/lib
make
Simple build. I'll test later today or tomorrow. I'll
have to pull CTs from
closed files to test with the medical images, but I don't
anticipate problems.
There are a few other file formats that I have to
work on (CAD DXF, etc..),
but I would like to see TDE ship with all capabilities
working (or at least be
able to have all of them working)
Nice ideas. :)
Looks like xmedcon is actively maintained. As Trinity provides libksquirrel and ksquirrel
packages, seems a how-to article in the community section of the wiki is appropriate for
providing this type of extended support.
