Text documents - I vote kwite over kate. If you are
clicking on a
text file 99
times out of 100 you are doing it to open a single text file and
not something
to include in a project.
Images - open in kview (fast as lightning - not the best on
autozoom with middle
mouse, but a reasonable trade-off, gwenview KolourPaint,
ShowPhoto, Krita, etc.
are all more full featured apps, better for working with multiple
images, but
slower with more overhead.
Sound files - Noatun or kaboodle (for same reasons) amarok, etc.
are more full
featured, but much slower/larger (Noatun slightly more file
formats supported)
Videos - mplayer or kaffeine. kaffeine much faster, but mplayer is
not a bad 2nd.
What are your thoughts?
Ask 10 people and likely we'll receive 11 opinions.
All defaults have to be with the base packages. Anything in
applications is not a base package.
kwrite as the default editor is fine although I use both a lot and
have them configured differently.
I'm a long-time tdegraphics/kuickshow user. I even have a command
line alias 'ks' so I can quickly view images that I search for
within the terminal.
Do the base Trinity packages include a video player? I don't think
so. MPLayer? Not a Trinity app. Kaboodle is labeled a media player
but I am unable to open any video files. Only sound files. Kaboodle
should at least fail gracefully with a dialog rather than just
there like a dead log and require forced termination and we should
change the About dialog to Audio Player.

kuickshow is fine - works very well and it 'fast', so I'm good with that.

I don't know of a default video player. There must be one, I've just never run
across it. Will look and see if I find anything.

does.

Hmm. I tried playing a .mov file in noatun and it would not play at all. The
handbook says noatun is an artsd synthesizer sound app. What kind of video can
you play in it?
I've had success with 'xine' 'kmplayer' (very slow) 'mplayer'
(ok but full
screen) and 'kaffeine"
Of all the players, 'xine' and 'kaffeine' provided the best windowed
video,
'mplayer' provided the best full-screen playback.
I guess 'xine' is installed as a dependency to the kmplayer build, but on its
own is a good player -- much faster than kmplayer -- that's for sure...
