Is there a fast easy way to make images into PDF's? Something that does it
from within Konqueror would be ideal. I'm sure there must be something, but
I can't find it.
KDE3 had kim, which added some image functions to konqueror's menu -- format
convert, resize, and some other stuff. But it doesn't seem to be there in
Trinity.

I hope you find kim again. I can remember when I found that app it was one of the
most useful I'd ever used and *still* use it to this day even though I'm not
using
Trinity.

I still use it too, on one machine that still had KDE3. If you ever have to
convert or resize images, it's way easier & faster than loading up Gimp or
something.
It turns out, kim can still be downloaded for KDE3 (download link just below
the description & changelog):
http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=11505
What would it take to make it work in Trinity? Any chance of getting it in
the repo?

Hello,
it looks like "kim" is a set of shell scripts that invoke external
programs (gimp, imagemagick, ghostscript ...). There is nothing to
compile, in fact, there is no dependency to KDE libraries ...
So it should be very easy to make it work in Trinity. It's just a matter
of packaging.

This is an interesting point of why Linux is going to hell in a handbasket.
I had used KDE for about 10 years when it forked into KDE4, which was like
going through a hurricane. Most of my favorite tools were either gone, or
did not work any more. Imagine what it would be like if we had as many
kernels (and kernel-builders competing with one another) as we have
desktops. Doesn't anybody understand entropy?

I noticed that after my last post. Looking at the install scripts and the
relevant directories, it looks like it wouldn't be too hard to put
everything in the right place in a TDE system, but it would be nice to have
it in an easily installable package. Maybe it can happen for R14?

What are you talking about? Kim works fine in any distro of Linux. TDE isn't a
'distro' per se and as someone else pointed out it could still work relatively
easily in TDE.
Linux is about choice and the freedom of it. I *like* that there are so many
distro's to choose from. Without that kind of choice, it'd be like grocery
shopping for bread and all you get to choose from is white or wheat. If Linus
didn't want people to use it and make it into what *they* wanted, he'd have
slapped a EULA on it like that garbage OS M$ and been done with it.

Excuse me! I didn't mean to trip the mine of Stallman's dogma. I was merely
pointing out (in favor of TDE, which saved my project from 10 years of work
down the drain) that when a midstream OS team arbritrarily forks a fully
functioning system for some new cosmetic reason (e.g. "plasma") without
offering an alternative, it disrupts a whole host of further downstream
work that these OS folks seem not to have a clue about. I happen to head
one of those kinds of projects, which is about 10 floors above the desktop
mezzanine and the kernel basement. Just finding a stable architecture upon
which to build my penthouse has been almost impossible. KDE4 was like 9/11
to me. We have over 200 balkanized strains of Linux superstructure now. I'm
simply seeking a way out of the chaos. M$ is like another planet. It
doesn't bear mentioning. I would just like to see TDE-Ubuntu, TDE-Debian,
TDE-CentOS, TDE-Suse, and maybe a couple of others carry on the KDE3
tradition. 200 strains is anarchy, Diversity can be a killer of forward
progress.
