Okular

As I already said, I wanted to work a bit on okular again and I am nearly done now.
Today and yesterday I added support for djvu-files and for Microsoft's Compressed HTML Help (chm) to okular. For both libraries there are now two patches for making them build with CMake ;-).
The library of djvu seems to work fine, chm has some problems with zooming though. I am not sure whose problem this is, but definitely that will need a clear head so I won't look at it now.

Another new feature will follow tomorrow: I asked my distro to package libopenjpeg for me and that guy was really nice and will make the openjpeg packages available tomorrow. Right after that I will follow with new poppler packages I think.
For all those waiting already, I am planning to make up a tutorial of how you can easily build a custom CD with your favourite KDE on Windows applications so that they are installable on their own.

It would be nice to see SyncTex in a future Okular version ( http://itexmac.sourceforge.net/SyncTeX.html ) in order to use it with kile. Are there any plans to implement it?

no, the author of okular just told me that there aren't any plans at the moment.

I don't understand you. You said "I added support for djvu-files". I downloaded some djvu file and I am able to open it in Okular without any problem. So I think Okular supports djvu already. Or...?
I have KDE 4.1.3, Okular 0.7.3 in PC-BSD

Marian:
of course there is support for djvu under all *nix-operating systems. But not for the windows port - which I am working on;-).

SaroEngels: Oh, thank you for explaining. I didn't know it, because I came here from Akgregator and I've seen only this one spot :-)
