It is still there.

Make sure Edit > Extensions > Slideshow is enabled.

Also, the appropriate clutter libraries need to be present at compile time. Read the output of autogen or configure carefully when compiling.

I haven't compiled it, the ubuntu packagers did :)
is the slideshow plugin enabled by default? (I'm assuming yes, if the clutter libs are there)

If so, I'll file a bug on ubuntu's package.

I can confirm this bug as I suffer from it since few updates back in the upcoming Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.

Would be great to have this fixed until the final version is released (in a few days).

Thanks for you great work! I love gThumb and always will ;)

P.S. I've confirmed the bug in Launchpad, but see no activity there...do you have any possibility to push the Ubuntu packagers?

Well, it seems as if it was deactivated downstream because gthumb wasn't being smart about its clutter dependency (ie: crashing/refusing to start, instead of just ignoring the plugin). Don't know if that's really a packaging problem or if something can also be done upstream (here).

It would be helpful if someone could test the latest version in git on Ubuntu, without clutter, to see if it works properly now. I suspect this has been fixed.

I can, could you please tell how? Shall I exclude the clutter support for compilation?

And what shall I report?

Michal,

Yes, exclude the Clutter support for compilation.
Remove the libclutter-gtk-0.10-dev package.
Run autogen again.
The end summary should tell you that the Clutter support is off.
Compile and run.
Report if any crash (or not)

Thanks,
Matthias
