Qt Sprite Image Plugin

QImageIOPlugin for Half-Life and Quake sprites.

This plugin can be installed on KDE4 or KDE5 environment enabling preview of sprite images in Dolphin and Gwenview. Upon installing you should enable Half-Life sprites flag in Dolphin General/Previews settings.

You can download one of deb packages or build and install plugin yourself.
For build instructions visit bitbucket project page: https://bitbucket.org/FreeSlave/qt-sprite-image-plugin/overview

Qt4 and Qt5 deb packages contain only dynamic libraries, so usual Qt applications, that correctly detect and dynamically load Qt image format plugins, should be able to load sprites after installing.

KDE4/KDE5 deb and rpm packages contain dynamic libraries as well as desktop service files necessary to provide support of sprite image format for Dolphin, Gwenview and other applications

Notes:

The plugin does not support Quake II sprites. The way how Quake II sprites are stored does not fit the QImageIOPlugin model well. But since their frames are stored separately as .pcx files, you should be able to view it having .pcx support in your file manager or image viewer.
