KGCM File
Overview
KGCM File is a plugin for KDE3 that displays information about .gcm (Gamecube Disc Image) files as metadata. It will decode known IDs to relavent names, and parse the opening.bnr file for the banner image and additional game information.
Known Bugs
The banner image is not displayed as the file's thumbnail. It's more of an unimplemented feature, really, but I've bashed my head over it long enough that it should be working...
Installation
Simply download it from here, extract it, then run the standard ./configure, make, and make install (make install may need root priviledges).
You will also need to add the correct mimetype for GCM files. You can do this by following these instructions:
- Open the Control Center, and navigate to File Associations under KDE Components.
- Click Add... under the main list.
- Select the group "application" and for the Type name, put "x-ngc-rom" (without quotations).
- On the new entry, click Add... in the Filename Patterns section.
- Add the extension "*.gcm" (without quotations).
- Put in whatever you feel like for the Description and icon.
- Click Apply, then close the Control Center.
Note that if you add the mimetype before installing the plugin, you may need to force KDE to update the system configuration so it will properly recognize the new plugin. You may also have to restart running applications to see the new plugin.
