QImageIOPlugin for Qt that provides support for Half-Life and Quake *.spr files.

This plugin is especially useful when using with KDE. After plugin is installed Gwenview should be able to show sprite images.

Note: qhl-mimetypes must be installed in order to provide MIME type definitions, so KDE apps could handle the sprite files correctly. Look at OBS packages. Another note: To enable sprite previews in Dolphin you must enable "Half-Life sprites" in Dolphin General/Previews settings.
