VSIDO Changes Area

[hakerdefo]

Cannot check ATM. I gave my cameras away to one sister and a friend a while ago and my crap cell phone is like 8 years old. Not RAW available,

Regarding viewers, The only thing that somewhat annoys me is cropping on the fly. Crap in mirage and none in geeqie (or haven't found it). Still having to open the slow Gimp, but aside of that, geequie is really feature rich and not much extra dependencies needed. I really like it. Though maybe for the Vsido default apps Mirage is more than enough and doesn't pull any extra package.

Hey there Snap,
Want an image viewer with basic image editing support? Here is a nice one with GTK interface,

Code Select Expand


sudo apt-get install viewnior


And here is a cute one with Qt,

Code Select Expand


sudo apt-get install phototonic


GIMP too slow and complicated for simple image editing tasks? Here is an alternative,

Code Select Expand


sudo apt-get install pinta


Try them this weekend and give your valuable feedback.

Cheers!!!

Ah, yes, pinta. Thanks, hackerdefo. It's nice and great, but I always revert back to Gimp besides it takes ages to launch. Viewnior is cool too and it formerly was my togo viewer, but I always revert back to MIrage since I discover it thanks to Vsido.

BTW, geeqie is now in my cool apps list.

Replace xchat with hexchat?

Xchat is apparently deprecated/obsoleted, and no longer a package available in sid or testing. It's been replaced by xchat-gnome (which looks like sh't; gtk3 issue I think). So there won't be any upgrades for xchat.

Hexchat is basically the same program as xchat - as far as user interface goes anyway - and doesn't add much, if anything, if a user replaces xchat.

@PackRat - Simple apt-get away!  That was easy...

Thanks I had heard that about xchat.    I'll give it a try.  I used it on winbloze before...

Been thinking about just doing away with any IRC client since it is one of those that is so subjective in nature...

There is nothing at all binding configuration wise of having any at all...

I say we do away with it completely and let the users decide

[PackRat]

^ That works for me. You're right, it's subjective - like a user's email client.

[jedi]

@PackRat, thanks, have switched to hexchat.  Xchat with a different name...

"fotoxx" is an interesting program which can handle RAW files.

In debian repository, fotoxx version may not be the latest but you can download deb package directly from author's site.

For my default i'll stay with mirage but fotoxx does have a nice featureset.

Welcome to VSIDO ido we hope you enjoy your stay, there is always donuts, cakes and coffee

Great find with fotoxx... interesting tool that looks promising ... my daughter is a professional photographer and we are always looking at these types of tools

I came across the a few years ago now and thought it had potential.
Isenkram

I've only just noticed that it's in the repos. Might be useful to bring the image size down, if fewer drivers are included in the image.
