@Gerry: There is no printing.

@Muggins:
- Help-File: I thought it has to be /usr/local/share/fotox but i will have a look at this later on and post it here.

- pdf: I noticed this too. I will have a look at it and if it's that easy to change, i will post a revised version later.

@Muggins

help file has to be in: /usr/local/share/doc/fotox/

icon in desktop-file: i'm using fluxbox in an 'frugal' way (no desktop, no icons). so i've simply forgotten this part.

pdf-support: which program will i have to use to change the code?

thanks
aragon

Gerry,

If you're after an image viewer that has printer functionality, from my little survey, your options are:

1) gimp...but not the version you downloaded that wasn't working.

2) mtpaint-v3.20...which can print via gqview or, with some tinkering, commandline parsing of the image to postscript.

3) gqview by itself

4) danpei does have a commandline printer script, but it needs installing convert from ImageMagick.

5) Iv has a printer option

6) Yoltia also has a printer option.

7) I've run out of other options...but watch this space...I see someone has forked gqview & has a sourceforge site for geeqie. I'm just downloading the alpha source to see how it's different from gqview.

Muggins- ttuuxxx's GIMP 2.4.5 pet prints nicely on Puppy 301 now that I've restored the machine-id file that had gone AWOL. No news about the GIMP 2.4.? that appears in the Dingo-a7 pet-get list.

GQview I know and like- prints beautifully in 214R.

New attempt: Fotox 0.37

With some help of Muggins i repackaged Fotox 0.37:

- Installs now on /usr/... as this is the path Muggins used for his packages
- Desktop-File now has an icon
- Help-Button will now also work with epdfview and gsview (if the docs-package is installed)
- New seperate Doc package

The Docs-package can be found at: http://www.tdk-net.de/puppy/fotox_docs-0.37.pet (1.1 MB)

For exif-support exiv2 is needed.

Hope this one's better.

Thanks for improvements to Muggins.

I tried fotox-0.37.pet and it has potential but it wouldn't let me make a 16x16 icon from a 48x48 icon, it stops at 20x20 for some strange reason, I tried it a couple of times.

hi ttuuxxx,

i don't think that this is (and will ever be) the right utility for your task.

i wanted to use it as a simple tool to remove red-eyes and to adjust brightness and colors of my digicam-pics.

i tested it a little and it seems to do this job.

as a former windows-user i'm trying to pick-up apps for tasks i've formerly done with windows-tools.

for pics this is (my opinion) not that easy. i've used picasa on windows but this is not the right app for my puppy.

so for now i'm using
- gtkam for transfering
- jhead for renaming based on exif-data
- gqview for viewing
- fotox for 'adjusting'

for all other kinds of image tasks other tools (like your gimp-package ) would be better. but f.e. gimp also is a big and difficult program, so i hope fotox will be sufficient for my tasks.

cheers

hi ttuuxxx,

i like drag'n'drop too, but wouldn't that be a task for image magick?

i think it is able to convert psd-images and it is able to resize.

with 2 little scripts (that i think you are able to write, i'm not ) you might have it as a action in rox => wouldn't this be better than drag'n'drop

@Aragon- what do you use for printing?

Gerry

[aragon]

hi gerry,

i don't print images myself. if i wanted them printed out, i go to someone who is specialised => bricks'n mortar...

sorry, i can't help you
