doug/dmildram, former WPI dude/netops but now in Maine>
Just wanted to say .............(yea right, as I type a long windy rant)
...............the effort+result of everyone's contributions
are truly "all good" and appreciated!
yes, jitsi totally rocks from my limited-use view.
Recorded meetings are very cool!
Both my 2 piles of PICtures/jpg's , as well as the muzak/mp3's
in my personal/(~20-40g) stash of precious/home data....
are indeed in need of a brainy front end. Hating Rhythmbox front end for mp3's
though it plays all my mp3's correctly w/o weird play/stutter,etc issues.
I know there's a slew of media players, both audio and image/video. And,
I do love vlc , yet need to learn more of its capabilities and improve my ease of use,
plus fix my command-line-launch no-go/problem I'm having.
(AUDIO only of course? I'm seeing that vlc even gets into images.....)
but will not divert into an audio whine/discuss here. FOR PICTURES:
I don't know you, for example, Lexi who just posted/replied re: fotoxx,
but I really dug your DIY-brain story, building from source,
= how we/dinosaurs used to do stuff until it got harder over decades :)
Back to PICS/IMAGES pursuits in detail,
fotoxx seems to be a viewer (mostly?)
for a personal stash/giant-or-smaller-album.
Can it auto-or-manually tweak/compress jpg's to save space without losing much quality?
(I'm gimp-ignorant...gimp probably does,
it's obviously a tweaker not viewer? tool, i.e. ...one image at a time.
Tangent or not: I hated myself for continuing to use
a windows program (ACDsee, i bought a license decades ago,
back when you could buy a cheap license)
...........which very quickly cropped+downsized images
greatly like 5-10x smaller. Being MB-stingy,.I got into the habit of trimming saved-pics.
Until I admitted it was too much work, cuz i never learned to trim easily on linux ...
Hated myself cuz I'm almost done w windozeMS but for 1 or 2 things!
(last to die in my world, win7 for me == important for tax-filing software.
Well, i rambled too much.
Welcoming more pics/images/fotoxx feedback though.
I'm gonna dig into fotoxxx pretty soon i think.
Since there's no recording of this week's meeting,
maybe we can be a bit noiser on the list this month! -- doug
