Right back atcha good buddy!

Happiest of holidays to all my fellow Devuanites! I hope this season finds you happy and healthy and I hope that continues into a new and prosperous year for all.

Got a new i386 package built for this thanks to fsmithred compiling the binaries for me! Just waiting on a little more testing and then i'll put it up for further testing.

Working on version 3.0-1 now, i've written a little dash/yad script to open an editable text-info window to mod/delete EQ presets in the presets.csv file. Rather than add another button my idea is to take the existing "Save Pre-set" button and change it to "Save/Edit" with a tooltip that explains. So a normal left-click would save a named pre-set as it does now, but a right-click would open the yad window to edit the presets.csv file.

Well I checked the "visit homepage" function for the first time in many years, and it seems to be working at least, that seems handier than just fetching a screenshot.

Or even simpler:

#!/bin/sh

sizebox=$(yad --fixed --borders=10 --window-icon=image --form --title="Resize Image" --field="Resize to:" --width=400 --text-align=center --text="Enter new size (W x H in pixels, i.e. 800x600, 1024x768 etc.)")

size=$(echo $sizebox | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|" } { print $1 }')

if [ -z "$size" ]; then
    exit 0
fi

for file in "$@"; do
    convert "$file" -resize "$size" -set filename:copy '%d/%t-%wx%h' '%[filename:copy].jpg'
done

Combined with a .desktop in your file-manager in the right place:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Action
Name=Resize Image
Comment=Make a re-sized copy of image
Icon=edit-cut
Profiles=resize;

[X-Action-Profile resize]
Exec=sh -c "cd %d && shrink2 %F" 
MimeTypes=image/bmp;image/jpeg;image/png;image/webp;image/heic;image/heif;image/avif;

And now you can just select in the file-manager and right-click. This makes for tiny file sizes and default output is jpg. Easy enough to tweak settings to change any of it.

It will do singles, and it will do batches as long as they're the same format, wouldn't be too hard to make it do mixed batches too though, i'm just lazy lol.

Yep. Have never used it. In general I don't like the idea of clicking external links in programs that want to connect me to gawd-knows-what.

@ilargi
Thank you! And arrrgh, lol, you're right of course...I swear, if I had a dollar for every time I rolled up something and forgot to update all the documentation...seriously, when my wife hears me say i'm about to squash a new Vuu-do iso she always asks if i've updated the release notes.

Will fix that asap. Working on Vuu-do updates this week and i'll get all that sorted too. EDIT: It was bugging me, had another couple spots I hadn't completed the conversion to alsatune as well, so I fixed it and re-packaged and uploaded. Thanks for catching that!!

@Calamity, thank you! There are some nice mixers out there for alsa, just saw a new project somebody did in QT for the mixer and it's really nice and very complete with some features power-users and audiophiles might appreciate.  Mine is a little more simple and pedestrian, but it should get the job done for most folks.

If you want a copy of this, grab it now, i'll be taking both versions down from Sourceforge in the morning.
(versions 1 and 2, naming conflict).

My take on it for what it's worth, i'm fond of analogies as like memes they allow us to impart more info with less words.

I spent many years in various types of construction and fabrication, so that's the basis for this analogy.

Devuan is not a homebuilder, Devuan is Home Depot, with tens of thousands of building materials and tools created by a diverse group of folks worldwide, they provide a range of products to cover almost any need, while also trying to filter out the bad products that try to sneak in.

I, as a person creating a distro, am the homebuilder. It is my job to be architect, designer, general contractor, carpenter, plumber, electrician, and to provide a finished ready-to-move-in home.

That's as simple as I can make it, to me Devuan is Home Depot, and quite a nice one at that. Bonus: I don't have to pay for the materials or tools. I go shopping and come home with a trailer-load of cool stuff and am only limited by my own skills and creativity.

Thank you, you just made my day! Yep I did the same thing for a long time, menu entries to open the terminal versions...then it just became another itch I couldn't scratch and I felt I could make something better.

I typically use the package system-config-printer, it's a nice little gui for helping get set up, and works fine in my experience with hplip and all the other backend drivers and cups stuff.

If it's a network printer as opposed to direct connect, cups-browsed might help.

^^THIS^^. And not just Debian but further upstream too.

I'm pretty blown away at all the work the devs have had to do (and are still doing) to make it work at all. Bless them all for doing it too, with no pay and not a lot of gratitude shown by some.

At some point it's time to stop walking away from things that aren't working so well, and jump into the fray and start helping.

Once more unto the breech dear friends.

Hey buddy! Yeah I did actually, the script now scans for all channels on the backend including capture, got a nice little slider for it even on my ancient laptop.

The latest 2.1 and 3.0 scripts and now also the alsatoggle script, poll the backend every time you start them up and pull everything that exists and use that to populate the gui, so even if you change the physical sound card on a given system, the next time you open AlsaTune (or alsatoggle) all your new stuff will be what's there.
