Here, I'm uploading few modules for your feedback(s). Note: Few modules are updated, kindly check.

Please add md5sums.

mediafire doesn't support any checksums. When I recall correctly, mega.nz supports checksums.

While errors in downloading are rare, they still occur.
my favourite upload service - filehorst.de - does create md5sum by itself, so then I can also check if my upload is flawless.
But filehorst is in German, so it would not be suitable for everyone. When I post a link I add a small translation of what the main text about any of its downloads mean in English.

14. Ksnip: Ksnip is an open-source, cross-platform screenshot and annotation tool, like the "snipping" tool for windows.
Download link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/01zg1gfo ... 4.xzm/file

Is it able to resize images to some predefined size e.g. 640x??? , 800x???? and such, because it sucks to have to change all my screenshots manually.
Also, does it support jpeg, webp and png?

Yes it does have lots of features including FTP upload, crop image to desired size, add watermark, emoji and more.......... The best way would be to test it yourself and tell.

I'll see what can be done, and move files as necessary.

Please add md5sums

What if is create md5sum for each file in terminal before upload?

like:

Code: Select all

1812071b7a45bc4c855dc3acd628a4be  AppFlowy_0.2.7_ubuntu-20.04.xzm

And then upload file with md5sum in description, will it work?

Sure, that way it works with any uploader. Just use the uploader that works best for you; just add the md5sum in any style you see fit on the forum. when you can no longer edit your initial post of a thread, ask one of the moderators (e.g. yours truly) to do so for you.

Even when you host stuff at e.g. github, you can still add checksums in some kind o readme for that one version.

Just as heads up: md5sum is known to b vulnerable. When you make your checksum much more temper resistant use sha256sum instead. But mainly this is for detecting the rare occurrence of download errors an not about the security of your uploads.

Just when you use any checksum please give the info what that's about.

So it is better to print

md5sum 1812071b7a45bc4c855dc3acd628a4be AppFlowy_0.2.7_ubuntu-20.04.xzm

than

1812071b7a45bc4c855dc3acd628a4be AppFlowy_0.2.7_ubuntu-20.04.xzm

Experiences users would guess that "1812071b7a45bc4c855dc3acd628a4be" is the md5sum, but some noobs might not know what that it's about.

Added in 4 minutes 18 seconds:
And then when a noob reports "the module is not working!!!!1!1one!!eleven" we can easily ask her/him: Did you check the md5sum / (sha256sum / whatever-elaborate-checksum) of the downloaded file?

Gottcha Sir!
And thanks for all the praises, its encouraging.

about ksnip-1.10.1.x86_64.xzm

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ ksnip
bash: ksnip: command not found

Why is that? Because the binary is in a folder outside of $PATH:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:/mnt/live/memory/images$ ls -o ksnip-1.10.1.x86_64.xzm/usr/bin/ksnip/usr/bin/ksnip 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 5171816 2023-03-29 17:25 ksnip-1.10.1.x86_64.xzm/usr/bin/ksnip/usr/bin/ksnip

A valid path for its binary would be e.g. /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/ksnip/usr/bin is not a valid path when you want to start a binary from the terminal.

Just ask your $PATH itself which paths are supported (presuming you did not alter $PATH and it is the system's original)

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games

Root has also sbin:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games

HTH!

Also, when i have a full-screen of a video, and want that fullscreen as initial source of the screenshot (just resized), ksnip is unable to do so.

On initial start on XFCE it says "Critical: Unknown platform, using default X11 Image Grabber." - Maybe that's the reason?

In XFCE I set it up to wait 2 seconds and activate it's new/full recent monitor (shift+m). first the paused video switched back to full screen, having the menu bar disappear in the 2 seconds wait time - but ksnip still adds the menu bar on top and thus crops that part of the image that is now hidden behind the menu bar.
Maybe it works flawless on KDE (I presume it is mainly a KDE app due to its name?) but it not works out of the box in XFCE for a full screen program.

Maybe there is some hidden settings where one could teach it about XFCE so that a full screen video or image is captured as full screen and not with the unwanted menu bar.

gomway, Thanks for all the modules! After correcting ksnip could you also maybe change the path inside pdfStudioViewer_2023x64? Currently it activates itself into /home/guest.


Also, polo is missing a dependency for me:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# polo-gtk
polo-gtk: error while loading shared libraries: libgee-0.8.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[gomway]

about ksnip-1.10.1.x86_64.xzm

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ ksnip
bash: ksnip: command not found

Thanks for pointing out the errors, will try correcting and upload again (I've found the path is actually pointing to /usr/bin/ksnip/usr/bin). Also check for the full screen video options as mentioned.

Sure I'm ready to take the pain

Will upload the updates soon. Thanks again.

[Rava]

Also check for the full screen video options as mentioned.

What do you mean by that?

I do not see any "full screen video options as mentioned" (highlighting by me) - no mentioning of the full screen video option in any of your posts on ksnip. Not in New Working Modules and Custom Porteus ISOs (Post by gomway #95076) nor in New Working Modules and Custom Porteus ISOs (Post by gomway #95124)

[gomway]

What do you mean by that?

I meant "I will check for that option myself."
However I've updated the file link given in the list New Working Modules and Custom Porteus ISOs (Post by gomway #95076) on fist page.

Or directly from: ksnip-1.10.1.x86_64(update).xzm
md5sum: d441720204db9aea60cd3bcde8015e4f

Path updated: /usr/bin/ Try running from

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ ksnip

For full screen options u can use the shortcul keys (hotkeys) like (Alt+Shit+R) or (Alt+Shift+F), it won't show the menu bar. I've tested the options or you can create your own Action in the Options>Settings (Alt+F7).

I hope that helps. Thankyou again.

Polo-filemanager updated (download on first page). Or else you just need libgee-0.8.so dependecy, download it here: libgee-0.8.so.2.6.1.xzm

pdfStudioViewer- coming soon.

[Rava]

I hope that helps. Thankyou again.

I will download the updated version and try it out. Thanks for all your efforts.

Added in 6 minutes :
And another tip:
many use as the last part of the module file name a 3 characters short name insert so that people know who made the module.

Example:

Code: Select all

yt-dlp-2023.07.06-noarch-1ncm.xzm

E.g. ksnip-1.10.1.x86_64_gom.xzm instead of ksnip-1.10.1.x86_64(update).xzm

Then you can add your own sub-version - e.g. ksnip-1.10.1.x86_64_gom_v2.xzm
Because when you update ksnip-1.10.1.x86_64(update).xzm again, would you then call it also ksnip-1.10.1.x86_64(update).xzm or would it be then named ksnip-1.10.1.x86_64(update)(update).xzm ?

With Alt+Shift+F it works as full-screen capture without the menu bar.

But back to my main question - resizing a screenshot.
Where do I find the option?

The2nd option in the Tool Selection that might look like a resize option is in fact duplicate.

Answer: it's hidden in the menu.
