mtpaint

[Ed_P]

Downloaded mtpaint from USM, activated it, and get this:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ mtpaint
mtpaint: error while loading shared libraries: libjasper.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
guest@porteus:~$ 

USM has the Resolve Dependencies set. USM returns nothing for libjasper.

I need an app that allows me to cut and crop screen prints for posting here.

Code: Select all

usm -g jasper

this contains libjasper http://slakfinder.org/show.php?pkg=1314284

viewnior image viewer can do this...

[Ed_P]

Thanks ncmprhnsbl.

Viewnoir appears to be the same as the Image Viewer in Cinnamon and neither does cutting and cropping. I've also tried, without success, pinta and GraphicsMagick.

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ pinta
/usr/bin/pinta: line 5: /usr/bin/mono: No such file or directory
guest@porteus:~$ GraphicsMagick
bash: GraphicsMagick: command not found
guest@porteus:~$ graphicsmagick

yes it does:

but mtpaint(or fotoxx and others) have plenty of other useful features.. like eg. annotation..

Not the Image Viewer I see.

Not the Image Viewer I see.

Which seems to be gpicview.

[ncmprhnsbl]

yeah, i'm talking about viewnior not gpicview

and heres a tip regarding missing libs: search the full library name:

Code: Select all

# usm -s libjasper.so.1
 ----------------------------- 
 Are you searching for a library file? 

libjasper.so.1, it seems a library.
Would you like to find the package for it? [y/n]

 libjasper.so.1  was found in   jasper-1.900.1-x86_64-5.txz 

[Ed_P]

Code: Select all

usm -g fotoxx

USM not resolving all dependencies apparently.

Just going by the name Cinnamon DE has given it.

An excellent suggestion! I did not know that. Thank you.

and while i'm at it, here's another fun fact:

Code: Select all

$ mtpaint -s

takes a screenshot and opens it in mtpaint..

edit: oddly enough i'm running mtpaint-3.31 (old module that i found lying around) without any libjasper
oh ok, mtpaint-3.40 probly needs it for something..

[Ed_P]

^ Interesting indeed. And how does one assign that function to the PrtScr key?

[ncmprhnsbl]

depends on your DE.. cinnamon right? not too familiar with cinnamon, but i'd be looking for something to do with 'keyboard shortcuts' in the settings somewhere...

[ncmprhnsbl]

yeah, System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts
first remove the keybind for "Take a Screenshot" ie select "Print" and press Escp
then add a custom shortcut and assign it to Print (PrtSc)

you realise, of course , that you can use Shift+PrtSc to take a shot of a selected area using the builtin screenshooter (precropped)
