Looking for an advanced configuration program for Gnome

Hi there,
I had once found a program to configure gnome in an advanced way. Like applications opening on a specific workspaces for instance, but it could do plenty of other things. I just can't find the name of this program anymore. Anyone have an idea??
Thanks

Looking for some advice regarding an image related program

Hi fellas, Im looking for some guidance here. I want to write a program that will read an image (image will be an xray image of a square), convert the image to black and white, and measure the length and width of the square. Im looking for the best progamming langauge to make this happen. Anyone have any recommendations? I know c++ has a good imaging library that would be helpful so im looking into that at the moment. And Im pretty sure I can do this with matlab, but Im writing this program for a doctor so I need it to be portable. Thanks in advance for all the help

Whats the best programming language to:
-read an image (of a square)
-convert image to black and white
-measure length/width of square
-GUI would be good but not necessary
-easy to write

HashBox wrote:You might want to look in to DPI and what The GIMP does in terms of that, also I found this which might be of use as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixels_per_inch
Thanks HashBox, I think Im off to a good start on this. First, I wrote the program (majority of it) using matlab, and now Im trying to convert it to C++. So far I have:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "CImg.h"
using namespace cimg_library;
//main program
int main()
CImg<double> img("xray.jpg");
//converts the image to black and white
img.RGBtoYCbCr().channel(0).resize(-100,-100,1,3).RGBtoLUT(CImg<>(2,1,1,3).fill(0.0f,255.0f),false);
//displays image
CImgDisplay display(img,"Black and White");
while (!display.is_closed)
display.wait();
return 0;
So right now, I have the black and white xray image. How do I find out the size of the image using c++? Is there a function for that or do I have to write code to find it manually?
Heres the original matlab code I wrote that Im trying to write my c++ code after:
%read the image
[filename,pathname] = uigetfile('*.*', 'Select an image');
%assign image to film
film=imread(filename);
%threshold the image
level = graythresh(film);
%convert image to black&white using the thresholded value
BW = im2bw(film, level);
%display image
imshow(BW);
SIZE=size(BW);
counter=zeros(1, SIZE(1));
for x=1:SIZE(1)
for y=1:SIZE(2)
if (BW(x,y)==1)
counter(1,x)=counter(1,x)+1;
end
end
end
SUM=0;
lines=0;
for counterarray=1:SIZE(1)
if counter(1,counterarray)>0
lines=lines+1;
SUM=counter(1,counterarray)+SUM;
end
end

Looking for comprehensive program to create pdf file from gif image

Hello,
I'm looking for a program that can transform gif image file into pdf file. It is very importent to keep the same quality of the output document as the original image.
I've seen Bridge CS5 in action and was very much disapointed, because the original gif image had 2 colors: black and white, took 60k Byte A4 paper size. But the output pdf file became somehow to 700k Byte size. When our proffi tried to lower the ppi or quality bar there was direct impact on the image quality.
Long time ago Photoshop was able to export images as pdf files and one of the options of the pdf file was to keep the original image as gif, not as jpeg. Because jpeg is very costy format for black-white images and no-one wants to waste memory in vain, so I do not like to save pdf files of 1MB size for an image that takes 100k in gif.
I do understand that nowdays using Photoshop to save pdf files is not the option anymore, isn't it ?
What program can you suggest me to use ? I still prefer to use Adobe products, as long as I can, through I'm starting to get scared of sharp decline in quality.
Thank you in advance.
sincerely,
Al

No, I didn't. The last time I saw it, it was looking just as a regular Reader with a little more options and with an addon to MS-Office, to allow to save MS documents to pdf from inside MS-Office user interface products, and frankly, I do not highly admire there products at all, so I do not have MS-Office installed. But it was also long time ago. If the situation did changed since than, I will try it.
Thank you very much.
I've just tried the Acrobat. It worked great ! Thank you. Just not all the images have options how to save them in pdf file, but that's ok for now

Looking for an elegant dual monitor auto-configure solution (SOLVED)

I am currently using XFCE becuase Gnome and KDE are both too heavy for my weak little laptop with intel onboard graphics. The number one thing I miss is auto-detect and configuration when I plug or unplug my monitor.
I can't find anything that works automatically in an elegant way, the only thing I can do is poll the system every second. There appears to be a way to make a udev rule but that is a little bit out of my depth.
My current solution is below, does anybody have a suggestion for something more elegant? It would be awesome if there was something in the AUR.

SOLVED using inotify see below and thanks for all the help

Thanks very much for pointing me to inotify. This is exactly the type of solution I was looking for! I wasn't too excited about creating some udev tool. Here is the script using inotify:
#!/bin/bash

export MONITOR2=/sys/class/drm/card0-VGA-1/status
while inotifywait -e modify,create,delete,open,close,close_write,access $MONITOR2;
dmode="$(cat $MONITOR2)"
do
if [ "${dmode}" = disconnected ]; then
/usr/bin/xrandr --auto
echo "${dmode}"
elif [ "${dmode}" = connected ];then
/usr/bin/xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --right-of LVDS1
echo "${dmode}"
else /usr/bin/xrandr --auto
echo "${dmode}"
fi
done
I am marking this as solved. If you have more critique or suggestions I'd be open to improve the script.

Looking for tiling + Gnome

I've been looking for an easy to use tiling window manager to use with Gnome. One that doesn't require a lot of configuration. In the past, I have used KDE primarily and really liked the idea of kwin tiling. In fact, kwin tiling is pretty much exactly what I am looking for. I want something that automatically maximizes and tiles according to a chosen layout. Resizing one window resizes the rest of the windows accordingly. I was under the impression that the compiz grid plugin was what I was looking for but unfortunately not. It seems to only be able to place windows in a tile-like format with keyboard shortcuts. I'm looking for something that tiles automatically.
Are there any options out there for me or should I switch back to KDE?

Any window manager can replace gnomes' one so the question I guess is what are the dynamic tiling window managers.
Here is a comparison of the tilers, you'll want one with a text config and dynamic not manual tiling.
A quick perusal would suggest wmfs as being one of the more popular - and there's a healthy thread in here about it.

CD burning program for Gnome?

Hi,
I'm just looking for an easy to use cd burning program for Gnome.
Anybody inhere that can recommend any programs?
Sincerely, Jorgen

I tried both and they are nice (I especially like graveman) but neither seems to support overburning. I had a data CD that was 701mb and they refused to write it.
Is there any way around this? If I can figure this out I can finally get rid of k3b.

Looking for graphics program

OK, not sure if this is the right forum, but I couldn't find a better spot.
I'm looking for recommendations for a good middle of the road graphics program for my Mac. On my PC I used Paint Shop Pro. Photoshop is expensive and way too powerful. I'm looking to edit picutres and design some website grade graphics.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

There are many graphics applications available. Preview can do some elementary image editing. iPhoto can do more. For more advanced image editing, here is a list of six, off the top of my head; I am sure there are more:
Gimp - Needs X11.
Gimpshop - Gimp variant. It's supposed to be more Photoshop-like. Needs X11.
http://plasticbugs.com/?page_id=294
Seashore - Open source Cocoa. Partially based on Gimp, but not X11.
http://seashore.sourceforge.net/
Graphic Converter - Shareware, worth many times its price. It is not the most powerful image editor in this list, but it does much more. Its real forte is opening any graphic format you are ever likely to encounter, and many, many more. Anybody who works with image files should have a copy.
Color It! - Comparable to Photoshop elements in features, but cheaper, and much faster.
Photoshop Elements - Much cheaper than Photoshop, but more than enough for most non-professionals.
Gimp and Gimpshop use X11, which makes them rather un-Mac-like, but they are free. I have not really used any of the free ones, since I already have the other three. If I needed a free app, Seashore is the one I would try. Graphic Converter and Color It! are my favorites. Photoshop Elements is probably the most powerful.

Looking for a program or app

just coming from windows,i dont know if you call them apps or programs? im looking for something that will keep track of customers,money they owe,and money they pay.would be nice if it worked with the calendar and phone book but not necessary.thanks

You didn't provide the actual name of the Windows program you are using so that features or prices can be compared. What do you expect to pay for a program, or do you want to use an online system that has monthly fees?
I don't know of any inexpensive programs for the Mac that are specifically set up for Farriers, but there are many database type programs that might be adapted to your needs. GrandTotal, $79 - offers pretty good integration with the Mac Address Book and Calendar (especially if you get it bundled with their TimeLog program for an extra $10) and it also has an iPhone-iPad program that can read open and due invoices you've created with their program.
You could also take a look at Bento, $49 - from FileMaker, which also has a program for iPhone-iPad. They offer some invoice templates that you can download and modify.
Both of these companies offer free trials.
I haven't used either of these products, but I am looking for something with better integration with my iDevices. The Quickbooks Connect program for iPad only works with the Windows version of Quickbooks Pro 2011 and requires a monthly subscription. Windows users are still complaining about it's lack of features so I'll probably pass.
One of my clients has offered to buy my Quickbooks for Mac, and I might take him up on it if the GrandTotal program works out for me. The program is great, but not very nimble on-the-road.
Hope this helps.

Looking for help with respect to configuring MS Exchange server to handle attachments over 10 MB for forwarding to Salesforce (Email-to-case).

Looking for help with respect to configuring MS Exchange server to handle attachments over 10 MB for forwarding to Salesforce (Email-to-case).
Problem - SFDC does not create cases from emails that have more than 10 MB of attachments. Our clients will not go-live if their clients cannot send in emails with attachments over 10 MBs
Potential resolution - Configure MS exchange to strip off the attachments(if over 10 MB) and store it in a public folder, forward the email to Salesforce (so the case gets created or the email
is associated to an existing case), the client should have some way to know if the attachments were stripped off and should be able to dlownload the attachments and continue with case resolution.
Any help is appreicated!
Thanks

Hi,
From your description, you want to achieve the following goal:
Configure Exchange to filter the attachments if the size is over 10 MB and store it in a public folder, and then forward the email to Salesforce.
Based on my knowledge, I'm afraid that it can't be achieved. Exchange can filter messages with attachments, but it couldn't store these attachments on public folder automatically. Also, I don't see any transport rule can do it.
Hope my clarification is helpful.
Best regards,

Problem with my program looking for the settings file in the wrong folder

I have been writing a simple FTP file uploader, what I want to do is be able to select the files I want to upload in windows explorer and then right click and click the menu item and it launches the program and passes the files paths that I have selected to it.
So I use this in the windows registry "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\java.exe -jar D:\BenFTP\BenFTP.jar %1"
It launches fine and has no problem finding the files I want to upload. The problem is that it tries to look for the settings file in the same folder that the file I am try to upload is in. Which it's not suppose to do since the settings file is in the same folder that the .jar is in.
Edited by: ColNewman on Feb 5, 2008 6:55 PM

So, you're looking for your settings file in your current working directory. There's no way to set the CWD in your registry entry (is there?) so that isn't a practical thing to do. Presumably you're using a File object or a FileReader or something? Can't do that.
One alternative is to look for the settings file in the classpath. You can get a URL to a file in the classpath like this:URL settings = this.getClass().getResource("/settings.xml");Or you can get an InputStream to read the file by using the getResourceAsStream method. You would have to make sure that your executable jar file contained a Class-Path entry that specified the right directory, because the directory the jar is contained in isn't automatically in an executable jar's classpath.
Another alternative is to ask the user where the settings file is supposed to be, and put an entry in the Preferences (java.util.prefs) to remember that location.

Looking for a for an all-in-one printer that is compatible with greeting card programs...

looking for a for an all-in-one printer that is compatible with greeting card programs...my original one was an HP PSC 1510...replaced it with a Deskjet 1050 & it does not work...any suggestions?

I bought an epson xp650 a couple of months ago and cannot fault it. It does everything I require and it is the wifi model so I can print directly from my ipad/iphone. Not sure if you are asking about the colour of the unit or just to be able to print black and white, Obviously all printers will print black and white but just to give you a little more info the printer I bought is the white version and it looks really nice sat next to my imac 27''
Hope this helps.

New to Mac and I am looking for a good app to process labels for envelopes. Used to use the Printmaster program on the PC side. Wondering if "Pages" Iis the correct program to buy of is there another option. Thank you.

New to Mac and used to use a program called print master for making all kinds of labels etc. I am looking for a good app to do the same. I was wondering if the Pages app was the right choice to do the labels etc. I understand that pages I'd a word processing app but I was unable to tell if it could do what I was looking for. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

The Contacts application will print envelopes and is already on your iMac. See this Apple article for information on how to do it.
Best of luck.
