The tips are fun and the hope of discov- ering hidden gems makes it a worthwhile task. John Southern Former editor of Linux Magazine I enjoyed Ubuntu Kung Fu and learned some new things. I would rec- ommend this book—nice tips and a lot of fun to be had. Carthik Sharma Creator of the Ubuntu Blog (http://ubuntu.wordpress.com) Wow! There are some great tips here! I have used Ubuntu since April 2005, starting with version 5.04. I found much in this book to inspire me and to teach me, and it answered lingering questions I didn’t know I had. The book is a good resource that I will gladly recommend to both newcomers and veteran users.

It is a midweight OS designed to combine an elegant and efficient desktop with simple configuration, high stability, solid performance and medium-sized footprint. Relying on the excellent upstream work by Linux and the open-source community, we deploy Xfce 4.12 as Desktop Environment on top of a Debian Stable base, drawing from the core antiX system. Ongoing backports and outside additions to our Repos serve to keep components current with developments.

  • Showing JPG Comments in an Image Browser John C
    Showing JPG comments in an image browser John C. Nash 2017-06-04 The Conclusions (up front!) The JPEG image standard allows several ways to save caption information INSIDE an individual JPG file. This is important, as captions stored separately can be “lost” if filenames are changed. However, which choice of mechanism to use leads to confusion. Here I recommend the “Comment” field be used. This is available via rdjpgcom and wrjpgcom tools in Linux. On Windows, or under WINE in Linux, Irfanview is quite capable (Image/Info/Comment), but mapivi which is cross platform is sometimes better for adding comments. For Linux I found feh allowed a simple script to display images with comments for a quick verification of the caption. Irfanview offers a full-screen option that is similar. Having got into “production” mode, I discovered that it was, or at least feels, more efficient to work mostly in Irfanview. The background to this is outlined in the section “Production workflow”. Motivations My wife and I have a lot of photos. We don’t look at them very often, but they do represent memories and serve to remind us of events in our past. There are also some that should be passed to other family and friends. The many albums take up space, and are not terribly well stored. For this reason we have been scanning them. Images on their own are not particularly useful. Therefore we have been adding captions, using the “Comment” capability of JPG files. This is in the IPTC tags of the JPEG standard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG).
