Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Here's a simple image/pdf (if pdftoppm is installed) viewer written in bash/yad. You will be able to rotate the images and resize with right click options.

0.4 - added ffmpeg options for flipping, zooming, and saving edited image as well as added edit options with various installed programs and all of the poppler-utils tools (pdfattach pdfdetach pdfimages pdftocairo pdftohtml pdftoppm pdftops pdftotext pdfunite)

0.5 - minor improvements

*DELETED*

0.2 is up

0.3 is up. I think I'm pretty happy with this now and should be done with it for a while.

0.4 is up

What is the difference in practical usage between this and your gimage package?

I've used the latter, which is very good indeed, but haven't tried this yad variant.

@wiak This program handles PDF as well. I've just been interested in trying to use yad as an alternative to gtkdialog. There are things yad does better and vice versa. It's just an alternative, use what you like.

BTW: Is this meant only for Puppies?

yimage-0.4.pet package is for just Puppy Linux versions.

Pet packaging is the specific way to package software for Puppy.

All Puppy versions support installing from a pet package and also a .deb package.

In earlier days of Puppy development and version releases.
Most software had to be packaged as a pet, so it would install in Puppy.
Puppies normal file system layout was not normal compared to main stream Linux.
Now Puppy file system is more inline with the norms of a Linux file system.
Pet packages usually only have what is absolutely needed. So they are smaller in size.
Not so much anymore, because people do not take as much time building a pet package of a program.
It was a fine art to figure out what was actually needed by a specific program and only providing that in the programs pet package.

Example:
A lot of Puppy programs are simple script files.
The pet package will have the script file and location to place it in the operating file system.
A .desktop file so it will have a menu entry to run it from. (this needs to only have very simple absolutely needed entries to work)
Maybe a special icon for the program.
A pet.specs file with info to describe what it is, when listed in the uninstall list of Puppy Package Manager.

updated to 0.5

@plinej
Checked the archive link and did not find .5

Thanks

@wizard, yeah, I haven't been uploading to that lately but probably will soon...

Works fine in Bookworm64. May open files a 'tad' faster than your gpdf. See, https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewto ... 46#p113046
