Controlling Privacy Setting in Ubuntu with Gnome Activity Log Manager
from Free Software Magazine

Whenever the The Electornic Frontier Foundation (EFF) commends Ubuntu for"retrofitting operating systems to support privacy against local attackers"as a worthy objective, I'm inclined to sit up and take notice. Since Ubuntu Precise Pangolin (12.04) these privacy setting have been integrated out of the box as a feature in the System Settings menu. It's called Activity Log Manager (previously Zeitgeist Global Privacy), a GUI frontend to partially control Zeitgeist . It's what powers Ubuntu's Dash in the Unity desktop. Here's how to use it to control what the Gnome activity log is recording. Category: End users Tagging: ubuntu gnome privacy zeitgeist License: CC-BY-NC-SA

File Juggling with Sunflower
from Free Software Magazine
(2012/8/7 6:50)
|
When it comes to file managers, Linux users are spoiled for choice. But that doesn't stop developers from building tools for juggling files. Take Sunflower , for example. This file browser is built for speed, and it will appeal to fans of the twin-panel interface. Indeed, Sunflower's unobtrusive and lightweight interface allows you to manage files with consummate ease. Although Sunflower is designed to play nicely with the Gnome desktop environment, the file manager doesn't look out of place on other desktops, including KDE.

The most used graphic program in the free software jungle is Gimp. It is a hugely powerful piece of software, but when all you want to do is to crop a JPEG image without any loss of quality, it's positive overkill: that's when you need CropGUI. Category: End users License: CC-BY-NC-SA

Compare two images easily with Geeqie
from Free Software Magazine
(2012/7/31 5:56)

In my entomological work I often need to compare two images of bugs side-by-side. Comparisons are surprisingly hard to do with either of the image viewers I normally use, namely Eye of Gnome and Ristretto . First I open two instances of the viewer and adjust their window sizes and positions for easy side-by-side comparison. I then open one image in one viewer window, and the other image in the other window. If I want to zoom in or out, or pan across the images, I have to do this independently in each viewer window. If I don't save this two-instance arrangement on a dedicated workspace using'Save session on exit', I'll have to repeat the setting-up next time. Comparisons are much simpler in Geeqie image viewer, which is now in most of the Linux distribution repositories. I first heard about Geeqie in 2011 when it was featured in a glowing online review . I hope this article adds to the glow. Category: End users Tagging: image viewer License: ...
