[125014160110] |It lets you construct networks (mathematical graphs) with a few clicks on a virtual canvas or load networks of various formats (GraphViz, GraphML, Adjacency, Pajek, UCINET, etc) and modify them to suit your needs. [125014160120] |SocNetV also offers a built-in web crawler, allowing you to automatically create networks from all links found in a given initial URL. [125014160130] |The application can compute basic network properties, such as density, diameter and distances (shortest path lengths), as well as more advanced structural statistics, such as node and network centralities (i.e. closeness, betweeness, graph), clustering coefficient, etc. [125014160140] |Various layout algorithms (i.e. Spring-embedder, radial and layered according to node centralization) are supported for meaningful visualizations of your networks. [125014160150] |Furthermore, random networks (Erdos-Renyi, Watts-Strogatz, ring lattice, etc) can be created with a few clicks. [125014160160] |SocNetV is a work in progress and is being developed in C++ and Qt, an open-source GUI development toolkit from Nokia. [125014160170] |Our primary target platform is Linux, but you can compile and run SocNetV on OS X and Windows as well, as long as you have Qt4 libraries installed.

[125014180030] |It uses technologies such as image layer separation of text and background/images, progressive loading, arithmetic coding, and lossy compression for bitonal (monochrome) images. [125014180040] |This allows for high-quality, readable images to be stored in a minimum of space, so that they can be made available on the web.This tutorial will explain How to convert djvu to pdf [125014180050] |Goto Synaptic Package Manager (System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager) and install djview4 [125014180060] |Run DJview from Applications - Graphics - DJView4 [125014180070] |Now Open your .djvu document and go to Menu - Export As: PDF [125014180080] |Hope this helps some users [125014190010] |Linux finally gets a great audio tagger [125014190020] |As someone that loves music, listens constantly and is always adding to my collection by purchasing and then ripping CDs, a decent tag editor is an essential tool. [125014190030] |I’ve been using Linux for the past seven years or so and the only drawback that I was constantly faced with was the lack of a great audio tag editor - basically a Linux based equivalent to mp3tag. [125014190040] |After trying every Linux tagger I could get my hands on (Ex Falso, EasyTag, Pinkytagger, Jaikoz, Picard, etc. etc.) [125014190050] |I finally settled on running mp3tag under Wine. [125014190060] |Whilst it works, it’s still a compromise because it cannot handle case sensitivity, cannot rename folders and filenames and path lengths are limited to Windows file system restrictions. [125014190070] |In addition, there were a number of functional enhancements and additions I wanted to see in mp3tag, but didn’t seem like they’d see the light of day. [125014190080] |Enter puddletag [125014190090] |In December 2009 after again being frustrated with mp3tag’s restrictions whilst tagging some albums I’d ripped I fired up Google and searched again for a Linux tagger. [125014190100] |To cut a long story short I stumbled on puddletag…open source, coded in Python and as luck would have it, loosely based on mp3tag. [125014190110] |Since then puddletag’s been very actively developed to not only incorporate mp3tag’s functionality, but also to add a host of features the author and I wanted to see in a tagger of choice. [125014190120] |Today, I’d go as far as to say that puddletag’s probably the best tag editor out there, regardless of operating system. [125014190130] |How is puddletag different from other Linux taggers? [125014190140] |Well, for starters, if you’re familiar with mp3tag, you’re going to be right at home with puddletag…from the user interface, through to Extended Tags, Actions, regular expressions, Tag Sources etc. [125014190150] |In addition, puddletag offers a host of functionality you’re not likely to find in a single tagger, including: [125014190160] |
  • Retrieving tags from clipboard - why copy track data from a website, save it to a file and only then write it… pop it into the clipboard and write it from memory?
  • [125014190170] |
  • Fully customisable screen layout. [125014190180] |Drag and drop windows to where you’d like them or turn them off altogether.
  • [125014190190] |
  • Fully customiseable Tag Panel.
  • [125014190200] |
  • Extended Tags view/editing including visual confirmation of what’s going to be added/ edited and/ or deleted - no more guessing what you’ve put in train…changes are colour coded according to the nature of the changes you make (distinguishing between additions, edits and deletions).
  • [125014190210] |
  • Drag and drop columns in main view to reorder them
  • [125014190220] |
  • Right click on a column header to add additional columns
  • [125014190230] |
  • A spreadsheet-like layout that enables selection of individual tags/cells across multiple files and performing operations on the selected tags only
  • [125014190240] |
  • Copy and paste any combination of tags to multiple files in a single operation
  • [125014190250] |
  • Quick search and replace of text across selected tags/ cells or entire tracks using Ctrl-H (no need to write an action for a quick search/ replace operation)
  • [125014190260] |
  • ability to see stored tags as written to file (i.e. without tagname translation) to help resolve pesky issues like ID3 and Vorbis tag types in a single file
  • [125014190270] |
  • ability to tag single tracks using tag sources (handy when the album you’re looking for doesn’t exist in tag sources, but the songs do exist in other albums found in tag sources (why tag by hand when you can just take track metadata from other albums)
  • [125014190280] |
  • easily select all tracks in a folder using a hotkey (Ctrl-Shift-S) (no more dragging the mouse cursor around and shift-clicking)
  • [125014190290] |
  • resize/ relocate/ close windows (configure your workspace to suit you, and puddletag will remember window locations when you reactivate them)
  • [125014190300] |
  • realtime results feedback when defining actions (takes the guessing out of whether an action or a function is going to do what you’re hoping it will do…you see the results an action will generate as you define it)
  • [125014190310] |
  • dynamically change main window font size to suit your needs
  • [125014190320] |
  • launch puddletag with a predefined font size designed to suit your needs
  • [125014190330] |
  • (optionally) dynamically size columns to match tag metadata
  • [125014190340] |
  • predefined and readily editable tag patterns always available to you through a pulldown menu
  • [125014190350] |
  • customisable hotkeys
  • [125014190360] |
  • Why should you have to process each album manually or be tied to your keyboard when most of the work can be automated for your later review and approval? [125014190370] |A fundamentally different approach to using Tag Sources based on convenience, speed, accuracy, flexibility and ease of use:
  • [125014190380] |
  • Ability to tag your entire library in unattended batch mode using multiple tag sources whereby you can specify which fields to retrieve from which tag sources, which tag sources take precedence, and optionally add only new metadata, thus preserving existing tags.
  • [125014190390] |
  • When masstagging is completed you’re presented with the proposed changes - additions/ changes are formatted in bold whilst tags/fields that won’t change are formatted in italics. [125014190400] |Hover your mouse cursor over a bold formatted field and the current and proposed values are shown in a tooltip.
  • [125014190410] |
  • Changes can be accepted/ rejected for a single/ multiple fields and track(s).
  • [125014190420] |
  • Not only that, you can edit the proposed tags, make any changes you like and then write the final results when you’re satisfied with them
  • [125014190430] |
  • Easily tag individual tracks when track order differs from that provided via a Tag Source
  • [125014190440] |
  • Ability to remap data retrieved from tag sources to fields of your choosing e.g. to have the Artist info retrieved from MusicBrainz written as the Performer tag, add the following to Preferences/Mappings: Tag=MusicBrainz, Source=artist,Target=performer
  • [125014190450] |
  • All your tagging preferences can be saved to a tagging profile and reused at will…you can configure as many profiles as you have tagging preferences.
  • [125014190460] |I could go on and on about all the great features you’ll find in puddletag, but the best way to appreciate it is to experience it. puddletag’s homepage is http://puddletag.sourceforge.net/, download the latest build from http://sourceforge.net/projects/puddletag/files/puddletag_0.9.6-1_all.deb and refer to its documentation at http://puddletag.sourceforge.net/docs.html [125014190470] |If you’re in need of any assistance or have suggestions, please post them on the puddletag forum: http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/puddletag/ [125014200010] |CometSound - Music player for GNU/Linux written in python [125014200020] |CometSound is a Music player for GNU/Linux written in python, using pygtk and gstreamer libraries.

[125014330150] |It has less bugs than kaa-metadata, and is better maintained. [125014330160] |One benefit of this change is that more video file types can have their metadata extracted.

[125014340030] |The program autosaves your progress, and reloads the last files you had open to make it easy to jump back in during your next writing session, and has many other features that make it such that only one thing matters: your writing. [125014340040] |Hide-away Interface [125014340050] |The most important thing about writing is your words, and FocusWriter puts them front and center, without cluttering up your view with anything else. [125014340060] |However, it’s good to have quick and easy access to the features of any program, so FocusWriter utilizes a hide-away interface: simply throw your mouse to the top, bottom, or right side of the screen to gain access to a number of customizable options and useful information, then flick it aside when you’re no longer interested. [125014340070] |Themes [125014340080] |You can have multiple environments with different fonts, colors, and background images to create ambiance or inspiration as you type. [125014340090] |Use an astronomy photo in the background to put you in the mood for writing science fiction, or a seaside bluff to inspire your summertime murder mystery novel set in Cape Cod. [125014340100] |Live Statistics [125014340110] |Word count, paragraph count, page count, and character count; almost anything that you could want to know about your progress, updated live as you type. [125014340120] |Fast and easy to check, so as not to wrench you out of your zone. [125014340130] |Enable or disable any of them to customize what you want to track. [125014340140] |Daily Goals [125014340150] |Sometimes the hardest part of writing is keeping yourself motivated, and having a daily goal can be a big help. [125014340160] |To that end, FocusWriter has two types of optional daily goals: word count, and time spent typing. [125014340170] |These are charted by day and not by session, so you can feel free to come back at tinker at it several times throughout the day to reach it if you need to. [125014340180] |Additionally, FocusWriter doesn’t stop the progress count at 100% so as to not cap your creativity; if you’re having a really good day, why not challenge yourself to try for 200% or even beyond? [125014340190] |Spell Checking [125014340200] |Let’s face it, we all make mistakes; from typos to simple misspellings, they crop up in everyone’s work. [125014340210] |While some people find an automatic spell check distracting, others get thrown off-track to know that a word has been misspelled but can’t remember exactly how it’s supposed to be spelled. [125014340220] |FocusWriter has an optional automatic spell check (on by default), as well as the good old standby spell check dialog that you can call upon only when you want it. [125014340230] |Through the Spell Checking tab of the Preference dialog, you can enable or disable automatic spell checking, customize your own personal dictionary, and add new dictionaries for other languages (downloadable from OpenOffice.org). [125014340240] |Document Tabs [125014340250] |Sometimes it’s useful to have multiple documents open at once, be it additional stories, notes, or reference material. [125014340260] |Because FocusWriter is designed primarily to be run in its fullscreen state, your files appear as tabs located at the bottom of the program. [125014340270] |All saved files that you have open at the end of your session reload the next time you launch the program, letting you jump right back in where you left off. [125014340280] |Install focuswriter in ubuntu [125014340290] |Open the terminal and run the following commands [125014340300] |sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gottcode/gcppa [125014340310] |sudo apt-get update [125014340320] |sudo apt-get install focuswriter [125014340330] |Screenshot [125014350010] |Redshift - Adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings [125014350020] |Redshift adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings.

[125014370070] |Another key focus is performance; we have already started porting Unity from mutter to Compiz and the initial work is much faster, most notably on hardware that has traditionally had the most trouble from bug reports. [125014370080] |Quality meets design meets performance. [125014370090] |Together as a community we can make this rock.
