  • Kdenlive 0.7 for Ubuntu 8.04

    13Dec
    Categories: Linux, Software utili Comments: 8

    If you are using Linux and you are searching for a great video editing software here you will find a great software.
    Kdenlive is a great non-linear video editing software that is becoming lot popular because quite flexible.

    Kdenlive 0.7

    Kdenlive 0.7

    Unluckily the version under Ubuntu 8.04 is very unstable so I downloaded source and compiled by my-self, then I thought sharing was good :)
    So here are instructions how to make it works without compile a single file:

    • Install KDE 4.1 libraries in your Ubuntu: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1.2
    • Unpack zip file to your favourite directory
    • Open in an text editor the file: <dir>/bin/kdenlive_start
    • Modify the line:
      export INSTALL_DIR=/home/marco/kdenlive
      according to the location where you unpacked the package
    • Run that file
    • Enjoy!

  • KDE 4.1 and Plasmoid resizing confusion

    23Nov
    Categories: Linux Comments: 3

    There are some details that in software usability (the big word of all and nothing) are important: icons are for sure one of these.

    A good icon should immediately tell you what is meant to be and how works the functionality behind it.
    I will show an example how an icon is badly representing the functionality that “hides”.

    A KDE’s Plasmoid can be resized and the resizing icon is like that:

    kde_41_resizing

    Resizing icon

    Without knowing anything about software everyone could guess that clicking to that icon and moving to direction bottom-right the plasmoid will be bigger (both width and height).

    kde_41_resizing_01

    Before resizing

    So I tried to use it and surprise! Holding the left click on the icon and moving to bottom-right direction the plasmoid’s width becomes bigger, but the height is smaller!
    So the icon is not representing the functionality or the functionality is not correctly implemented, either way I don’t understand how I can resize a plasmoid without ending up in such a mess!

    kde_41_resizing_02

    During resizing, moving mouse to bottom-right

    After playing around a bit I discovered that there is an identical resizing icon on the left side (you need to move near to left’s border) that moving to the same direction makes the window smaller (both width and height); so we have two identical icons, but with different behaviors and both are not what the icon is representing! This is a big usability issue.

    I will post more things like that in my blog in future, as you know (or maybe not), details are important for me and for my work :)

    Note:
    issue reproduced on Kubuntu Linux 8.10 that ships KDE 4.1.2 as default WM.

  • Skype Call Recorder: registrare le chiamate con Skype per Linux

    31May
    Categories: Linux, Software utili Comments: 1

    Se siete arrivati qui siete un appassionato di Linux o un pazzo/rivoluzionario/anarchico insurrezionale che mi ha seguito e ha installato Linux.

    Ovviamente usate anche Skype senno’ che cavolo venite a fare nel mio blog (scherzo) e arrivati a questo punto volete anche registrare le chiamate che fate.
    Beh un tipo ha sviluppato un programma dal nome Skype Call Recorder che fa proprio al caso vostro.

    Scaricate il file .deb per chi ha K/Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 due click e sara’ installato in poco tempo lo troverete comodamente sotto K->Utilities (ora ho il SO in inglese).

    Avviate prima Skype, poi il programma in questione, confermate che volete che usi Skype e poi lo gestirete tutto dall’iconcina nel systray.

    Potrete dirgli di registrare tutte le chiamate o di chiedervelo ogni volta; le chiamate le troverete comodamente nella cartella Skype Calls nella vostra home, oppure potete cambiare anche destinazione.
    Formati audio supportati: Wave, MP3 e OGG.

    Che dire? Comodo, funziona, free, open-source, per Linux!
