How to remove the emblem (arrow) of the links on the desktop in Hardy In search of a simple tool to edit images in bulk, I found three very distinct from one another. At first my intention was to resize multiple images to be sent by mail (because GIMP do it one by one, had been an ordeal), however, it is understandable that one day you need another type of bulk (batch
) such as rotating or adding a watermark, and so on. Squash
The simplest and lightest of the three. Their only function is to resize images, indicated by a percentage (not pixels). Comes in a package. Deb which can be downloaded from the website
. However, there will automatically be added to the Applications menu so we have to do it manually or by running it from "Run Application" (Alt-F2) and typing
squash
nautilus-image-converter
More than one application is a script that adds to the Nautilus context menu (right click on the file (s)). Includes two options: "Resize Images ..." and "Rotate ...", Images are for resizing and rotating, respectively. can install from Synaptic (System> Administration> Synaptic Package Manager) package
looking nautilus-image-converter . Because it uses as ImageMagick dependency, installation will take us approximately 3.3 MB.
Phatch (Photo Batch Processor)
definitely the most complete of the three. Among its features includes: resize, rotate, round the edges, add watermark, add a shadow and include a text. On the other hand, images can be saved in many image formats PostScript and PDF.
Their form of use is not as obvious as the previous tools, but it is not difficult to learn, is a set of rules to be applied together at the end of the process. In this way, we can combine the different options described, without having to start the whole process every time. This application weighs about 3 MB and is python dependencies
,
vxpython
These three utilities differ primarily in the number of options they have. So choosing should not be too difficult, depending on your needs. Below is a comparison chart:

In a concise article | of | Be Linux my friend mentioned the 3 more frequent applications to upload images to Flickr, namely jUploadr | , Dessert | and | Kflickr
. In this post I want to present the tool that I use, FlickrUploadr | (yes, I know it's not a very original name). While | | official recommendation is to use Flickr jUploadr, large (dis) advantage is that it is written in Java. And personally I do not think it is justified to start a Java virtual environment to run an application that simple. (In fact, I find it a waste of resources). | Unlike other tools for loading, FlickrUploadr weighs only 35 Kb ( | *
), Making it the most efficient option. It also integrates well with the Ubuntu desktop (GNOME) to be written in Python and GTK. Its operation is typical drag and drop.
How to install? Since
's website and download the latest version. (Currently 1.0
). Then perform the following steps: Unzip
file folder. Tar.gz (eg FlickrUploadr-1.0.0) Open a terminal window and enter the just unzip folder. For example, if the personal folder unpack wrote: FlickrUploadr-1.0.0 $ cd At this point we see that we have the package python-dev previously installed on your machine. For this we went into System> Administration> Synaptic Package Manager and look for it. Check that is green. Otherwise, install it (right click> make install> Apply) We return to the terminal and type: python setup.py install
Follow the installation steps
Settings Once downloaded
FlickrUploadr, can be run from a terminal or from "Run Application" (Alt-F2), typing
Uploadr (eye with the first case.) The first time we open the program asked to authorize us in our Flickr account, for which we enter the service and give the necessary permissions.
To access this utility so simple, you can create a launcher (shortcut) in the Applications menu. For this, we make a right click and go to Edit menu. We will open an editing window of the Main Menu: In the list on the right choose the group where we add our pitcher (for example, can be "Internet" or "Graphs").
We click on "New Item" and we will bring up the "Create Launcher" -
Fill with the information you requested. Name: FlickrUploadr. Command: Uploadr. -
- The program does not come with an icon, but we can use this image for the shooter. OK
-
And we can enjoy our FlickrUploadr:) -
Considerations
program can not add descriptions of the images directly. Once uploaded the pictures, it opens a page where we can edit.
can not select the album you want to upload the photo. This must be done by the Flickr Organizr.
does not allow individual licenses (Copyright, Creative Commons) for each image. Use the default settings of the account.
Ubuntu official tool is
- Dessert (Flickr Uploader) found in the application installer. (Which means better support and automatic updates.) F-Spot can also upload images to various services, including Flickr.
- In sum, FlickrUploadr is a lightweight and easily complemented well with the website features. However, unlike other tools mentioned, it has all the features imaginable. Ideal for users who do NOT have a pro account, or simple applications like (minimal)
