My personal ROX page

Here some applications designed for ROX-Filer can be found. Some of them I wrote myself, some are just hosted here.

I hope soon I would have enough time to develop more usefull applications for ROX.

MPlayer-ROX

MPlayer-ROX is a simple wrapper for mplayer written in python. It aims at making it easier to watch films with mplayer under ROX. Just drag an icon of a film over the icon of MPlayer-ROX and the film launches automatically. If you drag two files (one is a film, the second is a text file) then mplayer starts with the text file as subtitles, appropriate window expanding for subtitles takes place.
It's a very early version, so the code and style is very ugly (but I'll be fixing it) and there can be some bugs. Please mail to me all bugs and feature requests to the adress which you can find in the "about" field of MPlayer-ROX. The whole application can be downloaded from here. To use it just unpack it somewhere and drop an icon of the movie on it. Enjoy&Have Fun!
Special dedication for Patrice - my dearest wife (it was "bride" written here not so long time ago...). I was thinking about You while coding...

Update: 05.25.2004: Now the app can be configured by righ-clicking on it and selecting "Configure" from the Application Menu. This uses the simple textconfig utility displayed in new xterm. If you can not use this for some reason, edit the file config.py by hand.

Update: 06.08.2004: Configuration is now done by GTK+ window. Nice and ROXy. This is .1.5 version release.

Update: 06.23.2004: Version .1.8 released. Better way of determining file type. See more in Help/CHANGELOG in the package.

MagickThumbnail

MagickThumbnail can generate thumbnails of many files many types in your ROX-Filer window. Supported are: images (jpg, png, gif, etc), xcf files, pdf, dvi, ps and many others (see Help files in the application directory).

It was originally created by Guido Schimmels, but Janek Kozicki has made some important improvements, esspecially on generating thumbnails of pdf and xcf files.

The archive with application can be downloaded from here: MagickThumbnail-0.5.2.tar.bz2 (newest version).

More information and improvements are coming soon...

Img_resizer

It's a very simple shell script I use to resize the images to a constant size. They can be either placed in the same directory the original image is in, or in some other dir. The size of the smaller image, the target directory and the filename suffix is configureable with the $HOME/.img_resizerrc file.

To use it, just use the "send to" rox-filer function. Works really nice. And, one more thing, requires ImageMagick.

The source code is here.
