Thankyou muggins,
I just tried this for the first time. i can't believe how easy this makes commonly required transforms such as rotation and cropping. The art transform tools are going to save me a heap of time with a current project.

@ emil,
Open a console and type "fotoxx" (without quotes)
I don't get a menu entry either but I think this may be a feature of later Puppies. think I read this in one of the four pages on this topic but the Forum is too slow to check now.

Change the category in the .desktop file to a better one say....
eg.
In the file /usr/share/applications/fotoxx.desktop
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Fotoxx
Categories=X-Graphic;
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=fotoxx
Icon=/usr/share/fotoxx/icons/fotoxx.png
GenericName=Digital Photo Editor
Please read up on .desktop files for the future as you may want to teak menu entries!

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Fotoxx image viewer
Categories=Graphics
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=/usr/bin/fotoxx
Icon=/usr/share/fotoxx/icons/fotoxx.png
GenericName=Digital Photo Editor

Uploaded v9.2.
fotoxx 9.2
DateJan 1, 2010 at 17:35
Select area by color was made easier: an optional radius of action was added to quickly incorporate excluded "islands" or push-out area edges. Area edge calculation and blending was made into a separate dialog. The defog function was removed - it duplicated the functions of the brightness and color saturation curves, and also the new tone mapping functions produce better results. For the Blur function, the minimum blur radius was reduced to 0.5 pixels, which is barely perceptible. Two bugs were fixed: (1) Tone mapping with edge blending was causing some pure black pixels to turn white. (2) The edge of a mouse-selected area which also hugs an image edge was not being omitted for the purporse of edge blending.
To Emil, abushcrafter, munichjohn, and anyone else interested, the problem with fotoxx not appearing in the menu, with p431, was because p431 clobbered the "Graphics" category, and apparently needs some sub-category. So I've changed the .desktop file to have:
Categories=2DGraphics
and it definitely appears in menu for p412 & p431.

Don't worry about me I set a custom category anyway so I still have to edit it!

I use Fotoxx to convert a PSD to JPEG file. It worked fine. Fotoxx did complain about the exif tool/library not being available. The installation was to Puppy 4.3.1. Thanks for the pet!

JustGreg,
regarding the fotoxx's exiv complaint, just install exiftool, from the first post. See:
(N.B. This latest release requires the installation of the attached freeimage library .pet. It also supports usage of exiftool & ufraw, if these are installed.)

I have the same complaint about exiftool not being installed, despite having installed it. It was not a problem in 9,1, but beacma a problem in 9.2.

@outtaspam,
I wonder whether it's just a missing symlink...can you try just running fotoxx, in a console, and see if it gives more details?

Same issue here. Running 9.2 from console gives:
Code: Select all
fotoxx v.9.2 2010.01.01
language: en_US
using 1 threads
FreeImage 3.11.0
exiftool sh: exiftool: command not found
ufraw: error while loading shared libraries: libexiv2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
sh: printoxx: command not found
sh: /usr/bin/printoxx: No such file or directory
Regards and thanks for the pet.
[EDIT] (and solved... sorry muggins, I don't know how to read clearly explained posts...)
Sooooooo... to have fotoxx and ufraw working properly on puppy 4.2.1, here is what I had to install:
- libexiv (from
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... h&id=10229) (not standard on puppy 4.2.1)
- libgtkimageview-1.6.1.pet (from
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=31881)
- ufraw-0.16-i486.pet (from
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=31881) (muggins, your main post points to version 0.15, which does not exist anymore)
- FreeImage-3.11.0-i486.pet (from page 1 of this thread)
- fotoxx-9.2-i486.pet (from page 1 of this thread)
Sorry again

Your pet loads and works ok in puppy431 but the missing exif popup appears in my debian puppy, i compiled the missing printoxx and it is recognized as loading in terminal. I cannot test if it works as i do not have a printer connected.

fotoxx pet runs well but i also have the problem with exif tool not loading, typing exiftool in console gives this output
# exiftool

#
Exiftool-7.72-i486, Freeimage-3.11.0-i486 and ufraw-0.15-i486 were all installed prior to installing Fottox
Not too sure what the console output means but it may help someone.

Arf... I must be really distracted...
It is as muggins said, a symlink is missing.
After installing libexiv (from
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... h&id=10229), please type in a terminal:
Code: Select all
ln -s /usr/lib/libexiv2.so.0.1.0 /usr/lib/libexiv2.so.2
This will create the missing symlink and everything should work after that.
