Hi all
I'm Bruce
I'm new here but not new to Gambas
I've mostly joined as i have a few handy progs i wish to put somewhere.
Gambas one seems a good place to start.
to list the "useful" ones there are..
asq ; a simple message requester like using 'zenity --question' that can have up to 6 buttons
GrubHack : like it says , edits some grub features and menu, add picture (plus a converter for grub compliance saves as 1024x768 .tga image if you need (needs imagemagick))
Menu Items can be deleted, rearranged and default option set as well as timeout.
Iconify: simple (VERY simple) icon maker using gambas PictureBox control, can adjust size from 16x16 to 128x128
MediaPlay: This lists a folder I have containing a selection of TV shows, i can set shows to be watched in sequential order or randomly, if sequential it stores and increments the episode number , if random it randomly selects and stores a list of watched shows to avoid repeats then clears when all have been seen.
PiTemp: simple little Raspberry Pi temp monitor window, just reads in the thermal temp file and displays it, adjustable check time, hide/show border/titlebar, change colours (would have used SystemTray component but couldn't get it to work)
pkAppMan: This is my answer to the lack of GKSU now.
with this you can easily add programs (like gbr3) the the policy_kit list of pkexec allowable apps. and then easily create launchers for gui apps that need root access using 'pkexec gbr3 path/to/app.gambas'. This also worked for getting balena etcher working on my Debian rig (that and installing ffmpeg).
Shareama: simple Samba config file editor for adding folders to the network
SubTitleMan: simple subtitle .srt file manager, made to check for errors in time code (overlaps/too long/etc) , made before i realised most linux distros have pretty good subtitle managers already haha.
Wav2mp3: made as I make music and and often wanting to convert my wavs to mp3's, settable output folder / bitrate (will add more) derives album/artist name from parent folders or can be set to something.
Some need a little more error handling added to be ready for the public but some handy apps there.
Will upload apps/code somewhere soon and provide links.
Stay well all
