FotoTaggerMD - Add metadata to your photos

FotoTaggerMD is a metadata editor for your photos and images. With FotoTaggerMD you may simply add a title, tags and description to your photos without the need to import the photos to a complex photo managing software.

FotoTaggerMD uses IPTC metadata and displays a link to Google Maps if your photo contains EXIF GPS metadata.
FotoTaggerMD is based on the Qt Framework and the exiv2 library. The program is written in Python.
The software is licensed under the GNU General Public License.

Requirements

You need to install the following packages to run FotoTaggerMD (note for Windows users: everything you need is contained in the setup package below, you don't have to install anything else):

Download


The source package contains the Python source of FotoTaggerMD.

Usage

On Windows you just install the software by starting the .exe package you downloaded above. An entry in the start menu will automatically be created.

Unpack the package and change into the created directory:

$ tar xzf fototagger-0.1.1.tar.gz
$ cd fototagger-0.1.1

Then, to start the program:

$ python fototagger.py

When the main programm windows opened you may click on the "Select..." button. Browse to the folder containing your photos or images. Then "Open" that folder. Your images are loaded, this may take a while depending on the size and amount of your images.
Your images will be displayed in the left view of the main window. You may click on each image or scroll down the view to see more photos. When you click on a photo, the current (IPTC) metadata will be displayed on the right side of the main window. There you can edit the "Title", "Tags" and "Description" of the currently selected image. If your image contains (EXIF) GPS metadata, then a "Google Maps Link" will appear at the bottom of the right side of the main window. Edit the metadata in the fields on the right side and click on "Save" to save the metadata. As long as you do not click on save, no metadata will be written to the image.

A note on the metadata: the title, tags and description will be saved as IPTC metadata, as most software and online image libraries (like for example Flickr) will rely on IPTC metadata. The description field will also be written as an EXIF "UserComment", as this field is used by other kinds of software (like the Eye of GNOME on Linux).

Albus

Albus is a small Python application written for Linux using the PyGTK framework. It allows you to display album artwork on your desktop, with each album cover linked to a directory (presumably one containing media files... such as music files... such as that album's tracks... getting the idea?). From each album cover you can open the album's directory and queue or play its media files with customizable commands (depending on the player).

It was inspired by the late, great Clutter, an old Mac OS X application for the PPC architecture. I'd link you to it, but the developer's website has disappeared and the application now exists most visibly at http://osx.iusethis.com/app/clutter

Albus is not a music player -- it's meant to be used in conjunction with a music player, as a pretty-looking interface. I've used it successfully with VLC, Totem and MPD (via both SonataMPC). Basically, any music player that lets you queue items from the command line will work. and

If you download the Python tarball, you'll find installation instructions in the README.

Albus is a pet project, and very much a work-in-progress -- as such I make no claims as to its usability, stability, drinkability, so on and so forth. That said, I'll be updating it regularly so please check back every once in a while for an update. Bugs and requests are also welcome.

Siege

SIEGE is an http load tester and benchmarking utility. It was designed to let web developers measure the performance of their code under duress, to see how it will stand up to load on the internet.

pink-pony

Sabily

Sabily is an operating system, like MS Windows or Mac OS X. Without an operating system, a computer is unusable, and Windows is not the only OS available! (though you often don't have the choice, that's why we are working hard to fix the bug number one)

I already have Windows, why would I use Sabily ?
Because Sabily is free, already includes all software you need in your everyday tasks, and is customized specifically for Muslims. And even if you didn't buy Windows, you should not use pirated copies because then you are still supporting Microsoft by adding to the impression it's the only OS available.

It should be a tremendous work to develop an operating system?
Actually we don't start from scratch, we use the Ubuntu operating system as a groundwork. Ubuntu is a GNU/Linux distribution whose goal is to provide an easy-to-use, up-to-date, stable and free system, also for companies. Sabily customizes Ubuntu by removing, modifying and adding software, and also customizes the graphic design to make a system adapted to Muslims.

Is there a company like Microsoft which develops Sabily?
No there isn't, just a communauty of voluntaries coming from all over the world (France, Tunisia, Egypt, Indonesia etc.). You can as well participate, as a developer, a graphic designer, a tester or if you just want to share your ideas.

What are the main features of Sabily?
The main software are: Zekr and Mus-haf Othman (Quran study tools), Minbar and Firefox-praytimes (prayer times applications), Monajat (application that popups prayers every predetermined time), Hijra (islamic calendar) and WebStrict (parental control tool). Arabic language is also well supported. And of course the graphic design is also customized (see screenshots).

What other software are included in Sabily?
OpenOffice (word processor, spreasheet, presentation), Firefox (web browser), Pidgin (instant messaging), F-spot (photos management), Gimp (image manipulation program) and other multimedia software (video/audio). All of this in included in the "small" version of Sabily, but the "full" version contains dozens of other software! (educational software, tools and entire Quran recitations, see the full list here)

Sabily seems very interesting, what should I do to use it?
You have to download the ISO file and to burn it on a DVD, then to start your computer from the DVD. You will have the choice to test or to install the system. In a first time we advise you to test it because it is safe for your computer, nothing will be written on your hard disk. You can even test Sabily directly from Windows, by using a Virtual Box image.

Tor: anonymity online

Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis.

Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location. Tor works with many of your existing applications, including web browsers, instant messaging clients, remote login, and other applications based on the TCP protocol.

Hundreds of thousands of people around the world use Tor for a wide variety of reasons: journalists and bloggers, human rights workers, law enforcement officers, soldiers, corporations, citizens of repressive regimes, and just ordinary citizens. See the Who Uses Tor? page for examples of typical Tor users. See the overview page for a more detailed explanation of what Tor does, and why this diversity of users is important.

Tor doesn't magically encrypt all of your Internet activities, though. You should understand what Tor does and does not do for you.

Tor's security improves as its user base grows and as more people volunteer to run relays. (It isn't nearly as hard to set up as you might think, and can significantly enhance your own security.) If running a relay isn't for you, we need help with many other aspects of the project, and we need funds to continue making the Tor network faster and easier to use while maintaining good security.

Hijra

Hijra Islamic Calendars is an application for viewing the Islamic calendar (also known as Hijri calendar). It features a GUI with a tray applet. It includes both a high-level OOP library and a low-level library which can be used to implement other software that makes use of this type of calendar.

Hijra Islamic Calendars uses a special algorithm which gives much better precision than other known algorithms. It uses integer operations to avoid round off errors in floating point operations.

Minbar

Minbar is a GNOME Islamic prayer times application on top of libitl, the Arabeyes prayer calculation library.

It runs in background as a tray icon, plays the 'athan' (call to prayer) and notifies at prayer times.

Minbar works with the main calculation methods (Muslim League by default, Shafii, Hanafi, ...).
