There are several front ends for this - but I wanted to write a very simple one to creare a 'gui' for the command line code.<br /> For example - the component dir2slideshow has a command line that might look like<br /> <br /> $ dir2slideshow -o /home/david/photos/germany2011/gervid -t 5 -c 2 -notitle /home/david/photo/germany2011/spreewald<br /> <br /> What tool would you use to write a simple interface that creates and executes this command line ?<br /> There seems to be a lot of choices - I wonder if Gambas is the easiest to achieve a result with.<br /> <br /> (Here -o is the output directory, -t the slide time in secs, -c the transition time between slides, and the final directory is the input directory where my pictures are for the slide show).<br /> <br /> Thanks a lot<br /> <br /> David http://www.linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=104142#104142 davidknibb Mon Jan 30, 2012 6:54 am http://www.linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=104142#104142
