pgmfindclip project can automatically find a clipping border for a sequence of pgm images (a fine companion for transcode on Linux).
This tool tries to find a suitable clipping border for a series of gray images. It is very useful to automatically extract clipping values for transcoding a movie if the source frame is encoded with black bars.
A border around an image is defined by a rectangular and homogenous valued area extending from each edge of the image (e.g. the black bars around a movie frame). For each image the largest clip border is determined and the smallest common region of the image series is returned. Empty images or images with no valid clipping region are ignored.
To cope with noisy regions in the black border areas, the region finding algorithm does not simply cut away all regions with purely zero values, but it uses a threshold in the absolut gradient sum along rows and columns as a hint for the begin of real image contents.
You need a frame processing tool like transcode to actually perform the clipping operation.
The program assumes that all images have the same size!
Installation:
Compile the source code with the given Makefile and place the resulting binary in your PATH.
Usage:
You first have to generate a gray image sequence from your movie. The combination of the -K and -y ppm switches in transcode is very useful in this situation:
transcode .... -K -y ppm -o sample
It is very important to extract frames from different regions of the movie. It is usually a bad idea to extract the first couple of frames of a movie since they often contain a black screen or logos that would lead to wrong clipping borders. A better and still efficient solution is to pick all the files of the movies title set (the VTSxxx.VOB files) and use the VOB mode of transcode to extract a single frame from each file (bash syntax!):
for a in *.vob; do transcode -i $a -x vob -z -K -y ppm -o sample -c 32-33 ; done
Note that I skip a couple of frames (here 32) because decoding of movie frames at the beginning of a vob file is not always possible correctly. (The set of VOB files is a locigal unit but the files itself are only splitted due to file/filesystem size constraints (=1GB)). Also note the -z option to flip the frames.
Then you can run pgmfindclip with:
pgmfindclip sample*.pgm
The clipping border is returned as a list of 4 comma separated values:
< top >,< left >,< bottom >,< right >
This is the correct syntax for the clipping option (-J) of transcode:
CLIP=`pgmfindclip sample*pgm`
transcode .... -j $CLIP ....
Constrain the result
pgmfindclip has various options to constrain the calculated clipping result. You can force that the resulting image is a multiple of a given factor. Also the border can be rounded to another factor. This is useful if you want to process the clipped image with a video coder that imposes such restrictions on the input format:
Give the modulo for the target image size with the -f option. The modulo for the border is given with -b. pgmfindclip will issue an error message if the combined aligning of frame and border is not possible. The frame size will be reduced to meet the restrictions and thus the border will be enlarged. You can swap this behaviour with the -e (expand) option. Then the frame might be larger than the determined clip region.
pgmfindclip -f 16 sample*.pgm
This example enforces a modulo of 16 in both directions.
More Features
- If the black bars are not zero valued but have a value above zero then the gradient is very large at the border of the image. You can skip this test by specifying the -o (offset) option. Then the search will start n rows/columns later.
- You can add a safety border to the calculated clipping region with the -s option. This is useful to skip bleeding artifacts at the border of scanned analog material.
- You can visualize the found clip border with the -w option. This option will write new PGM images (*-m.pgm) with the clip border drawn as an inverted rectangle in it.
Enhancements:
- added patch by Svante Signell (fixes a div by zero bug)

2clipboard is a service menu that copy the URL or the name of a file or directory to the clipboard.

Installation:

1. extract 2clipboard.tar.gz

2. copy clip.py to bin somewhere in Your path (i.e. to ~/bin)

3. copy 2clipboard.desktop to ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus or use the famous Add Action Service Menu

Its only in english or german - for other languages complete 2clipboard.desktop or post me

Thanks to Armin Straub for clip.py.

Clipmarks is a Firefox Extension and its about breaking down the web into pieces instead of pages.

When you find something in a web page that interests you, clip it.

By adding tags to clipmarks, youre able to create your own searchable collection of things youve clipped from the web.

Clipmarks is also about seeing and discussing things that other people are clipping.

qmeterslib library provides a highly customizable Qt widget for creating complex analog dial widgets. It supports multiple scales, multiple needles, and customizable needles and backgrounds.
qmeterslib library works as a "container" QAnalogMeter widget that is initially empty. The developer must create one or more instances of a scale (clock or sector) and one or more instances of index/needle (clock, donut, pie). A demo application is included.
Enhancements:
- All KDE dependence was removed from the demo and the project itself.
- The project is now based on Qmake instead of KDevelop.
- Index behavior was corrected so that values out of range are not considered for widget update.

mp3dup looks for duplicate files in recursively searched directories. It is written to check for duplicate MP3 files, but can be used to find duplicate files of any type.
Parsed files are inserted in a hash table keyed with the size of the file. Files with the same size are md5summed, and those md5sums are inserted in a new hash table. Files with the same size and md5sum are brute-force-diffed. Non regular files are just skipped. Empty files are printed as such.
mp3dup can also find files that are equal with the first, or last N bytes. This is accomplished by hashing on the head and tail parts of the files, and byte-comparing the collisions.
Enhancements:
- Identical files are no longer reported as Match:ID3 too.

libgpod is a shared library to access the contents of an iPod. libgpod library is based on code used in the gtkpod project. Starting with V0.96.CVS gtkpod depends on this library.
This code was originally part of gtkpod itself. When the parsing code was made self-contained with gtkpod V0.93, we chose to put this code in a separate library so that other projects can benefit from it without duplicating code.
libgpod supports playlists, smart playlists, playcounts, skipcounts, ratings, podcasts and cover art. Audio as well as video is supported. Photo support has been implemented with version 0.4.2.
libgpod is licensed under the LGPL.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a problem with empty sort strings which caused multiple listings of albums on the iPod.
