Free grouping software for linux

Gr_Monitor project displays a series of datasets as animated 3D bar charts. The latest version of Gr_monitor uses XML as for the gather-view interface. SGI IRIX support has been dropped - I no longer have easy access to an SGI box (donations welcome).

By default gr_monitor displays information about processes resident on a UNIX system. For each process it displays a 3D bar graph of CPU consumed, memory consumed, resident set size, and elapsed time. The processes are grouped by username. Each username grouping sits on its own little plinth.

There are controls for translating, rotating, scaling, lighting and fog effects. Gr_monitor receives info via an input stream and displays it in a X11 Mesa or X11 OpenGL window. The input is expected to be an XML document with a DTD that defines the data to be plotted.

Gr_gather is a default implementation of a data gatherer. It obtains data from the Linux process file system and reformats it as a suitable XML document. If you wish to record data for later playback, you can run a gather process stand alone and redirect its output to a file.

Gourmet Recipe Manager is a simple but powerful recipe-managing application. Gourmet is intended for the GNOME desktop environment, but works on any platform that gtk supports, including windows.
Gourmet allows you to collect, search and organize your recipes, and to automatically generate shopping lists from your collection. Take a look at the screenshots for a sense of how this works.
Gourmet Recipe Manager is free software. If you want to contribute to the project and youre a python programmer, please take a look at the source code and start hacking! If you would like to use Gourmet in a language other than English, you can help translate gourmet using the rosetta web-based tool.
Simple Search
Screenshot of Search viewA simple index view allows you to look at all your recipes as a list and quickly search through them by ingredient, title, category, cuisine, rating, or instructions. Searching happens as you type to save you keystrokes, and multiple kinds of searches can easily be combined from this same view (so you can search for salads (category) with walnuts (ingredient) without having to open a separate dialog. You can easily sort recipes by clicking on the column youd like to sort by. Furthermore, for advanced users, you can search using regular expressions.
Recipe Editor
Screenshot of Search viewA recipe card view allows editing and entering individual recipes easily. It also instantly multiplies ingredient amounts if you need to multiply or divide a recipe, and even adjusts units to keep them as readable as possible (so that 2 tbs. x 4 displays as 1/2 cup). Gourmet aims to make entering ingredients as intuitive and painless as possible, while still allowing for powerful features. Major Features:
A keyed ingredient list which allows searches and shopping-list generation to understand synonyms (like aubergine and eggplant) and ignore ingredient descriptions (i.e. to treat "tomatoes, finely chopped" as "tomatoes" for the purpose of searching and generating shopping lists.
An intuitive spreadsheet-like editing interface
An alternative, fast form-like ingredient entering interface (which allows you to easily type ingredient lists without looking at the screen.
Drag-n-drop support for importing ingredient lists from your web browser or other application.
Support for pasting ingredient lists in from your clipboard.
Support for grouping ingredients within a recipe.
Support for calling another recipe as an ingredient.(Note: this allows you to use a recipe as a menu!)
Support for optional ingredients.
In addition to ingredients and instructions, you can enter information about categories, cuisines, and ratings that you can later use to search for recipes. In each case, Gourmet allows you a drop down menu of standard categories and categories youve used in the past, but also allows you to enter any custom categories you like.
You can also add images to your recipe for an attractive display. Thumbnails will be displayed in the recipe index. Currently, only HTML export supports images.
Import and Export
Gourmet includes simple and powerful import and export filters for a number of formats, including the two most common recipe formats on the web (mealmaster and mastercook).
Gourmet can import the following kinds of files:
Mealmaster Files
MasterCook text files
MasterCook XML files
Gourmet XML files
A number of popular recipe websites, such as epicurious and recipezaar
Gourmet also can import ingredient lists from a regular plain text list, which can be imported from a file, pasted from the clipboard or dragged onto the editing view.
Gourmet can export the following kinds of files:
Mealmaster files
Rich Text Format
Plain Text
Recipe Web Pages
Gourmet XML files
On GNU/Linux systems, gourmet can also export PDF or postscript files via its printing interface.
Gourmet aims to import and export as many common formats as possible. If you have a format youd like to import, please submit a feature request, or, if youre a programmer, go ahead and start writing the filter yourself!
Shopping List Manager
Screenshot of Shopping List ViewGourmet allows you to automatically generate shopping list from your recipes. You can easily multiply recipes when you add them to adjust for the number of people youre cooking for. If the units are convertable, different units used in different recipes will be added up correctly on your shoppings list (Gourmet even knows the density of some common foods to allow volume-to-weight conversions!). If Gourmet cant convert your units, the shopping list will simply display both units -- for example, the screenshot shows both tsp. and cloves of garlic, since these units cant be sensibly combined.
If you already have an item that appears on your shopping list, you can drag it into your "pantry" so it wont be included! Items added to your pantry will be remembered in the future (so you dont have to manually remove items like "water" from your shopping list every time a recipe calls for it). However, since the pantry list is shown next to the shopping list, you will always have a list at hand of all the ingredients called for by your recipes. (You can drag an item back from the pantry to the shopping list if youve run out.)
The shopping list is also automatically sorted into categories. Gourmet knows the basic categories of a number of foods (produce, meat, fish), and you can create whatever categories are convenient for your own shopping -- I use it for sorting out the basic sections and aisles of my local grocery store and those items that I get from specialty stores. You can set up shopping categories as you enter recipes, or you can move ingredients around within the shopping list view by drag and dropping or using a popup menu.
Main features:
- Simple searching and sorting
- Easy recipe editing
- Import and export from various formats
- A shopping list creator and organizer

qSong project is a song database and a lyrics manager program with multimedia features.
Main features:
- Store and manage song lyrics
- One ssong can have multiple versions
- Song can have related songs
- Copyright information - authors and ccli
- Comprehensive authors database
- Attachment of multimedia files (sound files, picures, tabs...)
- Searching and sorting songs in many cathegories using tree view of the database
- Grouping songs in songbooks

qSong is written in C++ with Qt4 library. It uses SQlite3 as a database backend so it is easy to acces the song database in standard way by 3rd party SQL tools through database intercaces as ODCB or JDBC.
I have chosen this platform because is very portable, relatively fast and easy to extendable with plugins.

2E Programming Language (two es, as in ee, or expression evaluator) is a simple algebraic syntax language. It natively supports expressions (composed of operators and operands), and function definitions, and basically nothing else. Therefore, it can be fairly straight-forward to learn (assuming you are already familiar with general programming constructs).
The language itself is refered to as 2e, however the interpreter is called ee.
An operand can be a literal, such as a numeric value (integer or floating point), a quoted string, a single-quoted character, a variable or a function call. Operators consist of the standard algebraic operators (i.e., *, /, +, -), assignment ("="), logical operators (, =, ==), sub-expression join operator (";"), and a conditional operator pair ("? :") like in C. Also added, is an iterative conditional pair ("?? :").
Heres a couple of examples:
ee -p 2 + 3 * 7
23
In this case, when called with the "-p" flag, the next parameter is evaluated and the final result printed. The "-c" flag does the same thing, but doesnt print the final result (use this when the expression already contains output statements).
ee -c x = 7; y = 11; z = (x * y); print(z; "n")
77
The ";" operator isnt really a statement terminator, it is actually a join operator. It evaluates the left and right expressions, and returns the result of the right hand side. It has the lowest order of precedence, so in general use you can treat it like a statement terminator (however it can be used in the middle of a larger expression, such as within parentheses grouping). It also does double-duty as a function parameter delimeter, such as the print function in the previous example.
The way that the "?" (conditoinal) operator works is as follows:
result = expr_test ? expr_true : expr_false
If expr_test is true (non-zero), then expr_true is evaluated and returned, otherwise expr_false is evaluated and returned. This is just like the inline conditional in C.
Also supported, is the iterative conditional:
result = expr_test ?? expr_true : expr_false
This will evaluate expr_test repeatedly, and as long as it is true, will evaluate expr_true. Once expr_test becomes false, then the final expr_true value is returned as the result of the whole expression. However, if expr_test never was true to begin with, then and only then is expr_false evaluated and returned. Therefore, expr_false can be used for some error handling, for example.
If an operator of lower precedence than ? or ?? is encounterd such as the ";" (join) operator, then a default false target will automatically be assumed. Therefore,
result = expr_test ? expr_true : 0; ...
result = expr_test ? expr_true; ...
are both the same. Heres a more extensive example, highlighting a few more of the operands avaliable. This example also calls the interpreter using the unix "#!" syntax, same as what is used for other scripting languages.
#!/usr/local/bin/ee
# This is a comment
i = 0;
x = 0;
i < 10 ?? ( # Read this as "while i is less than 10"
j = 0;
j < 5 ?? ( # while j < 5
array[i][j] = x; # here we are assigning a value to a 2-dimentional array
j++;
x++
);
i++
)
This example uses the iterative conditional operator to initialize an array. Notice the missing ";" after x++ and i++. this is because they are not followed by an operand (instead, in this case are followed by a closing parenthese). The ";" operator is a binary operator, no different than +, -, *, /, etc. Therefore, it is only used between to operands or two sub-expressions.
Enhancements:
- This release adds a bunch of functions to round out the string handling capabilities of 2e.
- Also added are "anonymous" functions, bitwise operators, and a few code cleanups.

GNU/Linux Desktop Testing Project (GNU/LDTP) is aimed at producing high quality test automation framework and cutting-edge tools that can be used to test GNU/Linux Desktop and improve it.
GNU/Linux Desktop Testing Project uses the "Accessibility" libraries to poke through the applications user interface. The framework has tools to generate "AppMap" by reading through the user interface components of an application. The framework also has tools to record test-cases based on user-selection on the application.
GNU/LDTP core framework uses "AppMap" and the recorded "test-cases" to test an application and gives the status of each test-case as output.
As of now, GNU/LDTP can test any GNOME application which are accessibility enabled, Mozilla, OpenOffice.org, any Java application (should have a UI based on swing) and KDE 4.0 applications based on QT 4.0 (based on the press releases by KDE).
We encourage you to join the project and help us to create robust, reliable and stable test tool/framework for Linux Desktops.
Main features:
- LDTP concepts are derived from Software Automation Framework Support
- LDTP supports verification of actions performed (GuiExist, VerifyState, etc) - API Reference
- Writing test scripts are very easy, the script writer need not know about the object hierarchy
- CPU / Memory performance monitoring of application-under-test can be measured - Class pstats
- From the XML log, we can gather HTML report using XSLT
- Group based execution, which provides precise control on the flow of test-script execution - Gldap XML
- Scripts can be written as a reusable component and for that the datas can be stored / retrieved in XML - Data XML
- User-friendly Text Editor with syntax highlighting for generating and grouping test data Howto use LDTP Editor
- Objects are identified both statically and dynamically
Enhancements:
- Now automation scripts can be written without using time.sleep.
- A particular object and its child can be remapped in a window.
- Memory leaks were fixed.

crip is a terminal-based ripper/encoder/tagger tool for creating Ogg Vorbis/FLAC/MP3 files under UNIX/Linux. It is well-suited for anyone (especially the perfectionist) who seeks to make a lot of files from CDs and have them all properly labeled and professional-quality with a minimum of hassle and yet still have flexibility and full control over everything. Current versions of crip only support Ogg Vorbis and FLAC. If you want to encode MP3 files you should use crip-1.0.
I am constantly refining the process of creating perfect music files to be as automated as possible while still leaving the user with control over as much as possible. To see for yourself how painless it is to make professional-grade music files on your UNIX/Linux machine, go through the crip tutorial.
This script is special because it is the only one that I know that is capable of doing group vorbisgain/replaygain and/or normalization (adjust the volume to be as loud as possible without clipping/distortion) and group labelling/tagging, which makes it easy to allow a group of tracks to be treated as one piece. It can also trim off the silence at the beginning and end of these tracks/groups.
First the script fetches the CDDB info off the internet. Then it prompts you for the grouping of the tracks. This is important because it will treat each group of tracks as one piece, label and vorbisgain/replaygain and/or normalize them (using the volume gain/peak of that group). Normalization is now obsolete with the creation of vorbisgain (replaygain) utilities, so I have that turned off by default and itll run vorbisgain instead.
You can, of course, have each track be a group by itself (such as what youd want to do with most pop CDs). But since Ive also ripped a lot of Classical music I found it necessary to group tracks differently fairly often.
Then it will prompt you for the Artist and Album info (which is already defaulted to what is pulled from CDDB). Afterwards it will prompt you for a filename for each track you selected. Again this field is defaulted to what it suspects that youd want. For most pop CDs all I have to do is hit enter here because the filename is almost always exactly what Id want.
It will then prompt you that its ready to rip. From here everything is automated, so hit return and it usually finishes in about an hour. The script calls cdparanoia to rip the tracks, and then oggenc/flac/lame to encode them. It also labels the files with info appropriately, including the CDDB CD DiscID number (so you will always have a CD reference hex-number inside your OGG/FLAC/MP3 file).
Ive looked into other scripts out there that do something similar to this script, but decided to write my own since I couldnt find one that groups tracks and trims silence. I used this script to rip and encode my collection of over 200 Bach CDs, as well as a bunch of other Classical and non-Classical CDs very easily.
Ive provided links below that include some of the prerequisites that you may need.
Main features:
- Track grouping for automated tagging and appropriate normalization/vorbisgain on multi-track pieces.
- CDDB fetching to populate default information.
- CDDB submit to update the CDDB database with your more accurate info.
- Automates as much of the tagging as possible for fully-labeled professional quality music files.
- Automatically trims digital silence at the beginning and end of a track/group (if desired).
- European character support. Also European character-mapping support.
- Flexibility and full user control in tagging and file naming.
Enhancements:
- Bugfix: -m flag on the command line was not being processed
