Free kio software for linux

KIO-POV is a KDE IO-Slave for the Persistence of Vision Raytracer (POV-Ray).
It provides an easy-to-use interface to POV-Ray for rendering scenes, viewing render results, render logs and information about POV-Ray files. For example if you want to render the scene /usr/local/share/povray-3.6/scenes/advanced/biscuit.pov (which comes with POV-Ray) you just open:
pov:/usr/local/share/povray-3.6/scenes/advanced/biscuit.pov?render
in konqueror (or in a KDE image editor if you want to edit the image) and you get the image rendered by POV-Ray.
Render results are cached so when you access the same render twice without modifying the scene you will not have to wait for the render to finish again.
Apart from the basic rendering mode which returns a PNG image you can also access information summaries about the scene in HTML form (see screenshot) and view the log file of the render. If POV-Ray reports errors while processing the scene the error message will be shown as well.
KIO-POV also supports MegaPOV. MegaPOV scenes are automatically rendered with MegaPOV if it is installed.
Note KIO-POV requires POV-Ray 3.6 or 3.6.1 to function properly. It is strongly recommended to install the latest official version from the POV-Ray website (both the source and the binary version will work).
If you want to report bugs in KIO-POV or otherwise want to contact me about it you can do so via the povray.tools.general newsgroup on the POV-Ray newsserver. For KDE-related questions the KDE mailing lists will also be helpful.
Enhancements:
- adding animation support (using ffmpeg)
- adding inline render previews in the file information pages
- fixing various bugs

Kio-Sword project is a kioslave for the KDE environment. KDE uses kioslaves to access files from many different sources or protocols. For example, the file:/ protocol is used for all local file access, http:/ is used for web access, and the help:/ protocol/ioslave is another way to access the help files in the KDE Help Center.

Kio-Sword adds the sword:/ protocol to your system for easy access to Sword modules. Just type sword:/ in Konquerors location bar, and youll be presented with a list of modules you can browse as a web page. If you know exactly where you want to go, you can get there quicker - e.g. type sword:/KJV/John 3:16 for John 3:16 in the King James version.

Kio-Sword features hyperlinked cross references (for example in commentary modules) and hyperlinked Strongs numbers and morphological tags (in modules that include them). Basic search functionality is also included, as well as the ability to customise the page using various options, and by providing your own CSS file.

Beagle is a lucene-based desktop search tool written in Mono. beagle KIO slave is a kio-slave to perform beagle query.

KIO Slave sysinfo:/ for PCLinuxOS 2007 is the PCLinuxOS 2007 package of openSUSEs KIO Slave sysinfo:/.

KDiff3 is a graphical text difference analyzer for up to 3 input files, provides character-by-character analysis and a text merge tool with integrated editor. KDiff3 can also compare and merge directories.
KDiff3 can be used to merge two or three input files and automatically merges as much as possible. The result is presented in an editable window where most conflicts can be solved with a single mouseclick: Select the buttons A/B/C from the button-bar to select the source that should be used. You can also select more than one source. Since this output window is an editor even conflicts which need further corrections can be solved here without requiring another tool.
Main features:
- Fast navigation via buttons.
- A mouse-click into a summary column syncs all windows to show the same position.
- Select and copy from any window and paste into the merge result window.

Konqueror is the file manager for the K Desktop Environment.

Konqueror is the canvas for all the latest KDE technology, from KIO slaves (which provide mechanisms for file access) to component embedding via the KParts object interface, and it is one of the most customizable applications available.

Konqueror is an Open Source web browser with HTML 4.01 compliance, supporting Java applets, JavaScript, CSS 1, CSS 2.1, as well as Netscape plugins (for example, Flash or RealVideo plugins).

Konqueror is a universal viewing application, capable of embedding read-only viewing components in itself to view documents without ever launching another application.

DesktopBSD aims at being a stable and powerful operating system for desktop users.
DesktopBSD combines the stability of FreeBSD, the usability and functionality of KDE and the simplicity of specially developed software to provide a system thats easy to use and install.
The main goal of the DesktopBSD project is to provide a desktop operating system thats easy to use, but still has all the functionality and power of BSD.
In the long term, DesktopBSD wants to build an operating system that meets most requirements desktop users have, like installing software, configuring power management or sharing an internet connection.
To be better able to fulfill this goal, we strongly rely on users that send in feature requests, ideas for improvements or participate in development.
DesktopBSD is free software, which means it is free of charge. Also, if youre a developer and want to find out how DesktopBSD works or modify it to fit your needs, you can download the full source code.
Main features:
Stability
- DesktopBSD is based on FreeBSD, which is one of the most reliable and robust operating systems in the world.
Usability
- The KDE Desktop Environment and specially developed tools provide a maximum of usability to our users. KDE features such as KIO slaves or remote desktop sharing and DesktopBSD features like network profiles, easy mount procedures and many other convenience features make life easier and increase productivity.
Performance
- The development of FreeBSD (and therefore DesktopBSD) is highly focused on performance. The system manages resources efficiently and reacts fast even when many processes are running simultaneously. This also affects networking, so DesktopBSD tries to optimally use the available bandwidth.
Security
- Concerning security, the BSD operating systems are world-class. For example, OpenBSD had only one remote in the default install in more than eight years. DesktopBSD benefits from the work of other BSDs such as OpenBSD and passes that advantage on to you.
Enhancements:
- This release candidate is considered a large step towards a final release 1.6 with major changes such as: X.Org release 7.2, improving support for modern graphics hardware; NVIDIA graphics driver, providing hardware 3D acceleration for NVIDIA video cards; Latest FreeBSD 6-STABLE as base system with High Definition Audio (HDA) support... Upgrades from 1.0 and previous release candidates are supported. An additional language CD and 64-bit (AMD64) DVD will be released soon.
