Free kommander software for linux

PacKommander is a GUI wrapper for the pacman package manager of Arch Linux.
It is my very first Kommander script; but it does the job pretty well. Use it to install, upgrade, search, remove, query packages (local or repository) as well as synchronize database, upgrade system and clear file cache.
Main features:
- Quite light-weight and fast.
- Can perform almost all the tasks that CLI pacman can do. This includes install /upgrade /remove /query /view details /search packages both from server repositories as well as local packages in hard disk.
- Can be (in fact, must be) started as normal user to perform non-admin tasks like search/query pacakges. Root privilege is sought for automatically (using gksudo) as and when required (e.g. to install/remove packages).
- Can handle multiple packages at a time using a Package Queue system. Essentially, a list of queued packages is shown (packages can be added/removed from queue), from where you can select and manipulate multiple packages.
- Certain tasks like Upgrading entire system, syncing database with server, clearing cache, optimizing pacman, etc can be done by a click of a button.
- Hand-editing of certain configuration files is also supported using nano editor in xterm.
- Every task is actually carried out by pacman. The progress can be seen in the external xterm window and the user has to interact with it limitedly (for confirmations, etc.)
- The UI is fully configurable using Kommander-editor.

Kitty Hooch Photo Manager is something I wrote for myself I thought Id share. I use it to process photos where I need to copy, resize, create a thumbnail and write some text. I got sick of gimping (sick of gimp really) and automated this to produce text files or PHP strings too.

If you call it from Quanta it will even regester everything in your project so its one step from picking a list of photos and commenting on them to uploading. Sorry, you have to write your own PHP libraries.

This requires ImageMagick. I just added the thumbnailing and I know how to make it a lot faster, but Im too tired to do it now. In case youre wondering if you can do anything with Kommander, this is EXACTLY the type of thing I had in mind for it. This may not be what you need, but with a few minutes of editing the output patterns it may be a dream come true. Enjoy.

MAC Changer GUI will display and change your MAC address to a user supplied or random value.

Created with kommander 1.3.0. Not sure if it works with previous versions.

Depends on kdialog and must be executed with the kdesu command.

Example:

kdesu kmdr-executor /home/someDIR/mac.kmdr

As this script is executed using root privileges it is good practice to inspect the script for malicious content. With that being said there is nothing in the script that can harm your computer. A reboot will restore your original MAC if you forget its value and want to change it back.

Kscan2pdf project is a simple GUI interface for KDE / Kommander to quickly and easily scan multiple pages via an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) and convert them into PDF format.

Though this started as a simple app to speed up some work related tasks for me, Ive decided to throw it out there for the benefit of all who might need it. This is the first release of what will most likely be a work in progress. With new options and features still to be determined. Please let me know about any successes/failures with other hardware/software versions, as well as any suggestions for future versions.

KBookRipper is a CD-riper based on cdparanoia focused on audio books delivered on CD. The project will rip a set of CDs with the same meta data. The output format is OGG, not MP3. The CDs assumes to be part of a audio book.

I wrote it since I was very annoyed that the meta data for a book delivered on several CDs never was the same for all CDs and frequently was missing for at least one of the CDs. The crappy meta data made it hard to rip books with K3B.

This program allows you to enter meta data (author, title, published year) that is used for all the CDs in the book. The only meta data that is changed if the CD-number and that one is increased automatically.

Each books is stored on disk kept together and files are named with the assumption to be part of a book.

For me, this little program has been most valuable since I have ripped about 150 aduio books to put them on my MP3-player. Or, rather, my OGG-player. The output of this program if ogg-files. There is no option what so ever to create MP3-files (although it is a GPLed software and lame takes about the same command options as the oggenc takes).

The applications is made with kommander. The working part is written in bash and the script depends on cdparanoia and oggenc. The command play is used to play a little blip when ac CD is done (blip not included). The script will fail if cdparanoia or oggenc is missing (do the test in the settings-page). If the command play is missing only the blip will fail.

Ive used this for a about one hundred books and I have designed the GUI myself. I guess that disqualifies me to actually have any opinions about the GUI and usability. Du feel free to send me an email and give me feedback. If you think this application is useless, please let me know why.
