Free selection software for linux

File Selection Language (FSL) is a descriptive language for file selection. File Selection Language is used to selectively pick files from a directory structure.
FSL is useful for selective backups, for instance. FSL uses glob patterns as the basic building block.
For fine-tuning the selection, inclusion/exclusion rule combinations and conditional expressions are available. File size and modification date can be used in expressions.
Main features:
- FSL can be used with a command line tool (fsltool) or, for Python programmers, with a programmable interface. For the Python interface, see the documentation of Interpreter.py.
- Several FSL rule files can be combined in a cascading manner similar to CSS. The effect is the same as if the rule files were pasted into a single file.
- Support for both Windows-like and Unix-like paths.
- Strict parse-time type checking to catch as many errors as possible before run-time. For example, you cant say EACH f IF size(5) > 1000 because function size expects filename argument.

Inline::Select contains dynamic selection of ILSM for a package.

SYNOPSIS

use Inline::Select::Register (
PACKAGE => Calc,
Inline => [ Perl => sub {require t/Calc.pm} ]
) ;
use Inline::Select::Register (
PACKAGE => Calc,
Inline => [ CPP => t/Calc.cpp ]
) ;
use Inline::Select::Register (
PACKAGE => Calc,
Inline => [ Java => t/Calc.java ]
) ;
use Inline::Select::Register (
PACKAGE => Calc,
Inline => [ Python => t/Calc.py ]
) ;

use Inline::Select (
PACKAGE => Calc,
Inline => $ARGV[0] # one of Perl, CPP, Java, Python
) ;

my $c = new Calc() ;
ok($c->add(2, 3), 5) ;

USAGE

Usage of Inline::Select is pretty simple. For each programming language, you must speficy a use Inline::Select::Register (or Inline::Select->register() at runtime) statement to register the use of Inline for that language. All the Inline parameters are saved and that Inline block will only be evaluated if that language is selected later on.

When you are done registering Inline blocks, you then spefify a use Inline::Select (or Inline::Select->bind() at runtime) to actually load (in the caller package) the Inline block for the selected language.

Word Inspector project is a GTK frontend to Dict dictionary program.

The dict program allows you to search through one or more dictionary-like reference books for a word, then displays its definition.

Word Inspector expands that by allowing you to enter words to look up more easily, easily look up words that appear in the definition for another word, and automatically look up a word in the X Windows selection.

Choosefont is a simple but extremely efficient tool for quickly finding the required font in a large amount of fonts.

It was created due to the lack of decent font selection widgets in many application.

Apart from finding a font, Choosfont can also creat css, html and other code for the selected font, this code is automatically copied to the X clipboard.

SIOX stands for Simple Interactive Object Extraction and is a solution for extracting foreground from still images with little user interaction.
The underlying method is fast, noise robust, and can also be used for segmentation of videos. SIOX is free (GNU GPL) and is currently being integrated into the GIMP.
SIOX originates from E-Chalk where an instructor standing in front of an electronic chalkboard is segmentated.
Enhancements:
- Major code cleanups were done.
- A bug concerning multiple foreground object selection was fixed.
- Further documentation was added.

SMPlayer is a utility to play media file via the media player MPlayer. Files can be selected by a File-Selection-Dialog or by Drag-and-Drop.

By now it supports only basic functionality:

Select File, Play File, Seek, Switch to Fullscreen, adjust volume.
During playback a progress bar is shown.
