Command line for Images app
 

Hey guys.

I would like to write a very small script, when executed, will open up a selected image, full screen, and then launch Xmms to run on top of this.

Could I get some help just on how to load up a full screen image by command line?

Cheers.

"xdg-open /path/to/image" does the job on n900/n9 not sure if it works the same way on the n800.

Re: Command line for Images app
 

xdg-open /media/mmc1/desktop.png
-bash: xdg-open: command not found

It's not in /usr/bin/

Could xdg-open be somewhere else?

Re: Command line for Images app
 

On N9 it is in /usr/bin..
Package xdg-utils

Mine goes from xbindkeys to xkbcomp to xml2gbs.

Re: Command line for Images app
 

Install Diablo's xdg-utils. It should include xdg-open, according to the description.
Best wishes.

Thank you Wikiwide.

I'll definitely look into this.

Thanks for the great find. :)

Re: Command line for Images app
 

So I gave it a try.....

xdg-open /media/mmc1/desktop.png
/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 412: xprop: not found
/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 438: sensible-browser: not found

It wouldn't install from the app manager but dpkg -i gave no complaints.

On that Maemo site, I didn't notice any dependencies for this so I'm not sure what might be wrong.

Re: Command line for Images app
 

install xprop and sensible browser?

Re: Command line for Images app
 

Hmmm....

Nothing was found for "sensible-browser" in the database.

And xprop (v. 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu1) was only found in http://austinche.name/maemo for Bora.

Re: Command line for Images app
 

sensible-browser is included in Debianutils.
xprop is part of X11-utils in Extras-devel.
Best wishes.

Hmm.

The only thing showing that's available to install from the app manager is X11vnc 0.9.3-maemo4 and nothing about debianutils either.

Here is my extra devel repo that is enabled.

Extras Devel
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/

free non-free

Re: Command line for Images app
 

X11-utils is here: extras-devel fremantle free. Since you have extras-devel, free, the only difference there could be is fremantle vs. fremantle-1.3
Debianutils are in extras fremantle free.
Debianutils for Diablo, in extras-devel
X11-utils for Diablo, in extras-devel
X11vnc 0.9.3-maemo4 is from Diablo Extras; in Diablo Extras-devel, there is X11vnc 0.9.3-maemo1
Best wishes.

I really hate dependencies, especially when I would only like to do one simple thing.
