In April the rains have returned to most of Spain, and as every Monday, Freetos reach Genbeta loaded with interesting and useful free applications. The gathering this week is this:
PDFedit is a powerful editor that will be leaving us to change our taste PDFs, something that very few programs allow (normal, PDF is not meant to be an editable format). There are several levels, as well as things we can modify the text or images, or move to an advanced mode where we can change everything. And we can extend the application to perform repetitive tasks as it supports a language very similar to JavaScript.
Fotox is a photo editor who focuses solely on in any way facilitate the correction of images with something preset options. Although it is still at an early stage of development, along with usual options such as red-eye correction, rotation and cuts, it has other more interesting as editing levels of the image (and may apply only to areas selected), creating panoramas or creation of the so fashionable photographs HDR. In the latest update has been added to the translation into Spanish, as well as options to distort the image, remove noise and lower the number of colors (the bullet). All these options with a very simple and with a very gentle learning curve.
Gestikk is a small application for Gnome that allows us to perform actions with the mouse gestures. These gestures are generated by pressing the right mouse button and dragging, and to be detected launch the application you have chosen. It is actually quite powerful, since it allows us to execute any command you introduce, in addition these gestures mouse may be limited to certain events: for instance, if I have an application open, I make a cross with the mouse, it means that I wish close it, whereas if I do without any open applications, it means that I want to shut down the computer. Certainly it is a tool dedicated to advanced users, but still we used can save valuable seconds in the day-to-day. The latest version has improved integration with Compiz.
Glom is a well-designed application that can save some money to small businesses or in other areas, as this helps design and implement database systems in a forthright manner and without intermediaries. Thus, the first allows us to create the database, in a simple manner and without any technical knowledge of how it works inside (used PostgresSQL but is fully encapsulated), simply stating what entity / relationship / fields we save. Then we can create an interface for users of the system are something simple where you can edit / view data in a manner very similar to Filemaker, with the ability to create reports with a button. Then we can create useful systems that we can deploy to multiple machines on a very simple, just 4 configuring the fields to access that database. If you join this application is that in most of the repositories distros?
Sonata is the latest of applications today, and no less interesting. It is an interface to the player mpd, for which no known player is a sound running mode? Devil?, Ie has no interface itself and therefore have proliferated enough. Sonata is one of the most elegant and handles easily playlists of songs information, cover art, letters, etc.? Nothing new has no audio player average, but if you are one of those who is in love with mpd, Sonata can be your pretty face. In this latest update, the 1.5, along with a small face washing have included a couple of dozen small changes.
Indeed, in recent days have been updated a lot of applications (minor versions) popular in the Gnome environment, such as Evolution, Epiphany, Transmission, Tomboy, AbiWord, VLC, Inkscape, Pidgin, Beagle, etc.? Should you like to be up to date, compÃlalos already, but I recommend waiting until your distro incorporates (in addition, are small changes, nothing really new).
