If you are running LM 19.x, another method for having the latest version of darktable is to add the PPA. I have used the flatpak, but I find the installed version is faster, smoother, and I had problems with the flatpak crashing when applying a style. Information about the PPA is at https://launchpa...

Am I the only one who never answers a phone unless it is a number I recognize :) Nope. For all intents and purposes my cell phone is an answering machine - my default "ring tone" is silent, and only a handful of people have earned an audible ring tone. Once upon a long time ago when rotary dial tel...

I wish every forum, FAQ, git-wiki ... all related sites would offer a re-direct to the main page. Few do. :( Maybe I am clicking it wrong, but clicking the Mint Logo at the top always sends me to the LM Forums Index page. As far as I know, that is the home page. I think the OP wants something that ...

Have you tried inserting the Logitech Unifying USB Receiver and then trying to pair the mouse? I have several Logitech devices, and I always needed to pair them with the USB Receiver.

I have to echo kc1di .... I have used Master PDF Editor for several years, and I have been satisfied. It meets my needs, and I have found very few things to dislike about it. One issue I had early on was it displayed facing pages incorrectly - I brought it to their attention, and it was corrected in...

Thanks. THIS sounds similar to what I am looking for. I will try it and hope it is not too hard to use. When you say "it should not be too difficult to write a "specs" script, that worries me a bit LOL. I don't know anything about writing scripts. From what you have described, what you need is some...

It is a Macro utility. For example if I want to type in my address I can set it to type my entire address every time I type the letters "addr." Or I can type my entire Computer specs by just typing "specs." I think you will find AutoKey to be satisfactory for this. AutoKey is a keyboard automation ...

Link to old LibreOffice version downloads https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ Older versions of LibreOffice are also available as an AppImage. Unlike installing the .DEB, with the AppImage nothing is installed to the system other than downloading the file. To remove an A...

I don't want to get or view exif metadata as much as inscribe/write it.

I think exiftool is the best tool for this job, too. If you prefer a GUI approach, I suggest XnView MP because it allows you to edit metadata as a batch process.

I'm scanning a bunch of negative film. The output I've chosen is TIFF because it's lossless. I know that JPEGs (which phones and real cameras use) embed the timestamp and location info into the EXIF/metadata. How about for TIF files? You can view the exif metadata with the ImageMagick identify tool...

Thanks, Ben; but no way to do it globally, which would include basic text fields and programs? Was hoping there was some custom keyboard shortcut that could be coded in? Launch the System Settings application and select Keyboard. Select the Layouts tab, click on Options, and then click on Position ...

There are a couple of ways you can do this in LibreOffice Writer. I think the easiest way is to let AutoCorrect handle it. Make use AutoCorrect While Typing is active - from the Menu go to Tools>AutoCorrect and select While Typing - when you enter -- it will automagically turn into an em dash. If Au...

You might want to take VueScan for a test drive. It is commercial software, but a Trial Version is available. Your scanner is supported.

I think the screenshot on the website is for v1.7, which has been under development for a long time. If Tabs are a feature for the repo version (v1.6), I have not found a way to turn it on. If you go to View>Tool Windows from the menu and activate Images, you will get a window that shows all of the ...

I agree with Pjotr, your best option may be to install the .deb. It is available for download from the XnView MP website. https://www.xnview.com/en/xnviewmp/ While you will not get updates via Update Manager, XnView does a pretty good job of letting you know when a new version is available. XnView i...

I recently addressed this (again) with my mother. She has a will and a living will; my brother is the executor of her estate, and he has final say in any matters. Both he and I have access to her safe deposit box. I set up and maintain her online accounts/passwords. I set up a password safe (KeePass...

Anybody else having similar problems and if so, what did you do to fix it? Standing on a chair, stomping my feet, raising one hand, shaking my fist on the other, screaming Me! It first popped up for me a month or so ago, and first noticed the problem when my gmail accounts would fail to connect. Th...
