SprinterDriver, thanx for that. Seems awfully complex for what in lesser programs is one tool. Yes it is, but the focus for Gimp is being a photo editor. For task like making arrows and any text annotations I use Inkscape because that is a program that is more geared toward such tasks than Gimp. If...

Hi. For this kind of tasks I'd rather used Inkscape. When you mention (make the borders thicker) I assume the border is already embedded in the image (consists of individual pixels). In that case, the whole drawing process must be redone. However when you do graphics in vector images, the concept is...

disclaimer: I tried to post this yesterday, but even after hitting submit the forum somehow dismissed my attempt to post. I cannot see a clear description on HOW you're planning to edit pdf files, so I throw out some generic ideas. Libre Office Impress The tests I've done for myself indicates this i...

I cannot see a clear description on HOW you're planning to edit pdf files, so I throw out some generic ideas. Libre Office Impress The tests I've done for myself indicates this is actually a very potent editor for PDF files. The output file may be slightly un-aligned compared to input file, but have...

I tend to use Brave browser on yt instead of official app.

Try to reboot, and after you've logged in to desktop you try to connect it again.

Yesterday I just discovered that an update on my Samsung A32 phone had suddenly installed 3 unwanted apps without my consent. Because of this, I figured I'd give each of that app a bottom review on google play. However, it turned out I was blocked from giving any review. Later, I figured that one ca...

Ok, I just get this stupid (funny?) idea in my head and felt for writing it down before I forget - comparison between OS'es: Windows user: Pay for the meal and the chef delivers. However the chef won't tell what ingredients or animal meat used in the food. Nor can you make specific wishes for your t...

I can see from your other thread that you are referring to the Notes app, which I mentioned in that other thread and which is preinstalled in Mint. I don't actually use the app but my assumption is that the notes are saved automatically unless you specifically remove them. I can confirm this is the...

Ogg files are primarily used as audio files, and thus graphical thumbnail isn't that useful? According to this forum thread < link > ogg files doesn't natively support thumbnail images. I don't know if this is true. Btw, in general < web search > on " How to make Caja file explorer view thumbna...

Hi. I have an old Dell latitude D620 that I've giving away for kids (so their mom doesn't have to loan her computer all the time for kids to do basic school work). I have set up the laptop with four user accounts. The mom have her own user account and have admin privileges. The kids have only regula...

Hi. Have an old 320GB disk that I used Gparted on Fedora 39 to remove old partitions and create a new xfs partition that spans the whole disk space. After that, I used the disk as a target disk for Clonezilla. Clonezilla was set up to run checksum tests on all large files, and there was no indicatio...

Ok, thanks for rapid response anyway

Hi. I'm just starting to get the hang on basic usage of tmux now - trying to use that instead of two terminal windows/tabs. But I just figured that the scroll wheel cause the command prompt line to scroll through previous entered commands in that pane, but I expected to be able to scroll through the...

The issue has arisen after the photos taken on my Android mobile phone could not be displayed on the phone. The Android error was 'Unknown picture format or corrupted file' or words to that effect. That sounds like photos being lost. Odd thing is the phone displays a thumbnail of the pictures in th...

So maybe a file failed to download ?

Hi folks. I have this habit of whenever I came in a discussion on testing of RAM, I'd advice using Memtest that ships with Linux boot images, rather than the freemium version located at passmark. This is where I ask if I'm factually wrong and I need correction if so. I use to emphasize the fact that...

Thank you for clarifying

Btw. I use SimpleScreenRecorder instead as it does work on this hardware.

Hi. I've just installed Obs, and I get this error at launch from terminal: $ obs debug: Found portal inhibitor debug: Attempted path: share/obs/obs-studio/locale/en-US.ini debug: Attempted path: /usr/share/obs/obs-studio/locale/en-US.ini debug: Attempted path: share/obs/obs-studio/locale.ini debug: ...
