If you like opening all your documents in a single instance of Kate, replace the command line “kate %U” used in KDE’s file binding by “kate -u %U”. This is actually quite well documented in Kate’s manpage as well as on the faq on the homepage, yet somehow I thought it is useful to note this one down as it is not accessible from the GUI.

You can find KDE’s file bindings here: control center > KDE components -> file associations. From then on, every file you like to open with kate through the context menu will use those settings, even when it’s not a txt.

In other gimp news.. You probably already saw the Content Aware Image Resizing movie on youtube. I read somewhere the guy was hired by adobe a few days after his initial presentation. I don’t know whether it’s true, he seems to work for Mitsubishi. But that didn’t stop some guy to make an open source implementation in the form of a gimp plugin. It’s a public paper after all!

Yes, I’m late

Be sure to check out the changelog walkthrough, otherwise you won’t understand what the fuss is all about

Btw, on windows I had some trouble launching it with the modules. It seems my gimp was using its own supplied gtk runtime while the plugins just took the one in the env path. Long story short: just uninstall the freaking global one, long live data duplication!

Ever wanted to split off the audio from a flash movie? I know you want to.
Until now I simply used graphedit+ffdshow+dump filters but it is quite clumsy to work with. So today I did another google search, and yep, it’s an all active subject on the web by now. It seems there are quite some tools now, but a lot also seem very questionable… Until I found this open source one (always trust that more ;)).

So, without further ado: enjoy Moitah’s tools!

P.S.: as a bonus, you get an avi too

Ever needed to ‘debug’ or examine a particular JPEG image’s quantization tables, chroma subsampling, quality factor and stuff? Try JPEGsnoop. Pretty nifty tool.
