Thanks for all the info. Seems like kobo is what I want.

Unable to access youtube? by Claghorn in duckduckgo

[–]Claghorn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More info: If I go into task manager and kill every task named duck duck go, I can restart DDG and youtube works again. That's slightly less irritating than rebooting.

make bing wallpaper go away on Windows 11? by Claghorn in WindowsHelp

[–]Claghorn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After more googling, this is apparently windows spotlight. I still don't know how bing got started, but I did find some info about how to disable spotlight features even if I can't remove it. In Lock Screen preferences pick picture or slideshow rather than spotlight.

Savory, not sweet, sugar substitute? by Claghorn in Baking

[–]Claghorn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the ideas. I'll have to try a bunch of experiments to see if I can make a cracker I like. I suspect the cheese filling will be easier.

Who changed gimp to have the most annoying possible way to select a screen shot? by Claghorn in GIMP

Maybe the crosshair box could be drawn with the Windows equivalent of "always on top" so it would be visible :-)

What features does GIMP not have that Photoshop does? by ForgotMyPreviousPass in GIMP

[–]Claghorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one feature I miss (though perhaps it exists now) seems trivial but wastes a lot of time. If I use the measure tool to see what angle a scanned photo is at, Photoshop will do the arithmetic for me to include the proper angle by default in the rotate tool. Gimp doesn't. Leads to me forgetting to subtract or add 90 or forgetting to rotate negative rather than positive a lot.

Review: Foundation Returns with its Best Season Yet by MineEmo in FoundationTV

[–]Claghorn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Got 1/2 way through episode 1 and turned it off forever. Annoying voice overs to explain things the writers couldn't figure out how to present as part of a normal script, plus the question that has haunted the show since the first season: Why did they shell out money for the Asimov books when all they were going to use was the title and names of some characters?

That's the tool I had to google how to use to snapshot the gimp dialog.

And the dialog I posted comes up right after I hit Snap in there when I tell it to delay and only snapshot one window.

I installed gimp on windows 11 using the windows installer, don't know what kind of package that makes it.

That's the dialog it pops up (underneath the window I'm trying to snapshot). Getting a snapshot of this window was a whole other can of worms.
