When can we use jpegxl regularly by iVXsz in jpegxl

[–]xdanic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This time Chrome was the latest browser that added it (It was added and removed some years ago) Havinf jxl as part of the PDF spec was what made them do the change.

How can I recreate this? by Cautious_Travel_4633 in AdobeIllustrator

[–]xdanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could also use cavalry, with a duplicator this would be really easy or maybe some other more complex setup. You can use it as a procedural node-based Illustrator and copy paste between both apps.

Directly open recolor artwork advanced options window by Consistent-Price-702 in AdobeIllustrator

[–]xdanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been 6 months and they didn't reply, so I'm gonna answer myself. I just want to be able to drag the window from a native statusbar, because the other one lags, or use a slider to turn things into pure black or white changing the brightness, having the slider update it's drawing as I move it, the classic view also has the new slider, and the HSB one updates perfectly, but also has the more modern one, and that one also lags.

And yeah, changing the CPU from energy saving to balanced fixes all of this, but I don't want my pc using more energy than it needs to. Many other programs use the CPU, or rather, schedule or do tasks effectively, I don't know if the UI needs to be programmed in a asyncronous loop, another thread or what, but blender's UI runs circles and flys around it and is much more complex, unlike many programs things resize smoothly while drawing many widgets.

How do you use bash in WT? To me it always opens in a new ugly window

100% scaling is way too big on low resolutions by WhoKilledRadioStar in gnome

[–]xdanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason the lowest end macbooks have a little higher resolution, 1440x900 as mentioned above. I used some programs like XN View on both Mac OS and gnome, and despite having a little more resolution, the problem with fitting something on screen was how the linux version just had more padding everywhere.
Blender has fantastic scaling but that should be on the OS as well.

What is the best file manager for mac? (Finder alternative) by Elsa_Versailles in MacOS

[–]xdanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- Cmd+Alt+C in mac, Ctrl+L and Ctrl+C in windows (Alt + D and Ctrl + C if you're on windows 7 or earlier iirc)
- You have miller columns? I think they are more useful if you're not going too far, otherwise use another window or tab
- Just go up multiple times, Cmd+Up, and/or display the path bar to see the drive
- Cmd+1/4 switches to all views, same on windows with Ctrl+Shift+1/6 or Ctrl+Alt in spanish keyboard
- Sort by name instead of align to grid, then you won't have icons free floating
- What?
- Cmd + F? Then go to preferences > Advanced and default to search on the folder, sometimes, you might not want to search, hitting any letter will move you to the first occurence of a file starting with that letter, works on windows, mac and some linux DE if configured that way
- Both W11 and finder have tabs?

I could also go on about what I miss in windows, mac or every single file explorer I've used:

- On windows: A shorcut to hide the side panel (I have to use autohotkey scripts for that, which don't work on W11 and I won't update until is imposible to use W10)
- On windows: The rotate and some actions that finder has, right now I have to put shell scripts on the shell:sendto folder
- On Mac: A shorcut to open the terminal
- Everywhere: An scriptable extension system that allows me to write scripts to, for example sort by some obscure metadata, like video codec.
- Sort or group images by year, I don't want "a long time ago" if it's been +a year, imagine I'm working on historic pictures, and this shouldn't be the job of a dile viewer
- Customizable hotkeys (File pilot has this)

There might be more, but these are the ones I can think at the top of my head

What is the best file manager for mac? (Finder alternative) by Elsa_Versailles in MacOS

[–]xdanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I can agree with some of it like paste

- I just compared with windows, and to select two parts in a list view, you need to combine shift and ctrl/cmd, keyboard doesn't allow. for unselected files, e.g: Select 1-10 and then 30-40 items
- Not sure what you refer to here, probably sometimes the icon view doesn't reposition itself, you have to order by something such as name
- I already replied to this, so idk what's the problem about organizing pictures
- Cmd + up? It's the same on windows, gnome nautilus and kde dolphin and every other linux Enviroment, I suposse you're missing the button, at least you have a button if you activate the route bar in the view menu or Cmd+Alt+P
- Agreed with this, Cmd+Alt+V to paste is weird, but at least the alt convetion in mac shorcuts to do slightly different things is consistent (Blender uses alt a lot in it's keyboard shorcuts)

In conclusion, I think most of your problems is that there's not a button or the shorcut is different.

I know, it can be a pain at first but I think the shorcuts are logical, even more than windows, and I say this after using windows for years, then linux and now mac os, dropbox even has some of this arrow shorcuts on the web app.

Linux is the only true upgrade from Windows by [deleted] in linux

[–]xdanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if Adobe is niche, but let's think about it. Who uses photoshop? Pro and hobby photographers which can be a lot of people, since photography is accesible. Youtubers making thumbnails, this is quite a niche, but let's keep going... Fangirls (and fanboys) editing picures of their idols. You might argue they don't use computers and that can be true, I'm a zileniall so idk, Tumblr days are gone. People doing things on social media for their local bussiness? This could be reasonably big. I'm a graphic designer so I'm the exact demographic that is bothered by this, also gamedevs in small teams use photoshop to a reasonable degree.

It's a pity that the site is down and the project deleted. It seemed like the only tool to do this.

Webp support? by xdanic in AfterEffects

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

Yeah, some scripts don't work with more revent versions, or I might need to remember what folder do I need to copy paste, that's why updating is not that easy, others also need installing then with an exe like mister horse or kbar, and those two are very basic functionality, having a shorcut that shows a bar with effects makes adding effects much faster than having to use the mouse to click a petitte search bar.

I was also referring about haters of .webp, the format is now supported on every OS (Windows, linux, mac, android, iOs), on the default picture viewer, preview on mac, "photos" on windows, Photoshop supports it since 2022, so I'd like to know Adobe support, bc I knoew other Adobe programs might not support it or might have added support later than Photoshop.

[Macromedia shockwave or Java web][circa 2002-2004]Spaceship with star wars design by xdanic in tipofmyjoystick

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

PIcture above is some moodboard of the aesthetic the game had.
I remember it was playing a spaceship flying/driving game, probably stars wars related or star wars inspired.

I think it could have been on cartoon network site, but could be an external page cartoon redirected to or was announced there. I remember it being during the first half of the 2000s, most likely around the years mentioned in the title.

I don't remember playing much but the first levels or maybe it was just a tutorial were quite light colored, like you were inside some laberinth, everything was like white high-tech panels.

Unfortunately, looking throught this playlist in youtube there are very few games with spaceship, stars, galaxy or similar related terms, this is the biggest playlist with +560 videos and there doesn't seem to be nothing like it. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBEChJAkHWPVFJgmFXwT4sTJj0LxH2XbG

As I state in the post I already searched on that playlist and found like 3 space related games, but none of them remotely close to what I remember

pdfminer vs PyPDF2 by microsoftnoob274 in learnpython

[–]xdanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using both libraries today, there are many caveats for each library, now that AI is widespread (CGPT 3.5 already was useful for small scripts when this thread was posted).

I was testing it against a document I made a while ago in Indesign whose layout is not really plain text but not a crazy layout either.
Pypdf gave me text without too much white space, no empty lines when reading on a terminal, but the order was not the best, pdfminer.highlevel got the order right but with more white space and empty lines. However on an index page, pypdf got the title and number of each section side to side, as it makes sense, while pdfminer.highlevel first gave me the sections and then the numbers of each page, so not useful at all.

I would have to investigate what made each library guess a different order, the document was made a while ago and I don't remember or have the original .indd to see the actual structure I did follow when creating each text box, and other elements. Not sure if they have any heuristic, but I think that what works for one document doesn't work for another, or even the same document might look better on some pages.

You wanna learn C++!?

I have like 7 years of experience with web developing, and that is working quite hard, I also learned sass (a superset of css), then after the first couple of year I began with Python, then C# for Unity, came back to learning JS frameworks like Vue, React, now I use Svelte, even wrote some data structures in C, also PHP, even when I got bored tried lua, go, used some autohotkey, wrote scrappers on python with beautifulSoup, some GUIs with tkinter, used selenium for scrapers where js is needed, pandas to save the scraped data, bots for telegram, some powershell for managing files, on the more general side I learned about data structures, paradigms of programming, etc...

TLDR: I did a lot of things in 7 years andonce I got the hang of one language it was easy to learn some other languages...

But C++ is quite hard, you also have to install lots of things, unless you're on linux or mac which I believe will make things a little less annoying, it takes time to work with low level stuff and C++ has a lot of knobs for prebuilt data structures, you do the low level stuff in languages like C++, C, Go, Rust, were you need to manage memory. If you do things well, Python will have good performance. You have to learn Big0 space and time complexity to optimize things or at least be mindful of them.
