photoprint

[jfloydb]

I'm looking for, or a program like, photoprint https://www.blackfiveservices.co.uk/photoprint.shtml... Apparently, it is no longer maintained, and\thus I cannot find it in the MX Linux repositories, but it was a nice utility... Any info will be appreciated, thanks...

Personally, I use nomacs which is available through MX Package Installer (MXPI). It might be overkill, for your needs, but it works very well.

i use nomacs to for my needs. i remeber some old apps that might have been what he was looking for. but brain power or lack there of is foggy. a couple were older in the linux world and the others were mac based so no doable in this case,

there are image viewers and image editors. not sure how well they will work with mx linu. https://www.bodhilinux.com/a/ have alook see.

if i can remeber more possibilities i will post back.

If your after image management and various tools including printing etc, I havent found anything better then DigiKam , and they have an appimage which works pretty well on xfce too.

Thanks for the response... But if you look at photoprint, it is a utility that allows you to drag photos/pictures into a set of frames on a page; and, then, allows you to print the page (like an album page) of the pictures. That is all it does.

So... I guess my question is: does anybody know of a program/utility that would allow me to print photo album pages? I have, in the meantime, set up a template in Scribus that allows me to place multiple photos on a page, so that I can print the page. But it's kind of a clunky way of doing things. I hope there is something better/easier. Thanks again...

photoprint was in the M19 test repo. Maybe it works in MX21 or can be "tweaked"?

Thanks timkb4cq... I'm glad to get photoprint. I really like the utility. I had no idea it was so old. It should be updated/maintained. Anyone who has not tried it, should. Thanks all...
