iFolder

Tuesday, 23 March 2004  |  brad hards

Been busy at work, hasn't led to much hacking at night - too tired.

I did manage to finish off the Sony Memory Stick projector converter. Just a command line mockup at this stage - integration into KPresenter is the next stage. I was really happy to see how powerful Qt/KDE is. My command line tool takes the names of graphics files as arguments, and resizes them and converts to 1024x768 baseline encoded JPEGs. Doesn't matter what the input file format is - three lines of code later, its written out in the right format.

The other thing that I noticed was the announcement of the Novell iFolder. I think we need a client (and/or modifications to existing apps) - probably fits into KDEPIM. Not sure if a kioslave is an appropriate interface at this stage, but it usually is, so the chances are looking pretty good :-)

Yeah, there is a Gnome client for iFolder.
