As an Aging Graying Portly Old Hippy
and a lesser mortal on all things Linux, I have loads to be thankful for.
I'm still amazed at the amount of people, who give up their free time, to develop and maintain the software,and to help others, which creates such a great community.

About a year and a half ago, I rediscovered photography and linux was always seen as a wasteland for photography.
Then I discovered 3 things that transformed my photography,

 http://www.damonlynch.net/rapid/ which not only downloads but does so much more.

http://geeqie.sourceforge.net/ a very easy to customise viewer.

http://www.darktable.org/ This has to be the best of open source, people in their spare time have created something on par (some would say better) than what the mighty Adobe has created ie Lightroom.
and darktable will not accept donations,

So along with Gimp, RawTherapee, Lightzone and others, a good full list can be found on Pat Davids site https://pixls.us/  Pat BTW is another who gives so much time to all things Gimp,( he's just revamped the web site) and all thing FOSS.

So a BIG thanks to all

Keith.

ps Gimp has just celebrated its 20th anniversary,

AND to you Mark, a big thanks from me

My wife bought a Kodak ESP C310 a while ago (I won't tell you what I said )

I managed to get it to print through cloud print, in a fashion, only photos.

Running Linux Lite, I saw this post and tried your instructions and it works great,

So again thanks,

Keith

All the battery saving apps I've tried, have not worked, or as you say, use more battery.
I've been using wakelockdetector, which tells you which apps are using most power in the background or when the phone is switched off or if you have any wakelocks . I've been using for over a year with no problems.

@ chemicalfan
he uses "OJOSoftVOB converter" this is for "info only" as its on that other inferior os, he says it does multiple files at the same time.

thanks for confirming what I thought,

I've been on linux for about 6 years and have always felt safe, just wanted to know I wasn't getting blasé,

On this laptop, which I bought off gumtree and was loaded with win 7 which I duel booted ( wife likes word for work)
I very rarely go on windows but when I do, it frightens me to death, the first thing I get is pop ups saying "your computer is at risk", upgrade to the full version of avast, no wonder these av companies keep going.

thanks
