Package: wnpp Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: s...@packages.debian.org, p...@trickod.com Control: affects -1 + src:slop
I intend to orphan the slop package. I am not using X11 anymore, and can't keep up on maintaining those two... It's best for someone to pickup both slop and maim at once, if possible. Maintainer of the maim package in CC. (Patrick, by the way, I am going to remove myself from uploaders, but I'm happy to sponsor future uploads if you need such a thing and you can't find another sponsor. I recommend you adopt slop as well, let me know if you need guidance on that front...) The package description is: slop (Select Operation) is an application that queries for a selection from the user and prints the region to stdout. It grabs the mouse and turns it into a crosshair, lets the user click and drag to make a selection (or click on a window) while drawing a pretty box around it, then finally prints the selection's dimensions to stdout. . Features: . * Hovering over a window will cause a selection rectangle to appear over it. * Clicking on a window makes slop return the dimensions of the window. * Clicking and dragging causes a selection rectangle to appear, renders pretty well (compared to scrot). And will return the dimensions of that rectangle in absolute screen coords. * On startup it turns your cursor into a crosshair, then adjusts the cursor into angles as you drag the selection rectangle. * Supports simple arguments: * Change selection rectangle border size. * Select X display. * Set padding size, even negative padding sizes! * Set click tolerance for if you have a shaky mouse. * Set the color of the selection rectangles to match your theme! (Even supports transparency!) * Remove window decorations from selections. * Supports OpenGL hardware acceleration. * Supports textured themes. * Supports programmable shaders. * Supports a magnifying glass.
