This is how to get KIM working on the latest version of KDE/Plasma

Download as usual, extract the folder and instead of executing install.sh run the following commands:

sudo cp src/kim_*.desktop /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/
sudo cp src/bin/kim_* /usr/bin/
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/bin/kim_*
sudo chmod a+r /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/kim_*.desktop
sudo mkdir /usr/share/kim
sudo cp COPYING /usr/share/kim/kim_about.txt
sudo mkdir /usr/share/kim/slideshow/
sudo cp src/slideshow/* /usr/share/kim/slideshow/
sudo mkdir /usr/share/kim/gallery
sudo cp src/gallery/* /usr/share/kim/gallery

Please make a Dialoge-Field, where you can enter the size of the Border which should be added to the image. At the momemnt, you can only choose black or white border, but not the size!

Would be fine, if you'll add a option, to convert an ordinary jpg to an progessive loding one.

Befor, i still posted this Script, wich expand an image, keep ratio, and if Ratio not fit, add the background-colors to those edges are not ratio.

If you've done, you have to add a new entry in the dolphin Service-Menu. This goes like this:

vi /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/kim_convertandrotate

Then add below the section [Desktop Action ConvCustom] your own new one:

[Desktop Action ExpandRatio]
Name=Expand Ratio ...
Name[de]=Vergrößern & Hintergrundfarbe setzen (aspect Ratio)
Icon=image
Exec=kim_spread %U;

For some time, files converted from jpg to pdf have been much inflated : for example, a 600 Ko jpg file becomes a 5,5 Mo pdf file.
It used to work well before, pdf size was the same than jpg size.
I know that kim lies on imagemagick, but I do not know where to configure default settings of imagemagick. Or maybe, can one fix it in kim settings ? and how to do that ?
Any idea ? Thanks for help.

Yes, it is working with the KDE 4.

The 'Download New Services' is an optional - The last Kim update (Feb 23 2009) was before the 'Download New Services' was implemented.

The kim4-0.9.5.tar.gz is available - You could download it and install it manually. The Kim4 is also available from the Ubuntu PPA repositories: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=kde-service-menu-kim4

... and the Kim is under the 'KDE Graphic Tool' ( http://kde-apps.org/?xcontentmode=223 ). The 'Download New Services' is seeking things from the 'Service Menus' ( http://kde-apps.org/index.php?xcontentmode=287 ) - I think ??

I love KIM, in fact I just installed it on my rebuilt LMDE + KDE 4.8.4 box because I realized I missed having it. I'm finding that I can find some wallpaper images that are 1680x1050 that I want to resize to 1440x900. It's a direct resize and I know I could just let KDE resize it on the fly but I like to have my wallpaper images sized for my screen in case a wallpaper change comes when I'm already pushing my CPU pretty hard. Would it be possible to add 1440x900 to the list of available image resize sizes?

I need to spread an image to another size, without to resizing it.

So it can be done on this way:

1) Create a Border for the Image with same Backgroundcolor (would be fine, if your KIM-Border-Function had an inputfield to insert the size of the border!)

2) Croop the Image to the new Size

Best way, you add this new feature to your KIM Programm to make all those steps with one klick.

Click Spread-Image
>> Enter needed Image-SIZE (must bigger as actual imagesize)
>> Choose needed Color


This are the lines, which made it:
(Spread an image from 600x450 to 610x460) :

mogrify -border 500 -bordercolor "#ffffff" test.jpg

convert test.jpg -gravity Center -crop 610x460+0+0 +repage croped.jpg

I have a BUG found on KIM.
If i choose some images, right click >> Convert & rotate >> Convert for Webpages 800x600 - KIM ask me to overwrite existing files.

If i say yes... no files are changed. I have always to say no... in this case, KIM creates new files with the prefix web_

Hi,

first congratulations for the great work on this service menu.

Secondly I have made some modifications to include the choice of text colors when using kim_treatment.


case $SCELTA in
mark) annotation=`kdialog --inputbox "Choose your annotation:" "My annotation"`
textcolor=`kdialog --inputbox "Choose the color for the annotation:" "black"`;; # added for color choosing
border) color=`kdialog --radiolist "Kim - Select border color:" 1 "white" on 2 "black" off`;;
and then on the execution

mark)
mogrify -fill "$textcolor" -font SheerBeauty -pointsize 20 -draw "gravity southeast text 0,0 '$annotation'" "$ATTACHMENTS"
....
....
mark)
convert -fill "$textcolor" -font SheerBeauty -pointsize 20 -draw "gravity southeast text 0,0 '$annotation'" "$ATTACHMENTS" "$DIR"/text_`basename "$ATTACHMENTS"`

It adds one more dialog box, but it adds good functionality (at least it helped me :-))

Feel free to integrate it if you wish...
Regards
