BURPLEX(7)BURPLEX(7)NAME
BURPLEX 1.0.0
SYNOPSISburplexDESCRIPTION
This program is intended for photographers who copy images from their
memory cards to their home directory. The photographer may browse the
directory structure and quickly review the images, marking selects or
other purposes such as preview images with a model, for example.
Selects are stored in a file which may be used for batch process
scripting. Burplex will display images stored in RAW, JPEG, or PPM for‐
mat.
Note: check 'file' (/usr/bin/file) command output for your raw identi‐
fier. Output should match the string 'raw image data'. If not, then you
may wish to update the corresponding line in the code below.
The tree may be navigated with the mouse, or the up and down arrow
keys. To select a photo, press the Insert key. If you prefer a differ‐
ent key, see the instructions below.
When a select is made, the file '.selects', located in the same direc‐
tory as the image, is updated and saved. Pressing the Insert key a sec‐
ond time will remove the select status, and update the '.selects' file
(removing the image).
The '.selects' file is useful for batch process scripting.
Example 1: (bash, copy to 'sav' directory)
# while read -r line; do cp $line sav/; done < ".selects"
Example 2: (bash, ImageMagick convert to resize)
# while read -r line; do convert -size 1200x1200 -scale 1200x1200 -den‐
sity 120 -quality 90 $line sav/$line; done < ".selects"
Note: star.png is stored in images/star.png in the source distribution.
It is specified in the burplex.rc RCC Resource File.
