wmgrabimage
WMGRABIMGAE(1) General Commands Manual WMGRABIMGAE(1)
NAME
WMGRABIMGAE - Dockable WWW Image monitor.
SYNOPSIS
wmGrabImage [-h] [-display <Display>] -url <Image URL> [-http <URL>] [-c] [-delay <Time>]
DESCRIPTION
wmGrabImage is a WindowMaker DockApp that maintains a small thumbnail copy of your favorite image from the WWW. The image to monitor is
specified via the "-url <Image URL>" command-line option and it gets updated approximately every 5 minutes. The update interval can be
overridden via the "-delay <Time>" command-line option (Time is in seconds).
Each of the three mouse buttons can be double clicked with the following effects;
Left Mouse:
Brings up the full-sized image in xv.
Middle Mouse:
Sends a URL (specified via the -http <URL> command-line option) to an already running netscape process or in a new netscape process
if there arent any running.
Right Mouse:
Updates the image immediately.
OPTIONS
-h Display list of command-line options.
-display [display]
Use an alternate X Display.
-url <Image URL>
The URL of the WWW image to monitor.
-http <URL>
The URL to send to netscape via a Middle double click.
-c Center the image vertically within the icon.
-delay <Time>
The time between updates. The default is about 5 minutes.
FILES
The original sized image and the thumbnail XPM image are both stored in ~/.wmGrabImage/ which gets created if it doesnt already exist.
SEE ALSO
wget and the ImageMagick convert utility.
BUGS
Who knows? -- its still Beta though. (Let me know if you find any). Oldish versions of the ImageMagick convert utility have a memory leak
-- if you have that problem, upgrade to the latest version.
