Applications and Tools

FlickrFrame

FlickrFrame is a set of Perl scripts that allow you to turn a standard Linux distribution into digital picture frame connected to Flickr.com. Users can "subscribe" to any number of Flickr photosets, which will then be displayed as a slide show.

SlideShow

Slideshow is a kiosk-style application for showing text, image, and video in a loop on monitors and projectors. It is not meant for situations where interactive control is required, but when the content is continuously looping for a long time. The content is updated through a Web GUI. The application is split into two packages, the backend and frontend. The backend is written in C++ and OpenGL. and the frontend uses Python. Currently. the frontend is very GNU/Linux specific and will not run on any other platform, but is meant to be as platform independent as possible, as long as it handles OpenGL.

GNOME PHOTO FRAME

GNOME Photo Frame is a photo frame gadget for the GNOME desktop. It shows pictures on the desktop from multiple sources: local folders, F-Spot databases, Flickr API, Picasa Web Album API, Tumblr API, FaceBook and RSS.
